  • Peaceful caravan park on a working farm 15 minutes from Denbigh
  • Spectacular views across the Vale of Clwyd and up to the coast
  • Farm produce available (eg eggs and sausages) and near local pub
Peaceful times, gorgeous views and easy access to walks and bike rides… all are on the menu for guests at Plas Dolben, a quiet caravan park on a working farm in the Clwydian Range Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The folk at this scenic site (which looks out over the Vale of Clwyd) keep sheep, cows, pigs and free-range chickens, and have a range of their own produce for sale to guests. Eggs, sausages and other meat products are among the edibles that are usually available for your feasts, and new potatoes put in an appearance when they’re in season too. Need to top up on the provisions? The towns of Denbigh and Ruthin are both around a 15-minute drive away for shops and restaurants; if you’d rather someone else did the cooking (and poured you a pint while you wait), take yourselves on the 10-minute trot to the local pub. This is a back to basics place, so facilities are limited to a toilet, hot shower and cold water tap; there’s also plenty of space around the site to relax and play games or light up a barbecue. Getting out into the surrounds is a cinch here: a walking trail and mountain bike trail pass through the site, and a bus route passes by for those who’d like to roam by public transport. Snowdonia and the north Wales coast are within a 45-minute drive.

Quiet pitches with amazing views. Spotless loos/showers, super-friendly owners. Farm sausages/eggs a must! Basic but peaceful, great value, you'll want to go back. Pub nearby, spring water available.

Liked Beautiful campsite, the views are amazing. Welcoming friendly owners. I would have definitely returned to the campsite again in the future for its beauty.

Disliked Got to add we was the only people left on the campsite on a Monday night and we experienced something we will never forget, we didn’t believe it ourselves until it happened but we saw a glimpse of a big cats eyes outside the tent then heard it heavily breathing just a couple of steps away and wen I made a sudden movement to pick up my baby it pounced and began circling the tent, so fast it there could of been more than one, it seemed we was being stalked surrounded by the animal from all sides of the tent. Then We also heard the big cats fighting my partner said this could have been its cubs. We have since researched puma sounds we are convinced the breathing and fighting sounds we heard are a puma.

We have lived in wales for many years and are frequent travellers of the countryside camping out but have never heard or experienced anything like this before. Just want to make people aware of our experience of this wild animal.

From the manager: Hi thank you for your kind words and high score despite your fright!! I suspect it was a family of badgers - they make strange noises when play fighting!!

Lovely peaceful stay

Liked Everything….!
Lovely welcome from Iona on arrival and a perfect pitch under the shade of a huge tree. Plenty of space for us to set up our camper and sun canopy. Toilet and shower rooms are lovely and immaculately clean. So peaceful and quiet with a lovely pub a 20 minute walk away. Only half an hour away from home for us but we could have been a million miles away.
Thank you for a lovely stay. We will be back for longer next time 😊

Disliked Nothing. It was perfect!

Liked We had the most amazing weekend at Plas Dolben, the family are so friendly and so helpful. They told us about the food and drink festival, which was good and whilst we was there, we ended up doing the prison tour which was fab. We also really enjoyed the walk and being able to be close to the animals and stroking the gorgeous horses. We also tried the amazing sausages, we enjoyed them so much we took two packs back home. The views were absolutely amazing and it was just so peaceful, we had the best time, it was just what we needed and we will certainly be coming back next summer with kids.

Local attractions

To make the most of your immediate surrounds, set out on the four-mile heritage walking route that passes through the farm, taking in abandoned farmhouses, St Cynhafal's church and the farm’s own medieval holy well. You’re also a 20-minute walk from the Offa’s Dyke Path, and an hour or so from the top of Moel Famau. For other outdoorsy pursuits, take your wheels out on the Ride the Clwyds mountain bike trail that runs through the site, or get set for games of golf (in Mold, 25 minutes’ drive) or footgolf (in Ruthin, 15 minutes). Walks in the Snowdonia National Park are around 45 minutes away, as are the sandy beaches of Rhyl, Prestatyn and Talacre. Castles? Of course there are a few nearby (you can’t go far in Wales without finding a castle…) Start in Denbigh (15 minutes’ drive), where you can also take a wander around the town’s ancient walls, then set your sights on family-friendly Bodelwyddan Castle (half an hour’s drive) and/or the imposing medieval fortress of Conwy Castle (45 minutes).
