  • 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

Welcoming site with spacious, well-kept spots. Guests rave about friendly owners, clean facilities, and relaxed vibe. Highlights: animal feeding, campfires, on-site bar. Great for families; kids have safe play areas. Free-roaming chickens a hit! Minor points on toilet location and rustic facilities, but overwhelmingly positive with many eager to return.

Primitive grass tent campsite (no pets)

Liked We’ve just come back from the most amazing stay at this campsite and honestly can’t recommend it enough. From the moment we arrived, the couple who own and run the place made us feel so welcome. They are genuinely some of the nicest people we’ve met! always happy to help, always having a laugh, and they’ve created such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The campsite itself is brilliant. Everything is kept really clean and tidy, and the facilities are awesome. You can tell a lot of care and effort goes into keeping the place running smoothly. One of our favourite parts was the little honesty bar with really cheap drinks, which was perfect after a long day relaxing outdoors.

There’s so much character around the site too. The chickens roaming freely around the campsite were such a lovely touch, and being able to buy fresh eggs from them made the whole experience feel even more special. The animals were a huge highlight for us. Lee and Mckayla keep sheep and pigs, which added such a fun and peaceful countryside vibe.

We also loved the campsite fire setup. They provide campsites/fire pits to rent and all you need to pay for is the wood, which makes evenings around the fire super easy and affordable. Not only this, you can borrow gas for stoves, stoves to use, BBQ raises available, essentials you may have forgotten, shower gel, tooth brush / paste! Sweets, snacks, free ice pops for kids! (And big kids) it’s just been utterly amazing. There’s a freezer you’re allowed to use, switch out ice packs as and when and charger facilities too!

The whole place just has such a warm, welcoming feel that makes it really hard to leave. It’s the kind of campsite you instantly start planning to come back to before you’ve even packed up the tent.
Thank you again for such a brilliant stay we’ll definitely be returning soon!

Primitive grass campervan or trailer tent campsite (no pets)

Liked Great place, with amazing owners and lovely people.

Very family oriented, zero rubbish floating about and an overwhelming respect for the environment and recycling.

We loved feeding the animals, walking with the dogs and meeting new friends, we hope to be back soon.

Liked Love the New Inn, always feel welcomed whenever we go. The site owners are very friendly, and always there if you need any help. Pitches are spaced out and nicely set up with the grass left longer to map them out. Bar on site is very reasonably priced, and a good selection… enjoyed the peace and quiet of the site. Toilets and shower always clean, never too busy. Ice pops on the hot bank holiday was an excellent bonus! Will be back before the seasons over.

Liked Owners very friendly. Easy to find. Basic toilets but clean. Nice bar area. Good price.

Disliked Only a personal preference but prefer fewer children, but great if you have got them with you.

From the manager: You do realise you stayed with us during the school holidays??? If you don't like children maybe you should have planned you camping trip a bit better.

Great for young kids

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.
