  • Five-acre family-friendly site overlooking the vale of Llangollen
  • Five-minute drive to Llangollen town and 40 to Snowdonia National Park
  • Restaurant, bar and playground on site
Seeking a scenic setting close to the countryside for dawdles around Denbighshire…? Then set your sights on a stay at Abbey Grange Campsite, on a five-acre site in front of The Abbey Grange Hotel and overlooking the pretty Vale of Llangollen. Surrounded by fields and mountains, this park is half a mile from the well-known Horseshoe Pass and is a convenient base for exploring the immediate hilly surrounds or taking on treks in Snowdonia National Park (a 40-minute drive). Chances to climb, cycle, mountain bike, fish and golf are also around the local area – just ask on site for the lowdown. At the park, charging facilities are on hand for ensuring your GPS has enough batteries for when you’re out and about exploring the region, whether shopping in Llangollen, five minutes’ drive away, for food to bring back and grill up on the barbecue or ambling to the Cistercian Valley Crucis Abbey (less than a 10-minute walk). On your homecoming from hikes or other similarly energetic activities, hotel facilities such as the restaurant and bar are accessible for cosying up with a pint or a meal, and there's an outdoor play area to keep the kids busy. The site has male and female shower and toilet amenities, plus chemical disposal facilities.

What customers say

This campsite boasts a stunning location with beautiful views and offers a friendly atmosphere. Facilities, particularly the toilets and showers, are frequently described as dated and in need of an update, with some guests experiencing issues with cleanliness and water pressure. While the on-site pub and park for children are appreciated, noise from the nearby road and occasional disturbances from other campers are noted. Some visitors found the site to be overpriced for the facilities provided.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Found a relatively flat pitch.
Pub looked ok, and the pub's outdoor setaing areas were done quite nice.

Disliked Shower and toilet facilities were very messy. Being so close to the road leading to the horseshoe pass wasn't great, basically every boy racer and his dog were flying up and down the road all hours of the night.
On check in, I wasn't told where the showers or bins were, but found them driving into the site. Think they could maybe capitalise on the pub side a bit more, food offer for campers. Breakfast option possibly. Appreciate campers tend to cook their own food, but I'm sure they would have some takers.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Spacious fields, no problem checking in. Pub on site served food.

Disliked Had read a few reviews about facilities and the toilets/showers. They weren’t the most luxurious but weee kept clean. Maybe a few more needed? The pub was a bit expensive.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked The setting was really nice surrounded by mountains and not too far from llangollen.

Disliked The elctric tent pitches in field 1 were all under trees so no sunshine most of the day and after rain it just constantly dripped all over tent and us outside. Also i dont think any pitch had level ground.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The campsite was spacious and the park was good. Location was good there waa a nice village nearby. The campsite across the road abbey farm was much nicer which we kept going over to.

Disliked The staff very rude. We came to check in at 12:10 and a miserable woman opened the door. Then we tried to open the door inside to go and check in which she then started shouting just give me a minute. When she opened the door and checked us in i said my name and she said yes but what have you booked. Customer service skills was very innapropiate. Then to top it off we had a pint of cruzcampo served in a fosters glass when they didnt even serve fosters which just ruined the overpriced pint.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Nice site with basic amenities, fair pitch size and the owners were fantastic. Couldn't fault them.

Disliked Ground is uneven and they needed better signage to point out the washing up area, drinking water and waste disposal. We only found the drinking water the day we left as we were buying big bottles from the shop
