  • 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, no pets)

Liked: The space between pitches which were clearly marked out. The free range chickens which are usually close by whenever food is around 😂The bar serving cold beer on a very hot weekend and most of all the extremely tasty eggs those proper free range chickens laid 😁

Disliked: I can’t think of anything I disliked at all 😊

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

Liked: Gosh,
Me & my friend both work busy, demanding jobs, this camping experience felt like it breathed life into us again.
From the moment we arrived, Lee and Mikalaya greeted us with such warm, positive energy—it really set the tone for our whole trip. The Wobbly Dog outdoor bar was the perfect cozy spot on a rainy night, and chatting with other campers (and our lovely hosts) made it feel like we were part of a little community.

Meeting the farm animals was a highlight—getting to feed them was such a fun bonus! The campsite itself was clean, well-kept, and had lovely pitches. We couldn’t be happier with our choice and will definitely be back again!
Fave campsite we have stayed at so far! ✌️

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.
