  • Well-kept rural Denbighshire site raising money for charity
  • A 10-minute drive to the beaches of Rhyl and Prestatyn
  • Catering on site from Friday eve to Sunday morning
Want to book yourself a break and do some good for the world at the same time? What an excellent idea – and one that you can bring to reality when you stay at Pet Rescue Fundraising Camp Site, a five-acre site in the Denbighshire countryside just outside the village of Dyserth. Profits from stays go towards funding a pet rescue charity centre, so perhaps it’s no surprise that dogs are welcome to join you for a little holiday here. Doggy daycare is available for those who need it, and all dogs must be kept on a lead and supervised at all times (and you’ll need proof of up-to-date vaccinations for your pet to stay on site to ensure that all pets on site, including the site's rescue pets, stay protected from illness). This location makes a splendid spot for exploring north Wales – a cycle path runs past the entrance with a link to the North Wales Coastal Route, and there are plenty of walks around too. Rhyl and Prestatyn are both about 10 minutes’ drive away for beach times, and there are castles, gardens and all sorts of other things to fill days with. You’ll probably get a bit of a warm glow from knowing that you’re supporting a charitable cause by staying here – and that’s likely to grow even stronger when you see the facilities that have been provided. A washing-up area, toilets and showers are all included, and you can boost your break even further by hiring a firepit, grass heat shields (these are required for firepits or barbecues) or a windbreak. Logs can be purchased on site for the firepits. And that’s not all – there’s also a catering area that serves up cooked breakfasts, lunches, dinners and drinks (hot, cold and alcoholic) as well as running events like pizza nights and hotpot gatherings. The catering is open from Friday evening to Sunday morning breakfast.

Liked We really like this campsite and have been a few times now. It’s in a good location close to Rhyl and Prestatyn. Also the water fall down the road is great if you don’t want to venture to far out.
It has everything we need toilets/ showers etc. friendly staff always there if you need them.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked All aspects of campsite very friendly staff and well run would recommend to friends and family.

Disliked Some of the pitches are a little rough and worn.

Children’s play area could do with an upgrade.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sadly being an all grass site the pitch do show wear & tear, we have on some managed to put false grass to see if that helps, we hope to do more but the cost is difficult as we are here to raise funds for the Pet rescue. Totally agree the swings could do with an upgrade but this sadly is down to cost they may be removed after this season.
We are pleased you enjoyed your stay and your kind recommendations to family and friends. Until next time best wishes and happy camping & safe travels

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked A lovely view and large campsite. The burger van was a bonus on Friday, good food. The fire pits are also good fun.

Disliked The toilets and showers for the price could have been nicer, they smelt really bad from the other side of the campsite. I have noticed the owner is very defensive on here and this is just a fact.
We also found that we have never been anywhere that charges to get rid of rubbish.
There is also a sewage site next door and it does smell (we walked past it).
It’s also not clear on the website that the hot tubs are a lot extra and also the food van is Friday-Sunday which was a shame. Also no shop on site so we personally wouldn’t be back however did enjoy our stay still.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Sorry you feel you don't wish to visit again or recommend our site, if I may answer you points in order.
Toilet on site 2 are for night time usage as it saves campers walking over to the flushing toilets on site 1 (only a few yards from your pitch) . There are showers on site 1 & 2 both sets are clean, free to use & were relined this season.
If you had read your information sheet you would have seen the need to pay for any rubbish to be removed as the skip cost over £265 per week asking £4 from a camper for 2 bags is not a lot, but we could add the cost in the camping fee's as most campsite do or would you prefer the charity we raise funds for to cover the cost?? at least we give you the options (look at the T&C on here it is not stated we will remove your rubbish/waste)
The water treatment works has cost millions of pounds is totally enclosed and no smell or the new build houses overlooking the site would not have sold (everyone go's to a toilet that waste go's to a treatment plant, plus the trees have now grown so visually it's hidden, the smell is produced by your subconscious suggestion.
The Pitchup has not got the listing for the hot tubs so the cost of heating over a thousand litres of water + the water meter cost is immaterial to your booking.
The food van is as stated open at weekends & Bank holidays. The shop for anything you've forgotten is incorporated within the food van and you only need to ask for anything needed as the staff have access, but with a shop within 1 mile it's normally not an issue unless campers never leave the site, & we shop for them. We charged your phones daily at no charge, and if I am defensive so would you be, as a group of 3 young ladies very well behaved, and very pleasant had made the comments you have plus the farmers are spraying field all around the campsite and the country the small is your food being produced for the shops and in turn for the treatment works. I hope this information helps answer some of your points, I do thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer without bias. Best wishes to you all and with your futures adventures through life.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Big and very level pitches.
Other campers were really friendly.

Disliked Portaloos only in site 2 that had no lighting. The shower had nowhere to put your clothes - no hooks or shelves and the water drained directly through the door.
An extortionate £4 to take your rubbish away was charged as there are no bins. We took our own rubbish away which was ok but as we have a dog, we were aware of having poo bags in our vehicle.
The main thing that would put me off from returning was the fact that the site was immediately next to a Sewage treatment plant which gave off a really unpleasant smell.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: The port-a-loos were added purely for night time use, as a curtesy to campers who don't wish to walk a few yard to the flushing toilets that are illuminated all night, it also states on the information sent with the confirmation site 2 is non electric and torches are required.
The reason for the refuse charge is simple and also stated on the information sheet £4 for 2 clear bags available at the check-in this cover the cost of the skip that we are charged £264.+vat per week, I am sure the options given are reasonable or would you rather the charity we raise fund for paid the bill?
I am afraid you are very wrong about the smell as it was the surrounding farmers field that had been sprayed (if you want food in the shops for your table the farmers have proactive jobs to do to provide the raw material to the veg shop, butchers, supermarkets)
The treatment works are full enclosed and there is no odour and once all the trees have grown you would not know it was there or don't you go to the toilet) PS If you had looked there is a bin for dog poo perhaps, you should have asked at reception were all your queries could have been answered and any worries laid aside, I never understand why campers only complain after they have left. We are sorry you had such a miserable time and we wish you well with other camp sites safe travel to you and yours. PS nothing wrong with the free showers & hot pot wash

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Fruendly service. We got to the food van and little late and the lady tooke an order from us anyway. This was very much appreciated. The whole campsite had a friendly atmosphere, and I feel it is very well located. The beach is only 10 minutes away and you also have nice looking pubs (we didn't go in them) up the road. In addition, supermarkets were around 10 minutes drive away too which is very convenient. The surrounding hills still give you the feeling of being out the way. I felt the amenities were well kept, showers were pretty much the perfect temperature, with lots of power and clean. Never had any issues with the bathrooms at all, however I can imagine that if I did, the people running the site would have sorted it straight away. This was our first time camping with our children (5 & 3) and well will definitely be returning at some point.

From the manager: Thank you for your review it's very much appreciated, and you and your family will be welcomed back anytime. Until then happy future camping and safe travels

Local attractions

Time to hit the coast? Take your bucket and spade to the sandy beaches of Rhyl or Prestatyn (both 10 minutes’ drive), get over to Llandudno (half an hour) to walk on the pier and ride the Great Orme tramway, or continue to Conwy (half an hour) to explore the castle. For rural walks you can stay local for the 15-minute stroll to Dyserth Falls, climb the peaks of the neighbouring Clwydian Range or dip your toes into Snowdonia National Park (40 minutes’ drive). The pretty pathways of Bodnant Garden (half an hour) are well worth a wander too. This being Wales, you’re never far from a castle – the turrets of Rhuddlan Castle (five minutes) are the closest, but TV fans may like to drop in at Gwrych Castle (15 minutes) to see where I’m A Celeb was staged.
