  • Peaceful rural park in St Asaph
  • Four miles from the beaches and funfairs of Rhyl and Prestatyn
  • Excellently-kept amenities and plenty of tourist info on site
Did you know that - thanks to the Diamond Jubilee of good Queen Lilibet - that UK got three brand new cities in 2012? One of the newbies, St Asaph in Denbighshire, is home to just three thousand people if you’re curious about this tiny gem, come to Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park, where you’ll be perfectly placed to join in any right royal knees-up that might still be going on in St Asaph, and to visit the classic Welsh coastal resorts of Prestatyn and Rhyl. Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park is a peaceful rural site with well-kept pitches and with amenities kept to high standards by the friendly helpful team.There’s a great range of tourist information available on site to help you make the most of the local area. You’ll find a handful of shops, including a convenience store, butcher and chemist in the nearby village of Dyserth (don’t miss out on a stop at the stunning Dyserth waterfalls while you’re there).

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Toilets and showers were good standard for camping

Disliked If your not electric hook up you are told to pitch up in the middle of the field was like camping in a festival young children playing between the tents (can’t blame them they need somewhere to play) guide ropes overlapping it was that much of a tight fit also people camping in all sorts of directions so no privacy at all, we like camping for the peace and quiet, people in large groups with music on loud and drinking until 4am in the morning also people shouting at their kids all day long, if your looking for somewhere for a group I would recommend it but not for a quiet weekend, toilets are also a walk from the camping field but they are pretty decent, also don’t like the barrier to get in and out waited for a long time to leave and get back in.

Liked The space and location was nice, the amenities could of been a little better. But more than enough for your needs.

Disliked Power kept on tripping out on the electric hook up which was frustrating.
I've stayed in cheaper places with electric and better amenities for less.

Overall perfect for a family just wanting to chill for a few days.

Kallan I.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked There is very little to dislike, The grounds to pitch on where fantastic, the toilets and showers where fantastic, Nice and warm in there after the walk from the tent, Freezer, most useful thing you could have on a summer camp out, Water everywhere, as your entering and leaving different areas. Laundry and ironing available in the ladies.

Disliked Men's toilet and shower block, If it was just dad camping with there son or daughter, There isn't anywhere to change a baby, and the facilities for clothing are all in the women's block. It's just not as realistic for a single dad taking his kids camping. Otherwise, Not a flaw.

Local attractions

For families, the safe sandy beaches, funfairs and plentiful tourist attractions of Rhyl and Prestatyn - just four miles away - will no doubt be top of the list. The attractive seaside resorts of Llandudno and Colwyn Bay are also within an easy drive. Fishing fans can try the trout farm ten minutes up the road from Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park, or head into St Asaph to fish the River Elwy; walkers can saunter through a superb selection of scenery, including nearby Offa’s Dyke, or drive to Snowdonia National Park and hike the mountains and lakes; and golfers will also find that this area suits them to a tee, with a huge choice of courses including Caerwys, Meliden, Rhuddlan, Rhyl, Holywell and Prestatyn. Other top picks for sightseeing include the village of Betws-Y-Coed and the neighbouring Swallow Falls; the imposing remains of Rhuddlan Castle; and seventeenth century Bodrhyddan Hall, where a 3,000-year-old mummy lurks among the armour and period furniture...
