About Coed Derw Camping

The sweeping views over the Clwydian Range from Coed Derw Camping aren't just pretty—they're a walker's calling card. Set within the grounds of Vale Country Club, this Denbighshire site puts you within striking distance of Moel Famau, the region's highest peak, which you can tackle on foot straight from your pitch. The town of Ruthin is a gentle 20-minute stroll along a pavement-lined road (or a five-minute drive if legs are weary), offering cafés, pubs, takeaways and shops for barbecue supplies.

Half an hour's drive opens up Eryri (Snowdonia) for mountain biking, whitewater rafting or ziplines, while the coast is 40 minutes north. Though facilities can feel a touch basic—showers, toilets, washing-up area and wifi cover the essentials—the real draw here is location. With grass pitches for tents, trailer tents and tourers (electric and non-electric options), plus dogs welcome year-round, it's a no-frills base for exploring on foot or further afield.

What visitors say

Kelly Eyre

This is a fantastic campsite, whether you want a quiet break, or a family holiday full of adventure! We came with an 8 year old and we had such a great time collecting wood for the fire and playing in the river. There’s so much wildlife too! 🦅🐿️ Local amenities are an easy 20-30min walk away, but the site itself feels like the middle of nowhere🌲 The hosts are really welcoming and friendly, and the site is well maintained. The compost loo is great and the basic facilities are all you need. We’ve only been home an hour and already booked to go back 😂

Great experience. Campsite has a really interesting layout your with plenty of secluded pitches. Shallow stream running through the centre, shallow enough to dip in and walk through. Excellent introduction for my daughter into wild-ish camping. Recommend.
