Wake up to panoramic views across the Dwyryd Estuary, watch the tide change from your tent and fall asleep under some of the darkest skies in Snowdonia. Our intimate wild camping site, complete with a unique horse box glamping retreat, offers a peaceful base for exploring. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple, or with friends, you can book individual pitches or enjoy exclusive use of the whole site. An ideal location for exploring all that Snowdonia has to offer. Close to incredible beaches, mountains, Portmeirion and Zipworld. 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 3 camp areas, one is quite large. All are less than 25 metres from the parking area. 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.

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.

Guests to Rhos y Gallt describe the campsite as a little gem of a site - small, quite and tranquil with wonderful sunsets. The site can accommodate up to 5 caravans and 10 tents situated on a level 2 acre site within the beautiful rolling hills of Montgomeryshire in Mid Wales. There are hard standing pitches with electric hook-up as well as grass pitches with and without electric hook-up. There is also a field bordering a river which is used for wild camping - but you'll have to share it with the sheep! The toilet block has a family wet room with shower, toilet, wash hand basin and baby changing unit, a separate toilet, shower and kitchen area with freezer. The site borders a river meadow where visitors can wonder down and take a walk down with the river bank, relax by the water edge, throw a few skimmers, do a spot of fishing or even go wild water swimming (at your own risk!). Well behaved dogs are welcome (maximum 2 per unit). We were delighted to receive a nomination for The Camping and Caravanning Club Best Hideaway Site in 2021 and grateful to our wonderful guests for the nomination.

Weekend Trip to Eden's Nook

Great place, Jayne perfect host, met us on arrival and gave us a tour, showed us our space, lovely cooked breakfast in the morning at a time that suited us. Indoor space with kitchen facilities and chill out area with tv/dvds which would be great if the weather turned and you wanted a break from your tent. We were very impressed with the Yurts and will book one next time. Have already recommended to fellow camper friends. Lake Vyrnwy short drive away which our dog Maggie loved swimming in, and chilling at the camp after. Thank you for a lovely weekend

The view from the Boy John is beautiful, watching the tide come and go is very relaxing, listening to the birds and watching shoals of fish and crabs in the water. We even enjoyed waving to the train drivers as they slowed down when they passed. Watching shooting stars from the top deck late at night, what more could you ask for?

We loved staying at this beautiful site. Such a gorgeous place with stunning scenery. The owners were very friendly and helpful, the facilities were superb. We travelled by train and bus, so we were very glad we could use the fridge in the cabin for our millk. We went on some fabulous day trips and have fallen in love with the area. One of the best UK campsites I've ever stayed in (and I've been to many of them). We will definitely be going back there!

What a fantastic place Lizzie has up the hill with great views of the estuary. A small site with basic facilities ie water and compost toilet. Brilliant for a group gathering of maybe 4-5 tents, a van and use the horsebox. Easy 40 min cycle to Porthmadog, Portmeirion etc on cycle paths and minor roads although you’ll need to walk up the hill 0.5mile on the way back.

An amazing campsite. Second time we have been. First time in a yurt which was brilliant and this time in a tent. The campsite has been designed so well and each pitch felt very private with loads of space and the facilities were clean and again so well thought out. Also in such a beautiful location with great friendly hosts. Very very highly recommended. Everything you need for a perfect trip away.
