  • Rural adults-only site five minutes’ drive from Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
  • A 15-minute drive to Llangollen and Chirk; Offa’s Dyke Path two miles
  • Dog-friendly location with discounted access to secure dog fields
You might have a hard time tearing yourself away from this peaceful countryside site surrounded by green hills and open spaces. At least, that's until you hear that Plas Issa Farm is also only a five-minute drive from the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It may be based on an off-grid working farm, but this adults-only site is well within reach of spectacular North Wales sights… Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is an obvious first choice, with its spectacular stone and cast-iron structure with 18 arches; get yourself onboard a narrowboat from Llangollen Wharf. Nearby Llangollen (15 minutes' drive) also has a steam railway and countless adorable cafés. Plas Issa Farm is between the villages of Penycae and Acrefair, a 15-minute drive from Wrexham and Chirk, and within a short drive of the Clwydian Range & Dee Valley National Landscape. There are plenty of walks in the immediate area that guests can get out onto, including a public footpath from the farm itself and the Offa’s Dyke Path around two miles away. Adventures aside, it should be easy to embrace a slower pace on site. Firepits (bring your own off-ground firepit or hire one upon arrival) are welcome in most areas – good news for those who want to try stargazing – and there’s plenty of space to unwind around the large paddocks. Well-behaved dogs are welcome; the site has discounted access to secure dog fields nearby. Facilities cover the basics, with bottled spring drinking water and eco soaps, washing-up liquids and shower gels left out for guests to use at the handwashing sink. The portable toilets (including a wheelchair-accessible one) are in the farm complex, along with a cold shower, hot wet-room-style shower (small donations are requested) and phone charging points. Portable chargers are available for an additional fee. Local pubs and shops are within a 10- to 20-minute walk and a larger supermarket is 10 minutes' drive away.

What customers say

This quiet country campsite boasts ripper views & roomy sites. Dean, the host, is a legend – super friendly & helpful! Ablutions are spotless & the barn's ace. Great for a chilled escape, close to town and bushwalks. Farm cat Teddy's a bonus!

Chestnut Bank unpowered grass and earth tent site

Liked Great peaceful site, basic facilities, fantastic views. Only stayed one night as we traveled around North Wales. Would definitely stay again. Owners Dean and Wendy were lovely, very friendly and accommodating. Best horse chestnut tree I've seen,bang in the centre of the camping field. Also a great site for dogs.
Cheers, Paul and Alison

Barnside power optional concrete and grass campervan site (premium)

Liked Quiet rural location.
Dean was very welcoming and extremely helpful. Couldn't do enough for you. We were able to book online and turn up to site all within an hour.
Washroom, showers and toilets built in and around the barns and courtyard.
Quiet and basic farm based site that provided a great one night stop off for us on our trip around Wales.

Disliked Temporary toilet facilities rather than permanently built whilst the camp develops. Not a big issue. (Minus 1 star).

Farm Side 10-amp powered concrete and grass campervan site

Liked Dean couldn't be more helpful as a host. Let us choose a different area from where I had originally booked and kindly let us unpack close to where we were camping for the night so we didn't have to lug all of our stuff over the field. Only one other set of campers in the field we were in so it was lovely and peaceful! The facilities are really good - didn't make use of the shower but the toilets are plentiful and kept very clean! Wash room is good as well with all the equipment needed to wash your plates and bowls etc. If you need to you can hire firepits, portable chargers, any of the extra bits you might have forgotten. We also had the very friendly farm cat Teddy come and say hello to us every time we went to the barns - he was one of the highlights of the stay! The views are amazing and it's not on a busy road. Lovely place to just get away from it all. Will definitely be coming again, thank you Dean!

Local attractions

Don’t be too surprised if you keep on returning to Llangollen (15 minutes’ drive). As well as being the departure point for narrowboat rides along the Llangollen Canal, it has a steam railway heritage line and the Plas Newydd Historic House & Gardens, a 14th-century Victorian country house remodelled in the 1930s. Set on a hilltop above Llangollen, Castell Dinas Brân (15 minutes) is another reason to keep returning. The medieval castle has quite the scenery, but first, you’ll need to walk uphill from Llangollen. Treat it as your warm-up for a bigger hike at World’s End (half an hour). Chirk has another stunning aqueduct, the Chirk Aqueduct & Viaduct (15 minutes). Chirk Castle (15 minutes), managed by the National Trust, is also in the area; its 480 acres of working parkland, 13th-century Marcher castle and café should easily occupy you for a morning.
