Located just one mile from the charming market town of Wem, North Shropshire, Lower Lacon Caravan Park has been providing excellent family holidays since 1974. This 57 acre site boasts a strategic position from which visitors have easy access to various local attractions, thanks to excellent train and bus services. The historic towns of Shrewsbury, Ellesmere, and Whitchurch, all within a ten-mile radius, add cultural and historical richness to the camping experience.
One of the standout features of Lower Lacon Caravan Park is its year-round availability, welcoming visitors throughout every season. The park's longevity since 1974 underscores its reputation for providing memorable family getaways. As one of the largest caravan and camping sites in the Midlands, Lower Lacon Caravan Park caters to a diverse range of accommodations, including caravans, tents, motorhomes, seasonal pitches, and static holiday homes.
The park boasts 230 electric points, ensuring that modern amenities are readily available to enhance the camping experience.

The J.A.K.K.S Barn, a family-oriented bar, hosts discos and live entertainment during the summer months, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. For adult visitors, the Windmill Lounge Bar offers a more relaxed experience, featuring live entertainment throughout the season. The Lounge Bar includes a marquee, providing a space for children to have their own fun while adults unwind.
Families with children will find Lower Lacon Caravan Park especially appealing, as it offers two play areas—one situated by the Orange Area and Top Field, and another near the Family Area and Tent Field. Additionally, a crazy golf course adds a touch of excitement for the young and the young at heart. The park also introduces visitors to a variety of animals, including alpacas, Sheep, kune kune pigs, ducks, chickens, and an array of wildlife, creating a unique and immersive experience with nature.
An entry barrier system adds an extra layer of security, and the park operates with a 24-hour emergency cover. Resident warden/owners are on-site, contributing to the sense of community and providing assistance when needed.

Helpful staff accommodating when requested to help knowledgeable and useful info always available
We had a great stay at lower lacon. From the staff check-in to the wardens who escort you to your pitch were so friendly. The facilities and entertainment areas were spot on. Had great fun with the bar staff in the clubs. Toilets and showers were nice and clean and security is second to none. Only bad comment l can make is the hand drier in the gents toilets second block does not work. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely amazing stay. The staff strive to make lower lacon wotk and it does for me. Friendly regulars, staff, owners, new visitors make the magic of the site work too. The reinvestment on the site over the years is fantastic too. Even down to putting on extra showers in the main season.... Not many sites would do that. The kids play areas, spare ground for footie, roads for supervised kids on scooters and bikes, outdoor pool, crazy golf, family club with entertainmentand animals... Just all you need.!!!
The staff was very helpful and friendly, nice clean toilets. Little shop was stocked well.
Ideal site in the winter. Not far to bus stop to get out and about. Good facilities. Clean toilet and shower block. pleasant and helpful staff.
