  • Spacious and peaceful site with sea views in north Wales
  • A 10-minute drive from Talacre beach and 20 minutes from Rhyl
  • Within an hour's drive of ski centre, Surf Snowdonia and Zip World
Whopping big fields and phenomenal views in Flintshire? Whoop a big yes please to Ynyshir Farm, a small but supremely spacious site with sea vistas, 10 minutes’ drive from Talacre on the north Wales coast. Look one way towards the Dee Estuary and the Irish Sea; look the other and it’s all green fields giving way to hills and the mountains of Snowdonia beyond… this really is a cracking spot. Being on a former farm, there’s bags of space to stretch out and run about… or stretch out and do nothing, except watching the clouds scudding across the sky or the sun setting over the waves… Firepits are available to hire for outdoor cookouts and late-night natters: bring the dog along to sit around the fire too, as they'll be made most welcome on site. They’re welcome too on Talacre beach 10 minutes’ drive away, where shifting dunes, wide sands and a 17th-century lighthouse make a mighty good introduction to the area. If you like a livelier seaside experience, then Rhyl, with its amusements and aquarium, miniature railway and botanical gardens is 20 minutes away.

What customers say

Brilliant campsite, great views, spacious spots. Clean, modern ablutions get a thumbs up. Peaceful, family-friendly, close to beaches. Some find it a bit pricey, with occasional noise or staff shortages when busy.

Lorna J.

Non-electric grass campervan, trailer tent or tent pitch

Liked The view, the immaculate grounds, facilities & management.

When trying to book we had problems with the booking website. We rang the number provided and our problem was resolved quickly & cheerfully.

Our stay was exactly what we had hoped for & more. The facilities, the cleanliness of the whole site & very well maintained camping fields.

Thank you Ynyshir- we will be seeing you very soon & have already recommended the site to family & friends.

Non-electric grass campervan, trailer tent or tent pitch

Liked We don’t camp much and used this site to see if it was something we would do more of and what a site to start. Perfect views enough space to spread out without feeling to close to others. Peaceful, clean. Kitchen area to clean dishes. Clean showers. Just relaxed environment. Hope to be back sooner rather than later. Thank you.

David J.

Non-electric grass campervan, trailer tent or tent pitch

Liked View, location

Facilities block was clean throughout our stay

Disliked Unfortunately our 1st camping experience with our two boys was ruined by another camping party.

We arrived at 1pm and set up our tent before visiting the local area. When setting our tent up we made sure to stay a suitable distance from other campers as there was plenty of space on the camping fields.

Unfortunately a fellow set of campers didn't give us the same courtesy when they arrived while we were out. We returned to see a tent right next ours to extent that our guidropes were crossed, their tent was also blocking entry into our tent on one side ( luckily we still have a door on the opposite side).

While using the facilities we were pleased to notice rule board which stated the site operated a quiet site policy after 9:30pm Unfortunately the camping party situated right next to us didn't abide by these rules and stayed sat outside drinking and chatting and laughing until 2:50am. They made no effort to be quiet at any point despite the site rules or even just out of respect having pitched themselves right next to a family with children. I get that everyone will come camping to have a different experience however out of respect for fellow campers if I planned to be up drinking till 3am I would position myself away from others - and there was plenty of space for them to do this.

I have given a low scoring review as I feel the owners of site have allowed this to happen. We did not see anyone from site ownership/wardens during our stay (check in is done over the phone, no information regarding rules etc is given at this point) so I don't understand the point of having rules if they are not going to be enforced. Given the price of the site at the higher end of the scale as well I would of maybe expected abit more thought going into campers experiences ie, maybe a simple leaflet explaining site etiquette and rules given to each camping party. A small step that could improve the experience and make sure people are aware of the rules.

We have also taken some learning from this experience and in future would look for sites that only cater to families.

From the manager: As a grown man , I feel embarrassed that a family man like yourself, although complimentary about the site and facilities, blames me for your neighbours volume.

You have no comprehension how difficult it is to maintain the site, ensure shower rooms are immaculate and rubbish collected. Your score of 3 negates what we try and provide at Ynyshir.

I hope you're not so judgemental of your kids as they mature as you have been of my business.

Look forward to not seeing you or people similar to you ever.

Lovely campsite, really nice and clean

Local attractions

Forever being invaded and defended, it’s castle country round here: 12th-century Denbigh Castle (20 minutes' drive) is at the ghostly ruin end of the scale, while mighty Conwy (40 minutes) looks like it’s still ready to see off a rebel army. If you’re into active stuff, try whizzing down the slopes of Llandudno Ski and Snowboard Centre (40 minutes), riding the waves on Surf Snowdonia’s ingeniously choppy practice lake (50 minutes), or whizzing at great height and velocity down the wires at Zip World Fforest and Penrhyn Quarry, both an hour away. Brought your walking boots? There’s an easy but rewarding trail to the waterfall at Dyserth,10 minutes away; for longer wanders in Snowdonia National Park, it’s an hour’s journey to the start of trails up Carnedd Llewelyn and to Aber Falls. (If you want the heights without straining the hooves, loaf over to Llanberis, an hour away and take the Snowdon Mountain Railway to the top of Wales’ highest peak; you could always walk back down…) If you like a bit of wildlife with your walks, trips up and around the Great Orme headland just above Llandudno (40 minutes) are often likely to be accompanied by sightings of sea birds and even seagoing porpoises. If you want to meet some more exotic beasts close up, it’s a similar distance to the sea lions, sea eagles and Sumatran tigers of the Welsh Mountain Zoo.
