  • Small family-friendly working farm site in the Dee Valley
  • Half an hour from Llyn Tegid and 45 minutes from Betws-y-Coed
  • Firepits available for hire; breakfast available on weekend mornings
Walking, cycling, running and swimming… outdoor enthusiasts or simply anyone looking for a relaxing break may set up a sturdy base at The Llama Farm, a small, family-friendly site in the Dee Valley in North Wales. Here, you’ll be planting down on a working farm on the banks of the river Dee in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where each pitch has just under an acre of land and part of a heritage railway line running from Corwen to Llangollen (with a station in Carrog) runs along the bottom of the meadow. The cosy facilities here include toilets and a dishwashing area. You may want to channel good vibes with a firepit, available for hire at a small cost per night. The site also offers phone and power bank charging points so you it's easy to plot out your route. You’ll be able to power up with a breakfast made from ingredients sourced from the farm on weekends, as this is available upon request on Saturdays and Sundays. As this is a working farm, there may be times where the site takes a little longer to respond, so they ask for patience while they deal with your needs. The farm’s animals like their own space and may be wary of strangers coming to say hello, so guests are asked to keep to designated paths and fields.

3 bedroom rental tent (family)

Liked: The site is run by friendly people who were keen to make sure we had everything we needed. Our two small children were also made to feel very welcome and safe on the site. The scenery is beautiful and there are some animals on the farm that the children enjoyed seeing. There are also plenty of birds around the site. The site is quiet and peaceful, and there is plenty of room to run and play. We also enjoyed the coffee and cooked breakfast during our stay. There are quite basic facilities that are clean and well looked after. We would stay here again.

Disliked: Our tent had a couple of leaks, which we spotted due to our first night being an exceptionally wet one!

3 bedroom rental tent (family)

Liked: Recently stayed here, it was fantastic! Beautiful surroundings and fantastic staff. Facilities were perfect for what we needed. Fire pits are easily available to hire. Our group hired a tent which was already put up for our arrival. We were able to order a cooked breakfast one morning which was amazing and great value. The reason for the trip was for my birthday, a brilliant member of staff, Rich bought cupcakes for our group! What a lovely gesture which was greatly appreciated by the group. Thank you Rich and team for a fantastic stay, can’t wait to come back.

Disliked: Nothing - couldn’t fault a thing.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: What a breath-taking place to stay. The views are stunning. The field has hardly any other tents in. Love the whole vibe - family who runs this are so friendly and chilled. They made us a lovely cooked breakfast. The kids loved the llamas in the next field. If you don't mind using the utility tent for a shower and are looking for something a bit different this is the place for you. Thank you Rich and the gang - hopefully we will be back next year.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked: The Llama Farm is a magical place, the family are so welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Its basic, peaceful and well run. Lots of space, an enchanting stream and bathing in the River just up the road. Oh and lots of animals. It is a working farm though and not a petting zoo. We love it here, after a short break you feel refreshed and recharged. Breakfast is exceptional and the firepit a perfect way to spend an evening. Thank you so much Rich, Morag and the rest of the farming family. You run a very special place
