Quiet until the kids arrived

This site is just lovely. The facilities are clean, although they could do with a few more showers as they were very busy every morning. The wardens are very helpful and friendly and the site offers open and shaded pitches. There is a lot to do in the area and we stayed three nights and didn't move the van. The only problem with the site is rabbits, lots of them, and our dog likes chasing rabbits so had to be kept on a lead even when sat outside the van. Chirk castle is a lovely walk of about a mile and a half through the grounds which are on the edge of the site. We also cycled to Llangollen along the canal path. It was very quiet until Friday evening and kids arrived and they could be heard across the site. There is also noise from a nearby factory which goes on through the night, but it stopped bothering us after the first night. Great site, lovely location so we will be back.

Another 'will defo come again' site!!

We cannot fault this site at all. It was our 1st visit after recommendation from a fellow caravanner over 12 mths ago. We were very lucky to be pitched in the open area near to the reception and having walked around the site several times have decided our choice was a good one. The site for those that may have visited others is a mix between Park Coppice, Coniston in the Lake District and Wharfdale nr Grassington, Yorkshire. There are a couple of tree lined inlets, shaded, quite dark infact at this time of year, there are also open pitches both grass and hardstanding of very ample sizing. I agree with some reviews that the facilities needing updating but read a horrendous comment slating of the wardens in the visitor book on site which i found to be rude and incorrect in it's statement. The loo's / showers were very clean, dated but extremely clean and if they do get dirty, I lay the blame at the feet of the patrons that use them and the wardens cannot control the personal hygiene issues of those people. For the dog walkers and ramblers, loads of off site walks. There are also lots of places of historical interest locally and of course the many canal walks and aquaducts. We will be back, it was nice to be amongst friendly faces, always a good morning from other people and the wardens were informative, polite and friendly. Word of warning, if you own a dog with the 'chase' instinct, 'on lead' is definately best owing to the vast amount of rabbits and squirrels about which were of course lovely to watch.

TIRED SITE

VISTED THIS SITE SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 19 YEARS ,OVERALL THE SITE IS GENERALY GOOD BUT IS LET DOWN VERY BADLY BY EXTREAMLY TIRED TOILET BLOCK WHICH WAS CLOSED 50%OF THE TIME ON OUR RECENT VISIT. I FEEL THAT WE HAD BEEN SHORT CHANGED.CONSIDERING THAT THE SITE OPERATES ALL THROUGH THE YEAR AND THE SIZE IT WOULD PROVE BENIFICIAL TO ALL TO HAVE TWO TOILET BLOCKS SO IN THE EVENT OF HAVING TO CLOSE ONE THERE WOULD BE ANOTHER ONE AVAILABLE.HOWEVER THE SITE IS WORTH A VISIT.

Bin men and baked potatoes!

Just returned from lady Margaret s park. We had a great time despite the weather being a bit mixed. This looks like for us being a regular fixture in our annual calender. But each time we visit we learn little things that make our stay better. These are, not to pitch on the upper Dell because the factory noise, hardly noticeable in the main park. Check tv signal with a meter cos some pitches will give BBC or ITV. But not both. Pitches in the middle better. Fri and sat was baked potato night this week and is recommended. On our Monday morn departure we came face to face with a bin lorry on the road leading to the high st.?? our standard width elddis just made it. ?? so there you go! . Enjoy.

Great site in a great location

I had tried to stop overnight here while travelling south, but the site was full, so I felt lucky to get a pitch on my return journey. I was very impressed with the site: although it is large, the layout is such that the wooded areas have quite a peaceful atmosphere. Facilities were good, and very clean - up to the usual standard. The road in is a bit pot-holed, but I didn't find this a problem in a campervan. Other reviewers have complained about the noise from the factory: I noticed it when I was out in the evening, but it seemed far less loud on the opposite (south) side of the park; I didn't notice any noise overnight, and there was none in the morning. The location is great - I was able to cycle along the canal to Pontcysyllte, and into Chirk. Chirk centre is about a mile away, and has a selection of shops, and a choice of places to eat and drink. Chirk Castle (or the estate, to be accurate!) is right beside the site and offers lots of things to see and do. I thought this was a great site, and I hope to return before very long.

Not impressed

Stayed at this site for the first time, what a disappointment !! As mentioned in other reviews the road leading up to the site is a disgrace, it carn't be doing anyone's caravans any good. Although it is a part wooded site, we found the pitches untidy and scruffy looking. Chester is closed for a refurb, but the money would have been better spent here, apart from this the wardens were friendly, as are 99% of them.

We will return

A very enjoyable stay at this well located site. Yes the facilities are dated and yes there is some background noise from the nearby factory but neither of these really impacted on our stay. Lots to do in the area, we especially enjoyed cycling along the towpath to Llangollen and beyond. Couldn't really understand why grass pitches were not in use particularly as April has been very dry and given that site was full for much of our stay the CC must have lost some income, which could have been spent on repairing the access road. Come on CC there really is no excuse for such a potholed access.

overall a great site

Visited here late April 2015, and, on the whole, we think it is a great site in a wonderful location. However. The toilet block is very dated and, whilst generally clean, it is not up to the club's standards at all. As far as I can see the road is fine and is not something to get excited about, but the showers being only a dribble, that is. We like the area so much, we would go back, but would enjoy it so much more if the facilities were up to date.

Worthy of a longer stay

Our stay here was the weekend after Easter on route to North Wales. Despite being very busy, the site, due to it's layout, did not give the appearance of being full. Facilities were up to the normal CC standard, even if a bit dated, like ourselves. Much has been made of the state of the road but it's no worse than the series of road humps that greet you at some sites and is fine if taken at a slow speed. After arrival we had a short walk over the aqueduct, back into England and then into Chirk via the canal tunnel. A torch is advisable as it's fairly long and there are no lights. The butchers in Chirk sells excellent bara brith. The next day we walked to Chirk Castle (National Trust). Well worth a visit and a reasonably easy 3 to 4 mile circular walk from the site. But make sure you get your tickets before you walk up to the castle, otherwise you will have to do it twice, as we did. Looking at the map several other good walks are available from the site but alas no time. We will have to visit again.

A tired Site

My family and I have been going to this site for 6 years. But this time and the previous time very disappointed by. 1 Main road up to site is like a road from a war film. 2 Only one toilet block open. 3 Main toilet block very dated and dirty, light fitting full of dirt and flies roof fans full of fluff. 4 Shower heads a waste of time not sure if I even got wet. I get it its to save water but all I did was stay in longer. 5 Children,s play area is very poor also it is on a mud surface, so then go into toilet blocks making floors dirty and our awning. One positive site wardens are great. Come on caravan club you are letting members and wardens down.
