About Dolgamedd Holiday Park

Nestled in the lush woodlands of Southern Snowdonia/Eryri, this family friendly site makes an ideal base for exploring North Wales. Just 25 minutes from the coast, enjoy days out on the beach or navigating picturesque walking trails. The site welcomes tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes with generous sized pitches, some with 10 amp electric. Campfires are also allowed on the riverbank, but caravans aren't allowed on these pitches, sorry. The best pitches for caravans are either in full sun on the middle field between the entrance and the shower block, or the four pitches on The Bryn, just above the riverbank. The different parts of the park are separated by trees and hedges, so you'll see plenty of birds and wildlife with herons and wild ducks often seen on the river. The site has a laid-back feel with the aim of everyone enjoying some much needed relaxation. Four-legged friends can also join you, with up to two dogs per family and if they remain on the lead.

Open from Easter or April 1st, whichever comes first, and closes on the 31st of October.

A note from the site themselves...

Mr Jones started allowing campers here back in the 1950s, then Tom and Mair ('ai' is pronounced 'aye') bought the farm in the early 90s and improved and developed the site over the years. Their children are now running it, so it's very much a family affair.

We're extremely proud of our site and get a real buzz when people say how much they love it here. When the sun is setting, the blackbirds are singing and everybody's back from the beach or the mountains, relaxing with a glass of something as the children play in the river and the smell of barbecues wafts through the air, it feels good. Really good. Da iawn!
