Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesMay 2026

We have just returned from an absolutely wonderful bank holiday weekend at Willenhall Way, and we are already looking forward to booking our next trip! If you are looking for a place that is incredibly calm and peaceful, this is exactly where you need to be. It has such a lovely, laid-back vibe that makes it the perfect escape. It was also great for our girls (ages 3 and 5) who loved exploring, getting back to nature, and just being kids in a safe, beautiful environment. It kept them entertained for hours as they had plenty of swings etc too. A big shoutout to the owners who are hands-down amazing! So welcoming, incredibly friendly, and attentive to making sure everyone has a brilliant stay. We honestly loved every single minute of our stay. Thank you, Willenhall Way, for making our bank holiday weekend so special. We will definitely be back!

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent PitchesMay 2026

We had a beautiful stay for 2 nights. Lyn made us feel like family and went above and beyond expectations to make us feel at home. The facilities are brilliant! If you are the other side of the camp, it does feel like a walk but expected at a campsite. The pitches are spaced generously too so no one is too close. Fantastic value for money and feel fresh after a weekend there. The location was great, we were a short drive from the town centre. The sun pub is a pleasurable 20 minute walk and is a lovely place that the campsite recommended. Thank you! We will be back x

Thankyou so much for your great review and positive comments. Really happy that your recent stay was an enjoyable one. Yes the other side of the field is further away from the play park / toilet block ,but is actually very popular and a lot choose it over the near end so everyone is different? Great shout out for our ‘local’ and also very popular alongside Ellesmere of course Many thanks again , Lin and Rog

A fantastic little gem

A note from the site themselves...

When Rog and Lin created Willenhall Way, as seasonal caravanners themselves, they knew above anything else, they wanted much more space and privacy between pitches. All the pitches are exceptionally spacious.

The park has been built as a legacy to their wonderful Willenhall herd of dairy cows, who used to all spend their younger days, chilling and relaxing on the two fields that make up the park.

They have ploughed in so much passion, to create a total escape from it all park.

Willenhall Way is ideal for...

Couples

Peace and quiet

Rallies

Young children

Things to do on site and in the Welshampton area

Give the water a go and try your hand at paddleboarding, wild swimming or the inflatable water course at Alderford Lake, just an easy ten minute drive away. Alternatively, take to the trees at BeWILDerwood Cheshire (20 minutes) and swing between rope courses and slides.

Visit the stunning National Trust Erddig estate 30 minutes away just outside of Wrexham. With an incredible country house and idyllic gardens, this is a lovely day out.
