  • 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 (motorcyclist, solo, no pets)

Liked Lovely friendly camp site, that had everything you need.

Disliked I booked late and arrived late and the campsite was very full so I ended up camping near a road.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: No, you arrived late after booking a solo motorcyclist pitch, in a car with a bigger tent than would fit on those pitches.
Rather than turn you away we found you a space we would not normally use because it's near a road. This was your error so rather than leave negative comments in a review try owning your mistakes.

A great family run camp site, with lovely owners and great services

Non-electric grass tent pitch (motorcyclist, solo, no pets)

Liked Lee and his team were very friendly and welcoming. I really liked the outdoor bar area, where guests would gather and mingle - the drink was good and very low prices. I also liked the fact that the whole site is focused on customers enjoying their stay and making it fun and affordable for kids - feeding the chickens and having free ice-pops were small gestures that go a long way.

Disliked Nothing really... I can imagine some customers with "high standards" wouldn't like the toilets, showers and kitchen area, but this is back-to-basics camping, so if they are willing to recognise that and accept the authenticity of the site, then they will enjoy it as much as we did - that's what we paid for and expected.

Liked A very quiet and clean site, and the bar was great. An added bonus was having fresh eggs each morning.

My son loved helping Lee feed the chickens and pigs, and can't wait to come back.

Liked Friendly owner

Ok for one night

Disliked Being out the front on some grass next to the car park. This was noisy next to the road, not secure and we felt disconnected from the site. We did not know we’d be put here because we have a dog.

The play area - it is a good 20/25 minute walk from the site and shouldn’t be listed as a facility in my opinion. I use the park facility to filter our results. We didn’t use it in the end as gave up walking after 20 minutes and still hadn’t reached it.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: A 20/25 minute walk? Were you hopping or crawling? It's a 3 minute walk through beautiful Welsh countryside - me thinks you got lost, which I would consider quite the achievement!

Great value beautiful site.

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

Liked Friendly, helpful staff, spacious pitch. Relaxed quiet site. I liked that the outdoor bar was supported by local people not just campers. I enjoyed meeting one or two other lone campers at the fire pit. Facilities were immaculate and everything I needed. Lovely farm site great for families and remote but handy for the little village.

Disliked Absolutely nothing! I hope to be back.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Everything about the place is amazing. It’s really accommodating, and the owners are genuinely helpful, friendly, and welcoming. They’re always around if you need anything, or if you want advice about anything at all. The pitches are a great size, the toilets are accessible, and the showers are a real asset too.

We’re returning customers, and we’ve tried other campsites before, but it just wasn’t a match for New Inn. We knew it wouldn’t be right, and the owners made the difference. We’ll always go with our instinct and stick with what we know will be a great camping holiday for our family.

The campsite is large, but it’s still easy to navigate. There’s also the option to help out with feeding the chickens and pigs, which our children absolutely loved. A big bonus is that you can get fresh laid eggs for breakfast. You can place an order, and Lee will put them aside for you, which makes mornings so much easier.

This stay was even better than last time. It helped us remember just how much we love the place and why we come back again and again. We arrived with a few problems with our set up and we’d forgotten a few items, but Lee sorted us out straight away. Nothing was too much trouble, and he really does accommodate and find ways to help, even when it’s something that’s our own fault. The coffee machine was honestly a lifesaver for me this time, because I really needed my caffeine fix of lattes, and I loved having fresh options available instead of waiting for my own hot drink to brew.

Honestly, this is a hand-on-heart review. If you love camping and you’re travelling with a young family, this is the place to go. There’s plenty to do on site, and there are also great trails and nearby villages to explore, plus there’s a playground close by too. We can’t wait to come back, we’ve already booked again for in 10 days time.


Thank you Lee and everyone else for your hospitality and support and see you soon - Larkin Family (Kelly, Gary, Jayden, Jakob, Ariella and Lee, Rachel and Roman)

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.
