  • Laidback 8.5-acre site in Bryneglwys village
  • 25 minutes' drive from Lake Bala; 40 minutes from Chester
  • Fresh eggs, friendly farm animals and a well-stocked outside bar
New Inn, a chilled site in a quiet corner of Denbighshire, is a fine place to bag a relaxed rural break. With its splendid views and outdoor bar, this popular little spot is within easy reach of attractions in and around Snowdonia, Chester and beyond. This peaceful park is 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.

From the manager: we don't advertise as having wifi as its far slower than the 35Mbps 4g available on every pitch.

Liked: Very friendly environment. Owner was really nice and made us feel more than welcome straight away would answer any co cerns and go above an beyond for his customers. Gorgeous views and an all round peacefully campsite. Would make sure everyone would turn there volume down around 11pm but without spoling anyone's fun keeping his whole camp happy. The kids favourite part was sitting by the campfire with the marshmallows all provided by the owner. Amazing experience and can't wait to come back

Primitive grass campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Everything! This is a gem of a find! Not too busy and loads of space for the kids to play. Leigh & Micaela are fantastic hosts who obviously love what they do. They’re great with the kids and the big kids alike. From feeding the animals to the big fire and marshmallow burning (sorry roasting) on a Saturday night, it’s the extra little bits (for free) that make it EVEN better. We’ve been there 3 times this year and we’ve taken loads of families with us too. Looking forward to next season.

Disliked: Finding that our tent leaked, although we can’t exactly blame the site for that!! At least the kids saw the fun of it and put their wellies on in the tent to splash. 🤣

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.
