What customers say
This campsite receives consistent praise for its exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, immaculate facilities, and well-maintained grounds featuring mature trees. Its convenient location offers easy access to local amenities, including shops and pubs, and serves as a good base for exploring the surrounding area. While generally peaceful, some visitors noted noticeable traffic noise from the nearby main road, which may affect light sleepers. Pitches are generally spacious, though some found them close together or slightly uneven.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
A lovely maintained site.
Electric grass pitch
Liked A lovely maintained site, staff friendly and welcoming. The site was located just right for our needs, for this trip, but is next to a dual carriageway so ithere s constant traffic noise.
Located near by is a service station which will cater for most peoples needs and an Aldi store next to it.
We were on a grass electric hook-up. Which we found too far from the facilities .
The showers block very clean, and we'll maintained but we found there was not neogh showers foe the size of the site, especially in busy periods ,
The site was dog friendly which allowed us to take our dogs with us.

Brilliant
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked The friendly welcome, staff absolutely lovely. The fact we were given two huge pitches to be with our friends in a motorhome (we were in a tent) so way more flexible and laid back than many campsites. Stunning views and clean facilities of all the basics. Situated perfectly for a stroll into Ruabon with a costa/Aldi literally on the doorstep
Disliked Road noise, can’t be helped, but be aware
