Lower Lacon Caravan Park started life as the back entrance of the Aston Park American Army Camp (which was a munitions and distribution depot) built in the 2nd World War, on land compulsory purchased from Clive's paternal grandfather. When they were developing the area they lost a D8 Bulldozer (it sank in the soil) so the Americans covered most of the Park with hard-core up to a depth of 3 feet, brought from local foundries, (which makes pegging in most places quite difficult) but this means we have never had to turn any customers away due to bad weather as our pitches stay hard all the time. Our hardstanding pitches were originally large Nissen huts in the Army Camp, so they are the original concrete floor bases (some are now tarmac topped) which makes them perfect for a Motorhome, American RV or Caravaners who don't like the grass.
In 1971 Clive's parents bought the ground back and decided to develop a caravan site in Shropshire. We opened in 1974 with permission for 60 Touring caravans, motorhomes & tents / camping pitches. In those days, there was 30 acres, no electric and only a small shop and one toilet block, which was smaller than it is today and we charged 66p per night. Clive, Judy and Clive's Dad continued to Market Garden, on land across the road, to fund the development of the Caravan Park. Clive, Judy and their two sons Richard and Robert now own the Caravan Park following the retirement of Clive's mother and later the death of his father.
Things have moved on a lot since those early days. We now have 57 acres of land, and accommodate caravans, tents, motor homes, seasonal pitches and static holiday homes, making Lower Lacon one of the largest caravan and camping sites in the Midlands.
We have 230 electric points, 2 toilet and shower blocks, 2 laundries, an outdoor heated swimming pool and a fully stocked shop with an off licence.
J.A.K.K.S Barn, which is a family bar holding discos & live entertainment during the summer months and the Windmill Lounge Bar a adult only bar with a marquee for the children, also has live entertainment throughout the season.
For the children we have two play areas one by the Orange Area & Top Field Area and the other play area by Family Area & Tent Field. Also for young at heart we have a crazy golf course. Finally, why don’t you come and meet our wide variety of animals, such as our Alpacas, Sheep, Kune Kune Pigs, Ducks, Chickens, Plus lots of Wild Life.
Spacious 57 acre site in the heart of the North Shropshire countryside.

All reviews featured on Campstead.com have been submitted by genuine customers who have stayed at the park.
Reception staff have been very helpful and informative on both occasions that we have stayed here. The cafe staff and food were excellent . The only negative was the entertainment was a little lacking both times we visited the bar.
Excellent accommodation which was spotlessly clean
We stayed in a pet freindly static which was lovely,everything was satisfactory
We have been here a few times now and find all the staff extremely friendly, professional and helpful.The pitches are very large to accommodate all your needs.The on site ships sells all the necessary items for your holiday, but there is also a coop in the local village.There is good entertainment in the seasonal months, but it is in my opinion they could do alot more, and offer more activities. But overall a great local camping site for all the family.
I was always taught if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all
Takeaway should be open a bit more, maybe do an opening in the morning till dinner, then back open for tea, even on sunday
Wasn’t sure what to expect as had seen couple of bad reviews but we all really enjoyed it there! Pool was still open so Grandkids loved that plus they enjoyed family bar to play pool in and drinks .Although toilet blocks are dated and need updating they were spotless. All staff were accommodating and friendly so we had a great time. Thank you to all staff.We would only go back with Grandkids again once pool is open again and bar as well.
The site is large and has various amenities such as shop cafe and jacks barn which are very handy. Swimming pool looks nice but was fully booked when we stayed. Mini golf could do with some work being done on it. The biggest negative is the showers and the toilet block . They are dirty. And extremely dated. The showers do not appear to have been cleaned for some time. This would be so much nicer if they had some investment.
Well this was a pleasant surprise, I stayed here with my son and a few other families from his footy team. We had a right laugh and really enjoyed ourselves even with the heavy downpours we encountered. The only downside was the wasps they were unbearable and quite a few people got stung more than once. Everyone we spoke to was unhappy with the amount there was
Great for familiesEasy walk of bike ride into Wem
