  • 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.

Liked Gorgeous campsite! Beautiful views (in the larger back field) top notch facilities, easy to find and well signposted, amazing hosts and best shower I've had for a month hehehe. Thank you xx

Disliked Be aware it is close to a road and flight path so if that bothers you this place is not for you. I didn't mind at all and I still felt very peaceful.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Very friendly owner
Facilities were clean. I liked the boxes in the shower cubicles to keep your stuff dry, great idea!
Quiet at night, very little road noise.
Nice pub a very short walk away.
I came to do some road cycling but will probably look at returning to try out the nearby mountain bike trail centre.

Disliked The weather was being Welsh

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Really clean and spacious. The field was pick your own pitch and wasn’t overcrowded despite the site saying fully booked. We even got to see the working dogs in action at one point.

There wasn’t a queue for the toilets or showers, and the rules were fair but generous for quiet/noisy times.

There was a plug socket available if needed which would be really handy in an emergency.

About 10 minutes drive away is OnePlanet adventure so if you’re into MTB then that’s for you, and you can even hike round the area like we did. There is a great cafe with food, coffee and alcohol after you’re done and it’s a great atmosphere.

Pub literally 2 minutes walk away from site and the campsite host was really polite and helpful. We would definitely stay there again.

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.
