  • 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked The host, Leigh is really helpful, always up for chat. The campsite is clean & well run. and it's brilliant value for money!
The loos are are more spacious than others I've come across. When I stayed there were many families with young kids, who loved the free range chickens on site. Leigh does run an outside bar selling very welcome refreshing drinks. I'd love to return for longer next time!

We will definitely be back again

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Everything ! 2nd time coming to this campsite, the owners are amazing! Great with the kids so friendly and helpful. Kids loved the freedom and it’s got a very safe vibe. From the feeding of the chickens the pigs. The little bar is great for adults! Free ice pops for the kids.. the man also put the sprinkler on and the kids played for a good hour running through it in the heat.. will be returning hopefully this summer.

Disliked Nothing to dislike about it..

Liked The welcoming people, cosy atmosphere, on site chickens, the outdoor bar provided a lovely hubub of sound. Children joyously rampaging around with chickens and dogs.

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.
