Arrived on site first weekend of the school summer holidays with wife and 2 kids (7 & 4). Our first worry was that our name had already been crossed out of the book. As we were taken up to our pitch which was on the top field, she offered us plot 3 right opposite the old toilet block. We decided this was ideal as there was a small rocket climbing frame nearby and the large playground was in view from the pitch. Being near the toilets we thought that would be ideal too.
The pitch was fairly large and our Vario 600 plus with extention fit on very well the only downside being that when we turned over in bed it was noticeable that the pitch sloped front to back. A bit late by then to do anything about it.
At first glance the site seemed to be populated by long term tourers as all around you could see them with permanent awnings and fences. Some looked a little untidy as though nobody had been for some time.
When we got pitched and sorted we found more tents on the top field near the new toilet block. The plots looked more level but the view of the playground was obscured by large thick bushes/trees.
Between 7pm-8pm there were pony rides for £2. These were well organised and the kids loved them. The Saturday night was very busy and the 22:30 rule for quiet was not adhered to or enforced. Weekends were a lot more noisy, but found during the week kids DID play right up until 22.30pm. It gave the task of getting small kids to bed before that time difficult.
The following day there was a tractor pull, a mat tied to a tractor and this was in aid of a local charity so donations were accepted rather than charged. We had rain everyday but the site never seemed to get too muddy, just the usual grass cuttings everywhere. The Goats and horses were fattened up with the bag of carrots we had bought, this was something the kids loved to do. From Sunday onwards he site became a bit quieter as all the weekenders went home.
The toilet block opposite our tent was in an ideal position but was very outdated the shower left a lot to be desired and it was only ideal for pot washing and going to the loo in the night. Luckily the new block are not too far away and these were of a very high standard with plenty of hot water even if the shower did knock off after 5 seconds. This must be the best site we have been to with so much hot water that didn't run out ever!
There was a shop selling essentials and Gas if required. The Local Tesco in Mold was about 5 miles away and this got plenty of use. The town of Mold has everything you might require, plenty of takeaways and a good shops and much more.
With the weather being unkind, we were told about the Sun Centre in Rhyl. The kids thought this was fabulous, as you could eat, spectate and enjoy all that was on offer for swimmers. The front was nice too in Rhyl, we did try Colwyn Bay but this had nothing much to offer beach wise, Llandudno was lovely, try the tramway.
Would love the visit this site again for what it has to offer, but would probably will come at a quieter time (i.E. Not school holidays).
Family of 4, 2 adults, 2 kids ages 3 and 1. No pets. With EHU
Easy to find, sat nav took us straight there and entrance was signposted well. Didn't look that big to begin with but when we followed the quad bike up to the empty pitches it was quickly apparent how big the site was.
We could chose where to pitch, although being Saturday morning there were few choices. We were pitched close to the new toilet block on I believe the Highland field, it had highland sheep in a large pen in the middle.
Pitches were all of very good size and we had plenty of space for our 6 berth tent and our extension, even though the site was virtually full. Pitch was also very level and the ground was good, we had lots of drizzly rain over our stay, and a big downpour overnight and the drainage was good, no big mud puddles and not at all sludgy.
New toilet block was 4 loos and 3 showers for each gender, 1 loo had baby change table and 1 of the showers was extra large, making showering 3 of us together easier, only 2 down points, first would be that water only lasted 10 sec per button push, slightly annoying, but plenty of hot water (maybe tad too hot for my 1 year old) and second would've liked a mop in showers, I like to mop up after myself out of courtesy to others.
Was cleaned late in evening (bout 10ish) but unfortunately due to wet grass, there was constantly wet grass bits inside- but lets face it your on a farm, and it was clearly clean and hygienic and that's what matters, plenty of loo roll and couple of plug sockets also. Only popped into loo of older block, it is just dated and was clean overall, even saw them being cleaned over weekend too.
My girls loved the pony ride on saturday evening, although the 1 year old only managed 1 lap, they let you walk round with the smaller kids for safety and could hold the baby on, they loved it, and realy liked to see all the animals around. Play area was very popular even in the rain and was well placed centrally.
All the other campers were really friendly and chatty too, sometimes people never say hello to one another, not like that at all. All the staff would say hello or wave as they passed.
Would've liked a washing machine facility but not crucial.
Gem of a site and good value for money (£45.50 for 3 night with EHU) would love to return.
P.S we had day trip to Caernarfon castle, took just over an hour to get there and was fantastic.
Approach advised by site is single track and uphill so not for the faint-hearted!
We arrived at the time we had stated but no one in reception and no reply on the given phone numbers so having waited 30-45mins decided to find our own pitch.
Eventually the not so friendly site warden found us and suggested we could pay as there was now someone in reception!
On the plus side the children enjoyed the animals park and pony rides.
The toilet block is modern but not cleaned enough for its usage. The showers have no temperature control and are push button.
Just arrived back from a 2 night stay at this site.
A very nice site with lots to do to keep the young ones entertained, from pony rides (on Saturday nights). Tractor rides (Sunday morning) monies from this go to Alder Hey Hospital and they have raised a fair amount already this year.There are goats rabbits and chickens to look at, a large playground and lots of space for ballgames etc. We were on the the Ranch Field which although exposed I think had the most room, walking around at night the ELH field looked a little bit too packed for me.
They have 2 toilet blocks with 3 showers in the main one, considering how busy the site was I did not notice a lot of queing, the water was fairly hot with no temp control and a constant pushing of the button was needed to keep the flow of water going. I think they were cleaned to a good standard. All pot washing areas are under cover and constant hot water once again which was good.
Mold is only 10 mins drive away with all the usual big brand shops and they have a well packed shop on site add to this the burger van and the daily visits from the ice-cream man. What more could you ask for
Negative- There were signs all over site saying of noise level after 10:30pm must be kept down this wasn't the case in any way, we were in bed after 11:00 and still being kept awake well after midnight yapping dogs, kids still up running about and load talking. I think it was being dealt with with you can't baby sit people you just hope they act reasonable and think of others
Having said all that I wouldn't hesitate in going back beautiful views, great location and very reasonably priced
This is a big site with caravans out numbering tents. Some of the caravans appear to be permanently sited. If you are camping and want electricity then you may get mixed in with visiting caravans or motorhomes. The tents who used electric hook ups had to use a plot which meant they were closer to their neighbours than I would have been happy with.
We do not use electric hook up so had the choice of two tent fields when we arrived. The thing to remember with this site is that it is over 200m (600ft) above sea level and one field is quite exposed. We chose the other field which was empty, more sheltered and provided us with a lovely plot. Other campers arrived later but everybody kept their distance.
The site has no laundry facilities so not an option for a long stay as we have 3 young children. The playground could do with an overhaul (the whole swing frame was moving) and maybe put down bark as the ground was rock hard.
The toilet facilities did not appear to be cleaned regularly especially after the morning rush. As mentioned, this a big site and quite noisy in the evening. This does go on well after 10.30pm. One night, well after midnight. The site is also dog friendly which does add to the noise and the very occasional randomly left dog mess.
As only a weekend stay, cannot say much about area. Mold has a Tescos, Lidl and I think an Aldi. Standard Saturday market. From past experience there is good walking on Offas Dyke path on the hills opposite the site.
Overall the site is OK but just needs a few tweaks to make it really good. We will go back.
Just returned from a two night stay here and I would say it provided a good stay and was very good value for money. The owners are very pleasant and helpful, and the pony rides and tractor rides for kids are great. The play area serves the children well, and there is no problem playing football, ball games etc.
There are two toilet facilities, one being brand new but I did notice a cleaning issue. The site was fairly full and I think the toilet block could have been cleaned more. It is a very good facility, and I just felt it wasn't done proper justice by being left too long between cleans.
We pitched on the 'Ranch' field which was very exposed to winds coming in. This is something to bear in mind if you pitch there. I was up at 4.30 am with other campers resecuring parts of the tent that were literally being blown off, but hey, that's part of the fun!
If you are looking for somewhere to just go for the weekend and let the kids run about then Fron Farm would be a good choice.
Staying on a farm site made a great change from the usual sites we stay on. We (Family of Mum, Dad, son 12, daughter 9 and dog) stayed for 2 nights July 2010.
Three or four different fields with a mixture of tourers, tents and motorhomes. All grass pitches, numbered with ample space between each one, plenty of hook ups, 6 amp, our normal kitchen kettle did trip the electric a couple of times. May need levellers in some areas.
Two shower/toilet blocks, we used the newer one. Good ample modern clean facilities. Good play area. Small reception but with lots of local information, also sold the basics, milk small selection of groceries etc, and the best free range eggs ever! collected from the hens as we waited! Food van on site which I think is open around Fri, Sat Sun till about 9pm may be more. This was ideal if you arrive late and don't want to start cooking. Reasonably priced also.
About 4 miles from Mold town centre, nice town with plenty of shops and a good market on Saturday (and another day, but I forget which) we parked in the Love Lane car park opposite Lidl, it was 20p for the DAY!
Lots of farm animals around the site to look at, rare breed sheep, cattle, goats chickens roaming about and my daughters favourite, the horses. On the Saturday activities were arranged tractor rides, lamb feeding horse rides, the kids on the site loved it! Don't know whether this is done every weekend, check with site. Owners / staff very friendly and helpful. All in all a really good weekend.
Tip: There is a short cut to the site if travelling from Mold which isn't sign posted, but this is up a steep hill, saves about a mile and a half, not suitable for caravans tough, but in a car fine, and we got up in our motorhome. Ask the site for directions
We visited for the weekend, it rained heavily on the Friday we arrived,the weather steadily improved to the Sunday the ground dried out well. The views are lovely and the staff and other campers were very friendly.
Like other reviewers I was unhappy with the frequency of the toilet block cleaning, the site was very full, every time I went into the toilet block it was not as pleasant as it could have been, especially considering the new block has been purpose built and had the potential to be excellent.
We booked an EHU, the pitches in this area were too close together, we were lucky, our neighbours were lovely and at 10.30pm promptly went to bed. Other campers were not so thoughtful, the noise curfew was most definitely ignored by quite a few, the chatting went on til late in the night.
Overall we had a relaxing couple of days at a very reasonable price, there were lots of activities about and animals to interact with, but wont be returning as when we chillout camping it is about having some space and peace to relax in, and a clean ablution block.
First time out in the trailer tent and first time at site. All I can say is very very very good, kids loved it daughter at 2 years loved all the animals and feeding the lambs, son at 9 years out playing from 10 - 10 at a very friendly and safe park.
Owners very helpful and little shop very useful, also Ice cream van good touch and burger van for a quick snack. All in all very good. Will return
Fantastic site, well organised and staff very friendly. The toilets were spotless. The camp shop could sell a little more provisions, but only 10 mins drive from Mold town, where you can find three supermarkets
They have signs up all around stating to be quiet after 10:30 or you will be asked to leave and people do take notice of this. On the actual site there are parks for the children and organised activities eg. being a farm run site there is animal feeding, horse riding and also tractor rides
Just returned from Fron Farm where we stayed for two nights. The site offers fantastic views of Moel Famau and the surrounding countryside. The site is well run and there are two toilet / shower blocks one is new and we didn't have to wait for a shower during our stay as it was pretty quiet being midweek.
There is a small shop on site and a kids play area as well as cows, goats and rabbits to keep the kids amused.
The owners are very friendly and even loaned us a gas regulator for our camp stove as ours was playing up. There are plenty of walks close by and a few pubs within a couple of miles of the site.
Overall we had a very enjoyable stay at Fron Farm and would definitely return.
We were co-hosting a Geocaching event and chose this site as the perfect venue because of its setting and south facing camping fields (and also the abundance of geocaches in the area) It is so peaceful here.
The owners were extremely helpful and accommodating, for such a large group. There were approx 20 units in total.
The facilities were excellent, The staff were excellent.
The camp is definitely a family orientated site, with so many activities to see and do. The pony rides and Tractor rides were the highlights of the weekend (adults too!) and a bargain too.
The site is a popular place for expeditions and back packers.
There is a little shop on site which we found to be extremely reasonable on price and there is also a burger type chip van on site at certain times. Again good prices and good fresh food.
We would say to anyone.Come here and enjoy the amazing views and relax on this great family run site, where nothing is to far away.
Having visited this site a few years earlier, our visit then was some what spoilt by some very antisocial behaviour by a few individuals who partied all night and were abusive to other campers, resulting in them being thrown off the campsite the next morning. So it was with some trepidation that we returned recently.
The campsite has improved and grown some what since our last visit, with the owners taking a zero tolerance stance of any unsocial behaviour including no noise after 10.30pm. The owners have concentrated on making the campsite very family orientated, and I would probably not recommend it for child free couples as majority of visitors had children!
There is a play area situated fairly centrally on the site in one field, the site compromising of a few different fields. Due to some huge tents some pitches in some areas looked a bit cramped, but we had plenty of room on our pitch.
There were many activities organised for children, such as lamb feeding, tractor rides, horse riding and woodland walks. The tractor ride proved very popular with ours! which involved being dragged around a field on piece of rubber attached to a tractor!
A new toilet block has recently been built, housing 3 showers and 4 toilets, (for woman and same again for men) also a washing up area. There is one other block in another field consisting of 2 toilets, 1 shower (again male and female) and 1 washing up sink,this block although clean looked rather tired and out dated, compared to the new block. Although there didn't seem to be many facilities for the size of the site, we never had to queue.
It was good value costing £19.50 per night for tent with electric hook up, 2 adults and 3 children
We had a very different experience this time and will probably return in the future.
This is the second time we have stayed here, it is a lovely site and the owners very friendly.
It is great for Children with a play area and also a ride were they are pulled along on a mat by a large quad bike!
Was unfortunate that there was an awfully rough group of boys there who ruined it for a lot of people, this was dealt with by the owner and this group got banned, I was impressed by that.
New toilet block, there is also a snack bar where you can buy chips ect which were lovely!
We've just come back from a great weekend at Fron Farm & thoroughly enjoy it!
They had lamb feeding, horse rides & a tractor ride and a kids play area.
The lady owner was really pleasant. Every where was really clean, including the loo's.
It was our first time in a touring caravan & the site helpers & visitors were really helpful with our positioning etc.
Mold is only about 10mins down the road, although other than shopping we didn't need to leave the site.
The only downside was about 40 Duke of Ed campers arrived for the night & the toilets on our field were always full of teenagers, which was a bit uncomfortable, not that I'm against teenagers (I have 3 of my own) but it ruined your privacy in the loo!
Would definitely return in the near future.
£43 for 2 adults & 3 kids, with electric, for 2 nights with the extra facilities it was great value for money.
