  • Laidback site with 8.5 acres in Bryneglwys village
  • A 25-minute drive from Lake Bala and 40 minutes from Chester
  • Fresh eggs, friendly farm animals and a well-stocked outdoor bar
A chilled site in a quiet corner of Denbighshire, New Inn is a fine place to bag a relaxed rural break. With its splendid views, this popular little spot is within easy reach of attractions in and around Snowdonia, Chester and beyond. Although the former pub is permanently closed, it has a well-stocked outdoor bar called the Wobbly Dog selling draft beer and seasonal local produce. The peaceful park is also a five-minute stroll from Bryneglwys village centre, where the local stores and tea room are on hand to sort out any off-site food needs. Need to organise a bulk shop? Corwen (15 minutes' drive) is home to a bigger range of grocery shops. One of the big draws of New Inn is the number of simple pleasures to be had here, like collecting your own eggs from the site's friendly hens or watching the tame sheep frolicking through the grass. There's also ample room for setting up bonfires or barbecues and for roaming through the wilder parts of the 8.5-acre grounds. The facilities at this back to basics spot are low-key but well-maintained, with a toilet block that's got four toilets, four hot-water sinks, two showers and a washing-up sink. Phone charging is available too, to help you keep power up for your outings.

This campsite offers a welcoming atmosphere with spacious, well-maintained pitches. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful owners, the clean facilities, and the relaxed vibe. Highlights include animal feeding, communal campfires with marshmallow toasting, and an on-site bar. The site is particularly recommended for families, with plenty of space for children to play safely. Free-roaming chickens are a popular feature.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Great welcome nice energy and vibe about the site. Cool bar. Toilets and showers clean. Nice pitch. You don’t have to pay for a fire pit. The £5 fee on pitch up is for fuel. So I got an unexpected bag of hardwood. Happy days.

Disliked All good.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked We had an amazing stay bank holiday, the staff were lovely and so friendly and helpful, your aloud to have your own bbq and they have fire pits and wood to hire on site, the wood was actually cheaper than buying it in the shops! They done their own campfire in the evening for everyone, the chickens were so friendly and the pitch was so spacious, you don’t get campsites like this very often, I would highly recommend this site to anyone.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked This campsite is amazing! We have just returned from a 3 night stay Lee and Michaela went above and beyond to make everyones stay comfortable and enjoyable. Pitches were spread out and you can choose your own pitch.
The kids enjoyed feeding and getting to know the animals. The communal bonfire was a highlight with marshmallows and biscuits all provided by the host.

The shower and toilet facilities are very clean. Added extras include the bar which is very reasonable and also sells snacks and food like pot noodles and hotdogs. Charging station also free to use and handy to charge phones.
Thanks again to Lee and Michaela, we will definitely be returning!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked This place has to be one of the most welcoming camp sites ive ever stayed on. Lee and Michaela are such a genuine and nice couple. On arrival we were met by them and taken over to the field and we were able to chose where we wanted to pitch, all the pitches looked spacious and not too close together flat on the doggy field.
The facilities were just what you need showers, toilets and washing pots station. There was a in ase you forgot something area which had different bits and peices for you to borrow on your stay, which is a grest touch. There is outdoor bar that is very reasonably priced and also a communal fire pit where Lee supplied marshmallows and choccy biscuits and a drink each for the children all free of charge. He also took the children to feed the pigs, chicken and sheep which was just fabulous and they also got to choose a fruit tree and planted it! What a fabulous host.
Lee and Michaela have a personality where you want to be around them and they also manage to bring the campsite together, this is very hard to come by, as a result my girls made great friends with the children as did we with the parents.
The site is located in a secluded area where it is peaceful, 20 min drive to Llangollen.
We will deffinitely be coming back to this gem of a campsite. We wish Lee and Michaela every success you guys truly deserve it.

Liked Extremely friendly site, the owners go above and beyond to accommodate, this includes being very welcoming to families.

My daughter had the time of her life, all the kids on the site made friends. Lee took them to feed the animals, plant trees & and put on a bonfire with marshmallows for them.

Couldn’t reccomend this site more, especially if you have young children.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Really glad you had a good time. Look forward to welcoming you and L back shortly. Glad she had such a good time feeding the animals and planting trees.

Local attractions

Get gallivanting through the green grounds of Erddig Hall (30 minutes' drive), Chirk Castle (30 minutes) or Ness Botanic Gardens (50 minutes) for fab floral displays, impressive buildings and splendid outdoor strolls. They have something else in common too: top-rated cafés where you can take afternoon tea in genteel garden surrounds. Those magnificently manicured spots strike a cracking contrast with wilder haunts like the shores of Lake Bala (25 minutes), Castell Dinas Brân (25 minutes) and Horseshoe Falls (20 minutes). There's also scope for giving your walking boots and mountain bikes a run for their money at Oneplanet Adventure (10 minutes), a forest visitor centre surrounded by a host of waymarked trails. Further full-on action can be found at the National White Water Centre (30 minutes), while those of a less intrepid temperament have Chester Zoo (40 minutes) not much further away. After making friends with sloths, elephants and jaguars, saunter down into the centre for a stroll down by the Dee or a laidback riverboat cruise.
