  • Peaceful rural park in St Asaph
  • Four miles from the beaches and funfairs of Rhyl and Prestatyn
  • Excellently-kept amenities and plenty of tourist info on site
Did you know that - thanks to the Diamond Jubilee of good Queen Lilibet - that UK got three brand new cities in 2012? One of the newbies, St Asaph in Denbighshire, is home to just three thousand people if you’re curious about this tiny gem, come to Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park, where you’ll be perfectly placed to join in any right royal knees-up that might still be going on in St Asaph, and to visit the classic Welsh coastal resorts of Prestatyn and Rhyl. Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park is a peaceful rural site with well-kept pitches and with amenities kept to high standards by the friendly helpful team.There’s a great range of tourist information available on site to help you make the most of the local area. You’ll find a handful of shops, including a convenience store, butcher and chemist in the nearby village of Dyserth (don’t miss out on a stop at the stunning Dyserth waterfalls while you’re there).

This is a very clean, well-maintained, and peaceful site with friendly, helpful staff. Pitches are generally spacious and level. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are consistently praised for their cleanliness. The location is convenient for exploring North Wales. Some guests noted a lack of on-site facilities for children and occasional noise from other campers.

David L.

Electric optional grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Flat pitch, good location. Fairly easy to find and accessible. Close to main road, so good for visiting tourist attractions and beaches. Warm and powerful showers.

Disliked Toilet block was not kept to standard during our stay: hand soap wasn’t refilled, hand towel dispenser wasn’t refilled, hand dryer was not working at times, and only two of the three cubicles had toilet roll.
I did send an email (out of hours) but didn’t receive a response. Not a show stopper, but I’d expect someone to inspect and resource these things daily, especially during the holiday season.

Darren D.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Absolutely brilliant camp site,definitely a hidden gem, my son and I loved our stay there,everyone was helpful and friendly including the other campers. Facilities were clean and tidy,I really can't fault the place at all. Pitches were level and freshly mowed.Lots of places nearby to go,waterfalls Ryhl and Prestatyn beaches are a short drive away.

Disliked Very slight traffic noise from the motorways in the distance, it didn't bother me or my son but I could understand how some people might not like it,so if you are that way inclined earplugs would be useful.

Victoria P.

Electric optional grass tent pitch

Liked Peaceful. Great location for going off on adventures/exploring.

Disliked Could be done with a little shop. For campers who don’t use fridges, not having fresh milk handy on a morning was hard when I love my brews (the heat sent milk sour quickly but no where to buy fresh on site on a morning).

Excellent site, worth every penny and we will return, thankyou

Electric optional grass tent pitch (large)

Liked Reception staff were great checked us in very fast and shown us where the facilities were. The grounds are immaculate, the tent pitches are perfect, nice and level and there is plenty of room, we used a large 9 birth tent and had loads of room. The toilet, showers and washing up areas/facilities were pristine for our whole stay.

Disliked Nothing at all.

Local attractions

For families, the safe sandy beaches, funfairs and plentiful tourist attractions of Rhyl and Prestatyn - just four miles away - will no doubt be top of the list. The attractive seaside resorts of Llandudno and Colwyn Bay are also within an easy drive. Fishing fans can try the trout farm ten minutes up the road from Penisar Mynydd Caravan Park, or head into St Asaph to fish the River Elwy; walkers can saunter through a superb selection of scenery, including nearby Offa’s Dyke, or drive to Snowdonia National Park and hike the mountains and lakes; and golfers will also find that this area suits them to a tee, with a huge choice of courses including Caerwys, Meliden, Rhuddlan, Rhyl, Holywell and Prestatyn. Other top picks for sightseeing include the village of Betws-Y-Coed and the neighbouring Swallow Falls; the imposing remains of Rhuddlan Castle; and seventeenth century Bodrhyddan Hall, where a 3,000-year-old mummy lurks among the armour and period furniture...
