After setting up with the views (added by manager 17 aug 2022)

  • Spacious and peaceful site with sea views in north Wales
  • A 10-minute drive from Talacre beach and 20 minutes from Rhyl
  • Within an hour's drive of ski centre, Surf Snowdonia and Zip World
Whopping big fields and phenomenal views in Flintshire? Whoop a big yes please to Ynyshir Farm, a small but supremely spacious site with sea vistas, 10 minutes’ drive from Talacre on the north Wales coast. Look one way towards the Dee Estuary and the Irish Sea; look the other and it’s all green fields giving way to hills and the mountains of Snowdonia beyond… this really is a cracking spot. Being on a former farm, there’s bags of space to stretch out and run about… or stretch out and do nothing, except watching the clouds scudding across the sky or the sun setting over the waves… Firepits are available to hire for outdoor cookouts and late-night natters: bring the dog along to sit around the fire too, as they'll be made most welcome on site. They’re welcome too on Talacre beach 10 minutes’ drive away, where shifting dunes, wide sands and a 17th-century lighthouse make a mighty good introduction to the area. If you like a livelier seaside experience, then Rhyl, with its amusements and aquarium, miniature railway and botanical gardens is 20 minutes away.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: The owner was very helpful. I had booked at short notice and had to call ahead as we ended up being a little late for the check-in. He was very accommodating and made us feel at ease. He also gave us a nice recommendation for dinner. We had a lovely pitch in the first field on the left with a nice view. We were very happy with our stay and would stay here again.

Disliked: Not applicable. Everything was to our satisfaction.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Peaceful, spacious, quiet, beautiful views, clean site shower block toilets bins washing up area. Just the best. This was the second time in a few weeks we have stayed. Loved it so much the first time for one night we had 2 this time and will definitely be back. My children love going off and playing with children from other families. There is so much space you’r never too close to other campers. It’s really hard to fault it.

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Absolutely lovely campsite, with stunning views over the sea. The pitch, fields and surroundings were super clean and tidy and we couldn't fault the showers and toilet block. This was our first camping trip with our 3 year old, and she loved it! We felt she was very safe. We would recommend this campsite and would certainly return. We stayed in the top field, and was happy that we could park the van next to the tent. We spent one day in Rhyl, only a 15 minute drive away and watched the air show. Overall this was a lovely family break and as relaxing as camping can be!

Disliked: Nothing in all honesty!

Unpowered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent site

Liked: Nice site grass not overgrown, Showers good and not to busy, no extra charge to use like some places. Rang number on entry to check in never seen owner but not needed at all. Any issues could or rang the number. Only 1 tap we found near showers but for size of site that was fine. Short drive to beach. Could of done with less rain but that's luck of the draw! Our 1 year old's first camping trip and he seemed to enjoy it. Our older 2 kids made friends as usual. Few campers we met all friendly but again that was pure luck. All in all we had a great short break. Thanks

Local attractions

Forever being invaded and defended, it’s castle country round here: 12th-century Denbigh Castle (20 minutes' drive) is at the ghostly ruin end of the scale, while mighty Conwy (40 minutes) looks like it’s still ready to see off a rebel army. If you’re into active stuff, try whizzing down the slopes of Llandudno Ski and Snowboard Centre (40 minutes), riding the waves on Surf Snowdonia’s ingeniously choppy practice lake (50 minutes), or whizzing at great height and velocity down the wires at Zip World Fforest and Penrhyn Quarry, both an hour away. Brought your walking boots? There’s an easy but rewarding trail to the waterfall at Dyserth,10 minutes away; for longer wanders in Snowdonia National Park, it’s an hour’s journey to the start of trails up Carnedd Llewelyn and to Aber Falls. (If you want the heights without straining the hooves, loaf over to Llanberis, an hour away and take the Snowdon Mountain Railway to the top of Wales’ highest peak; you could always walk back down…) If you like a bit of wildlife with your walks, trips up and around the Great Orme headland just above Llandudno (40 minutes) are often likely to be accompanied by sightings of sea birds and even seagoing porpoises. If you want to meet some more exotic beasts close up, it’s a similar distance to the sea lions, sea eagles and Sumatran tigers of the Welsh Mountain Zoo.
