  • Peaceful rural park in St Asaph
  • Four miles from the beaches and funfairs of Rhyl and Prestatyn
  • Excellently-kept amenities and plenty of tourist info on site
Did you know that - thanks to the Diamond Jubilee of good Queen Lilibet - that UK got three brand new cities in 2012? One of the newbies, St Asaph in Denbighshire, is home to just three thousand people if you’re curious about this tiny gem, come to Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park, where you’ll be perfectly placed to join in any right royal knees-up that might still be going on in St Asaph, and to visit the classic Welsh coastal resorts of Prestatyn and Rhyl. Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park is a peaceful rural site with well-kept pitches and with amenities kept to high standards by the friendly helpful team.There’s a great range of tourist information available on site to help you make the most of the local area. You’ll find a handful of shops, including a convenience store, butcher and chemist in the nearby village of Dyserth (don’t miss out on a stop at the stunning Dyserth waterfalls while you’re there).

Power optional grass tent campsite (large)

Liked: Staff really welcoming and explained everything so well. Perfect countryside gem that is perfectly situated. Bathrooms and shows always clean and modern which was amazing. Well kept grounds and the rally field was a good size so didn’t feel over crowded. Very well priced.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike apart from a cockerel squeaking on in the early hours but that is countryside life and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Liked: Beautiful scenery Clean Tidy Near local attractions Shops not too far

Disliked: No camp fires even in raised bbq Said it was free WiFi, then said a charge...no WiFi available Check out was 10.30 not advertised time of 12 noon

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We do not usually reply to these reviews but as all your information is incorrect we will. Check out clearly states 10.30AM on pitchup.com and our own website. We do not advertise any sort of WIFI (free or chargeable) anywhere. As for fires, we state NO FIRES, on pitchup.com and many different places whilst visiting the site e.g. in the office we have 2 very large signs, the entrance to the camping field and other places around the camp site. So if you are the man that was asked to put out his fire on Saturday night, that may i add was smoking out the whole park, we are very glad you will not return as you are not welcome.

Excellent second time we have visited & sure we will book again

Local attractions

For families, the safe sandy beaches, funfairs and plentiful tourist attractions of Rhyl and Prestatyn - just four miles away - will no doubt be top of the list. The attractive seaside resorts of Llandudno and Colwyn Bay are also within an easy drive. Fishing fans can try the trout farm ten minutes up the road from Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park, or head into St Asaph to fish the River Elwy; walkers can saunter through a superb selection of scenery, including nearby Offa’s Dyke, or drive to Snowdonia National Park and hike the mountains and lakes; and golfers will also find that this area suits them to a tee, with a huge choice of courses including Caerwys, Meliden, Rhuddlan, Rhyl, Holywell and Prestatyn. Other top picks for sightseeing include the village of Betws-Y-Coed and the neighbouring Swallow Falls; the imposing remains of Rhuddlan Castle; and seventeenth century Bodrhyddan Hall, where a 3,000-year-old mummy lurks among the armour and period furniture...
