  • Family-run rural Flintshire farm site 10 minutes' drive from Mold
  • Moel Famau 10 minutes' drive away; 35 minutes to Chester or the coast
  • Well-kept facilities including play areas and dog exercise area
When a business has been running since 1962, you know they have to be doing something right. Or, in the case of Fron Farm Caravan and Camping Park, quite a lot of things… The Roberts family have been running this Flintshire site for several decades now, and over that time it’s developed into a popular spot for a North Wales holiday. It helps that the location is an excellent one, of course, in a rural area with lovely views of the mountains of the Clwydian Range, and the lively market town of Mold 10 minutes’ drive away. Plenty more attractions are close by, too, in an area that can rightly be described as having something for everyone. Moel Famau is 10 minutes’ drive away for hardcore hikers, with country parks also on hand for gentler walks. Castles, a steam railway and other heritage attractions are scattered around, and you can also spend the day on a sandy beach or head to the likes of Liverpool or Chester for a city day. Back at base, a lot of effort has gone into getting the facilities just right. The farm has a reception and shop area, two modern toilet and shower blocks (with disabled facilities) and a couple of laundry rooms with coin-operated machines. There’s also takeaway food available at the weekends in peak season. On top of all that, there are two play areas and plenty of green space for the kids to run around, and they’ll be able to see animals around the farm. Dogs are welcome and have their own exercise area to scamper about in.

What customers say

This is a highly-rated, clean, and friendly campsite with excellent facilities, including two play areas and animals for children to feed. Staff are consistently described as helpful and welcoming. Many reviewers highlight the immaculate toilets and showers, well-stocked shop with local produce, and good food options. While the site is generally peaceful, some experienced noise from inconsiderate neighbours. There are comments regarding a high number of wasps and intermittent Wi-Fi. Ventilation in new toilet blocks is being upgraded.

Electric grass pitch

Liked Everything was great. Third visit for us. We were able to camp on our preferred pitch. We had dogs and it was perfect for them. Our dogs are well trained and did not interact or approach any of the farm animals. This is an important consideration if bringing dogs. Lots of easy access to water and facilities.

Liked Great sized level pitch and everyone is well spaced out. There are two faciltities block, one modern and one older but still clean and functional.
Two play areas suitable for all ages as most don't cater to toddlers but they were great.
Lovely site to walk around and see the animals plus reception sells food to feed them too.
Shop onsite which was well stocked and the staff were lovely.
Gorgeous veiws and well located for exploring.

Disliked The internet can be poor but its free and expected due to the location, just a heads up

Electric grass pitch

Liked Spacious pitches, spotless facilities, the staff at the shop were just lovely! We thoroughly enjoyed our Easter bank holiday weekend here! The Easter egg hunt on the Sunday was so much fun for the kids, the site is a lovely family run place that we will definitely be returning to.
The kids especially loved being able to feed the farm animals each day 😁

Disliked Nothing!

Electric grass pitch

Liked Really nice site. Modern toilet and shower blocks. Felt very safe.

Disliked Shower area could do with a heater although the water was far too hot for us. The shelter over the washing up station could do with coming out further and maybe have a side on it as the wind when washing up was incredible and very cold. One last thing, a general waste bin on the top area as I am disabled and trekking down to the reception gate to get rid of rubbish was a struggle however, had to be done as cats got in the rubbish the first night and made such a mess.

Local attractions

Take a hike – there are some great routes to try out around here, including the trail up Moel Famau, the highest summit in the Clwydian Range (10 minutes’ drive) and sections of the Offa’s Dyke Path, which runs nearby. For something a little gentler, head to the limestone landscapes of Loggerheads Country Park (15 minutes) or walk to a waterfall and castle ruins at Wepre Park (20 minutes). For more dips into the area’s history, wander around Flint Castle (20 minutes) and learn about Victorian prison life at Ruthin Gaol Museum (25 minutes). Chester (35 minutes), with its cathedral, city walls and half-timbered buildings, and Llangollen (45 minutes), with a steam railway and horse-drawn canal boats, are other good options for a hit of heritage. Change of scenery? Go north-west to Rhyl (35 minutes) for a day on the sandy beach (or at the SC2 waterpark if it’s damp) or north-east to Liverpool (an hour) for football, music, shopping and some excellent free museums.
