  • Laidback 8.5-acre site in Bryneglwys village
  • 25 minutes' drive from Lake Bala; 40 minutes from Chester
  • Fresh eggs, friendly farm animals and a well-stocked outside bar
New Inn, a chilled site in a quiet corner of Denbighshire, is a fine place to bag a relaxed rural break. With its splendid views and outdoor bar, this popular little spot is within easy reach of attractions in and around Snowdonia, Chester and beyond. This peaceful park is 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: Great campsite for our young family, we were made to feel very welcome upon arrival, hosts were very accommodating and great with our 5 and 4 year old girls, they had the best time feeding the animals and making lots of friends with the other children that were on the site, would highly recommend and will be back no doubt!

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: We have been coming to the New Inn for a few years now! Leigh and Michaela are great owners and will do everything to make sure everybody is enjoying themselves. The campsite is friendly, peaceful, not cramped pitches, toilets are perfect and showers are the best I’ve ever known for a campsite! The bar is a bonus and a camp fire with logs available to top it all off! Chickens wandering round in the day and can go and see the pigs and sheep too - this campsite is a hidden gem! See you next time :)

Liked: Lovely spaced out pitches, quiet site, great scenery, good facilities, an enthusiastically helpful host and a bar!! Do you need anything else?? Great for families, with chickens to feed and eggs to collect. A communal fire area with free marshmallows for all.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: Owners were fabulous - very welcoming and friendly, stayed up with them and had a few drinks was great - showers and toilets kept very clean and tidy - loads of spare gear in case you've forgot something - fresh egg from the hens on the site £1 for half dozen. Site itself was nice and peaceful.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (large)

Liked: Amazing camp site and perfect for little kids. The chickens that roam about are fun to see and the kids were able to feed them (as well as the pigs and sheep!). Campsite is very clean and has everything you could need, (including a bar with draft beer!) Owners are very nice people and welcoming, they have created a really nice space for everyone to enjoy the outdoors. I would highly recommend this site!

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.
