Hawarden Estate Campsite
The Farm Shop Campsite is a seasonal campsite that welcomes happy campers to celebrate the great outdoors during spring, summer and early autumn.
BOOK YOUR PITCH
Wild, but absolutely luxurious, we think it’s the best in North Wales.
The Hawarden Estate Campsite is entirely dog and child-friendly. You can bring your own campervan or tent, or stay in one of our pre-erected bell tents.
There are only 26 pitches spread across 6.5 acres which means you’ll have plenty of space and freedom to enjoy. Our Farm Shop and Café are close by, along with hot showers, proper loos and the campsite clubhouse.
THE PITCHES
There are four different pitch types available, which are:
Tent Pitch
Campervan Pitch
Standard Bell Tent Pitch
Bell Tent with Platform Pitch
(all bell tents are pre-erected and ready for you upon arrival)
Check-in is anytime from 1 pm, but if you’re planning to arrive after 5:30 pm you will need to inform us so that we can give you the information you need to find your pitch. If you are booking a same-day pitch outside of our opening times use our booking system above. Following this please call 07826524435 to ensure someone is available to let you into the campsite.
Check-out is at 10.30 am, however, you can stay on the Estate longer by parking in the Farm Shop car park - we just need you to vacate your pitch.
