  • Laidback site with 8.5 acres in Bryneglwys village
  • A 25-minute drive from Lake Bala and 40 minutes from Chester
  • Fresh eggs, friendly farm animals and a well-stocked outdoor bar
A chilled site in a quiet corner of Denbighshire, New Inn is a fine place to bag a relaxed rural break. With its splendid views, this popular little spot is within easy reach of attractions in and around Snowdonia, Chester and beyond. Although the former pub is permanently closed, it has a well-stocked outdoor bar called the Wobbly Dog selling draft beer and seasonal local produce. The peaceful park is also a five-minute stroll from Bryneglwys village centre, where the local stores and tea room are on hand to sort out any off-site food needs. Need to organise a bulk shop? Corwen (15 minutes' drive) is home to a bigger range of grocery shops. One of the big draws of New Inn is the number of simple pleasures to be had here, like collecting your own eggs from the site's friendly hens or watching the tame sheep frolicking through the grass. There's also ample room for setting up bonfires or barbecues and for roaming through the wilder parts of the 8.5-acre grounds. The facilities at this back to basics spot are low-key but well-maintained, with a toilet block that's got four toilets, four hot-water sinks, two showers and a washing-up sink. Phone charging is available too, to help you keep power up for your outings.

What customers say

A lovely spot for families, with big pitches and top-notch facilities like hot showers & a decent bar. Owners are sound, the Saturday bonfire's a hit, and you can feed the animals. Great for seeing the sights, and the relaxed vibe gets a big thumbs-up.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked Amazing as always! I absolutely love this campsite.
The kids loved the big campfire in the evening. It got everyone together and it was such a novelty to have huge sticks to toast their marshmallow on (and obviously keeps them at a safe distance from the fire). Giant marshmallows and biscuits were provided, which is a cute little extra.
All the children on the campsite, older ones and younger ones, then spent the evening playing together: running around the fields with torches and playing hide and seek. It was so nice that everyone was involved and just playing as children should.
My kids are 10 and 12, and usually glued to their phones. But at this campsite they were just playing in the fields and enjoying the nature, they didn’t even look at their phones.
Then feeding the animals in the morning was a fun for all, and included as part of the camping experience.
The bar is lovely, the staff are super friendly and helpful. The whole weekend was just a really relaxing and welcoming.
Good facilities: clean toilets and showers, a little bar with drinks & snacks and a little pop up shop for essentials. If you forget anything, or are running short, it’s there. They even offer things like tent pegs, chairs and small gas canisters to borrow/use if you need. It’s just a really kind gesture. They have thought of everything. Everyone was so nice.
We can’t wait to go back again, it’s definitely a favourite for us!

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch (pet friendly)

Liked We first stayed here the day they opened when they provided a welcome relief from the grind of Covid (if you know where to look you can still see the gel bottle holders!). It great to see how they have expended, both in terms of pitches, facilities and how many of their original ideas have actually come to fruition.

Everything you need is here, but if you want a sterilised "no dirt" outdoors experience, then go elsewhere. This is for people who realise that grass grows long (the owners allow it to flourish between pitches to give you your own space), chickens will wonder, and that children love to feed pigs squishy bananas!

Ps - 10 stars for WiFI, Because it doesn't have any!

Liked Chickens and animal feeding is absolutely one of the most attractive things there. Very nice owners (extremely patient Lee 😎, who answer for all my children's questions). Beautiful views and cosy pitch in general. Also s'mores with a huge fire. 😍 We were there three times this year. 😍

Local attractions

Get gallivanting through the green grounds of Erddig Hall (30 minutes' drive), Chirk Castle (30 minutes) or Ness Botanic Gardens (50 minutes) for fab floral displays, impressive buildings and splendid outdoor strolls. They have something else in common too: top-rated cafés where you can take afternoon tea in genteel garden surrounds. Those magnificently manicured spots strike a cracking contrast with wilder haunts like the shores of Lake Bala (25 minutes), Castell Dinas Brân (25 minutes) and Horseshoe Falls (20 minutes). There's also scope for giving your walking boots and mountain bikes a run for their money at Oneplanet Adventure (10 minutes), a forest visitor centre surrounded by a host of waymarked trails. Further full-on action can be found at the National White Water Centre (30 minutes), while those of a less intrepid temperament have Chester Zoo (40 minutes) not much further away. After making friends with sloths, elephants and jaguars, saunter down into the centre for a stroll down by the Dee or a laidback riverboat cruise.
