About Torrent Walk Campsite and Bunkhouse
Set in the shadows of Cader Idris, this relaxed and laidback site is the ideal base for Snowdonia National Park. It's just one mile from the market town of Dolgellau (five minutes), plus easy access to many attractions and activities on its doorstep! Welcoming tents, caravans and motorhomes, the site has a range of grass and hardstanding pitches. Most pitches come with 10 amp electric as standard, and the rest have optional hook ups. There are also a handful of electric hardstanding pitches with 10 amp electric hook up and water hook up. The site is spread across three camping and touring fields, comprising of the main field which is a short walk from the central car park, the lake field (as the name suggests!) and the ledges field which is better suited to tents due to steep access, and slightly further from facilities than the other fields. Dogs are welcome.
Torrent Walk Campsite and Bunkhouse is open all year round.
Site facilities include a large toilet block including hot, powerful showers. There is a shared guest fridge and freezer, microwave and kettle. Guests also have access to the wash room with coin-operated washing machines and tumble dryers. Firepits are available to hire from reception.
A petrol station sells essentials down the road, and the market town of Dolgellau is a five minute drive away with shops and restaurants.

Basic facilities. Very muddy field that was difficult to park on. Very clean toilet and shower facilities (ladies). Starbucks 7 mins walk away and 25 mins into town.
Lovely little campsite

Very nice one night stay at Torrent Walk, with good facilities and a quiet evening, which was ideal as we stayed with our toddler. Nice local walks with the local Starbucks and fuel garage a few minutes walk away. It's also good that the showers are included in the price of your stay, whereas other sites charge extra. Would recommend the site.

Things to do on site and in the Dolgellau area
Set in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, there is no shortage of outdoor activities.
The site's name comes from the nearby four-mile "Torrent Walk". All you need to do is take a right from the gate along the track, and you will soon be at a bridge, where there will be a signpost for the walk. Although steep in some places, manageable for most skill levels, great to do with kids or an evening dog walk.
The historic market town of Dolgellau (five minutes), the coastal village of Fairbourne (20 minutes) and the seaside town of Barmouth (20 minutes) are all within driving distance of the site.
If cycling is your thing, Coed Y Brenin Mountain Biking Centre (15 minutes) has world-class trails, a visitor center, a cafe and walking paths too! Dyfi Bike Park is also nearby.
Other attractions include:
- Mawddach Trail (5 minutes)
- Mach Loop (5 minutes)
- New Precipice Walk (10 minutes)
- Corris Craft Centre (15 minutes)
- Bwlch-gwyn Pony Trekking (15 minutes)
- Zip World and Bounce Below
- Portmeirion Italian Village (40 minutes)
- Zip World (50 minutes)
