Brief History of Lower Lacon Caravan Park Shropshire
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 hardcore up to a depth of 3 feet, brought from local foundries, (which makes pegging in most places quite difficult). 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 Tourers. 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 and Judy now own the Caravan Park following the retirement of his mother and later the death of his father.
Things have moved on a lot since those early days. We now have 47 acres of land, and accommodate caravans, tents, motor caravans and static holiday homes, making Lower Lacon one of the largest caravan sites, camping sites in the midlands.
We have 210 electric points, 2 Toilet and shower blocks, 2 laundries and a fully stocked shop with an off licence. On site we also have an outdoor heated swimming pool, an adult only Club with a marquee for the children where we have live entertainment throughout the season.
New for 2007, J.A.K.K.S Barn, which is a family bar holding discos & live entertainment during the summer months. Also for the children (or young at heart) we have a crazy golf course & a play area. Finally, why don’t you come and meet our wide variety of animals, such as our Alpacas, Sheep, Kune Kune Pigs, Ducks, Chickens, Aviary Birds & our Shetland Pony, Plus lots of Wild Life.
