Chaos in control entertaining camp bongo

Adults-only pop-up site five minutes' drive from Llangollen
Castell Dinas Brân 10 minutes' drive; Pontcysyllte Aqueduct 15 minutes
Summer festival vibes with a horsebox bar, music and food trucks

Head for the hills at Camp Bongo, an adults-only pop-up site that has rather mastered the art of combining laidback luxury with a mini festival twist. Set just a five-minute drive from Llangollen, it's been designed as a playground for adults with a summer festival camping vibe. How so? There's a horsebox bar that runs throughout the season, plus an ever-changing line-up of live music, food trucks and daytime activities. Depending on when you visit, you might be able to join ‘paint and sip’ sessions, wine tasting or – for active types – activities like archery, axe throwing and climbing. Later, settle in at the social area to watch the sunset or catch some live music in one of the intimate performance spaces. There's so much going on, but don't get too wrapped up that you forget Camping Bongo's spectacular location just a couple of miles from Llangollen, popular for its canal and heritage steam railway. Other splendid activities to get stuck into locally include taking a boat ride over the 19 arches at Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (15 minutes' drive away) or hiking up to the ruins at Castell Dinas Brân (10 minutes' drive). Surrounded by North Wales countryside in the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley National Landscape, this is a green, green spot. So no wonder that Camp Bongo is keen to operate in an eco-friendly manner, with compost toilets, cold showers and freshwater standpipes.

Local attractions

Llangollen (five minutes' drive) is certainly a splendid spot to explore, with its scenic canal, steam railway and many pubs and restaurants. However, in an area like the Dee Valley, it's well worth getting out to explore as much as possible – perhaps the National Trust's Chirk Castle (20 minutes) to see the suits of armour or the Horseshoe Falls (10 minutes) for a picnic. If you're keen to give your hiking boots some action, this is a good base too. World's End (20 minutes) is considered one of those must-see hiking spots in the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley National Landscape, with its green slopes and tall cliffs. The Offa's Dyke Path is a short drive away for a long trot, too. Don't feel like you're limited to just the national landscape, though. From here, it's easy to reach Bala (45 minutes) on the edge of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park as well as Oswestry (half an hour), Ellesmere (35 minutes) and – if you really fancy seeing Britain's largest Roman amphitheatre or the Rows – Chester (50 minutes).
