What customers say
This campsite gets rave reviews for its super friendly, helpful staff, spotless facilities, and lovely, tree-filled grounds. It's conveniently located near shops and pubs, making it a great spot for exploring. While usually quiet, some guests heard traffic noise from the main road. Most pitches are roomy, but a few were a bit close or uneven.

Liked Very friendly owners! Greeted quickly, signed in and taken to our pitch. Campsite kept very clean and toilets constantly stocked. The location is perfect and we will definitely be returning.

Brilliant
Primitive grass campsite
Liked The friendly welcome, staff absolutely lovely. The fact we were given two huge pitches to be with our friends in a motorhome (we were in a tent) so way more flexible and laid back than many campsites. Stunning views and clean facilities of all the basics. Situated perfectly for a stroll into Ruabon with a costa/Aldi literally on the doorstep
Disliked Road noise, can’t be helped, but be aware

Shithole
Primitive grass campsite
Liked Nothing
Disliked Campsite is right against a main road so the noise is unbearable all night, for the price the facility’s are some of the worst I’ve experienced, I would not recommend this place to anyone

Powered grass campsite
Liked Site was a lovely site and very clean
Toilets and showers were spotless
Most staff were friendly
Disliked Not very child friendly
Kids not allowed bikes/scooters anywhere on site which isn’t stated on campsite rules on the website although we were informed by quite abrupt man to read the rules! The only time this was visible was on the map we were given upon arrival!
Kids not allowed to play with ball on site except in small recreational area
Site more suitable for adults staying without children
Electric cables with connections on show in middle of field which we felt was very unsafe given we had 7 children’s with us!

THERE’S NO WIFI!!!
FHU cement/asphalt campsite
Liked The wardens.
Clean toilets (that are cleaned by the lovely wardens!)
Disliked Nearly everything!!
Be warned…….THERE ISNT ANY WIFI.
We run a holiday let and need WiFi for any bookings we get. It’s doesn’t say anywhere that there isn’t any so we had to spend a fortune everyday going into a nearby Costa to get WiFi!!
It has the potential to be a beautiful site but it’s really, really shabby.
Tv reception is rubbish too, don’t know if that’s the case with all pitches but where we were it was awful.
So we’ve put it down to experience. After more than 35 years caravanning there haven’t really been any sites that we said we won’t go back to, but this takes the award of never to return to.
There is also a lot of road noise that they do warn you about,but because it’s such a constant noise tbh you do get used to it.
