About the site

Escape the day to day stresses at this off-grid, eco campsite. Set just 15 minutes from the River Dee estuary and on the edge of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is a perfect spot for nature lovers and adventurers alike. The site offers just six camping pitches, all on a lawn floor in the heart of the 18 acre woodland. The pitches vary in size, with one small, three medium and two large pitches. All of the pitches here allow tents only, accommodating between three and six guests. For a unique, woodland experience, opt for one of the treetop ready tents, designed to minimise ground disturbance. From Tentsile, the tents are strung up between the trees so you can enjoy a bird's eye view, great for wildlife spotting. The Stingray tree tent is a single level tent that sleeps up to three guests with room for your belongings, ideal for a young family. The Buzzard offers a stack of tents reaching up to nearly 20ft and sleeping up to three. Each stack has an additional level with a fly netting for you to read, play games or relax and chill with a glorious view. It also has an additional hammock level at the bottom to enjoy. Please note that, due to the entrance of the treetop tents being at the centre, individual sleeping compartments are set around the edge of the tents. Bedding is also not provided, and individual sleeping bags/blankets will need to be brought due to the sleeping arrangement. These tents also have a weight limit of 100kg/person, and they do require a level of agility to access them. The site also recommends you bring a blanket or sleeping mat underneath you, but not a blow up bed. Extra blankets are also advised to keep you warm. Or opt for the Toad Hideout Glamping Cabin, set in the heart of the woodland, which has a fully equipped kitchen, a breakfast bar, a wood-burner, and sleeps up to four with a double bed and a sofa bed. You'll also have your own bathroom with a hot shower, compost loo and towels included. Outside, there is a garden area where you can sit and enjoy the sounds of nature. Whether you're snuggled up in your tent, nestled down by the campfire, listening to the birds, headed out to the hills or towns, or discovering all that is Cymraeg, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience! Please note that dogs are not allowed due to the surrounding wildlife, sorry.

Seb is brilliant and the campsite was clean, friendly and beautiful. We could only stay for one night but would love to stay longer and take in all there is to see in the area.

Medium Tent - Medium Non Electric Grass Pitch Aug 2026

This is a small family campground in the woods for tent lovers. Everything is very well organized and the owners are very friendly and accommodating. Cars are not allowed near the tents, which is great. We made pizza in the big outdoor oven and enjoyed sitting by the campfire. The road is relatively close, which we hadn't realized when we booked, but that turned out not to be a problem at all. I loved the small scale, the absence of campervans, and the freedom with which kids could roam around.

A note from the site themselves...

Welcome to our family of five. We live in a 18 acre woodland, in the heart of North East Wales, nestled under the hills of the Clwydian range. In 2018, we bought this woodland, bordered by an old disused railway and old sand quarry. Silent and forgotten, untamed and unloved, we saw a space of diverse trees, native woodland flowers and a flurry of woodland animals that could become something unique.

We (Seb, Hannah and our 3 little adventurers) are passionate about people, the great outdoors and creating a sustainable future, living, exploring and having adventures along the way. We are on a journey, learning about nature, trying out new skills and discovering all the fun and activities the great outdoors has to offer.

Whether you're a snuggled up in your tent (on the ground or in the trees!), nestled down by the campfire, listening to the birds, headed out to the hills or towns, or discovering all that is Cymraeg, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience here with us.

So grab your sleeping bag, pack the marshmallows and book in for a woodland camping experience you'll never forget. We can't wait to meet you/Edrych mlaen I weld chi! Seb and Hannah
