  • Peaceful touring park 10 minutes' walk from central Blaenau Ffestiniog
  • Portmeirion, Harlech Castle and Snowdon within a half-hour drive
  • A 20-minute walk from Zip World Llechwedd's zipwire and Bounce Below
To some it’s famed for its historic steam trains and slate caverns; to others it’s a buzzing hive of outdoorsy activities. But whatever brings you to Blaenau Ffestiniog, it's a good bet to bag a berth at Quarry View Touring Park. This quiet touring park has been set up with life’s essentials in mind: a picnic area provides a place for open-air eats, and there’s a washing-up area, chemical disposal point and a waste area with recycling bins. Likewise, the shower blocks have been thoughtfully kitted out: benches and hooks save your clobber from damp patches and shaver points and a hairdryer will keep you looking dapper. And although there's no wifi on site, the presence of three mobile phone masts nearby means that most guests should be able to access 4G services. Any amenities that aren’t on site are most likely available nearby: it takes 10 minutes or so to walk into town for shops, a cinema, pubs and takeaways or to board a train from the station (regular services run from here to Llandudno and Betws-y-Coed as well as the heritage line to Porthmadog). Also within walking distance are the adrenaline activities at Zip World Llechwedd, including the Titan zipwire and Bounce Below, both set up in repurposed slate caverns. Looking to explore further afield? An excellent idea – this nifty location is under half an hour’s drive from Portmeirion, Harlech Castle and Snowdonia National Park.

Electric gravel touring pitch (large)

Liked: The site was very clean and tidy. Pitches were a good size although quite tight to swing into. Toilet and shower facilities were excellent - clean, warm and seemed fairly new. Disabled shower and toilet facilities were available.

Disliked: A very tight turn into the road leading up to the site then into sight. Same on leaving - not much room with a caravan. I felt the disabled shower could have done with a couple of additional rails. Nothing to hold onto when crossing to be under the shower. Felt very nervous in case of slipping

Electric gravel touring pitch (large)

Liked: Great location, had the comforts we needed (electricity, good shower facilities, some local guidance for restaurants / takeaways)… and a nice welcome into the site. Waking up surrounded by the slate mountains felt like a view you can’t fake - it was impressive, imposing, and was a privilege to be surrounded by this view. Made a vlog of our time away... Can't share a link, but if you're really interested in a glimpse of the site search on YouTube for: "Adventures in Gloria (Estevan) - Wales - Day 5/5" on "Dave Owen" channel. Good luck!

Disliked: The weather wasn't great...

Liked: Great site. Nice locations with a small town within walking distance. Friendly staff on check in and decent sized pitches. Waste and water opposite our pitch and clean shower and toilet facilities. We went to Zip World which was just a short drive up the road which was a great experience.

Local attractions

Even if you’re not much of a train buff, it’s worth taking a trip on the Ffestiniog Railway – the steam-powered services take in some of Snowdonia’s most spectacular scenery as they wend their way down to the coast at Porthmadog. If you’ve got an appetite for more, connect here for the Welsh Highland Railway all the way up to Caernarfon. If you’d like to explore under your own steam, there are heaps of hikes in the surrounding Snowdonia National Park – Snowdon itself is just a few miles away, or you may prefer a quieter clamber up Crimpiau from Capel Curig or a circuit of Llyn Idwal from Ogwen Cottage for something a bit less leg-busting (both routes about half an hour's drive). The site is also a few minutes’ amble from the Antur Stiniog mountain bike trails, with an uplift service that’s been tipped as the country’s best. Not enough adrenaline yet? The site is also a 10-minute stroll from Titan ZipWorld (to fly along two kilometres of zipline) and the underground adventure park in an old slate cavern at Bounce Below. Calm that heart rate a little by heading coastwards for a trip to pretty Portmeirion or a wander around the castle and beach in Harlech – both are about half an hour away by car.
