 A large campsite just off the main road to Ruabon. Signed as residential and touring caravans.
The site does accommodate tents. On arrival the manager was helpful and pleasant.
The grass is also cut and the grounds are looked after. The leaflet we were given on arrival advertises placements for those working in the area. We felt that this is not a holiday site, it is okay for a stopover. It is mainly occupied by workers and residential/seasonal camper/caravans.
The facilities were clean and there were 2 showers, 3 toilets and 4 washbasins, no basin cubicles in mens and womens and a disabled ensuite. Two washing up sinks outside, no laundry facilities. The limited facilities for such a large site suggests that the majority of residents use their onboard facilities.
Our pitch was near the main road and the traffic noise was pretty constant, not good for sleeping. We were opposite the caravan store and rubbish/ recycling bins. We were basically put on a pitch which should be reserved for a one night stopover.
Our pitch was used as a thoroughfare by campers who would walk right across our hardstanding in front of our door, we don’t use an awning and did not erect our sun canopy.
There was a horrible smell by the facilities, particularly the disabled ensuite, washing up and toilet area of the women’s facilities. This was mentioned and air fresh sprays were put in the facilities and the fan left on. The toilets had poor flushes.
One thing to note is the metal sign attached to the entry keypad sticks out, we advise campers to get out of their vehicles to input the code to avoid damaging vehicles.
We will not be returning and cannot recommend this site.

We stayed for 3 nights during October half term.
A beautiful campsite with friendly and helpful wardens.
Close to a main road but the noise didn't bother us.
Lovely clean toilet and shower facilities.
We'd be happy to return here.

This was our first time visiting this site, we wanted somewhere relaxed and friendly and somewhere the children could be kids, and we were not disappointed !
We built a den and made a rope swing and the wardens were made up and come and interacted with the kids and shared in their adventure.
We will definitely be back too this rural relaxed site thanks Dave and his wife, Sam, peter, beth, ash and kids

Chose this site for it's central location for local attractions such as Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, Llangollen canal, Chirk Viaduct etc. And because it is open all year round. Friendly reception staff.
Clean, modern, well maintained toilet facilities, cartridge disposal point, outdoor covered wash up facility. All types of pitches from fully serviced hard standing to basic grass.
All well maintained. Saw squirrels and woodpecker, nice to walk the dogs around as it was quiet when we stayed but no dedicated dog walk area which is annoying when charged £2 per night for dogs.
No wifi, no play equipment for children.
Traffic noise from main road on two sides of the site but didn't stop us sleeping at night.
Would visit again for out of season central location.
Cost was ok for fully serviced hard standing level pitch but don't understand why sites charge for dogs.

Stayed one night. £15 seemed reasonable, we could have had hook up with that, but didn't need it. The lady of the house was very helpful and welcoming, even though we rang late to find out the way (cos our sat nav is rubbish). The shower/toilets were very clean and showers were hot.
There was the constant hum of traffic all night, but this wasn't a problem for us. Hubby deaf and I found it lulled me off to sleep. I heard it throughout the night, not cos it kept me awake, I was awake cos our heater didn't work and I was rather cold. I would say a good site and well situated for Llangollen and surrounding area.

Very disappointed in our stay. First impression was a kind gentleman who said it was £20 for Motorhome, and only cash. It looked a nice little site, so we went to the nearby town of Ruabon for cash. On our return we felt most unwelcome by the lady owner who asked for more money, we said we only went for £20 and she said that would do. Toilets and facilities were not pointed out, we were told to go to the lower pitch, far away from everything because we had children. The toilets and showers were clean but dated. Will not be using this place again.

I stayed for only 2 nights. A pleasant looking site, only drawback is other then initial entrance field the land is undulating and as others have indicated levelling blocks would be advantageous. Saying that I managed to find a spot where I managed to park pretty level. There is some road noise as others have indicated but personally this doesn't bother myself. The amenities block, though clean and showers are hot, is somewhat dated and could do with some TLC. Also dishwashing area is outside and not under cover. When I used this facility in the mornings there was not really any hot water. Site is ideally situated if you are a motorhome owner who doesn't wish to drive off site. It's only a short walk into Ruabon where you can catch a train to Shrewsbury, Wrexham or Chester if desired. I didn't look into it but I'm sure there must be a regular bus service to Llangollen. Though perhaps a couple of my comments may seem somewhat negative overall this site is excellent value for money and I will certainly use it again. I would also point out that currently there is some major sewer works being carried out in the area and they are using a field next to the site as construction site so more noise than usual and I had generator going in field next to van all night, though this doesn't bother me it may be to others.

Booked into James Caravan Park for the Jubilee Weekend, arrived on site and received a lovely warm welcome.
We were told we could pitch anywhere on the site, we decided the first field as you enter the site as we thought it would be sheltered and away from the main road, it was fairly quiet during the day as the children were running around but when the time came to go to bed you realise just how close the road is. The noise is constant until about 2.30ish in the morning and then restarts at about 4am. I think next time we book here we will go further into the site to pitch up.
The site is lovely and very clean. The toilet and shower block we good too, the showers were lovely and hot.
I would definitely go back to this site.
