What a beautiful site, beautiful location and peaceful.
The weather was awful whilst we were there but it didn't stop it being a relaxing weekend. The facilities are excellent, with the newly refurbished toilet / shower block. The site was tidy, clean and well maintained. Pitches were great, spacious and having a serviced pitch was so easy.
If like us you happen to be staying when it's raining (heavily), I would advise, if possible to not set up under the trees as it gets quite noisy when the storms come but overall it was amazing and we'll definitely be making a return visit.
When we did venture out, the views and walks around the park are wonderful, with the aqueduct having amazing views across the forest.
Albeit we didn't have children with us, there seemed to be plenty for them to do, in terms of the playground and places to cycle.
Excellent upgrade
We do agree with other members about the bins being located at the toilet block, other than that the site is lovely. Does lack the personal touch in the office, and not even able to buy an ice cream !! Other members cutting across pitches to use the facilities instead of walking on the paths is quite annoying, and I personally find it rude, new dog walk is an improvement, unfortunately our dog was attacked by another ( both on leads ) , which cost us nearly £100 at the vets, who was extremely helpful. I wish I had reported this officially, as she has at 15 years old been knocked for six !! but this is no reflection on the site. All in all we would love to return again.

Fantastic refurb!
We visited this site many years ago when it was very tired and in need of an update. We decided to return with our son and granddaughter now that it has been reopened; what a change, what a makeover! The new automatic entry recognition is a brilliant addition, so no more key cards to remember. Easy and swift entry. The pitches are spacious, level and very pretty. The gravelling is excellent and well maintained. Now the toilet block: amazingly spotless; extremely well appointed; plentiful hot showers; wallpaper scenes of the park line the walls. Great children's play area and a good circuit for children to zoom round on their bikes. That said, the site was extremely quiet. In recent years we've tended to stay on CLs, but we would return here happily. The surrounding area offers many activities including Chirk Castle, walking and cycling. We enjoyed a cycle along the canal towpath over the aqueduct towards Oswestry. The village of Chirk is very pleasant and we enjoyed a curry in the Castle Tandoori. The wardens were helpful and friendly. Finally, I personally had no problems with the bins being located in one area. If you take your rubbish when going to the block or when going out for the day you should be fine.
recent stay
Spotless, peaceful site and fabulous facilities block. Used the new recognition entrance and it was smooth. perhaps a few more bins in the ladies would be good. One thing was the info on public transport was poor. No taxis available on Mondays from LLangollen, However you can catch a number 64 little bus the last one leaves 530 ish from Llangollen . It runs every 2 hours. Wasnt clear how you caught it from camp site. Luckily we avoided the 9.5 mile walk back along the tow path . Very screnic walk across viaduct just didnt want to do 18 miles in one day. Please make the info more available to campers.
Grass pitch?
We ignored the trial fast check-in option at this site, choosing instead to do things the old-fashioned way, getting a smile from a real human being at reception. We'd booked all our caravan holidays for this year back around Christmas last year so when told we had booked a grass pitch I could do no more than agree, with a shrug of my shoulders. This site has a major revamp last year and the majority of the pitches are hard standing. Indeed only eleven grass pitches are shown on the plan. However, the "grass" had suffered from the very dry weather, leaving about 50% of weedy green stuff, 50% bare soil, and some of these pitches had been withdrawn from use completely. In short, we were given a choice of two pitches, both with a good covering of rabbit poo and the occasional ankle breaker rabbit holes! If you book "grass" you expect grass and no, it wasn't remotely level either.
On a more positive note, the new toilet and shower was the best we've ever experienced. At last somebody has managed to include a simple bench seat and screen, out of the range of the shower spray, with ample hooks to hang ones clothes. Why has it taken so long?
Good, but could be even better with some tweaks.

A few tiny tweaks would make it perfect
Fast check-in was brilliant, no need to get out of the car. Shower block was spotless and clean. Only negatives were that there is only one main rubbish area near the toilets, bit of a pain walking there with your rubbish when the service points are so close. Also, for the price you pay per night you'd expect aerial booster/plug ins for the TV. Couple of downpours whilst we were there and we were unable to get a decent signal, even though we have a booster in our van. When I asked at reception he acknowledged the signal was rubbish! Walks to the aqueducts are easy to access, just by the railway bridge - lovely flat walks by the canal. In Chirk, Star Chippy and Asian Wok Chinese were both delicious.

Nice site , nice area for walks , excellent facilities, but
Need more bins ,bit of a trek with rubbish at night in the dark from the pitches furthest away from the toilet block , where all the bins are now kept .
Great holiday
We have just returned from Lady Margarets Park had a fantastic stay the wardens and lovely the site is well looked after. The refurb is brilliant the facilities are spot on we are only just over hour away so use quite alot. Only downfall this time was the pizza van didnt show up. Was looking forward to it.

Very nice brief stay
Positives - very nice tidy side, great walk to Chirk Castle and easy walk to village. All facilities very new-looking and spotless. First time using the Fast check-in which worked well.
We hope to visit again some time.
Peaceful
Our first time out with a motorhome and first time on a CAMC site. Very clean and very quiet stay, no issues at all.
The toilet/shower block, as well as the dishwashing area, was pretty much immaculate although you can't escape the fact some people just don't care what state they leave a facility in. As it was a trip to test our motorhome out we were pretty close to home so the local attractions are familiar but I do like the area very much. Chirk is pretty small but some shops so all essentials available; a couple of pubs too.
