The campsite was small and quiet (perfect for us!) The bell tent we stayed in was the perfect size for us two adults and two children, including our travel cot. The little bar area near the lake was a lovely touch to charge phones and relax of an evening. Was lovely to wake up and see the horses. The showers and toilets were pretty clean and more than satisfactory for a campsite. It was also very helpful to have access to the fridge and sink area. Around a lovely little campsite.

Not a dislike, but some constructive feedback: I think the campsite would benefit from a little honesty shack for essentials (like snacks, bottled water, plasters), just as we have seen this at a different campsite and it came in very useful.

How clean the tent and toilets were and you can buy bundles for wood there too.

There were quite a few wasps and there were rats down the stream next to the tents but I guess that can not be helped.

Rural, close to Chester and Liverpool, we both wanted to visit (Crosby beach with Another place from Antony Gormley)
Nice atmosphere, handy to be able to cook water and use kitchen covered but outdoors.

A bit poor men,s facilities, just one toilet, no washtub with mirror to shave.

We LOVED our stay at Kings Acre & we would 100% return!! Firstly I sent a message asking for a pitch with as much space as possible for my high energy, high needs little people & we ended up lakeside for a tiny upgrade fee which was really beautiful, with only one other bell tent (which you can hire, empty) just bring your roll mats & sleeping bags, how ace!!
We were given really great instructions to find the place & it went without a hitch. We were welcomed by the lovely owners on the 1st day & they were always easily found doing jobs on site, but equally we were left alone to our family time. Lyndon helped us fing the perfect beach for what the kids wanted to do & was really knowledgeable about the local area. As it was our first camp in our new bell tent he lent his expertise with pitching up & putting down too!
Lovely clubhouse to shelter from the rain or just plug your phone in. Showers were fab. Always clean, warm & powerful. Perfect kitchen area, again nice & clean. A fridge freezer AND a kettle, a couple of luxuries that make camping with a family so much easier.
Plenty of room to play football & horses on site who loved watching the kids play.
Don't let the flight path put you off, it's really not that busy & pretty cool to see/hear the planes, none of us were woken up by them.
If you are the type of person that wild camped before kids (like us) & now you still want that back to nature feel, with the ability to flush a loo & make a coffee without getting the gas stove out first thing, this is the place for you!!

We visited Rhyl (40mins away), Colwyn Bay (40mins away), Llandudno (50mins away), Chester Zoo (10mins away), Blacon adventure playground, a community project (10mins away) & Chester (10mins away.) There is an ASDA, Aldi & Morrisons all within 15mins of the site, yet you still feel like you're in the middle of nowhere when you get back to your tent. Absolutely perfect 👌

Leaving Kings Acre & coming home!!

Gorgeous clean belle tent already up for our arrival, quite family camp site. Little pub was open on Saturday what is a great addition the guy behind the bar was friendly and lovely to chat with. There is a fridge freezer to keep good food/ drinks cold, kettle and washing facilities. Charging station for phones. My children enjoyed playing by the lake using nets and being in nature.
Hosts are lovely and friendly.

Friendly hosts. Lovely small site.

No play area. No hot water for washing dishes (kettle available to boil though)

Flat spacious pitches, vicinity to Chester, clean facilities.

We had a wonderful weekend. The tent itself was clean, comfortable, and very well-kept. The facilities on-site were clear, practical, and provided everything we needed for an easy stay.

The location is excellent, with easy access to nearby supermarkets, making it effortless to pick up fresh food, drinks, and supplies. Overall, the site felt peaceful, open, and delightfully spacious, with a warm and friendly atmosphere. It was a fantastic base for exploring Chester, and we will very likely be returning next year!

Lovely family run site. We loved how small it was and had everything we needed. The location was great to access lots of different places like Chester, Liverpool, north wales. Very friendly hosts, clean showers and bathrooms and useful kitchen area.
