  • 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

This adults-only spot offers chilled stays by Colemere lake. Folks loved the helpful owners, spotless loos, and great shared space. Scenic walks are a big win. Some reckon pitches slope a bit, and loos get cosy when busy. Top spot for a chilled escape.

 Chris R. 3 reviews

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked This was a gem of a site as far as we were concerned. Beautiful landscaped pitches, wildlife all around, and a beautiful lake walk some 20 meters from our pitch. Everything was quirky and beautifully put together. Thought the communal hub was a great idea and would be great if it was raining or you didn’t feel like just staying in your camper. Weather was good when we visited which is always good but will definitely book again to experience all seasons.

Disliked Nothing

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Adults only, good vibes and enjoyed the musician that came in the Saturday night.

Disliked A little uneven in places but can’t really be helped due to the lay of the land. Need to be there early to get the flat pitches

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The bathrooms were clean, and the bar was really cosy (when you could get in there). The walks from site are lovely, and the lady selling local honey on Saturday afternoon was a lovely touch.
There are plenty of bins all across the site which is great.

Disliked The check-in experience wasn't great: the owners are quite brash - one of my friends was even told off because she arrived 5 minutes before the end of check in times.
The owners spent the evening that we had arrived with regulars in the bar area - it felt like you were interrupting when going in to heat food; wasn't welcoming unfortunately.
There are few flat pitches, and the ground is incredibly rocky (all of my metal pegs are bent - only rock pegs worked)
There's no toilet or water facilities etc in the fields where you can pitch if you didn't book electric. It's about a 7/8 minute, quite steep walk to get to them, which is tricky when it's hot.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a fabulous campsite. Being in Nature. The Toilet and showers always an important part of camping. The communal area was very nice the dog absolutely loved it. Loved all the Bunnies. The lights at night were just gorgeous. The peace and quiet was 10 out of 10 . If you love nature peace and quiet then this is for you. Can't wait to book again with my new Tent . Xxx

From the manager: Thank you Denise for taking the time to leave us a review and share your thoughts , and we hope to welcome you back again in the future .

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.
