About the site


Get back to nature and enjoy a relaxing getaway in the heart of Snowdonia National Park. This 'almost wild' campsite enjoys stunning countryside views, with visiting wildlife to the river. For tent campers, there are 20 unallocated pitches available across a few acres of land, so simply find a spot you like and set up camp. Each of the pitches allows tents only, with up to six guests per pitch, capped at a low number to always ensure some peace and quiet. Fire pits and logs are available to hire on site too for al fresco cooking. The campsite is situated down a little country lane, alongside a river with stepping stones heading into the village. The river is perfect for paddling, and further upstream there's even a little wooden bridge over a pool deep enough for wild swimming. Campers are also welcome to bring a fire pit and BBQ along, with local produce often available to purchase in the village. Dogs can join you for your stay too with up to two dogs allowed per pitch.

Open from 30 July to 26 August

A note from the site themselves...

Lauren and Dan have been on the farm together since 2018. Taking the farm over and learning as they go, they decided to open the fields to campers in 2021 so others could admire the beautiful views surrounding the farm!

Being conscious of having a minimal impact on the local surroundings the campsite is proudly off-grid and is made from reclaimed materials to mirror surrounding agricultural barns.
