About Tree Tops and Train Tracks

Escape the day to day stresses at this off-grid, eco campsite. Set just 15 minutes from the River Dee estuary and on the edge of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, it is a perfect spot for nature lovers and adventures alike. The site offers just six camping pitches, all on a lawn floor in the heart of the 18 acre woodland. The pitches vary in size with one small, three medium and two large pitches. All of the pitches here allow tents only, accommodating between three and six guests. For a unique, woodland experience, opt for one of the treetop ready tents. From Tentsile, the tents are strung up between the trees so you can enjoy a bird's eye view, great for wildlife spotting. The Stingray tree tent is a single level tent that sleeps up to three guests with room for your belongings, ideal for a young family. For larger groups, The Buzzard offers a stack of tents reaching up to nearly 20ft and sleeping up to four adults or a young family of six. Each stack has an additional level with a fly netting for you to read, play games or relax and chill with a glorious view. It also has an additional hammock level at the bottom to enjoy. Please note, due to the entrance of the treetop tents being at the centre, individual sleeping compartments are set around the edge of the tents. Bedding is also not provided and individual sleeping bags/blankets will need to be brought due to the sleeping arrangement. These tents also have weight limit of 100kg/person and they do require a level of agility to access them. The site also recommends you bring a blanket or sleeping mat for underneath you but not a blow up bed, extra blankets are also advised to keep you warm. Whether you're snuggled up in your tent, nestled down by the campfire, listening to the birds, headed out to the hills or towns, or discovering all that is Cymraeg, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience! Please note, dogs are not allowed due to the surrounding wildlife, sorry.

A note from the site themselves...

Welcome to our family of 5. We live in a 18 acre woodland, in the heart of North East Wales, nestled under the hills of the Clwydian range. In 2018, we bought this woodland, bordered by an old disused railway and old sand quarry. Silent and forgotten, untamed and unloved, we saw a space of diverse trees, native woodland flowers and a flurry of woodland animals that could become something unique.

We (Seb, Hannah and our 3 little adventurers) are passionate about people, the great outdoors and creating a sustainable future, living, exploring and having adventures along the way. We are on a journey, learning about nature, trying out new skills and discovering all the fun and activities the great outdoors has to offer.

Whether you're a snuggled up in your tent (on the ground or in the trees!), nestled down by the campfire, listening to the birds, headed out to the hills or towns, or discovering all that is Cymraeg, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience here with us.

So grab your sleeping bag, pack the marshmallows and book in for a woodland camping experience you'll never forget. We can't wait to meet you/Edrych mlaen I weld chi! Seb and Hannah

Medium Tent - Medium Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024

A really lovely place. Very friendly owners who are clearly passionate and invested in the campsite. A beautiful site, good pitches and very clean. A nice fire-pit and covered games area. Exciting looking tensile tents and log cabin we'd like to try. We will be planning to return.

Beautiful site, really great facilities

Medium Tent - Large Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2024

The campsite is beautiful, surrounded by trees and lots of wildlife. Our pitch (large) had plenty of room and we were able to camp next to our friends. The shared space for fire pits is really lovely and we spent two lovely evenings by the fire. Parking is just outside the campsite and there are wheelbarrows to get your stuff where you need it. The toilet and shower block was great and really clean.

Excellent campsite, great facilities

Ready Tent - The Swallow Tree TentAug 2024

Me and the the 2 kids (4 and 5), had a brilliant time. We stayed in one of the Tentsile tents which was ideal, and the first time we'd done so. Great facilities, pretty much all built by the campsite owners. We'll look forward to coming back when the woodland is opened up for an explore with the kids.
