  • 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

Great family campsite with loads of space and a chilled vibe. Lee and Michaela are super welcoming hosts. Kids love the bar, campfire marshmallows and feeding the farm animals. Toilets and showers are spotless. Beautiful, peaceful spot that keeps people coming back.

Non-electric grass campervan or trailer tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Quiet site. Friendly hosts. Bar/shop very useful. Free roaming chickens that happily came and sat with you. Toilets and showers set up. The little bits and bobs shelf with gas canisters, pegs etc that people can use if needed. Location.

Disliked Not so much a dislike as the showers were nicely done, but I personally found mine to be not hot enough for my liking, lukewarm at best.

Non-electric grass campervan or tent pitch (pet friendly)

Liked This is a long one for good reason- but i will start with: I felt genuinely sad to leave- I visited once previously a few years ago for my first ever camping experience and now I cant wait to come back, I hope to get a good few visits in next season! We have made core memories! New Inn has a feeling of home, definitely the best place I have stayed!

I stayed with my 9 year old son and 2 dogs (4th time ever camping, 2nd time doing it on my own with my son and the dogs). Immediately on arrival, we were made to feel welcome. Rach (one of the regular guests) helped with the dogs while I booked in etc. Lee and Michalea are the owners- the site itself is clean and tidy, well maintained toilets and showers (which are free and actually warm!). Nothing seems to be too much trouble. The bar is lovely- good variety, reasonable prices etc (pepsi max etc from the tap is just £1!!!). Cash and card payment accepted.

There are so many little extra touches, for example the numerous charger cables free to use which are situated right near the toilets/showers/bar and seem to charge ridiculously fast! Lee actually buys small gas bottles for customers to use if needed.

The animals- chickens (plenty), pigs and sheep! The sheep arent being fed by visitors etc at present, but me and my son were welcomed to join with feeding of the chickens and pigs- and we bought some freshly laid eggs to take home which are SO nice!!!

You can feel the passion from Lee and Michaela when you meet them- this isnt just a money maker, its a genuine love for what they do. Lee is a really interesting guy who will talk about anything and everything and has some interesting stories to tell!

We stayed on the dog friendly field which is just across the car park- there were 5 HUGE pitches on there, we stayed at the back corner pitch where there's a little bench. Everyone nearby was lovely- we've made friends in hope to stay in touch with.

Rach (previously mentioned regular guest) had a birthday on the day we left, we spent the afternoon sharing birthday cake and chatting with plenty of visitors and I can honestly say it just felt so comfortable.

There's plenty of space to walk around even just on site, we walked with our new friends to the local children's play park- there is a waterfall etc reasonably nearby (approx 20 min drive) but we didn't get chance to really go off site because we didn't feel the need!

THERE IS NO WIFI! Unfortunately, I made the mistake of letting my son bring his ipad, however when we return it will be a matter of enjoying what's around around us rather than being distracted by the usual rubbish on the iPad! It is so refreshing to not be attached to your phone and socialising with new people making memories! There was actually good signal on my phone all of the time- i never once had no signal when checking my phone so that's reassuring for people to know too!

There are a fair few certificates/awards the camp site has won on display in the bar- SO well deserved! Also available from the bar- coffee from a proper coffee machine, amenities such as pasta packets etc if youre caught short, snacks etc. I can not really think of anything missing from this place!

CAN NOT WAIT TO COME BACK! ROLL ON REOPENING IN 2027!

Disliked The great British summer weather- totally out of anyone's hands!

Unfortunately, and quite rightly so, Lee is currently unable to have his much anticipated bonfires, which is something I shall look forward to when we return- there's a lovely set up with large log stools to sit on all around the campfire fire area and on Saturday nights there's Marshmallow toasting to join in with!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked What didn’t we like - honestly, the best campsite we have been to and one we will definitely return to next camping season and be recommending to all our family & friends.

Right from arrival, we were given the warmest welcome by Lee and all of the chickens 🐓🥰 we were able to choose our own pitch which was perfect distance from the toilets and bar.

All facilities were super clean. The bar was a much appreciated bonus and the kids loved playing with the ‘Find It’ tubes.

My son was super proud of the recognition he got for his recycling skills ♻️ and both kids loved helping keep the chickens safe, putting them to bed for the night….then being able to help feed them and the pigs in the morning.

If you’re looking for a relaxed, rural, friendly and well located campsite, this is definitely for you….we have had tears at bedtime tonight because we’re back home - that says it all….get booking and go see for yourself 😊

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.
