Just spent an AMAZING 3 nights staying at the Llyn Rhys Camp site. Never seen such a well maintained camp site! Toilets always fully stocked with plenty of toilet rolls, tissue and hand soap at the plenty. There were only 2 toilet cubicles in the ladies and 1 cubicle 1 urinal in the men's but never once had to wait (over the busy bank holiday as well) although there was an extra wash room round the back of the house but never went to say how many extra there were (there was also a snazzy baby change table in the ladies). Other users helped out by leaving it how they would expect to find it so never saw them in a state. Showers always had hot water when needed and glad to say they were a constant flow rather than them dreaded push button showers that you spend more time pushing the button than washing! there were two washing up sinks with sponges, washing up liquid and a towel all facilities were modernised and well maintained. (never saw any creepy crawlies either).
We stayed with hook up on the front pitch in between the river and the drive and apart from one night where we were joined by a couple in a tiny 2 man tent we had it all to our selves. From what I could tell from looking around the owner was very considerate and spaced everyone out well. As mountain bikers the owner offered to lock our bikes up in one of her buildings to which she was the only one with they key,
The site is closest to Llandegla forest but there was no way I was riding there it only took about 5 mins to drive but majority up hill and then a 21k ride on the black route round the forest, I knew driving up would be the best idea. Car parking at the forest was £4. 50 for the day but no qualms over paying this when you go round and see what a great job they have done building the trails.
After a hard ride The Crown pub was the place to go offering an amazing Sunday lunch at very reasonable pricing literally 2 mins walk from the camp site who also offer free WI-FI which was a bonus as the camp site had very limited signal service (but what more can you expect in the middle of Wales!).
Also as it being the countryside you have to expect all sorts of sounds from sheep on the farm in the morning to the farm across the way who had acquired a cockerel but nothing a set of ear plugs cant deal with, this in no way in the slightest hampered my stay at Llyn Rhys Camp site and I would recommend it to ANYONE. The owner was rushed off her feet with people turning up left right and centre with random arrivals looking for a pitch for the night as well as a second bus full of school kids that weren't expected until the next bank holiday but being the star she is the owner accommodated for everyone and made nobody feel left out.
I know I've rambled on but everyone should know how AMAZING the owner and the Llyn Rhys Camp site really are. 5* site 10/10. I just know that any other camp site I visit will be a complete let down compared to this one.
Really liked this site. It is family run and the owners very friendly. We had a lovely spot with hook up at the back of the field-very green and well looked after.
The toilet block is very clean and the showers, very hot.
Had a great, reasonably priced meal at the 'Plough' which is 10 minutes walk from the site.
The site is ideal for the Llandegla Mountain Bike Trails or for walking in the forest.
My only criticism was the noise of the cows who wake quite early!
Have just returned from this site, Christine could not have been more helpful, she cut the grass before we pitched so that it was not too long, and because of all the rain we had offered us mats to put at the entrance to the tent, so that we didn't make a mess of the tent. Because of the shorter grass though didn't need to use them as ground dried out quickly.
Brilliant area for mountain bikers, site was not overly busy and most units only stayed 1/2 nights but everyone that was there were bikers!
Did not really go far, OH and son went for a ride on Saturday, whilst my daughter and I stayed on site, and went for a ride to Rhyl for the air show on the Sunday. Great site and close enough to home for a weekend, will definitely use this site again.
Only downside for us, was that there was not always toilet roll, but facilities were always clean and tidy, and drainage as other review has said is a not very good in shower room.
No playground for children, but is a stream that runs through the site, and plenty of room to kick a ball about
When we need a break and somewhere relatively quiet to unwind, this is the site we head for, to us this site is a real home from home. On this visit (our 4th) even though the site was fuller than normal, the toilets etc were spotless and checked regularly during the day.
One of the main things we love here is that you aren't boxed up in little hedged off sections, the main field is one big field and you get the chance to meet other campers, talk with them and look at the views that surround the site.
The toilet and shower blocks are modern and clean, with good washing up facilities (our caravan sink is so small and we don't have hot running water, so this is a real positive for us) and as we have no 12volt (yet) the electrical hookups are also a necessity.
The site itself has everything we want from a site and this is made 10 times better by the owners who try hard to make your stay as comfortable as they can.
The surrounding area has plenty of things to do and places to visit, with North Wales all around you and Snowdonia just down the road.
Nearer by you have the Pondarosa cafe on the top of the Horseshoe Pass doing a great breakfast and the local pub/restaurant a short walk away on the nearby crossroads. We have to give this site 10s all around and will be back again in August for at least a long weekend if not longer.
I choose my sites carefully for location, suitability for us and carefully reading the reviews. Unfortunately on this occasion this site wasn't for us. We are a couple in a touring caravan with our mountain bikes looking for peace and enjoyment on our much cherished holidays from work. This was the last of our three site holiday and found it a very disappointing and an unhappy end to our holiday.
The site appears to be more aimed at families and tents.
The field isn't very big and the pitches aren't marked out. We went for the pitch in the corner near to the road. The road is busy as previous reviews have said but we expected that and so that wasn't a problem. The problem was the amount of kids playing football and generally messing around our caravan.
The ball hit our car, for which the kids did apologise and said they had only done this once. The site owner did say to the kids that once was once too many. Another load of kids then hit our caravan with a football and then there were kids play fighting and falling over our A frame.
This may sound anti kids but when you hire a pitch at a campsite I expect that that piece of grass to be my area and not have kids in my space.
On Christine's side, she was helpful and did speak to the kids but all I would say is that this site just isn't big enough to have kids playing football in it. Too many kids and too many footballs.
We went at the end of June to miss the school holidays but as it was a weekend we stayed at this site we seemed to have missed our objective!
The showers and toilet block were ok, we went to the showers in the evening after our mountain bike ride. Llandegla has a superb cafe and mountain biking area but next time we will look for a different site!
Took two tents this weekend for two nights, we had 3 dogs and one of us had electric, the total cost was £74 for the weekend.
The pitching fields are lovely, the facilities are clean and well kept and so are the grounds.
Our only real negative was the unclear pricing policy, and the lack of marking out of electric pitches. When we book an electric pitch we kind of expect a caravan with awning size pitch (as you pay the same), having said that we pitched in the near dark and after a chat with the owners we were made to feel comfortable.
The road by the campsite is noisy, there is no getting away from it.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The site is about 150m from a X-roads with the main Wrexham-Rhuthun road, and a frequent and regular service bus passes along this route. We took advantage of this to leave the car, and visit these two towns. Well worth the visit.
We did not use the Crown pub on the X-roads, as it looked a little bit unkempt outside. The campsite however, is a delight - a little basic, but well compensated for by its location, its cleanliness, the owners Louis and Christine, and its homeliness.
The one criticism is that there is no chemical toilet disposal point, which should be provided. Louis said we could empty it at the slurry pit, which had not been operated for some time.
We only stayed three nights, so could not take advantage of all that the area offers. We shall certainly return.
A well-located campsite close to two pubs - good food! - and local attractions such as Llangollen (steam train, boat tours etc), 2 national trust properties (Errdig & Chirck Castle - well worth a visit).
Campsite a good size - 2 fields to choose from - and new-looking toilet/shower facilities. May be a wait if busy, but served us well for the tail end of August!
Owners very helpful and welcoming. Best bit is the fact that you can hire a brazier and fuel, which gave us a lovely warm evening despite the nights drawing in and unpleasant weather!
Slight disadvantages would be that it is very close to a road which is fairly busy even at night, and the early morning cows, which were much keener on being awake than we were.
Also, when planning daytrips, there are lots of things to do much closer than those listed on their (otherwise very good) website.
Christine tried to deter us from booking as she had a party of Tongan rugby players and their families (a group of 40+!) but we were determined, and so glad we did - we had a whale of a time, even getting some of their pig-roast.
Fields are flat and easy to pitch in.
Christine ensures site is quiet at night.
If you are arriving with a trailer or caravan take the left fork on arrival and swing round right behind the silo to get into the field - even in a car that's the easiest way as the turn is tight otherwise.
Toilets and showers lovely & clean (newly installed). Unisex showers - 2 singles and a 'family' room. Plastic boxes in showers for storing clothes and towels rather than hooks - nice idea as long as everyone gets it - the box in my shower was full of water and so could not be used for my clean dry stuff. Toilets - 2 cubicles in Ladies and 2 sinks.
Can hire braziers and fuel for chilly nights - a great idea - every campsite should have them! Christine supplies a fire blanket for putting underneath to prevent grass getting scorched.
Site is in a lovely area, minutes from the Horseshoe Pass and Llangollen (by car) and close to Offa's Dyke footpath.
A superb site where we thoroughly enjoyed a weekend break. Christine and Louis cannot do enough to ensure you have a good break.
I found the site easy to find - the postcode is accurate for the satnav. The entrance gate to the site and also the turn into the main field is a bit tight with a caravan (my unit is 23-feet) but Christine helpfully guided me in an out with no scrapes.
The grass is well maintained and you'll find friendly chickens roaming the site. It is obvious it is mainly a tent biased site as we were the only caravan there, but we had a hookup no problems and easy access to water and a level pitch on beautiful lush grass.
The toilet and shower blocks are immaculate. The showers are superb with great pressure and no limit on the water - but the floor has been laid level which means that the water doesn't drain. Others have reported this too. They provide large plastic boxes to keep belongings safe.
Lots to do in the area. The Crown pub maybe 100metres away has a great menu at good prices. We ate there both nights and thoroughly enjoyed all we ate.
We had visit to the lead mines at Minera and enjoyed a walk in the hills nearby. We also enjoyed a rainy day in Wrexham (note for next time, the local swimming pool is meant to be superb for kids). Recommend eating at the Horse and Jockey - best pub grub ever.
We also enjoyed a leisurely few hours at the trout fishery around the corner en-route to Wrexham - good value too at £12 for a day pass. Whilst I caught nowt, the guy facing pulled in three lovely specimens that you could take home to eat if you so pleased.
The weather during our visit prevented us taking advantage of hiring a brazier but we look forward going again when the forecast is better.
The way Christine lays out the pitches, the tents go around the outside of the large field and it leaves a nice space in the centre where kids naturally gather to play. Very tranquil.
A few points to note:
- I couldn't find an Elsan point - but used the regular toilet for this without problem.
- I could not get any TV reception even with a high-gain aerial and amplifier
- I could not get telephone coverage (I'm on the O2 network). It was great to be off-line all weekend as my BlackBerry was a brick at this site!
Our three kids spend all their time building damns in the river and went through a weekends worth of clothes in one-night. They loved Llyn Rhys. See you soon!
