Campsites by waterfalls near Capel Curig

·

Capel Curig’s waterfalls pull in campers who want more than just a patch of grass. With over 25 local campsites set near crashing water, you’ll find everything from mossy banks to rocky ledges—each with a different view and soundtrack. Average price runs about £110 per night, but you can snag a spot for as little as £15. Top picks include Graig Wen - Wild Snowdonia Escapes (53 reviews), Torrent Walk Campsite and Bunkhouse (49 reviews), and Eden's Nook (28 reviews)—all favourites with regulars. Facilities like toilets and showers keep things practical, and most sites welcome pets. Expect to watch wildlife at dusk, swim in clear pools, or join a horseback ride through the hills. Don’t forget: this is Snowdonia, so pack for weather that changes fast and bring a bag for your rubbish.

4. Mehefin Coed

136km from Capel Curig · 1 unit · Glamping
Hello and welcome to Llwyn Celyn’s “Mehefin Coed” and a little bit of paradise, we really don’t want to share. June and I (Laurence) Tree hope you enjoy your stay in our vintage motor home, parked up in a setting that invokes (we hope) the off road country lane hide away meets beach and secluded back garden feel. Llwyn Celyn – Like hundreds like it, is a small holding, a farm of some 12 acres, these days it is still farmed, though very quiet with only the sound of sheep from our family folk, and is set midst a small hamlet of ten other holdings. Llwyn Celyn’s “Mehefin Coed” is situated in the heart of Pembrokeshire’s National Park – The Preseli Mountain Range and birth place of Wiltshire’s “Stonehenge” and their blue stones, to which the quarries can be seen and walked to a few minutes away from Mehefin Coed. From our pictures, we hope, they give you a sense of relaxation and to forget the World outside away from our part of the UKs wonderful Pembrokeshire.

16. Finnant Wood Wild Camping

140km from Capel Curig · 4 units · Tents, Motorhomes
Near Carmarthen, South Wales. A compact and accessible wood with a balance of commercial crops, mature broadleaves, and recent planting, it is set in a sheltered location overlooking the Towy Valley with stunning views. Ffinnant Wood is a mixed woodland, partly commercial and partly broadleaf, with a steep-sided broadleaved valley, Cym yr Abbey, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The wood designations include restored ancient woodland and plantations on ancient woodlands. The SSSI designation arises as this is one of few localities in South Wales that has yielded well-preserved trilobite fossil specimens. The wood comprises a stand of mature mixed Sitka spruce and Douglas fir. These trees have been managed to put on height and volume. The area of recent (2021) coniferous clear felling and some nearby thinning yielded approximately 1,800m3, approximately 635 tonnes/ hectare, showing that this is a productive site. Following harvesting, these areas were replanted with 50/50 Sitka spruce/Douglas fir and a Sm edge of broadleaves adjacent to the B4300. It has been weeded and is growing well. A small area (c. 0.4 hectares, see map) remains to be replanted with 960 trees (Sitka spruce, 90%, oak, 5%, mixed broadleaves, 5%). RIGHTS OF WAY There are no footpaths on the property. This gives the wood an extra element of privacy. DIRECTIONS Drive east on the B4300 from Carmarthen. After 4 miles, you will pass the turn-off for the B4310. Keep on the B4300; after 800m, Ffinnant Wood is on your right-hand side, rising up the slope. There are two points of vehicular access to the wood from the B4300. For viewing, as the B4300 straightens, pull over to the right and park adjacent to the metal double gates, from there you can enter the woodland on foot. You can also enter the site through the smaller wooden gate c.l00m west.

Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field
Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field

Spectacular scenery, towering mountains all around, beautiful waterfalls like Swallow Falls and easy access to the start of the highest hike in Wales – plus, of course, plenty of excellent local campsites.
