  • Family-run farm with a dog-friendly site in Llandegla
  • On the Offa’s Dyke Path, 15 minutes’ drive from Llangollen
  • Walk to the village shop and café; mountain biking trails nearby
Wave hi to the gorgeous North Wales countryside, where Llyn Rhys Campsite will introduce you to outdoor pursuits in the Clwydian Range and horse-drawn canal boat rides at a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A 15-minute drive away from Llangollen and the UNESCO-listed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Llyn Rhys Campsite is on a family-run farm in Llandegla with easy access off the A5104. This is an excellent place to make your acquaintance with walking, biking and other outdoor pursuits. Five minutes’ drive away from the farm is a mountain biking trail centre with mountain biking, trail running and walking trails for all abilities and a café. Very conveniently, the Offa’s Dyke Path, tracing the Wales and England border, passes through the middle of the farm too. For other days out, ask the site to help you plan more walks, as there are plenty to choose from. Really, what a spot… Llyn Rhys Campsite is at the start of the Clwydian Range, a series of hills in northeast Wales running down to Prestatyn. The highest point is the popular Moel Famau, 25 minutes’ drive away. In the opposite direction, Llangollen is in the middle of the Dee Valley, where there are more stunning landscapes. In Llandegla Forest (15 minutes’ drive), the RSPB also organises nightjar and black grouse walks during the spring. This friendly site has well-maintained facilities including showers, toilets and a washing-up room. There’s plenty of space in the almost-flat fields, including for dogs. Campfires are welcome; rent a fire basket and buy some wood to set yourself up for a cosy eve. There’s wifi, a village shop and café 15 minutes’ walk away and four towns within driving distance for other supplies.

What customers say

Llyn Rhys Campsite offers lovely scenery, great views & a welcoming vibe. Guests rave about the spotless facilities, big pitches & friendly owners. Handy for local sights & walks. Some road noise & occasional sheep poo, but good value. Will return.

Liked We had a wonderful stay at Llyn Rhys campsite! The campsite itself is beautiful with great views of the mountains and surrounding fields. The facilities were always super clean and the pitches were nice and flat. The location was also great, it felt nicely in the middle of nowhere but there's a pub 5 min walk away, a lovely community cafe about 10 min walk away, access to the Offas Dyke path from the campsite, Llangollen is about a 20 minute drive via the beautiful Horseshoe Pass, Horseshoe falls and the Pontcysyllte aqueduct are also about 20 mins away by car. The best thing about the campsite is the lovely owner, Christine, who clearly puts so much effort in to make sure everyone had the best stay! Christine was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful in giving us ideas on what to do. Thank you!

Local attractions

Where might a five-minute drive get you? To fisheries, Llandegla Laser Combat and the Fauxdegla Shooting Ground for quick entertainment, perhaps. Llangollen (15 minutes' drive) is tempting too, whether for steam train trips and horse-drawn canal boats over the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct or festivals like the International Musical Eisteddfod, Llangollen Food Festival and Llangollen Fringe Festival. For urban action, Bala (35 minutes) is a historic market town with watersports activities and the Vale of Clwyd (from 15 minutes) has more historic market towns, including Ruthin, Denbigh and St Asaph. Catch a theatre show in Mold (20 minutes) or the footie in Wrexham (20 minutes), before hitting up the cities. Chester (35 minutes) has Roman walls, a cathedral, the Rows shopping street and a Roman amphitheatre, while Liverpool (an hour) has several Beatles locations to visit. At Zip World Fforest (50 minutes), you might conquer a fear or two on Europe’s highest swing and the 21 zipwires and rope bridges that make up their treetop adventure course.
