  • 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 campervan or tent pitch (pet friendly)

Liked Urmmm the chickens for the kids

Disliked Honest Review

Unfortunately, this campsite just wasn’t for us. It is situated very close to a very busy and noisy road, which we didn’t feel was particularly safe or suitable for young children.

There was no lighting around our pitch and no water nearby, which made things difficult, especially with children. We also wouldn’t personally describe it as a farm. There were a few chickens and a pig, although we didn’t actually see the pig during our stay.

The bar was very busy and quite noisy, and it seemed more geared towards locals and friends of the owners rather than families staying on the campsite. There also wasn’t anything nearby for children or much on-site to entertain them.

We decided to leave a day early. To be fair, we raise our concerns in the morning and packed up, the owners were very kind and gave us a full refund and also provided us with some water, which we really appreciated.

It’s such a shame because the site has great potential, but unfortunately, for our family and what we were looking for from a camping trip, it just wasn’t the right fit.

From the manager: NOT an entirely honest review.

On arrival you extended your stay by 2 nights saying you were very happy with the situation, then your friend turned up who complained about absolutely everything from the moment she arrived. Nothing we did was good enough for her and I think she talked you all into leaving early.

Yes, the bar does get busy but closes at 10.30 p.m., and why the demographic of who's using the bar bears any relevance to your stay is beyond me.

We provided you with a case of 24 bottles of water free of charge which is more than 'some', and you were told if you needed more to let us know and we would deliver it to your pitch. You were also given a full refund when you told me you weren't happy, which was a gesture of goodwill as you were not entitled to it.

We have many, many happy customers and over 300 hundred 10 out of 10 reviews, this is clearly a you problem not an us problem. Mala leche!!

Friendly owners. Generosity of spirit.…

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

Liked We absolutely loved The New Inn and have already recommended the campsite to another 3 families. The little touches are wonderful. The owners Michaela and Lee are SO helpful and welcoming. If feels so peaceful and such a family friendly site. The facilities are great, everything you need in a campsite and more. We will miss morning coffees on the veranda and feeding the chickens, but mostly the kids will miss the family site dogs, Mackrell and Bisicuit.

There is a park just a short 5 minute walk away and a lovely little village with a community kitchen. But really except visiting the outstanding views nearby, we had no reason to leave this stunning place.

Pitches are huge, and we had the pitch featuring "the bear and the bench" which we absolutely loved.

We have already created a family tradition.. to make sure we visit this campsite atleast once every year!!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Very friendly staff. And well maintained facilities.

Disliked The owner kept asking for people to have their dogs on leads but then did not have their own dogs on leads which did cause stress to some with the interactions

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The owner (me) trains working gundogs. My dog though only 10 months old has perfect recall and is always under close control. She is great with kids (in fact a lot of them ask me to let her out so they can throw a ball for her). What makes you think you can dictate what happens on my property with my animals? I see you ticked the I would visit again tab, afraid not mate, I've blocked your details.

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.

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.
