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.

Host was lovely, he showed us around and got us familiar with the hot tub when we arrived. He was kind enough to guide us over the phone when we’d got a bit lost on arrival to the site. Had a really nice stay, and would recommend.

Lovely view, old school campsite where you can pitch anywhere.
3 toilets, 2 showers, adequate but not always the cleanest. Showers cost £1 and were push button which needed pushing every 30 seconds.
Close to the coastal path and a lovely walk to Aberdaron.
The field was pretty slopey in places but plenty on flat enough places to pitch.

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!

3 nights at Smugglers Cove Boatyard
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?

Where to go
Llyn Peninsula
The Llyn Peninsula fans out from Pwllheli: a tranquil, green finger of land protruding 30 miles into the sea from the rest of North Wales. Many of North Wales’ best beaches are here, as is the good surfing at Abersoch and Porth Neigwl. Walking is wonderful too, with the Wales Coast Path skirting the shore. Excellent campsites are scattered across the Llyn: the mini-peninsula immediately beyond Aberdaron and the southwestern tip of the Llyn are especially good.
Morfa Harlech & Morfa Dyffryn
More superlative shoreline awaits just beyond the Llyn Peninsula on the east side of Tremadog Bay, headlined by Morfa Harlech NNR’s tremendous wildlife-rich dune systems and Morfa Dyffryn’s vast sands. A skyline featuring Snowdonia’s pointy summits, the Llyn’s sand-flanked coast and mighty, Unesco-listed Harlech Castle edges the miles of paradisiacal beach, making for a mesmerising place to pitch. Try tenting up on Shell Island, north of Morfa Dyffryn, one of Europe’s biggest campsites with 300 allocated acres of camping.
Snowdon & Around
Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) is among the UK’s most popular outdoor destinations—and Britain’s highest land south of the Scottish Highlands. Gateway village Llanberis, from where trails and a railway run up the peak, is 27 miles northeast of Pwllheli, though other paths lead onto Snowdon from Beddgelert, just 20 miles northeast. While Snowdon is busy, plot a hike away from it and you’ll discover glorious, less-frequented mountain country.
When to go
Like much of North Wales, Pwllheli is close enough to Snowdonia’s mountains to receive its fair share of awful weather. July and August are the warmest months; October through December is the wettest period. For campers and yachters, July brings the calmest weather of the year. Surfers will want to consider the months with big swells—November to April—although many campsites are only open in the April to September tourist season.
