We were warmly welcomed by a warden who advised us which pitches were available and which got the sunshine and when which was helpful. The site is large and has a lot of open space and it was nice that it was not so regimented as some sites. You really did feel surrounded by nature, Our stay was also very peaceful. There are two factories in Chirk but you can barely hear any noise - it is very minimal and did not affect our enjoyment at all. There were some children enjoying time on their bikes and scooters around the site but it is the August school holidays so it is to be expected really. The facilities were clean and we did not have to queue at all. Yes they do need a refurbishment but we understand this is in hand. Chirk itself is small but with a Spar and Co-op plus some takeaways it has everything you might need. We enjoyed walking along the Llangollen canal over Chirk Aqueduct towards Ellesmere, walking in the Ceiriog Valley, cycling along the towpath to Llangollen across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and visiting the adjacent Chirk Castle and its estate. All in all we had a great time!
