  • 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 (large)

Liked: Was very family friendly for young kids who enjoyed the animals and my teenager enjoyed it too! Saturday night they lit the camp fire and the kids all had marshmallows and hot chocolate. Loved the community feel to this camp site everyone was so friendly and helpful. The tent pitches where a good size and were spread out so you didn't feel at all cramed in.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: Brilliant little site at a bargain! Lee & Mikalaya are great hosts, very friendly and always laughing. Managed to fit me in for an extra night at a late request. The site itself is setup so you can pretty much relax asap. Free clean wash and toilet facilities, Airline to blow up beds, phone charging and wood available to purchase, You can drive your car up to your pitch to offload and then park in the designated spaces away from the camping. Fire pits given out to enjoy on your own pitch or get round the communal one and meet some of the friendly regulars of which there seems to be many. Great little bar and social atmosphere and a lovely little walk over the mountain into llangollen which is very scenic . Great for solo travellers and families alike. Pre warning, I will be back. - Mike

Liked: A really lovely site, with very friendly owners. Stayed for 2 nights with my kids and we all had a great time. My son loved feeding the chickens, roasting marshmallows and having plenty of freedom to run around. I loved having a nice cold beer at the Wobbly Dog and the fabulously starry night sky. Lots of nice touches from the owners at this site and whole place has a wonderfully relaxed vibe. We will be back.

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.
