About the site


A great location for outdoor adventures and some much-needed peace and quiet, this small eco campsite is located in Mid Wales, a 20 minute drive from Snowdonia National Park (Eryri National Park). You will be just a 20 minute walk from Lake Vyrnwy Dam, ideal for scenic strolls and paddleboarding. The site is home to just ten non electric grass pitches, six for tents and four for campervans and trailer tents. Some of the tent pitches have direct vehicle access, whilst others are located just a short walk from the parking area with wheelbarrows for transporting your things. Each pitch measures 10m x 10m, mown into the surrounding longer grass. Everyone will be supplied with a private fire pit, and there is a riverside picnic area just a short walk away. In the evening, guests can also cook up a BBQ, just please ensure it is raised from the ground. There are also logs for sale onsite, and the local village shop and takeaway is with a two minute walk. Dogs are welcome, with up to two dogs allowed to join you for your stay. The site is certified with the Greener Camping Club, so at least one guest per pitch must be a member, though this can be purchased when you book. It is £12 for the year and gives access to hundreds of the greenest sites around the country. The Greener Camping Club will also plant a tree for every membership purchased.

Lake Vyrnwy Campsite is open from 09/06 to 30/09.

A note from the site themselves...

Lake Vyrnwy Campsite is more than just a place to pitch a tent - it's a special part of our family's story, passed down from the generation before us. We feel incredibly lucky to care for such a peaceful, breathtaking corner of the world, and we're passionate about creating a space where that beauty can be truly felt.

We hope that the site reflects our love for the land and our desire to offer guests a calm, welcoming escape where they can slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with nature. This isn't just what we do - it's who we are.
