  • 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.

Top spot! Super friendly owners, clean facilities, spacious sites. Great for families with animal feeding & campfires. Beautiful views, can be a bit breezy. Lots of return visits prove it's a cracker.

Mike R.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site (pet friendly)

Liked We first stayed here the day they opened when they provided a welcome relief from the grind of Covid (if you know where to look you can still see the gel bottle holders!). It great to see how they have expended, both in terms of pitches, facilities and how many of their original ideas have actually come to fruition.

Everything you need is here, but if you want a sterilised "no dirt" outdoors experience, then go elsewhere. This is for people who realise that grass grows long (the owners allow it to flourish between pitches to give you your own space), chickens will wonder, and that children love to feed pigs squishy bananas!

Ps - 10 stars for WiFI, Because it doesn't have any!

Unpowered grass tent site (large, no pets)

Liked Chickens and animal feeding is absolutely one of the most attractive things there. Very nice owners (extremely patient Lee 😎, who answer for all my children's questions). Beautiful views and cosy pitch in general. Also s'mores with a huge fire. 😍 We were there three times this year. 😍

Unpowered grass campervan or trailer tent site (no pets)

Liked I babysat my niece last night and decided to bring her here instead - best decision ever. Friendly, helpful owners - couldn’t do enough - from the bonfire to taking the kids en masse to feed the chickens, pigs and sheep. Proper back to basics fun - the kids made friends and played until after dark - not a device in sight! The friendly chickens were an added bonus as they kept me company after my niece deserted me!

Unpowered grass tent site (large, no pets)

Liked Me and my wife loved this site. Large pitches for tents. Wash facilities showers toilets. logs and log burners on site. Ideal location 30mins drive to Bala Lake which is absolutely stunning a must see. Betws -y-coed 50mins drive well worth a trip. Highly recommended site which caterers for all your needs.

Disliked Nothing to dislike about this site the owners have done a great job and are very happy to help you with anything that you need.

Liked Really good campsite !
Good size pitches. We had separate one for dogs which was amazing as our little jack Russel can be nervous when it's noisy. Bar on site.
Spotless toilets and hot showers ! Charging point very useful.
Really nice owners always stoped and have a chat 🙂
We would definitely come back!
Thank you for having us !

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.
