Glampio Ty Cerrig Glamping

The buzzards circle high over the Clwydian hills, and at night the only light pollution comes from your own campfire — if the owners give the nod when you arrive.

This is a straightforward North Wales site for those who want the basics done well: proper pitches for tents, campervans and caravans, clean showers and loos, and the kind of quiet that makes you remember why you came. It suits campers who don't need entertainment laid on — couples after a walking weekend, families happy with a good base camp, anyone planning days on Snowdonia's eastern fringes or the coast at Rhyl and Prestatyn. The Clwydian Range AONB is right on your doorstep, all heather moorland and limestone escarpments.

Facilities are functional rather than fancy, and the vibe is properly rural without being isolated. Ask about campfires when you check in — it's site-dependent and weather-dependent, as it should be. This is the kind of place where you wake to sheep in the next field and spend your evenings watching the light fade over the Vale of Clwyd.
