A fantastic place to camp. The facilities were great the welcome was lovely and the views amazing. Will definitely be back for a longer stay. Linda and hubby were very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. The facilities were clean and modern. The directions were clear and easy to follow. We enjoyed the fire pit and listening to the owls late into the evening. Will recommend to anyone looking to visit the area, and the eggs were delicious too.

Our second stay and even more perfect, the camper van pitch is secluded and quiet, the decking and fire pit beautiful touches for relaxing outside of the van. We were very pleasantly surprised at just how warm the showers were despite the wind and cold and the roundhouse is lovely. To top it all it’s easy to get to the coast path and marvel at the dramatic coastline. 💕

Weekend Trip to Digeddi Wildlife Camping

Lovely campsite located by the river, quiet and a ‘get away from it all’ feel. Suezi was very welcoming and accommodating. Facilities are clean albeit a bit of a trek from most of the pitches.

Where to go

Llyn Peninsula

The Llyn Peninsula and its AONB extend tantalisingly west beyond Criccieth—a tranquil green protuberance extending some 30 miles into the sea. Many of North Wales’ best beaches hem the coast, and there is good surfing at Abersoch and Porth Neigwl. The long-distance Wales Coast Path skirts the shore, too, offering beautiful walks. Among the excellent pitching places scattered across the Llyn, the coast between Criccieth and Porthmadog, as well as the peninsula’s southwestern tip, stand out for their array of campsites.

Morfa Harlech & Morfa Dyffryn

Some top-drawer shoreline awaits around Harlech, 14 miles southeast of Criccieth. It’s headlined by Morfa Harlech NNR’s tremendous, wildlife-rich dune systems and by Morfa Dyffryn’s vast sands, with a skyline featuring Snowdonia’s summits and the Llyn Peninsula’s sandy coast. Try tenting up north of Morfa Dyffryn for a prime spot.

Cwm Pennant & Moel Hebog

The rocky reaches of the 2,569-foot Moel Hebog are the closest part of Snowdonia National Park to Criccieth, rising above Cwm Pennant, five miles northeast. From the top, gorgeous views spill over the mountains and the Llyn Peninsula, and Moel yr Ogof’s intriguing cave awaits, where Welsh freedom fighter Owain Glyndŵr once hid. Excellent hikes begin in Cwm Pennant, perhaps Snowdonia’s loveliest valley, and head onto the peaks, while area riverside campsites are especially idyllic.

When to go

The main season in Criccieth runs from April to September. July is warmest, while July and August see the most visitors. If you’re here for hiking, April and May can be best, as this is before summer crowds arrive. Meanwhile, the surfing season runs from November through April. The Criccieth Festival, a long-established extravaganza of music, dance, and lectures, takes place each June as the liveliest time in Criccieth itself.
