  • Laidback site with 8.5 acres in Bryneglwys village
  • A 25-minute drive from Lake Bala and 40 minutes from Chester
  • Fresh eggs, friendly farm animals and a well-stocked outdoor bar
A chilled site in a quiet corner of Denbighshire, New Inn is a fine place to bag a relaxed rural break. With its splendid views, this popular little spot is within easy reach of attractions in and around Snowdonia, Chester and beyond. Although the former pub is permanently closed, it has a well-stocked outdoor bar called the Wobbly Dog selling draft beer and seasonal local produce. The peaceful park is also a five-minute stroll from Bryneglwys village centre, where the local stores and tea room are on hand to sort out any off-site food needs. Need to organise a bulk shop? Corwen (15 minutes' drive) is home to a bigger range of grocery shops. One of the big draws of New Inn is the number of simple pleasures to be had here, like collecting your own eggs from the site's friendly hens or watching the tame sheep frolicking through the grass. There's also ample room for setting up bonfires or barbecues and for roaming through the wilder parts of the 8.5-acre grounds. The facilities at this back to basics spot are low-key but well-maintained, with a toilet block that's got four toilets, four hot-water sinks, two showers and a washing-up sink. Phone charging is available too, to help you keep power up for your outings.

What customers say

A ripper spot! Spacious, tidy sites and a chilled vibe. Lee and Michaela are legends, always happy to help out. Families love the bar, campfire s'mores, and feeding the animals. Toilets and showers are spotless. Beautiful, quiet location, too. Loads of happy repeat campers.

Unpowered grass campervan or trailer tent site (no pets)

Liked Quiet site. Friendly hosts. Bar/shop very useful. Free roaming chickens that happily came and sat with you. Toilets and showers set up. The little bits and bobs shelf with gas canisters, pegs etc that people can use if needed. Location.

Disliked Not so much a dislike as the showers were nicely done, but I personally found mine to be not hot enough for my liking, lukewarm at best.

Emma Q. 1 review

Unpowered grass tent site (no pets)

Liked What didn’t we like - honestly, the best campsite we have been to and one we will definitely return to next camping season and be recommending to all our family & friends.

Right from arrival, we were given the warmest welcome by Lee and all of the chickens 🐓🥰 we were able to choose our own pitch which was perfect distance from the toilets and bar.

All facilities were super clean. The bar was a much appreciated bonus and the kids loved playing with the ‘Find It’ tubes.

My son was super proud of the recognition he got for his recycling skills ♻️ and both kids loved helping keep the chickens safe, putting them to bed for the night….then being able to help feed them and the pigs in the morning.

If you’re looking for a relaxed, rural, friendly and well located campsite, this is definitely for you….we have had tears at bedtime tonight because we’re back home - that says it all….get booking and go see for yourself 😊

Local attractions

Get gallivanting through the green grounds of Erddig Hall (30 minutes' drive), Chirk Castle (30 minutes) or Ness Botanic Gardens (50 minutes) for fab floral displays, impressive buildings and splendid outdoor strolls. They have something else in common too: top-rated cafés where you can take afternoon tea in genteel garden surrounds. Those magnificently manicured spots strike a cracking contrast with wilder haunts like the shores of Lake Bala (25 minutes), Castell Dinas Brân (25 minutes) and Horseshoe Falls (20 minutes). There's also scope for giving your walking boots and mountain bikes a run for their money at Oneplanet Adventure (10 minutes), a forest visitor centre surrounded by a host of waymarked trails. Further full-on action can be found at the National White Water Centre (30 minutes), while those of a less intrepid temperament have Chester Zoo (40 minutes) not much further away. After making friends with sloths, elephants and jaguars, saunter down into the centre for a stroll down by the Dee or a laidback riverboat cruise.
