Large Tent - Large Electric Grass Pitches (Orange Field, Unit G wide) Pet Free Sep 2024 Our recent stay at Lower Lacon was a fantastic experience for the whole family. The pitch sizes were great, providing ample space to set up comfortably, and we were fortunate to have an orange pitch located close to the kids' park, which was super convenient. The park itself was well-maintained, offering plenty of entertainment for the children, and they especially loved visiting the animals on-site.
The entertainment and club facilities were also impressive, offering a good range of activities to keep both kids and adults entertained during the stay. We appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere, and while we enjoyed the no-dogs policy in our section, we noticed that there's plenty of space for those who want to bring along their furry companions.
The staff were another highlight of our stay. The friendly team at reception made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and they were quick to help us navigate to our pitch. We were especially grateful when they helped us out after we realised we'd forgotten our mallet! There's also a handy on-site shop stocked with essentials, which made our stay even more convenient.
All in all, Lower Lacon was a great camping site for families, and we'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly, well-equipped site with good entertainment options.
Superb site
VW-Type Campervan - Large Electric Grass Pitches (Purple Field, Unit G long) Sep 2024 Huge site with ehu, 2 pubs, cafe, toilet blocks, swimming pool, 2 kids playgrounds and a great shop that sells everything, including gas. Very friendly staff, great for kids and dogs.
There is a dog walk and small enclosure for off lead play, very overgrown that bit, so ball playing was out the question. Despite the amount of campers, it was quiet of an evening after 10pm. Dogs not allowed in pubs, but can sit outside.
Will book again for sure, there is a private dog park 13 min drive away, which can be booked online which we found on last day. My only gripe was lights in shower are on a timer and go off too soon.
Brilliant campsite
Motorhome - Small Electric Grass Pitches (Purple Field, Unit E Long) Aug 2024 Brilliant campsite. We had a 16 month old and a 5 week old and found J.A.K.K.S barn brilliant for our 16 month old. He loved it!
Short break
Large Tent - Large Electric Grass Pitches (Orange Field, Unit G wide) Pet Free Aug 2024 Had a fantastic time. Staff friendly and helpful. Shop prices reasonable. Swim session was very well organized. Lovely site and park, great for kids.
Only things that let it down was the amount of spiders in the toilet and shower block, and the pool water was a bit murky. Would definitely go again though.
Lovely site
Twin Axle Caravan - Small Electric Grass Pitches (Purple Field, Unit E Long) Aug 2024 Lovely little campsite, kept clean and tidy, bars onsite, entertainment and a good place for a stopover.
Okay
Large Tent - Large Electric Grass Pitches (Orange Field, Unit G wide) Pet Free Aug 2024 Large site with good, large pitches, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, this isn't the site for you.
The cleanliness of the toilets and showers leave a lot to be desired. The toilets for the furthest pitches are portacabins and showers are powerful, but don't seem to have been cleaned properly for quite a while. Dead insects on walls and ceiling. A timed button that you have to press every minute, making washing hair and body a constant juggle of holding toiletries and pressing the button. Although, I understand why it's on a timer, it is a pain, especially if you are trying to shower children. The whole site itself looks a bit tired and could do with a bit of a revamp.
Security are constantly patrolling in golf carts, although the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, and they do have a well stocked shop.
Although there is a pool there, you have to call a mobile to book usage, we called several times and were never answered which was disappointing. I do feel if you have to book, a better system should be implemented to avoid not being able to get use the pool.
You are directed how to pitch your tent and park your vehicle. The site is great for kids, with a decent play park and space for them to ride bikes and have a kick about.
Overall, if you have kids it's fine for a few days away, or if you're just using it for a base to visit the beautiful Shropshire area as is is quite centrally located for Shrewsbury area.
Overall, it was okay but would only visit again if we were taking our grandchildren.
Family weekend with friends
Medium Tent - Large Electric Grass Pitches (Purple Field, Unit G long) Aug 2024 Great site, lots to do for kids. Swimming golf, ball games area. Play areas for mixed ages and disco/games of a night. Well-stocked shop. Options for takeaway food. Warden's helpful. Great location for nearby pubs, Shrewsbury and days out like Bewilderwood, Alderford lake 10 minutes away with all facilities for self launch, swimming and water sports activities and hire. Our second time at the site and our friends loved it. 8 adults and 4 kids.
Nice, friendly, cheap getaway Medium Tent - Small Electric Grass Pitches (Purple Field, Unit E Long) Aug 2024 Nice campsite. All we needed for a short family break. Great pool and refreshments, the pizzas were lovely. Friendly staff and generally nice site.
The showers had a bit of a dirty feel, just needed some bleach above eye level. Toilet and sinks were immaculate. Otherwise, ok 👍
Camping in Wem
VW-Type Campervan - Fully Serviced Gravel and Grass Super Pitches (Red Area, Unit C) Aug 2024 The campsite itself was well managed and facilities were good, but we found that the toilet and shower blocks needed updating. Plenty for kids to do with the swimming pool and play area, as well as evening entertainment.
