The Wild Campsite is the Jewel in our Crown

Fancy a spot of back to nature wild camping? The Crown Inn has the perfect spot for you. Our campsite is set along a half-mile stretch of the River Alwen, in 6 acres of ancient woodland and pasture. Ideal for families, individuals or groups who love discovering a hidden gem of a campsite.

Our campsite is for those who wish to get back to nature and really enjoy old-school non-powered camping, with a river and an ancient forest and real campfires in fire pits. We welcome both campervans and tents. Unfortunately access to the campsite is over a ford in the river and is not suitable for towed caravans or large motorhomes.

All we ask is that you behave responsibly, respect your neighbours and their property and no excessive noise.

Breakfast for campers can be pre-booked at the pub the night before. Fishing in the river is free for our campers.
