Information

This is the ideal campsite for walking Snowdon and exploring Snowdonia. Snowdon can be walked straight from camp. The campsite boasts an amazing view of the North west face of Snowdon and many of the surrounding mountains.

We welcome backpackers, walkers/hikers and climbers, and all who want to come and enjoy Snowdonia.

Generally suitable for any respectful outdoor type, not wanting 5 star facilities or a clubhouse, we just provide basic campsite facilities, with a panoramic view!

We do not welcome rowdy groups, you will be turned away or kicked off site, and it may be hard to find somewhere else to stay if its late! We do not mind chatting around the campfire, and guitar playing etc, but no music, loud laughter, shouting from tent to tent etc after 10pm thanks. We also want you back on site before 10pm if you have been down in the village, and to walk back up the hill quietly, thanks.

For 2012 groups will need to book and pay in advance to limit numbers. A noise bond may also need to be paid.

Strictly no fireworks or Chinese Lanterns to be used on this campsite. They are a hazard to other campers, the surrounding heathland, farm and livestock.

We welcome D of E groups, scout/guide groups, and don’t mind you hugging the radiator in the drying room! Or putting your wet boots on it. Our OS number is SH573595. Especially for D of E groups we have held the price at £4 again for another year.

Also a popular finishing place for 3 peakers.

The campsite is situated on a working mountain farm.

Set 600 feet above sea level the site has panoramic views of Snowdon, surrounding mountains and Llyn Padarn. You can see the peak from the site, weather permitting, of course!

The campsite has been improved in the early 2000’s, from what used to be just a toilet and a cold tap, into a more camper friendly site. We have added toilets and showers, hot and cold wash facilities, a laundry/drying room, and a small kitchen area with fridge and freezer. There are also electric points for phone charging, hairdrying, blowing up air beds etc.

2 Hook up points are available for campervans, these must be pre booked though, and there is a seperate area for family tents with hookup.
