In the grounds of a 14th-century Snowdonian manor house
Wildlife haven and stargazing area
Eco-friendly wild camping among hiking and cycling trails

Now this is a historic setting… Hafod Hall Camping Club, a family-owned site among the Snowdonia mountains, is so old and so famed that even Henry 8 once a-wandered around its land (the rotund one was one of several famed figures who's owned or leased this 14th-century building throughout the centuries). These days the land of the property is made up of 650 acres of nature reserve including the Alwen Reservoir and Woodlands, and the grounds of the hall are home not to delinquent kings but to a collection of accommodation areas. Like kings and celebs of yore, anyone staying at Hafod Hall will be in a remote and peaceful place, among spectacular views of the Welsh mountains and under the clear stars of a Snowdonia night (Hafod Hall is in a designated dark sky area). The surrounding area is splendid for hikers and cyclists, with several local trails to choose from. Hafod is an eco-friendly site, in a wildlife haven home to over 50 species of local birds. Guests will have use of a shower block with four toilets and two showers, and are welcome to construct campfires to keep warm of an evening (but please note you'll need to use the firepits provided, and buy your wood on site). This is a wild camping site and it's possible you may have to walk up to the top field – it's a little walk but you'll be rewarded with some fab views… Please note that there's no mobile signal or wifi here: guests are welcome to use the landline. Kids are only allowed on site if over the age of 14 (and will be classed as adults for charging purposes).

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Almost wild camping but with a toilet and camping. It was great that the pitches were spread out so it felt like we were on our own, great for a slightly barky dog! Great welcome from the friendly and helpful staff. We would definitely camp here again!

Liked: Loved the location, felt very secluded and personal exactly how they advertise it - wild camping while still being able to use toilets and showers and having a fresh water supply! Highly recommend

Matthew A. Jul 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Semi wild camping. Friendly greeting from the owners. They showed us to the hillside camping area and the facilities, carted our gear up with the quad bike and left us to it, which was great. Ok to have a fire and despite it being a fairly busy weekend with a few large groups the hillside is big enough to get a quiet spot. It’s about as near to wild camping as you get with the added benefits of toilets and a shower! No wifi/phone signal so you can relax and get away from work etc

Disliked: Only a really minor point but a sink in the toilet block to wash your hands would be good. Other than that, if you like a slightly wilder camp there’s nothing to dislike.

Not bad, shame not looked after properly though

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Nice views, space for fire, not overcrouded.

Disliked: Toilets and shower are way to far from pitches. Paths to pitches are soo muddy hatd to walk, £12 for box of fire wood? Seriously?

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: I am sorry you didn't like our sight but I think you chose the wrong place for your family.as you are the lowest review we've had in 2 years There are a large number of pitches close to the toilets which would have been more suitable. I am afraid we have no control over rain or mud so you chose to camp on a pitch that wasn't suitable and as far as the wood it burns long and hot and we have never had a complaint

Local attractions

Hiking, biking, fishing, climbing, mountain biking, kayaking… and all in spectacular scenery: use Hafod Hall as a handy base for Snowdonia and north Wales, or stay close to base to investigate river and countryside, wildlife and the night sky of the Snowdonia International Dark Sky Reserve. The mining heritage of Denbighshire, Wrexham and north Wales can be explored at Talargoch, which has the only Cornish-style engine house still standing in north Wales, and at the Minera Lead Mines, now a country park and heritage attraction. The Bersham Colliery Mining Museum at Wrexham tells the tale of the region’s coal mining. You could also have a couple of days coastwards, to the likes of seaside towns Rhyl and Prestatyn, hike the Denbigh moors and sail or fish on Llyn Brenig reservoir, or tackle some of the famed fishing in the area, such as for salmon at the River Dee, and trout and more salmon at the River Elwy.
