  • Lakeside park in a wildlife haven on five acres of grassland
  • Dog friendly with woodland walks; hot tub to hire
  • A few minutes' walk from a nature reserve with fishing pools
Grownups! If you seek serenity, scenery and nature-spotting on holiday, this is the Shropshire site for you. Adjacent to the mere of Colemere and set on the lake's south side, adults-only Colemere Caravan Park is in a countryside setting on five acres of wildlife-laden land with peaceful walks all around – and a quarter of a mile from Wood Lane nature reserve, which the expert folk at the BBC describe as one of the best birdwatching sites in Shropshire. Owners Dave and Ingrid have put a lot of thought into ensuring that guests are kept comfy at this peaceful and popular little site: as well as a good range of accommodation options, guests have access to a fully-equipped and cute social area, all hand-built and including a kitchen with fridge, kettle, utensils, pots and microwave. Firepits are available on request and guests can bring their own barbecues. And for keeping toasty after that, a Nordic wood-fired hot tub overlooking the lily pond is available to hire in the afternoons and evenings for four-hour periods (couples only). Picnic tables are dotted around to place the campfire food on, and the park has well-kept separate bathrooms for ladies and gents.

What customers say

Great for couples! Peaceful, spacious sites by Colemere lake. Lovely walks. Owners are super friendly, facilities spotless – even a communal lounge. Access roads a bit tight & some pitches uneven, but overall, a top spot many return to.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Excellent site, not to crowded, plenty of space to choose your pitch, the break out room was a great meeting place, and also handy for a cuppa, toilets and showers were spotless. Only stayed the one night with tent and motorbike, but will definitely return. Great walk along tge canal into Ellesmere, takes about an hour, but very scenic along the way, as pass other lanes. Great wildlife on the site, at one with nature.

Disliked Nothing.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Amazing campsite, stunning location with lots of walks and places to visit. Owner has a map that gives loads of walking opportunities to do from the site. Very friendly and would highly recommend.

Disliked Not really much to dislike, only thing I could think of is there was only one wash up sink but it wasn't an issue as you just have to wait in an area with lovely views ha ha.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Adam thanks for your review.

We do have two sinks for washing up inside the communal area and outside by the amenities.

Kind regards

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Ingrid and Dave were lovely and very welcoming! They even gave us a little map of popular walks to go on in the area.
The services were amazing, clean toilets, well organised and stocked kitchen/social area.
We booked out the hot tub and this was a great addition to our bank holiday weekend!
The site is right next to Cole Mere where you can enjoy lovely little walks.
We will 1000% be coming to stay again soon!!

Route directions

The best approach is from the A528 (Ellesmere to Shrewsbury road), then following the Satnav postcode SY12 0QL or What3words (divided.wished.relatives). You should come to an old-fashioned crossroad. Go down Mill Lane. The site is just over 250 metres on the right. Follow the brown signs to SY12 0QL.

Local attractions

There's stacks to do in the surrounding area, whether you want to stick close to home by foot or pedal, or drive a bit further afield to the towns, tourist attractions and landscapes of Shropshire, Cheshire and north-east Wales – the city of Chester is 40 minutes away and Llangollen on the River Dee reachable within an hour. On the doorstep, tackle the two-mile walk along the canal towpath to Ellesmere or make your way via the purpose-built circular walk and through a wooded area of rhododendrons around the mere and nature reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest with species galore to see like otters, lapwings and water birds. The reserve also has several deep fishing pools well-stocked with catfish and big carp; more fishing – and carp – can be had nearby at Blackmere along the towpath from Colmere. Also nearby, wander into Colemere village to see the fifteenth-century thatched cottages, listed in the Domesday Book, to Ellesmere for food festivals, regattas and boat rides on the mere, or drive to Rednal Karting, Paintballing and Laser for an exciting time ten minutes away. Castles including Chirk and Whittington are a doddle to drive to too. If being on the water is your thing, a narrowboat marina is a three-minute drive away from the caravan park and both Colemere and Whitemere sailing clubs are within easy reach. By car, the standard of whitewater rafting at Bala Adventure and Watersports will have you foaming at the mouth – a milder form of the sport, along with abseiling, gorge walking, a steam railway and horse-drawn boat trips is available over the border in Wales at Llangollen.
