  • 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.

Praised for peaceful vibes, roomy pitches & clean facilities. Stunning lakeside setting with walks & wildlife. Friendly owners & great communal area. A few noted tricky access lanes & patchy WiFi. Highly recommended for a chill escape.

Electric grass campervan pitch

Liked Lovely setting and views, good location. Lots of walking trails and plenty of nature to see, in and around the campsite. Nice communal area with sofas and TV.

Disliked Pitches aren't very well kept, or flat! Several tough roots coming through, which pierced our groundsheet and lots of small stones around, which we had to clear before we could set up.Wouldn't need too much work to clear and level the designated areas properly, for a perfect pitch.

Information given on arrival was mostly about the walks around the campsite, virtually no information given about the campsite itself or its amenities.
Hot tub hire was available at a cost of £50/session! -which is quite extortionate.

There was a petrol/diesel generator switched on each day from quite early to around 6PM which was quite audible and annoying from our pitch, although appreciate that pitches further away probably couldn't hear it.

Showers and toilets very clean, however a single towel provided in each toilet block for everyone to use is not the most hygienic way to dry hands these days! (even though they were changed daily.)

Wifi very temperamental.

The campsite is adults only, so no loud/screaming kids which is great (we've done our time with family campsites and now deserve quieter adult time!😀) However, dogs are allowed (which is also great) but unfortunately there were a couple of really 'yappy' dogs when we stayed and their owners didn't seem too bothered if the other camper's peace and quiet was spoilt by their lack of control/care of their animals.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Very peaceful park. Pitches well spaced out. Beautiful natural environment. Butterflies everywhere. From the fabulous lily pond on site to the Mere just a few minutes walk away the whole stay was perfect for me. Facilities were great. Including a social space for guests to use. Kitted out with a kitchen. Fridge freezers. Microwave, kettle etc. A sofa and tables and seating to eat your meals there if you wish. The owners very nice and really helpful. All together a very enjoyable stay.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Beautiful site. Superbly run by the friendly and helpful Dave and Ingrid. The unique summerhouse/ hub with TV music if u like,cooking facilities etc is an excellent addition that sets this site above others. Canal walk into Ellesmere or a stroll around the mere are lovely. Definitely one of our favourite sites.

Disliked Nothing to dislike.

 Ren F. 1 review

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The lovely peaceful site, with spacipus plots, greenery, privacy. Loved the Mess room, a great little social building with kitchen, sofa's, TV and large farmhouse tables. BYO food and drinks, great when weather a bit rubbish.

Disliked Shower facilities could do with an upgrade. A decent sink for shaving etc in its own cubicle instead of next to the entrance door. £50 for hot tub for 4hrs. Would like 1-2hr prices. Wifi poor unless in the Mess rokm

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Great to meet you both!

Our toilet and shower facilities are free, clean and functional.

Our hot tub prices are competitive with cost of filling and cleaning tub is taken into the equation.

Kind regards

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.
