  • 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, tent or trailer tent pitch (pet friendly)

Liked Wow, what can I say about this site!
Hosts are amazing, so friendly and nothing is too much trouble from the moment you arrive through the gate.
Pitches have been really well thought out with space in between so you're not right on top of the next tent. Car can be driven to your pitch while you unload and blow air beds and the likes up but then you are asked to park your car on the car park. Why, some may ask well it's a family site and Michala and Lee keep chickens which are extremely friendly and like to wonder the site!
The toilet block, showers and general site are lovely, extremely clean and well stocked with an on site bar!!
Personally I booked for 2 nights for my lad and I, neither of us wanted to come home so we didn't and were lucky enough to stay for 4 nights... Gutted we will have to leave but we WILL be regular returning customers.
Oh did I mention they also have pigs and sheep too!!
My lad and I couldn't have asked for a better time away, yes we even got the weather, a full moon and meteor shower as the sky is that uninterrupted.
1000% you would not regret booking a stay at New Inn with hosts Michala and Lee.

Disliked We had to eventually leave 😭

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

Liked New Inn has a lovely atmosphere emphasising everything wonderful about camping without trying to squash in as many people as possible. Just the right size to feel like you’re getting away from it all but still with other families for kids for to get to know and play. Amenities are well organized and kept clean. Great location for visiting lots of what Wales has to offer. The owners are friendly and very much present and hands on which is lovely to see and take the kids to feed the chickens, pigs and sheep as well as put on a bonfire for marshmallows. They are generous with their time and effort. The bar/shop is well run and very reasonably priced.

From the manager: Thanks for the great review but, mate, you need to watch 'Wayne's World', because pretty soon she is going to be buying you a gun rack!

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.
