  • 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.

Esther T.

Non-electric grass campervan or trailer tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Great showers, clean toilets, hot water for washing up. Tent areas are nicely mown through the long grass. Chickens are so cute! Very friendly owners and enthusiastic (and free!) Smore making enjoyed by the kids on Saturday evening.

Disliked Maybe we were just unlucky but it was very noisy. Lots of campers playing music. If you are camped near the facilities - and you have to be if you are in a van- the bar will be open and friendly- and therefore loud! Unfortunately there were kids and campers up making noise until way past midnight so we left one night early.

From the manager: You shortened your stay before you even arrived but brought an extra person, you then complained you had not received a partial refund when bringing the extra person meant you actually owed us money. Let's be honest, this was actually the real issue.
We are a no music site. Last orders at the bar is 10:30 p.m. and we expect silence by 11:00 p.m. The only noise past 11:00 p.m. was a baby crying which is beyond everybody's control. Please dont come back

Liked ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Fantastic Hosts and a Brilliant Stay!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying with Lee and Michaela, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for better hosts. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful—you can really tell they care about making sure everyone has a great experience.

Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home, and they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. They’re just genuinely fantastic people, and that made all the difference.

The facilities were excellent—clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up for campers. Everything we needed was there.

We’re already looking forward to coming back. If you’re thinking of staying here—do it. You won’t regret it!

Thank you again, Lee and Michaela!

From Rob and group!

Disliked Couldn’t stay longer!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked Loved the family feel of the place. The owners really make this place special. They are some of the hardest working people I’ve ever met and nothing is too much trouble for them. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights there and hope to be back before the camping season ends. Thank you so much for your amazing hospitality

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked Excellent location with own designated pitching area. Hot showers, well-stocked bar, charging point for phone emergencies. Loved to see the chickens roaming laying eggs. Really friendly owners who lit the fire for the children to enjoy making smores (on the house). Would definitely be looking forward to visiting again.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Liked The campsite is incredibly clean and the owners are exceptional. The site has sheep and pigs and free range chickens much to the delight of our grandchildren. I highly recommend this site to anyone with younger children who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thanks for making us feel so welcome

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked We had such a lovely night away camping and a first for the Grandkids.
We had a double pitch on the front and was a great space to chill and play.
The Grandkids loved the free roaming chickens.
On the Dat evening was a bonfire and toasting your marshmallows for S’mores. This was free and it was such a great thing to do and get other campers talking.
The bar/shop was a cracking extra also

Dorota O.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (pet friendly)

Liked This is the second time we've come to New Inn. This time the weather was very nice, with only a few drops of rain. As usual, we came with the whole family (grandpa, grandma, mom, and our two grandchildren). The children had a wonderful time because they found lots of friends. They practically spent the entire day with the other children. We also fed the animals, and this time we even managed to have a bonfire and roast marshmallows. As always, it was wonderful. Next time, we plan to stay for a week.

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.
