  • Peaceful family-run site on a working farm in Denbighshire
  • A 15-minute walk from the pub, shops and places to visit in Rhuddlan
  • Views of the Clwydian Range; a 10-minute drive from beaches
Birds singing, lambs baaing, cows mooing… it’s all about the wake-up calls at Abbey Farm Caravan and Camping, and it’s likely that even reluctant early risers will be keen to get up and about once those rural sounds start up. At this peaceful farm in the Denbighshire countryside, you’ll get a warm welcome from Rob and Celia, their children Lewis and Owen and friendly sheepdogs Buster and Jess. Take a stroll around and you’ll often spot free-range chickens wandering about the place too – they’re the ones that provide freshly laid eggs for sale each day. Surrounded by cows and sheep grazing, plus lovely views of the Clwydian Range, the site has a bit of history behind it, too: the farm’s location was once a Dominican friary, and you can still see remnants of that past in the abbey buildings. (Not often you get to stay at a field that’s part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument, right?) It’s the kind of place where families and couples can kick back and relax with simple facilities on hand, including three bathroom blocks (for toilets and showers), plus a utility area for washing-up, complete with a communal fridge and freezer. This should pique your interest too: the on-site farm shop (opening days vary) sells the farm's very own beef, lamb, pork and fresh farm eggs, as well as produce such as jams, chutneys, fresh bread, cakes, fruit and vegetables from suppliers across North Wales. Days out should also be easy enough, as there are main roads nearby, but you’ll face a choice: up to the coast for a beach day (10 minutes’ drive), or over to Snowdonia for hikes and other outdoor activities (40 minutes)? Getting out to handy amenities is also straightforward: it’s about a 10-minute walk to the lovely village of Rhuddlan for cafés, pubs and shops – plus a castle (this is Wales, after all).

What customers say

Friendly, tidy working farm campsite with peaceful vibes & great country views. Spotless, modern loos & showers. Short walk to village shops & castle. Farm animals a hit! Mostly top-notch, just a few minor gripes like no hand soap or camper noise.

Local attractions

A stately home built in the 17th century, Bodrhyddan Hall (five minutes’ drive) is known for its manicured lawns and paths snaking through dense woodland. After a guided tour of the interior (which takes you past artworks, period furniture and an Egyptian mummy), stop for refreshments in the tea room. With its wide sandy beach and miniature railway, Rhyl (10 minutes) is a top destination for families. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, you can head to SC2 Rhyl, with an indoor waterpark, a ninja assault course and a soft-play area for younger kids, or to the SeaQuarium. Snow leopards, lemurs and brown bears are just some of the animals at Welsh Mountain Zoo (15 minutes). Other residents include exotic birds, reptiles and the furry and feathered guests at the Children’s Farm (rabbits, guinea pigs and ducks, among others). The park also has colourful gardens and woodland walks.
