  • 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.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Clean toilets and showers. Good washing up facilities. I went off peak and so it was lovely and quiet with a good choice of pitches.

Disliked Be aware.the road is near and quite busy. It didn't keep me awake or wake me up so didnt bother me as such but others might not be so keen.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Our experience at this camp site was amazing. The lady who ran the campsite made us feel very welcome and even accommodated us for an extra night after our plans changed. The facilities were spotless and our camp fire supplied by the campsite made our camping trip even more enjoyable.
Thank you again

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Really large site, really friendly owners and staff, great location for a lot of great walks, things to do etc

Disliked Only thing would be the toilet block in the large field only has one ladies toilet. Plenty of others in the main block mind you, but a bit odd!

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked A beautiful site, with beautiful views, the children loved the sheep and large space to explore and play.
Site was very quiet as advertised and facilities were just what you needed.

Disliked Close to a main road and at times could hear loud motorbikes passing by.

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.
