Vale of Clwyd site a mile from Ruthin town centre
Half an hour's drive from Snowdonia and 40 minutes from the coast
Views of the Clwydian Range: Moel Famau within walking distance

Even a quick look at the pics gives away that Coed Derw Camping has some cracking views out over the Clwydian Range… and that in turn should give you a hint that this Denbighshire site, within the grounds of the Vale Country Club, is a fine spot for a walking holiday. It’s a particularly fine spot if you’re in the area to climb Moel Famau, the region’s highest peak. This popular hiking area is within walking distance of the park so you can tackle it without any need to consider car parking – always something of a bonus. Your boots won’t be done once you’re back down from there: have a chat with the folk on site for ideas on where else to walk locally or take a drive to the Snowdonia National Park (about half an hour away). While you’re over in Snowdonia, you might like to tackle mountain bike trails, inland surfing or zipwires too; if that all sounds a bit much, head north to the seaside with a drive of 40 minutes or so. Got any more walking in your legs? It’s handy to know you can walk to the town of Ruthin in about 20 minutes (along a road that’s got pavement all the way) – although you could also drive in five minutes if you’re out of puff. Either way, there are plenty of places to eat and drink over there, plus takeaways and shops to pick up supplies for a barbecue back at base. Back at base, facilities include toilets, showers and free wifi.

Liked: Beautiful site. Amazing views. Toilets/showers have to be the cleanest and warmest (underfloor heating) ever seen. Loved our weekend break here and will certainly return.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely, well kept camping field, huge pitches with electric and water. Lovely view of the hills. Nice facilities- showers and toilet part of the club house/leisure facilities so very high spec including underfloor heating. Outdoor sink with hot water for washing up. A really nice pub 10 mins walk away and Ruthin town centre only about 15/20mins with shops, pubs, restaurants, cafe etc. Overall, chilled vibe and would happily stay again.

Disliked: The road noise is a bit annoying but you get used to it.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lovely spacious pitches. Stunning views, plenty of space for our two young children to run around without disturbing other campers. Pitches are separated by grass and flowers so gives extra privacy. It rained quite heavily whilst we were there and not once did the pitches become soggy with mud.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike about this campsite.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: So clean Quiet Gardens kept well

Disliked: Dogs ( roaming when we arrived, couldn’t put my baby down but asked for them to be put away which they did instantly ) However when we went out they were in our tent licking plates - our neighbours told us. So that’s the only downfall to the place.

Local attractions

Best way to get out for a walk? Head straight out from the site for the likes of Ruthin Gaol (half an hour on foot) or Moel Famau (an hour and 15 minutes). Once you’ve wandered locally there are heaps more fab routes in the Snowdonia National Park (half an hour’s drive) or out on the Denbighshire moors, where Llyn Brenig (half an hour) is a top spot for waterside walks, plus sailing and fishing. If you’ve got a bit of an adventurous streak, there are plenty of places to unleash that around here. If it’s moving at speed that gets your heart going, try out the mountain bike trails at One Planet Adventure (20 minutes), or scream along the ziplines at Zip World Fforest (45 minutes). For water-based antics, ride the surf waves at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (half an hour), or something subterranean, bounce on the underground trampolines at Zip World Slate Caverns (an hour). Time for a breather? Rhyl (40 minutes) is a fine choice for a day at the seaside, playing on the beach, riding the miniature railway and eyeballing the sea beasties at the aquarium.
