  • Family-run farm with a dog-friendly site in Llandegla
  • On the Offa’s Dyke Path, 15 minutes’ drive from Llangollen
  • Walk to the village shop and café; mountain biking trails nearby
Wave hi to the gorgeous North Wales countryside, where Llyn Rhys Campsite will introduce you to outdoor pursuits in the Clwydian Range and horse-drawn canal boat rides at a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 15-minute drive away from Llangollen and the UNESCO-listed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Llyn Rhys Campsite is on a family-run farm in Llandegla with easy access off the A5104. This is an excellent place to make your acquaintance with walking, biking and other outdoor pursuits. Five minutes’ drive away from the farm is a mountain biking trail centre with mountain biking, trail running and walking trails for all abilities and a café. Very conveniently, the Offa’s Dyke Path, tracing the Wales and England border, passes through the middle of the farm too. For other days out, ask the site to help you plan more walks, as there are plenty to choose from. Really, what a spot… Llyn Rhys Campsite is at the start of the Clwydian Range, a series of hills in northeast Wales running down to Prestatyn. The highest point is the popular Moel Famau, 25 minutes’ drive away. In the opposite direction, Llangollen is in the middle of the Dee Valley, where there are more stunning landscapes. In Llandegla Forest (15 minutes’ drive), the RSPB also organises nightjar and black grouse walks during the spring. This friendly site has well-maintained facilities including showers, toilets and a washing-up room. There’s plenty of space in the almost-flat fields, including for dogs. Campfires are welcome; rent a fire basket and buy some wood to set yourself up for a cosy eve. There’s wifi, a village shop and café 15 minutes’ walk away and four towns within driving distance for other supplies.

What customers say

This campsite is praised for its stunning views, spacious fields, and well-maintained, clean facilities, including hot showers and ample water points. Visitors highlight the warm welcome from friendly and helpful owners, the peaceful atmosphere, and excellent value for money. Dog-friendly, it's well-located for exploring Llangollen and local walking routes. Minor issues noted include occasional road noise and limited shower storage, though these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experiences and high likelihood of return visits.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Toilets and showers were really clean and conveniently located and loved that there is a wash room to clean up pans, plates etc.

Great fire pit and wood provided for a small fee

Very friendly and helpful owners

We’ve stayed here twice now as it’s about 5 minutes from one planet adventure and an hour from coed y brenin so an excellent place to stay if you’re mountain biking and also very reasonably priced, we will definitely be booking this camp site again

Becky W.

Electric grass pitch

Liked The family were lovely and helpful. The site was really beautiful , hot showers that you didn’t have to keep pressing a button for water! Really clean and smelt great! 😆 facilities were close to my pitch but not on the pitch, which I liked! Also dog friendly.

Disliked It was near a road with no path and I couldn’t walk my dog far from the site, which wasn’t a problem/ dislike, just a comment! Also there wasn’t a shop that I could walk to or on site, but I only stayed for 1 night so I would have asked if I’d have needed too.

Liked Lovely site!
Very clean and tidy site with lots of water points around. Showers and toilets are great along with the pot washing room which has lots of info for the area.
The owners are very friendly and welcoming.

Short walk to the local pub and a 20 min drive to Llangollen.

I would 100% stay here again.

Disliked Nothing :)

Local attractions

Where might a five-minute drive get you? To fisheries, Llandegla Laser Combat and the Fauxdegla Shooting Ground for quick entertainment, perhaps. Llangollen (15 minutes' drive) is tempting too, whether for steam train trips and horse-drawn canal boats over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct or festivals like the International Musical Eisteddfod, Llangollen Food Festival and Llangollen Fringe Festival. For urban action, Bala (35 minutes) is a historic market town with watersports activities and the Vale of Clwyd (from 15 minutes) has more historic market towns, including Ruthin, Denbigh and St Asaph. Catch a theatre show in Mold (20 minutes) or the footie in Wrexham (20 minutes), before hitting up the cities. Chester (35 minutes) has Roman walls, a cathedral, the Rows shopping street and a Roman amphitheatre, while Liverpool (an hour) has several Beatles locations to visit. At Zip World Fforest (50 minutes), you might conquer a fear or two on Europe’s highest swing and the 21 zipwires and rope bridges that make up their treetop adventure course.
