  • 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.

Hazel J. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked It was a nice friendly site. Welcomed nicely by the owner in the shop/bar.
They lent me tent pegs, as I had forgotten mine they also had spare gas canisters itself anyone needed them.
They did a bbq and marshmallows on a Saturday, which was lovely, and invited people to feed the chickens and pigs.
There were pre planned spots for people to pitch their tent, which meant that there were spaces between the tents. Meaning that you had more privacy.
The grass was nicely trimmed.

Disliked Not a complaint, but it was a shame I couldn't park my car by the tent overnight, as it gives more privacy.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: glad you liked the uncut meadow between the pitches offering your own space and more privacy. we like a campsite full of free ranging kids not cars.

Would highly recommend!!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked Amazing campsite with everything needed and lovely owners! After pitching up, you leave your car in the designated car park, making it safer for children (and the roaming chickens). Saturday evening bonfire with large bamboo sticks, marshmallows and chocolate digestives supplied by the hosts for everyone to take part in making smores. The host was kind enough to show us the 5 day old chicks inside. Sunday morning we had the opportunity to feed the chickens, pigs and sheep. Very well kept and clean toilets, shower area and washing up area. Little seating area for food/drinks. Will be returning in a few weeks! Huge play park just a five minute walk around the corner! Thank you so much!

Disliked All amazing!!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked Animal feeding.
Spaced out pitches.
Beautiful view.
Friendly chickens roaming around.

Disliked The toilets are near the bar. Needed to shelter young ears from some of the conversations happening as the evening went on.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: the "would you like some of my sausage" comment was one camper genuinely offering to share his bbq with another camper that was using the communal bbq by the bar. the fact this comment made your partner snigger is beyond our control.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked This was our second stay at New Inn, and we’ve already booked our next visit—it’s that good! The hosts are truly exceptional, always going above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. They’re constantly enhancing the site, even though it already feels perfect. The pitches are incredibly spacious, the facilities are immaculate, and the overall experience is nothing short of a 10/10. A real gem for anyone seeking comfort, care, and a peaceful escape.

From the manager: good to see you again and look forward to welcoming you back in a couple of weeks

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large, no pets)

Liked Lee and Michaela are a lovely couple and so welcoming, they saved us twice when I needed hot water for my boys bottles and when my boyfriend’s car died on site. Michaela even went out of her way to make sure we had hot water for the bottles for the night. Site is kept clean including toilets and showers. Bar and little shop on site is great, a lot of space to camp so not over crowded feeling like your on top of each other. We enjoyed seeing and feeding the animals and loved the bonfire and marshmallows. It’s perfect for families, we didn’t have to worry about music being played late etc we loved it and definitely will be coming back.

Disliked Nothing to complain about it was perfect.

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

Liked First time campers. We will definitely be back. Our son loved feeding the animals on Saturday morning and melting marshmallow on the campfire. No WiFi so was great to not have devices on all the time.
Lovely fun friendly campsite. Loved that there was no light polution so we could see the stars and satellites. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a lovely stay.

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.
