  • Back-to-basics meadow camping on a farm in Ysceifiog, North Wales
  • Clwydian Range 10 minutes’ drive and Flint Castle 20 minutes
  • Off-grid pop-up site with mains water; local pub 15 minutes’ walk
If you’re going back to basics in North Wales, do it at Gledlom Farm, an off-grid pop-up site in the peaceful village of Ysceifiog and surrounded by scenic Flintshire countryside. Mown pitches are on a level grass field edged by mature trees; once settled in, it’s easy to catch up with nature and escape everyday stresses. Designed for anyone who appreciates minimalist rural camping, the facilities are kept intentionally basic to preserve the field’s untouched atmosphere. Essential mains water and well-maintained portable toilets are provided, and without the distractions of electricity or modern clubhouse noise, you can relish unbroken rural views, spectacular starry night skies and the gentle pace of North Wales village life. The site is a great base for walkers and cyclists, with scenic trails right on the doorstep. After a busy day of exploration and adventure, you can wrap up the evening with a hot meal and a pint in one of the three local pubs – the nearest is 15 minutes’ walk away.

What customers say

This is a basic, peaceful, and affordable campsite with open spaces and lovely rural views. Visitors consistently praise the friendly and helpful owner, Farmer Phil, who checks on guests. The site is well-located for walks and is a short distance from villages with pubs. Facilities include portaloo toilets, bins, and a water tap. While generally clean and well-maintained, some mention the lack of showers and the single portaloo can be a wait during busy periods.
