Dog-friendly camping with mountain views between Anglesey and Snowdonia

Tyn Y Ffridd Farm is set between the mountains and the sea. It's 10 minutes to the edge of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia), 10 minutes to the Menai Bridge, connecting beach-fringed Anglesey with the Welsh mainland, and 15 minutes to the foot of Yr Wfydda (Mount Snowdon). In short, it's a cracking North Wales location.

On the surface, Tyn Y Ffridd Farm is a small campsite. Technically there are just 10 camping pitches. But it's bigger than the stats imply. This is a pitch-where-you-please campsite on a vast scale and there’s plenty of room to spread out. Campers have access across some 30 acres: Most choose to stay in the main camping field for easy access to the facilities but if you’re feeling adventurous you can strike out into the surrounding fields and woodland.

In the main camping area, toilets, showers and a handy communal kitchen are all housed in a former farm building. The kitchen has a microwave, kettle and fridge and there’s a brick-built barbecue and pizza oven outside as well. Campfires are allowed and there are a limited number of fire pits available to borrow free of charge.

Campers are not the only guests on Tyn Y Fridd Farm; there are holiday cottages and cabins here too. They all have access to the shared social spaces: The Cow Shed is an undercover space with sofas, seating, a pool table, and ping pong (a great asset in bad weather). But when the sun shines, it’s time to get out there and explore all that North Wales to offer. Whizz down zip lines at Penrhyn Quarry, spend a day at the beach, or explore Beaumaris Castle. You won't be short of choices.

Enjoy a night under the stars in your own tent. Get back to nature & enjoy some time away from the hustle & bustle with friends and family. Located at Tyn Y Ffridd Farm on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park you will have access to enjoy 30 acres of private farm land with views across to the Snowdonia Range. There is a shower & toilet block plus a communal kitchen for you to use. This is a working farm so if you choose a remote part of the farm away from the toilet & shower block you might be joined by sheep & cows - so don’t forget suitable footwear.

Great campsite and facilities. Everyone is spaced out enough to enjoy your privacy. I'd recommend having a walk around before you drive on to find a pitch beat suited to you.

Beautiful place to stay
Fantastic site! So made up with the kitchenette and shower/toilet facilities! Never stayed at a campsite with access to stuff like that. The barns were great for playing board games in too. Safe for kids too because we had direct line of site to the play area and the large open space in front of the tent. There is a bit of a slope to the site but that's easy to navigate really. It also decided to have a storm there when we stayed and we really felt it but unfortunately you can't book the weather when you book the pitch Also loved the fact that the RAF were flying their jets overhead on some days too. Beautiful location and lovely and peaceful. Would definitely go again and would recommend too

Lovely site overall,would recommend
Lovely campsite with fab facilities, they really have thought of everything. Improvements? Well, not clear on initial hip camp page that you couldn’t take car onto field which was a little disappointing. It was only after booking that we found this out in the conditions. Toilet and shower facilities great overall but in most of the toilets there was no toilet paper on arrival but neither had it been replenished the next morning.

Fantastic campsite with great views and surroundings to explore. I took my dogs here and they loved it. I'm definitely planning to go back for another short stay as we loved it here.

Absolutely, utterly impressed by this campsite. Incredibly affordable (especially with everything the site includes) and well maintained. Plenty of toilets, showers and sinks for the size of the site. Though we didn't use them personally, there is a communal kitchen and indoor recreation room, which was nice to see. The grounds offer opportunity for pitching close to the facilities or in more secluded areas so there's something for everyone. Lovely views of the mountains behind the farm to wake up to in the morning. Great location as we were able to get to nearby towns and beaches quickly (and it handily connects to the A55 so getting home early in the morning was made easier too.) This site had everything we needed, and more, so I'll always be impressed by the price we paid. I plan to return to this area again in the future and I would be more than eager to return to Tyn Y Ffridd.

Nearby attractions

Tyn Y Ffridd Farm is in the little settlement of Waen-Wen, not far of the A55, North Wales Expressway, and just over three miles from Bangor. Penrhyn Castle (four miles from site) is on its outskirts. The Menai Bridge to Anglesey is just beyond and the village of Menai Bridge is only seven miles from site. On the island, Plas Newydd House and Gardens (eight miles) and Beaumaris Castle (12 miles) are popular places to visit. For a sandy beach, head for Traeth Llanddwyn (18 miles). The edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park is about eight miles from site with plenty of hiking, mountain biking and climbing on offer. Yr Wfydda (Snowdon) itself one of the closest peaks to the campsite. You can tackle it on the Llanberis route which starts just eight miles from site and if you’re not up to the hike (or just fancy going one way), the Snowdon Mountain Railway connects Llanberis with the 1,085 summit too. Zip World’s Penrhyn Quarry site is one of the closest attractions to site, just five miles away. The fastest zip line in the world is among the attractions there.

Food and drink

The closest shop is a couple of miles away at the garage on the main road – handy for the basics. For more than that, head a little further into Bangor (three miles). The Slate in Tal-y-Bont (three miles) is one of the closest places for a meal out and offers a good varied menu put together with what’s in season locally. For seafood, head to Menai Bridge (seven miles) to try Dylan’s for waterfront dining or The Anglesey Arms.
