Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Loved this place…..very simple it is literally a field of sheep and feels like you are completely alone with nothing else or anybody else around so perfect for us. There is a toilet, which my husband loved driving to in his landy, he loved the off roading to get to our tent! Wouldn’t want to walk it though. There is a phone signal if like me you have to keep in touch with a 17 and 18 year old! Views are amazing and it is just so peaceful and you are left too it again perfect for us. Already planning when we can go back!

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: An excellent place to stay—highly recommended for anyone who values privacy. The other campers were far away, giving you plenty of space to yourself. The views were breathtaking, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly."

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: If you come prepared, you will have an amazing time. The views are amazing. You have a large space to yourself and towns like Bala and betws aren't a million miles away. Make sure you bring absolutely everything you will need for your stay, as the shop in the nearby village is quite small. Will definitely be coming back to this hidden gem.

Disliked: Nothing. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Secluded pitches, great views and minimal rules. Vehicles can park next to pitches which is a big bonus when you have lots of gear to set up. Sian was lovely to deal with.

Disliked: Because the land is shared by sheep there is a fair amount of droppings around the site, not a deal-breaker but just be aware you may need to do some tactical sweeping before you pitch up.

Local attractions

Remote and peaceful this site may well be, but it’s only 20 minutes by car to sporty stuff in Snowdonia National Park, where the pretty town of Betws-y-Coed (25 minutes’ drive) is a good hub for activities ranging from hill walking and biking to high ropes courses. There’s no real need to wander that far away, though, as there are walking trails aplenty in Clocaenog Forest (five minutes' drive). Expert mountain bikers can have days of fun on the downhill trails at Foel Gasnach Bike Park (10 minutes), and novices can practise their skills on green routes at OnePlanet Adventure (half an hour), where you can hire all the gear too. The Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (half an hour’s drive) has hill walks to limestone pavements and fly fishing for salmon along the River Dee. Trout fishing is to be had on Llyn Brenig lake (15 minutes), where visitors can also get out on the water in sailing dinghies. Hit a rainy day? Browse the art gallery and craft shops at Ruthin Craft Centre (20 minutes).
