  • 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 Area of Natural Beauty. 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: A wonderful stay for myself and my son on one of the tent pitches. Raymond is a delightful host and the campsite is easily the nicest and cleanest I have ever been to. Time, care and attention has clearly been, and continues to be, paid to the guests and how to make them feel at home and welcome. We stayed for two nights and visited Llangollen, a short drive away. We did not venture to the pub which is a short walk away but others who were staying there assured us it was easy to get to and a nice place to eat and drink. It was a pleasure to stay here and we will definitely be back.

Disliked: Nothing

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Someone else on here called this the Best Campsite in Wales, so we thought lets see about that…and they were right. Beautiful location with breathtaking views of the Clwydians, immaculate pitches and surrounding grounds, the cleanest facilities including a fully stocked kitchen and games/chill out room. I did not need to take my kettle! More than reasonable rates for what you get. All that pales into significance when compared with the friendliness and warmth demonstrated by the hosts, Raymond and Rose. You will be hard pressed to find nicer owners, they really do care about their guests. We brought a bit of bad weather with is, and Raymond allowed us to leave later to avoid packing down in the worst weather and even helped som and I take the tent down. I always say we will be back, and this time we definitely will. Thank you Raymond and Rose

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It's a small but wonderful place, quiet and with beautiful surroundings. Kitchen and shower/toilet facilities are great and very clean. Ray and Rose are very welcoming and helpful and we enjoyed our chats with Ray. We only stayed one night in our roof top tent but will come back for sure.

Liked: This was a lovely, peaceful campsite. The owners were so friendly, great communication and were always happy to help. The shower block was clean, we hired the fire pit for the evening which was a great addition and there was a lovely pub a short walk away - would definitely stay again :-)

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 AONB, 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.
