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: Owner very helpful & friendly, beautiful views of Clwyd Hills. Site is very well maintained including toilet & showers even had a jacuzzi. Would return again, worth a visit close to Ruthin which has a Tesco Recommend.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Beautiful site and location. Very pleasant owners who gave a warm welcome when we arrived. Owners very helpful and attentive as they brought an extension cable (without us asking) so we could reach the electric box. Thank you! Toilets and showers clean and heated. Pitch size very spacious. Kids loved the space to play and explore.

Disliked: I feel bad making it negative as everything else was brilliant but just some more owner oversight on their dogs is needed. The owners have 2 friendly dogs that have free roam of the camping field during the day. However a bit over friendly at times, especially when food was about.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Nice enough site for the cost, just a shame about the roaming dogs.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Pros: - Well kept camp grounds - Flat pitch options (some are on an incline) - Clean and warm toilets with lots of toilet roll/handwash - Close to towns (If you have a dog, go to The Farmers Inn in Ruthin. Portions are huge and piping hot, and it’s dog friendly) - Water supply behind each pitch.

Disliked: - The owners have 2 huge dogs that roam throughout the day with no collar on. We saw them toilet on pitches and it wasn’t cleaned up (they’re just let out the main house, and they run between all the tents). Our dog is scared of big dogs, so tucked his tail and kept trying to hide, but they wouldn’t leave him alone so we had to herd them away repeatedly. They are friendly but don’t have manners and chase your car as you drive to park. - There is no reception and no one answers the phone they text from; you have to hope you find a staff member roaming about. - The toilets are quite a walk away, and it’s a bit of a maze when you get inside.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked: Great facilities and easy to get around. Also an ideal location for those looking to get into the hills.

Disliked: Some pitches near a fast A road so a tad noisy lats on.

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.
