Overlooking the Mawddach Estuary, one of the most beautiful in Wales, the views are breathtaking. Step straight onto the scenic Mawddach cycle Trail from our camping field. The mountains are all around, with sandy beaches, castles, steam trains, zip lines and bike trails close by. Whether you prefer a cottage, cosy wagon or yurt or sleeping under the stars, Graig Wen offers you a range of quality accommodation. Our small, tranquil campsite has direct access to the beautiful Mawddach Estuary. There’s a sheltered area with electric hook ups for a handful of camper vans or roof tents close to our washing facilities, wagons, yurts and cottages. If you really want to get away from it all, go wild and pitch your tent down near the estuary to star gaze around a camp fire. Dogs on leads welcome. Pitches in our our car-free tent fields are well spaced out with loads of breathing space for everyone. For family glamping adventures and romantic retreats you can also hideaway in one of our four pet-friendly yurts, Jones the shepherd's hut or new quarry wagons. You’ll be blown away by the views, scenery and seclusion…but have a bit of comfort too!

The hosts are very friendly! > > - Lisanne V., September 5, 2026 > We had the most wonderful stay at Graig Wen and would love to come back as soon as possible. Such a peaceful setting and our children loved the secluded pitch. Would definitely recommend! X > > - Alice T., August 13, 2026 > The site was fantastic. Stunning location, walking distance of plenty of walks. All the different camping sections had plenty of space and Sarah was supper friendly and helpful. When we got back too late for the shop, Sarah left wood out for us so we could have a fire (paid the following day). Easy to check in and out. Our yurt was clean, spacious and all the essentials were provided. The midges were in force, but supplies available at the shop to keep them at bay. > > - Bethany B., June 28, 2026 > Fantastic camp site. Lovely views and the facilities were spotless. Would definitely come back. Thanks again > > - Sam P., June 8, 2026
