About the site

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, trailer tents, roof tents, caravans and motorhomes, the site has a range of grass and hardstanding pitches. Most pitches come with 14 amp electric as standard, and the rest have optional hook ups. For groups and larger families, there are three 7m x 18m grass pitches with a 10 amp electric hook up for tents and roof tents. The site also offers electric hardstanding pitches with 14 amp electric hook up and water hook up. An exclusive six bedroom bunkhouse is also available onsite to hire. 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 to join you, with up to two per pitch. However, the large electric grass pitches accommodate up to four dogs!

Torrent Walk Campsite and Bunkhouse is open all year round. Pitches from £20/night for 2 people.

VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding PitchesDec 2025

Good site, all the pitches hardstanding and grass etc are nice and flat. The facilities are ok and cleaned regularly. £40 per night felt a little expensive, but not much choice in the area for an all year campsite.

Extremely well laid out

VW-Type Campervan - Grass Pitches (Optional Electric) Nov 2025

We arrived in the dark and due to the large amount of rain there had been we were worried about driving onto the grass pitch we had booked. We called the campsite number and they advised us just to go to one of the hard standing pitches, which was really helpful! The campsite is quiet, great location and the facilities were really good, best campsite shower I've had! There is a shop and a Starbucks just around the corner too! Would definitely stay again.
