A note from the site themselves...

We are a small, family run site and we want to offer our guests, the things that we would like if we were on holiday. A great base to stay and explore the surrounding area with clean facilities, not too overcrowded and more importantly, not too noisy.

Whether you want to, sit and relax, read a book, listen to birdsong, watch the wildlife or go hiking up Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), we are the ideal base for you. We offer a range of accommodation types. So hopefully there is something for everyone.

We are always at hand if you need any help or advice and if we don't know the answer to your question, we will probably know someone who does.

We are looking forward to meeting you, "The Hamptons"

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2025

Campsite staff were very friendly and accommodating. Well kept site only around 10min down the road from Llanberis which was ideal for accessing mount Snowdon.

Medium Tent - Electric Grass Tent PitchesJul 2025

We've just come back from a weekend camping at Plas Gwyn. We rate this as one of the best campsites we've stayed at. It's a perfect location for exploring Anglesey and Snowdonia. The facilities are great. Very clean, easy to use and our highlight has to be the dog field, our two spaniels were very happy. The only negative thing we have to say about the site is just that you can hear the road traffic from the nearby dual carriageway but this isn't any reflection on the campsite and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We'll definitely be back.

Hi Hope Thank you for your wonderful review. We are really pleased to hear that you rate us as one of the best campsites you've stayed at. It makes all the hard work worthwhile. The fact that your spaniels had a great time exploring our dog field has also made us smile. We appreciate your honesty regarding the road noise, but we're pleased that it didn't overshadow your stay. Until next time. Kind regards Sally & Rob "The Hamptons'"
