Liked: Beautiful site and location. Very pleasant owners who gave a warm welcome when we arrived. Owners very helpful and attentive as they brought an extension cable (without us asking) so we could reach the electric box. Thank you! Toilets and showers clean and heated. Pitch size very spacious. Kids loved the space to play and explore.
Disliked: I feel bad making it negative as everything else was brilliant but just some more owner oversight on their dogs is needed. The owners have 2 friendly dogs that have free roam of the camping field during the day. However a bit over friendly at times, especially when food was about.

Nice enough site for the cost, just a shame about the roaming dogs.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: Pros: - Well kept camp grounds - Flat pitch options (some are on an incline) - Clean and warm toilets with lots of toilet roll/handwash - Close to towns (If you have a dog, go to The Farmers Inn in Ruthin. Portions are huge and piping hot, and it’s dog friendly) - Water supply behind each pitch.
Disliked: - The owners have 2 huge dogs that roam throughout the day with no collar on. We saw them toilet on pitches and it wasn’t cleaned up (they’re just let out the main house, and they run between all the tents). Our dog is scared of big dogs, so tucked his tail and kept trying to hide, but they wouldn’t leave him alone so we had to herd them away repeatedly. They are friendly but don’t have manners and chase your car as you drive to park. - There is no reception and no one answers the phone they text from; you have to hope you find a staff member roaming about. - The toilets are quite a walk away, and it’s a bit of a maze when you get inside.

Liked: Great facilities and easy to get around. Also an ideal location for those looking to get into the hills.
Disliked: Some pitches near a fast A road so a tad noisy lats on.
