Campsites near Llandudno

·

Llandudno has good old-fashioned seaside fun in spades: sandy beaches, a promenade, Wales’ longest pleasure pier, and a turn-of-the-20th-century cable-hauled tramway delivering visitors to the Great Orme headland above town. Beachside fun is the main attraction, but campers can also let off steam strolling about Great Orme and embarking on serious hikes from nearby Conwy, terminus of the tough Cambrian Way. Several camping and caravanning options flank the approach to Llandudno from the south.

The Llandudno Pier is the longest in Wales, so a stroll is almost obligatory on a visit. With amusements, ice cream sellers, and shops, as well as magnificent views, it’s a lovely way to spend an hour or two. The pier stretches out from Llandudno’s North Beach, a sand-and-shingle expanse backed by a promenade of Victorian buildings, where visitors stop for paddling, swimming, and sandcastle building.

At either end of the beach are the twin headlands of Great and Little Orme. Great Orme is home to Great Orme Country Park, a lovely place for a walk with stunning views out to sea from its 679-foot summit. If you don’t fancy the walk, a scenic cable car ride has been whisking visitors up to the top since 1969.

The incredible views of the Dwyryd estuary and Portmeirion, make this small wild camping site, with horse box glamping in Snowdonia, a really unique space. It can also be booked by individual sites or entirely by your group. An ideal location for exploring all that Snowdonia has to offer. Close to beautiful beaches and mountains. Or just stay put and enjoy the view! Ideal for individuals or small to medium size groups. There is a horse box that sleeps 2 on a high bed above the cab and has a kitchenette/dining space. There are 4 camp areas, one is quite large. All are less than 25 metres from the parking area and there are very basic facilities, a compost toilet and a tap. This is usually a self check in site and all sites need to be left clean and tidy for the next guests. This is a simple and unspoilt site that offers a tranquil setting, with sounds of nature and amazing views. There are many beautiful beaches and lakes close by, castles, steam trains, mountains, historic buildings and pilgrim churches, water sports, national cycle route and the coastal path. Within 20 minutes by car, bus or train are Harlech, Porthmadog, Tremadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog (zip world). Snowdon walk is half an hour’s drive away. Plenty to do! For local services, 2 miles away in different directions are two villages. Talsarnau has a pub and Penrhyndeudraeth has 2 small supermarkets, post office, several cafes, restaurants and takeaways, 2 pubs and a petrol station. Porthmadog is a few minutes further by car, bus or train and has extensive services and facilities. The property is accessed via a steep narrow lane, with passing places, about 1/2 mile from the A496 road. By public transport, there is a train station and a bus stop in Llandecwyn on the main road. National cycle route 8 passes our property gate. Llyn Tecwyn lake is a few minutes walk up the lane, with Llandecwyn church above that. A little further away are more lakes and reservoirs, the Rhinog mountains with Bryn Cader Faner and a temperate rain forest Coed Felinrhyd. All are lovely hikes from our property.

After a secluded stay on Anglesey? Take a peek at peaceful Pengraig Campsite. Up at the isle’s most north-western point near Church Bay, it’s about as far as you can get from the mainland without actually ditching into the sea. With that far-flung setting comes a stunning sea view – one that can be gazed at for many hours from the comfort of your pitch (a recommended activity around sunset, with drink in one hand and a barbecue stoking implement in the other). See the sea from a different angle on the nearby Anglesey Coast Path or while strolling on the sands of one of the local beaches. The waves aren’t the only gazing material around here – turn your back on the coast for scenic views of Mynydd Y Garn, or bring binoculars for a bit of birdwatching. Once darkness falls, direct your gaze upwards; the lack of light pollution means the stars can often put on a glittering show here. This isn’t a place for folks seeking heaps of facilities and entertainment; the emphasis is very much on peace and nature. Low-key amenities include a drinking water supply, a chemical disposal point and a toilet block (with basins and proper flushing loos). If you want to venture out in search of eats, pub meals and seafood suppers are five minutes’ drive away in Church Bay, and a little supermarket 15 minutes away in Cemaes.

Llandudno camping guide

Where to go

Conwy Bay

Conwy Bay runs from the other side of Great Orme headland above Llandudno, curving southwest via historic castle-crowned Conwy and seaside resort Llanfairfechan, then northeast along the east coast of the Isle of Anglesey. Expect UNESCO-listed fortresses at Conwy and Beaumaris on Anglesey, vast sandy beaches such as at Penmaenmawr, and important bird reserves like Lavan Sands. The long-distance Wales Coast Path runs all along the coast, and several campsites dot the Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan coast.

North Wales Coast

A long band of sandy beach begins southeast of Llandudno, passing through the big resorts of Colwyn Bay and Rhyl en route to the Dee Estuary. Most campers come to sample the area’s seaside charms—an easily accessible sandy coast is connected via railway to Merseyside in England, while plentiful seaside diversions also exist, from promenades to fun fairs. Caravan and camping sites can be found everywhere, particularly around Colwyn Bay and Rhyl, while great long-distance trails, including the Wales Coast Path, pass through.

Northern Snowdonia

Besides those golden sands, Llandudno also provides outdoor lovers with enticing mountain scenery. The northern reaches of Snowdonia (Eyri) National Park await beyond Conwy, four miles south of Llandudno. Comprising all the stony uplands north of the Betws-y-Coed-Bethesda A5 road, Northern Snowdonia’s big feature is the Carneddau range, a series of peaks propped up by Wales’ largest extent of 2,500-foot ground—and a hillwalkers’ delight. Camp along the upland’s eastern flanks, south of Conwy, at national park gateways like Caerhun.

Southern Anglesey

Anglesey is Wales’ largest island, and its beguiling sandy coastline is a big attraction for beach lovers, swimmers, and walkers with a coast path looping the entire shore. The area is accessible by road bridge over the Menai Strait 21 miles southwest of Llandudno—from there, it’s a few miles’ drive southwest to the campsites clustered near Southern Anglesey’s beach and the wide, powdery, forest-backed sands of Traeth Llanddwyn.

When to go

If you’re a beach-lover, July is the warmest month, though seawater temperatures peak in late August and early September. The July and August school holiday season sees the biggest crowds, so avoid this period if you’re looking for serenity. The most dependable sunny weather falls between May and September, perfect for hiking. Llandudno’s Victorian Extravaganza is a fun time in May.
