  • Peaceful family-run site on a working farm in Denbighshire
  • A 15-minute walk from the pub, shops and places to visit in Rhuddlan
  • Views of the Clwydian Range; a 10-minute drive from beaches
Birds singing, lambs baaing, cows mooing… it’s all about the wake-up calls at Abbey Farm Caravan and Camping, and it’s likely that even reluctant early risers will be keen to get up and about once those rural sounds start up. At this peaceful farm in the Denbighshire countryside, you’ll get a warm welcome from Rob and Celia, their children Lewis and Owen and friendly sheepdogs Buster and Jess. Take a stroll around and you’ll often spot free-range chickens wandering about the place too – they’re the ones that provide freshly laid eggs for sale each day. Surrounded by cows and sheep grazing, plus lovely views of the Clwydian Range, the site has a bit of history behind it, too: the farm’s location was once a Dominican friary, and you can still see remnants of that past in the abbey buildings. (Not often you get to stay at a field that’s part of a Scheduled Ancient Monument, right?) It’s the kind of place where families and couples can kick back and relax with simple facilities on hand, including three bathroom blocks (for toilets and showers), plus a utility area for washing-up, complete with a communal fridge and freezer. This should pique your interest too: the on-site farm shop (opening days vary) sells the farm's very own beef, lamb, pork and fresh farm eggs, as well as produce such as jams, chutneys, fresh bread, cakes, fruit and vegetables from suppliers across North Wales. Days out should also be easy enough, as there are main roads nearby, but you’ll face a choice: up to the coast for a beach day (10 minutes’ drive), or over to Snowdonia for hikes and other outdoor activities (40 minutes)? Getting out to handy amenities is also straightforward: it’s about a 10-minute walk to the lovely village of Rhuddlan for cafés, pubs and shops – plus a castle (this is Wales, after all).

What customers say

This is a ripper, well-kept campsite on a working farm. Campers rave about the super clean, modern facilities, especially the loos. Owners are always called friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The peaceful vibe, lovely country views, and farm animals add to the charm. It's a short walk to town, pubs, and shops. Most reviews are glowing, with only a few minor mentions of occasional noise and needing more loo paper.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Lovely well maintained site with very clean showers and toilets, a great vibe about the site with a large mix of generations and different people.
Friendly owner and very responsive.
The camp rules were well observed, we were a bit worried a party on site would go on late but they stopped and respected the camp curfew, it was great watching everyone having fun
There was a well stocked farm shop on site with fantastic sausages and great meats, ice cream, cheeses, did I mention the sausages?

The pitches were well spaced and well marked, electricity supply was easily within reach.

Disliked They ran out of sausages in the farm shop

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: This is my favourite review of the weekend😌thank you so much for the kind words and that you enjoyed your stay😁 Yes sorry about the sausages, we can’t believe how the sausages go😅 you’ll be very welcome back anytime and pop me a message before you do and I’ll keep some sausages for you🐷😁

Really enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked On the day we were checking in, i received a message telling me to just pull into any pitch of my choice. Really generous pitch sizes and well maintained toilet and shower blocks. In the three days I was there, we only spoke to the owner once and that was to ask if my neighbours were keeping quiet at night. Even the kids were well behaved

Disliked Nothing.

Liked Staff friendly. Toilets and showers very clean. Very close to castle.

Disliked Dogs roaming free. Leaving mess on grass and not getting picked up.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for your review and yes dogs should be kept on leads as we have chickens/alpacas that also like to wander onto site which people love to experience. We are sorry that you came across dog mess not being picked but we find your review score of 6 unfair as we would have dealt with this had you brought it to our attention the many times me or one of my family was on the site during your stay.

Local attractions

A stately home built in the 17th century, Bodrhyddan Hall (five minutes’ drive) is known for its manicured lawns and paths snaking through dense woodland. After a guided tour of the interior (which takes you past artworks, period furniture and an Egyptian mummy), stop for refreshments in the tea room. With its wide sandy beach and miniature railway, Rhyl (10 minutes) is a top destination for families. If the weather takes a turn for the worse, you can head to SC2 Rhyl, with an indoor waterpark, a ninja assault course and a soft-play area for younger kids, or to the SeaQuarium. Snow leopards, lemurs and brown bears are just some of the animals at Welsh Mountain Zoo (15 minutes). Other residents include exotic birds, reptiles and the furry and feathered guests at the Children’s Farm (rabbits, guinea pigs and ducks, among others). The park also has colourful gardens and woodland walks.
