  • 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 offers a beautiful location with lovely views and a good play area for children. Staff are generally friendly and helpful, and the on-site pub serves good food. However, many reviews highlight that the toilet and shower facilities are dated, often unclean, and insufficient for the number of guests, leading to queues. Some visitors also reported issues with noise from the nearby road or other campers, and uneven pitches.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked The area was beautiful, the toilets and showers are what you would expect for a campsite that is £30 a night. The park is perfect for the little ones.

Disliked That it does not have a noise down time. However for camping you do expect some noise from others.

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Views were beautiful.

Disliked Pitch was on a big slope so didn't sleep well at all. Twice I had to wait for females to vacate the male toilets. No signs saying male or female. No paper towels to dry your hands after using the toilets.

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.
