Mountain campsites in Gwynedd, North Wales

Camping in Gwynedd’s mountainous terrain means waking up to misty ridges and rocky outcrops just outside your tent. With over 160 mountain-focused sites in the county, you can pitch up where Wales’ highest peaks dominate the skyline. Expect prices from as low as £10 a night, with an average around £100. Most sites welcome pets, offer hot showers, and allow campfires—handy after a day spent climbing, hiking, or casting for trout. For tried-and-tested spots, Henbant Permaculture Farm + Camp (172 reviews) sits on the edge of the hills with compost loos and sweeping views; Bwch Yn Uchaf (57 reviews) puts you beside a river at the foot of Cadair Idris; and Graig Wen - Wild Snowdonia Escapes (53 reviews) offers direct access to mountain trails right from your pitch. Bring sturdy boots, pack for unpredictable weather, and don’t forget to sort your rubbish—many sites here care deeply about the land.

Weekend Trip to Magical Roundhouse or Train Wagon

What a gorgeous place! The perfect place for a calm refuge to reset and re-enter life restored. Lovely kind hosts, beautiful views and walks straight from the roundhouse enjoyed by us and our cat Blue. Absolutely magical. Such a comfortable bed, cosy lights, cooking supplies, folk takes - all you would need. Can't thank you enough!

The most wonderful camping site!! All the facilities were spotless and overall it was such a nice peaceful place. The owners were also amazing people who were so accommodating and gave great tips on things to do etc. We could not recommend it more and definitely plan on returning!!

I can’t adequately express how wonderful our stay with Callie and Gwyn was. The camping meadow was serene with picturesque views of the sea and surrounding hills. The camping amenities such as toilets and showers were immaculately clean and which was welcome after a long day of hiking. There is also a bonus of a converted barn with fridge/freezer, games, and shelter from rain if needed. Perhaps most notable about this stay were the fantastic chats we had with the hosts who were keen to share their love for the local area with handy tips and hints. This will be perhaps the first campsite we definitely will return to. Thank you both for such a fantastic stay, we can’t wait to return!

Great views of Eryri (Snowdonia) and across to Holyhead mountain. Great that you can have fires, although I didn't on my one night stay. The bonus of being able to book the sauna was fab! I was on one of the few campervan pitches and it was very spacious.

Our family of 3 loved this place. The views are spectacular in every direction. The facilities are clean, fresh and well maintained. The weather was great when we were there, but there is a cool barn which would be great for when there is bad weather. Lots of space and some cool games to play. Very peaceful and family friendly.

Where do I start? Callie and Gwynn who greeted us when we arrived are lovely people and really looked after us whilst we were there. The site and space they have created is amazing. Toilets, showers with toiletries, kitchen, games, shelter, power for charging, views, fire pits, wash stations, washing line, well maintained land and some adorable cats! What more could you ask for?! My only regret is we visited to climb Snowden and I wish I could have stayed onsite more to take the views and peace and quiet in. Embarrassingly I mispacked something and only realised when we arrived but Callie and Gwynn went above and beyond to help and single handedly saved our trip to climb Snowdonia. We will definitely be back! Thanks guys!
