Quick break this weekend and after reading some of the reviews on here was unsure what to expect. I needn't have worried as all was well and we had a fantastic relaxing break. Yes the facilities are a little dated but still perfectly adequate, if there had been an issue I would have used our own facilities in the van. No TV hook up point on the bollards but again a weekend without TV suited us. I am sure the site will get updated in time but until then don't let the negative reviews put you off, go and enjoy a peaceful site in a great location.
PS well done CC for including Motorhomes in the rebranding.
Excellent site with Friendly Hardworking Wardens
Yes, the toilet blocks do need an upgrade but I understand from the wardens this is on the agenda for 2019. Earlier problems with showers was caused by a bad plumber and this has been resolved and although water pressure is little low it is more than adequate. However we have visited other more up to date sites where the grass is too long and rubbish bins have been overflowing so it was so good to be on a site where the grass is neat and tidy and the rubbish bin area clean. Definitely the best kept site we have visited so far this year. A small problem was handled immediately by the very friendly wardens. Lots of lovely walks in the area especially along the canal.
Lack of invesment spoils a good site
This site is a great site in a lovely setting but its a long time since any money has been spent on the shower blocks showers with little water that dont switch off toilets that dont flush etc. Otherwise the site is clean and tidy and in a great location .
A few thousand pounds could sort everything. ...perhaps if the club is short of money it should not have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on basically adding "motorhome" to its title.

Could be so much better
Despite the occasional intrusive hum from the nearby factory this is a pleasant site with a variety of pitching styles, from open areas to wooded glades. It is such a shame therefore that the overall impression is soured by the 1980's style of the single facilities block. We read that one site and another site has had a makeover but in this case the march of progress has passed it by. Despite constant mention in earlier reviews it is clear that nothing has been done to rectify the low shower pressure or the shower units themselves which are past their use-by date. And why oh why does the club (whatever it's called) not realise that narrow cubicles with plastic stools give the wrong impression from the outset.
Having said all that the site staff were exemplary. But why should they constantly have to put up with valid complaints regarding the facilities?
Perhaps each site description should give a facilities rating from 1 to 5. At the moment this site can only just manage a '1'. How sad that the club can't turn the clock back and allocate the tens (hundreds?) of thousands which have been spent on the pointless name change and all that went with it to improving essential facilities.
Investment
Really nice stay at the sight in early April, however it really feels like it needs some investment. In the club site book it indicates that there are play facilities for children, sadly this is not the case which is a little annoying when you have children! Also the main topic of conversation on the site was the poor performance of the showers, the water pressure was unpredictable to say the least with people swapping cubicles mid shower to find one that worked. Such a shame as this site has so much to offer. Come on Caravan Club or whatever you're now called, sort this out its such a shame.
Needs Some Money Spent And Not On Pointless New Rebranding!
I have always liked Chirk and Lady Margaret's Park.
After not visiting for a couple of years it is clear that it is a now overdue an upgrade or some refurbishment, especially in respect of the somewhat dated toilet and washing facilities. When this is obvious, then money spent on a pointless and (dare I say?), ugly rebranding, just looks like an even worse waste of money than it obviously is!
I needed to move from upper wooded Dell area to the lower pitches to be able to get the WiFi access I had paid for. I was very annoyed that I needed to move the next day as this is definitely a faff in a caravan.
I was surprised that for all of the week I was at Lady Margaret's Park, a drinking water tap was hanging off my nearest water /disposal point. This seemed to point to the fact that maintenance is not all it could be here sadly.
Gripes aside it is a site in a lovely location. I love Chirk as it is a quaint, friendly little town. The Hand Hotel is a bit of a gem too. We enjoyed a very nice Sunday lunch there.
The nearby railway station is a great facility with hourly trains to Shrewsbury and Chester and beyond.
We enjoyed our stay and were lucky with the weather. The site is starting to look a little bit tired though.

Great site with a few issues!
This site is located in a fantastic position for those that enjoy the great outdoors, there is loads of walking and cycling routes from the site as well as Chirk castle that is well worth a visit, Llangollen with its canal and steam train are a must, perhaps not a site for families with young children as there are no big tourist attractions and only a very small play area. We pitched in the wooded area at the top of the site and I personally found the 24 hour humming of the nearby factory quite intrusive, especially in the early hour of the morning, I feel the lower part of the site would be alot quieter. The toilet and shower block were kept very clean by the wardens but they are in desperate need of an update, during our stay we had no hot water at times, dripping showers and taps were the norm, this wouldn't take much to sort out. All in all we had a great stay in this lovely area.
Good visit
Other than being greeted by a grumpy warden asking to move my MoHo I really enjoyed the location, facilities and numerous walks straight from site.
Gentleman warden pleasant, knowledgeable etc.
Despite all the reviews ref showers/facilities I found it all in good order, spotlessly clean, hot water and plenty of pressure. Yes, they could do with a facelift but no way deters from the purpose. I have showered in a lot worse.
Definitely go back to explore the area.
