Overview of the site with views in the background

  • Peaceful farm site with stunning views of the Clwydian Range
  • A 20-minute drive from Moel Famau; just under an hour from the coast
  • Well-equipped shared kitchen, plus firepits and chimineas to hire
Peaceful? Scenic? Very much so. This Denbighshire site is a place to settle down at for both, with added views out over the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape. The vibe is decidedly rural at Clwydian Holidays, a relaxed and spacious site 15 minutes’ drive from Ruthin – as you might expect from a site on a family-run working farm. Days can be easily filled with walks, mountain bike outings, watersports, fishing and other such outdoorsy antics, while evenings on site are a prime time to light up a barbecue or cuddle up by a firepit or chiminea (both available to hire on site) while aiming your gaze up at the starry skies (fingers crossed for cloudless nights…). At times when it’s not barbecue weather (it’s Wales, it can happen…), retreat to the custom-built kitchen, which has been kitted out with an oven, hob, fridge, toaster and kettle, plus a dining table for indoor eats. Also on site are plenty of open space for kids to run about and play games, plus a toilet block with three showers and a wash basin area.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked We had a wonderful stay at Clwydian, Ray greeted us on arrival and was very welcoming and good humoured when my dog grabbed one of his chickens, thankfully the chicken was unharmed. 

We planned to camp but I when Ray showed us around he said that one of the pods was free and we could stay in it for two nights and pay the extra. 

This was great for us as we were travelling around different locations and not having to set up camp was a relief. 

The pod was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. On site there is also a shared kitchen, shower room, toilets and a community space. We absolutely loved it. I wished all campsite were like this! 

Ray was so friendly and helpful, the site was quiet and on the second night we were the only ones there. It was mid week. 

We did a lovely walk over Moel Famau to Moel Arthur, absolutely stunning scenery. I would love to return. An amazing site! With so many other locations to explore in the area. 

Thank you for a wonderful start to our holiday!

Liked An absolutely wonderful stay on a small, peaceful, calm site with fantastic views and surroundings. It was perfect for me and my two grandchildren and we thoroughly enjoyed it camping amongst the pods. Thank you to hosts Ray and Rose who were so helpful and accommodating which made it even better. Will be returning and would definitely recommend this place.

Liked The owners were very welcoming and helpful. The site was well maintained and had beautiful views. The option of tent pitches as well as the pods means it is budget friendly. The kitchen and shower block were great and clean. The 'Village Hall' is also a great spot for when the weather is less than ideal. I wish I could have stayed longer.

Camping pod

Liked Fantastic place to stay.
Really clean and well kept site. Owners are really friendly and can’t do enough for you. We stayed in one of the pods and it was a great size for 2 adults and a child, could have got another 2 in aswell!
Would definitely book again and would recommend to anyone!

Disliked Having to leave! No wifi and signal wasnt the best but was actually quite nice to not be on the devices all the time!

Local attractions

It’s a fair guess to assume you’ve come to this part of the world to get your fill of fresh air… so start your sojourn with a stroll in the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape, which surrounds the site, or set off for the Snowdonia National Park (half an hour away by car). Should you wish to scale Snowdon, it’ll take you an hour or so to drive to one of the starting points. More excited by the mountain biking option? Make off to Moel Famau (20 minutes’ drive), the Llandegla Forest (half an hour) or Coed y Brenin Forest Park (an hour). Llyn Brenig (35 minutes) is a fab spot for fishing, and there’s wilder water to tackle with rafting and gorge walking trips from Llangollen (half an hour). Rather just view the waters? Take a scenic trip on the Bala Lake Railway (40 minutes). If your Wales trip isn’t complete without a castle and a beach, those can be sorted with an outing to grand medieval pile Chirk Castle (40 minutes) and the sandy beach at Talacre (55 minutes). Llandudno, a bit further along the coast (an hour’s drive from the farm) is another fab spot for a beach day – ride the cable car up to the top of the Great Orme headland, then paddle in the sea or bimble around Bodnant Gardens, a couple of miles outside town.
