About Dolwen Riverside Camping
This family-run campsite offers riverside meadow pitches in North Wales, just 10 minutes from the market town of Denbigh. The campsite is proud to have an eco-friendly approach, with all its facilities built using local and recycled resources.
There are only eight pitches on offer (three small and five larger). The small pitches are suitable for tents only (measuring 10m x 10m), while the larger pitches are suitable for both tents and small campervans (measuring 15m x 15m).
All come equipped with a picnic table and fire pit, allowing guests to fully enjoy the great outdoors. During the summer months, guests can enjoy the beautiful wildflowers too.
Campers will be right next to the river feeding into the Afon Ystrad, providing a tranquil soundtrack to guests' stay. Visitors can take a dip or quietly watch the local wild bird residents, including kingfishers and kites.
Plus, this rural location boasts minimal light pollution, which makes for breathtaking stargazing opportunities.
The site is certified with the Greener Camping Club, so at least one guest per pitch must be a member, though this can be purchased when you book.
Dolwen Riverside Camping is open from 27/04 to 29/09.

A note from the site themselves...
Really proud of being part of a Greener camping Club site. Love the wild areas of the site and all the wildlife it attracts. Dave and Yvonne loved creating a peaceful family friendly environment where everyone can enjoy the outdoors in harmony with nature.
It is important to all that you have a great time at Dolwen Riverside Camping. You will find clean and comfortable facilities to make your stay as relaxing as possible.
Absolutely superb campsite with well placed, separated pitches, right next to a lovely stream with stunning views of surrounding hills.
The owners are super friendly and helpful, and on hand if you need them.
Facilities are great. We didn't expect to have hot showers, a fridge/freezer you can access and a separate toilet. Everything's cleaned daily, and is spotless! Further, you get a picnic table and firepit included with your pitch, with wood available to buy.
It's only a short drive into Denbigh with a supermarket, pubs and a range of other local shops.
To summarise, we highly recommend a stay here and will most certainly be going back.

VW-Type Campervan - Large Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023
Beautiful site, the most peaceful I have stayed in. The owner was incredibly kind and thoughtful. Loved how each pitch has its own bench and fire pit and how they have kept the grass long between pitches. Great shower and toilets. Perfect place! Thanks so much.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2024
I enjoyed a really nice night on this well maintained site. I was out hoping to see the aurora borealis which didn't come out, but that's nothing to do with the campsite!
I was met by the owner who provided a breakdown of the amenities and that wood was available for purchase as all pitches have their own firepit available for use. As one of only two pitches occupied a brief check was made on us both that we were settled in before it was too late. Both owners are very pleasant and this felt welcoming, not intrusive.
Pitches were well marked out as cropped grass amongst some taller which gave a nice sense of some boundaries without anything so obvious as fencing.
I was on a pitch which backed towards the river and so enjoyed the sound of the river at a low level burbling along as I drifted off, along with owls and bats being out. I also heard a woodpecker the next morning.
The facilities were spotless and well maintained. There's even a little honesty shop which covered a good range of essentials and even had locally made jams and chutneys!
I would definitely return. The site has a nice number of pitches without any crowding. I believe the owners are eco-conscious of the site as the membership of the greener camping club suggests.
