  • 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

A tranquil adults-only escape, with neat pitches, lovely lake views, and friendly hosts. Clean facilities and a great communal area are highlights. Enjoy walks, though access lanes can be tight and Wi-Fi is spotty. Highly recommended for a peaceful break.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Great price for an electric hook up, clean toilet/shower facilities, cosy spacious and characterful communal area, beautiful site altogether, fantastic location within walking distance of town and lovely walks including one around a Mere (similar to a lake), and very friendly and helpful owners.

Disliked Free Wi-Fi available but coverage not great. However, it was refreshing to switch off from the online world and immerse yourself into nature.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind comments .

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Nice welcome, lovely location

Disliked Be aware some pitches are on quite a slope

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks Karen for booking with us !

In response to your review left we would like to apologise that we missed your arrival as you knew we would be away during your stay with us.

We have many acres of camping and st least 23 flat pitches . There were only four bookings on site during your stay and in general guests can pick their own pitch. There was a family member in place here during the day to help with any queries or problems,

Kind regards

Non-electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Lovely location. Toilet/Shower block was clean and adequate for our needs. We liked the fact that the pitches were spaced out over several fields. It was very quiet. We had a few walks round the lake and along the adjacent canal towpath. The site owners were very nice too.

Disliked Nothing.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Honestly this site has everything. The owners have thought of it all, whilst caring for the environment at the same time . It's a peaceful haven for wildlife and humans. I felt safe as a solo woman . I personally loved the little 'dressing tables' in the ladies loos . The communal area was so cosy and well thought out too. Everywhere was spotlessly cleaned and well maintained. Plenty of walks and things to do nearby but you feel like you're away from everything too. I met family members who stayed in a yurt and it was gorgeous . Can't recommend this place enough . Loads of wild rabbits . Dogs need very short leads as they're brave loved and cherished bunnies .

Disliked Nothing to dislike

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.
