Coed Obry is a 5.5 acre private woodland on the edge of Snowdonia National Park. It has its own private gated access from the road and a 50m track leads from the A 4085 to a small car park for 5 vehicles. Paths lead from there to the caravan, bunkhouse, camping areas. There is a compost toilet block and sink (cold water tap) in the centre of the wood shared by all visitors. The notice board in the car park provides visitors with maps, photos and information about the wood, and there are laminated maps showing the routes of around 30 local walks which visitors are welcome to borrow during their stay. Canoe, kayaks and paddle boards are available to hire in Coed Obry and there are several fire pits with seasoned firewood for sale. There is no mains water so visitors are requested to bring their own drinking water, but rain water harvesting systems provide water for washing. Nearby there are several outstanding beaches within 1-3 miles and there is good access to the mountains of Snowdonia; the Afon Dwyryd provides an excellent sheltered river/estuary for canoeing and paddle boarding; the slate quarries and tourist attractions of Blaenau Ffestiniog, rock climbing at Tremadog (2 miles); spectacular waterfalls at Croesor (1 mile); the Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway (0.5 miles); the Glaslyn Osprey Centre (1 mile); several shops, restaurants, hostelries and Spar shop in Penrhyndeudraeth (1 mile); three large supermarkets and a regional shopping centre in Porthmadog (2.5 miles).

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. 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.

One of the things people love about staying here is the amazing views - including watching the moon rise over the mountains. The developing Clwydian dark sky region means there are great views of the night sky and sometimes northern lights.
You may just want to hang out and relax but there’s lots to do too!
There are lovely local forest and waterside walks, neolithic burial sites, a stone circle, Osprey, butterfly and (if you are lucky) red squirrel watching, a secret waterfall and river swimming, easy and challenging off road cycling options, access to water sports.

Denbigh with its stunning castle, Corwen, Llangollen, Llyn Tegid (Bala) and the North Wales Coast are easy to reach by car. There are also options for days out using public transport including taking a steam train. Please ask - they aren't all known to Google!
The nearby village has a community run pub and shop with the Glan Llyn tafan offering food by local gastro company Sorbus. In fact there are loads of great little villages near by each with their own character and points of interest including great cafes, walks, Punjabi pub food, historic churches and sacred wells.

We had the most amazing night in the landpod. John and his family were incredibly accommodating and the facilities were better than we could have expected. The kids especially loved the wood fired hot tub, and exploring in the woods. We will definitely return!

We had a great time at Bryn Ifan. Callie was very welcoming. The camping field was well kept. The pitches were large enough for a bell tent and shelter. They were fairly close together but the long grass increased the sense of privacy. There were expansive views, including right up to the summit of Yr Wyddfa. The barn had good wet weather facilities. Thanks for a great stay!

Incredible walks on doorstep and huge area to choose from to pitch tent so not overcrowded at all.
Clean drinking water and fire pits with star filled skies topped it off.

It was our second time here. We absolutely love it here. Beautiful scenery… there is honestly nothing like it, so unique. Could have done without my other half ripping his toenail off and realising we hadn’t picked up our first aid kit but some other friendly campers ahead a fully loaded first aid kit! Don’t try move the fire pits with flip flops on!! Other than that a lovely relaxing evening…

Henbant is a really special place. The pace is slower, things feel more meaningful, and there's trust and kindness in all they do. I loved the farm shop with the honesty policy and how the owners choose to see the best in people.
The views are spectacular. We stayed on a campervan pitch which was very generously sized but we'd definitely like to come back to a tent pitch. You find them nestled in the hillside around the farm, completely private. You won't find people camped on top of each other here.
The cafe is great on the weekends. The banana cake is particularly phenomenal.
We loved exploring the market garden and learning about their approach to farming.
Our son really enjoyed the little playground, particularly the trampoline.
This site really has everything if you're looking for a chilled and beautiful stay.

The most magical stay! Really inspiring principles but laid out in a beautiful, welcoming and approachable way. Our two year old loved the trampoline and the guinea pigs and we loved the cappuccinos but the shower with a view was difficult to beat. We loved exploring the bakery garden and the first school area and appreciated the private camping pitches. People must come to you with a range of levels of understanding of the world of sustainability and self sufficiency but leave one step closer to the life you envision for all of us. What a thing to achieve!

Where to go
Snowdonia National Park
Snowdonia National Park is dominated by craggy snow-capped peaks and Welsh-speaking mountain villages like Beddgelert, as well as glacial lakes, the Coed-y-Brenin Forest Park and its mountain biking trails, and stretches of sandy coastline, including one of the only nudist beaches in Wales. Explore on foot or horseback, by train or bike, before pitching your tent at campgrounds at the base of mountains, glamping pods near slate quarries-turned-adventure activity centres, or caravan parks near the coast.
Isle of Anglesey
Replete with glamping grounds, caravan parks, and seaview campsites, Anglesey off the coast of northwest Wales is a must-visit for lovers of adventure and the great outdoors. Not only is Anglesey home to several castles, this secluded and historical island is looped by a scenic coastal path and is the ideal place to try sea kayaking, coasteering, and surfing.
Llŷn Peninsula
Campers will be spoilt for choice on the Llŷn Peninsula—also known as Snowdon’s Arm—a scenic spot home to numerous Blue Flag beaches, surfable and sailable seas in Abersoch and Pwllheli, and charming seaside towns, as well as glamping pods, caravan parks, and sea view campsites. Go to one of the coolest pubs in the region (it’s situated quite literally on the beach!) or walk the coastal path before visiting nearby Bardsey Island, a birdwatching hotspot.
When to go
Bangor is warmer over the summer months between June and September, although this is also peak tourism season. September is a good time to visit the city if you plan to go further afield and explore but this is also when the annual university cohort arrives, and Bangor proper can therefore feel rowdier than usual. Both spring and autumn are generally quieter and pleasant (even for camping), while February welcomes the annual Bangor Music Festival.
Know before you go
- Several camping stores sit in Bangor and the surrounding areas, so don’t worry if you’ve forgotten any essential items.
- Bangor is well-connected by road and rail with other English and Welsh destinations, including Liverpool, Holyhead, Manchester, Cardiff, and even London.
- The student population in Bangor means that dining options are abundant and usually affordable.
- You can buy ferry tickets for Dublin (which depart from Holyhead) in Bangor city centre.
