  • Spacious touring pitches at a quiet Flintshire farm site
  • Chester and the North Wales coast both 20 minutes' drive away
  • Village less than a mile away for a shop, café and two pubs
Fancy some Flintshire fresh air, with the chance to mix your countryside days up with city and coast outings too? Set off to Sandy Lane Farm, home to a spacious touring site just outside the little village of Higher Kinnerton. This location, almost on the Wales/England border, is a nicely rural one, with a peaceful atmosphere on site but easy access to the village (less than a mile away) for a shop, a café, a post office and a couple of pubs. Mold and Wrexham are both about 20 minutes’ drive away on the Welsh side of the border, but the big urban day out around here is Chester, over in England but also about 20 minutes’ drive away. The surrounding countryside offers up all sorts of outdoor activities, including walks, watersports and highly scenic games of golf, and there's also the option of getting up to the coast for seaside walks and beach days. In between all these outings, you’ll be staying at a quiet dog-friendly site with spacious pitches and access to essential facilities including toilets, showers, a chemical disposal point and picnic tables for your outdoor meals.

What customers say

A quiet, tidy site with welcoming hosts and ample room. Great base for North Wales/Cheshire exploration, with pubs & shops nearby. Basic but clean facilities; some feel they need updating, and a single toilet/shower could be tight in busy periods. A few had access issues on arrival.

Liked The field is lovely.

Disliked This is not a campsite for tents. There are no washing up facilities. There is only one toilet, sink and shower in the same hut, which is mouldy and dirty and never any toilet roll. The price is very high considering these issues.

Liked This was my favorite campsite of a month long tour. A simple place. Everyone was very friendly, a nice atmosphere, relaxed and quiet. The grass was perfect, kids lived playing on it and laying on it. Fresh farm eggs were lovely. Kevin the sheep was the star of the show. Highly recommend.

Disliked Having only one toilet was a bit awkward some mornings!

Liked Nothing we didn’t stay

Disliked Everything. We never got on to the site the gates were closed and there was no answer when we called the number and we called several times
We were left with no where to stay
Furious as we had paid for a site and ended up having to stay in a car park which was not very safe at all

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: the gates to site are never locked, they are closed for security of guests and animals, if they were how would guests get in and out, and secondly the day in question, my wife had broke her leg and we were in A and E TILL 11.30 THAT NIGHT , SO THERE WAS NO WAY WE COULD ANSWER THE HOUSE PHONE

Personally not for me ..

Liked Large field, friendly owners

Disliked Facilities .. one room with shower and toilet, it was described as basic by the owner which I don't mind but it wasn't very clean, full of cobwebs and I didn't use them at all.

Local attractions

Being only a few miles from Chester (20 minutes’ drive) brings with it all sorts of excellent options for days out, including city walks around the cathedral and city walls (the oldest and most complete in Britain and then the chance to see it all in brightly coloured miniature at Chester in Lego. A little way outside the city centre are Chester Racecourse, Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks and the popular Chester Zoo. Back out in the countryside, there are plenty of great places for walks, including Alyn Waters Country Park (15 minutes) or Nercwys Forest (25 minutes), and some fun activities like axe throwing, paddleboarding and art workshops at Park in the Past (10 minutes). Rack and Ruin Alpacas (20 minutes) is another lovely local spot, offering the chance to take a woolly friend for a walk. The North Wales coast isn’t far off, either, so you might like to head over there for a day at the beach in Rhyl (40 minutes), stopping off at waterside Flint Castle (20 minutes) on the way.
