  • Family-run farm on the edge of Snowdonia National Park
  • Donkeys, llamas, chickens and more to see on site
  • Well-known walking country with hundreds of acres direct from the farm
Off to Wales to wander? Pitch up at superbly scenic Tyn Yr Onnen Farm, on the edge of Snowdonia National Park between the Moel Eilio and the Elephant Mountains (Mynydd Mawr), for a hiking holiday you won't forget. Keen-footed wayfarers of all abilities can wander hundreds of acres of heathland direct from the farm including a route right up to Snowdon's peak – although if that thought makes you pale, the Snowdon Mountain Railway with its more relaxed summit accessing is only a few miles away. Guests also travel to Tyn Yr Onnen Farm and this part of north Wales for the coastline and beaches of the Llŷn Peninsula and the Isle of Anglesey within easy driving distance, and to get down with Wales's mighty heritage at the likes of the National Slate Centre and the castles of Harlech, Caernarfon, Bangor, Beaumaris, all nearby. On site, llamas, donkeys, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys and newborn lambs in spring inhabit the farm for the kids to coo at: Tyn Yr Onnen is a working 180-acre sheep farm managed by the Griffiths family for over 300 years. Pitches are sheltered, with loads of room for barbecues, and campfires are allowed in one of the camping fields. The children can entertain themselves at the play area with swings, roundabouts and sandpit (parental supervision required at all times, of course), while the grownups should be chuffed at the clean and modern amenities in the refurbished toilet and shower block, with free hot showers, baby changing, disabled facilities and a utility room with washing-up area, campers' fridge and freezer, washing machines and tumble drier. There are also 22-amp electric vehicle charging points. The local village, Waunfawr, is within walking distance and has a village shop open daily, as well as a pub serving the type of good food you want after a hike. There is also a local bus service which runs between Caernarfon and Beddgelert. Please check online for time tables and fares.

Electric grass pitch (large)

Liked Gorgeous location. Super friendly and helpful hosts. So much to do - wish we hadn't left the 'Stream bashing' till the last evening. The kids could've spent hours more playing in that gorgeous stream! Lovely facilities and well looked after.

Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Disliked Only one slight annoyance: We were at the far end of Field 3 so it was a bit of a hike to the toilet block (especially in the middle of the night)... but this is only a small niggle. It wasn't excessive and we managed!

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked Campsite was clean and well maintained with tent pitches spaced with a fair amount of room in between, and a lovely campsite dog called Griff! Quick drive to Caernarfon for any bits and bobs

Disliked The boundary between pitches isn’t very clear, which meant some children made their way on to our pitch by accident. No issue with this usually and it’s nice to see them playing outside, but it could become an issue when cooking as we had several game stoves going and with several children running around our pitch and getting dangerously close to our cooking stuff I felt like I had to monitor other people’s children so there wasn’t a disaster. Accessible vehicle is absolutely necessary as there aren’t really any shops or pubs within walking distance

Camping pod

Liked 🏕️ A wonderful camping trip at Tyn yr Onnen! 🏕️

What a beautiful few days away — the perfect place to relax, reset and spend some quality family time.

We stayed in the Moel Pod, situated right next to the park, which was perfect for the boys. We loved that the park closes at 8pm too — great for keeping things peaceful in the evenings.

The location is absolutely stunning, with beautiful views of Moel Eilio and Mynydd Mawr (Elephant Mountain) 🏔️. There are also plenty of lovely walks straight from the campsite, so there’s lots to explore without having to go far. We ventured to the Watkins path one day and had a scenic adventure to the waterfall.

We loved the well-equipped little shop on site, which had everything we needed. We also liked that we could wash / dry our clothes in the utility room, where there was also fridge / freezers and a microwave, handy for heating up food.

But the kids’ favourite part was definitely feeding the donkeys every day! 🫏Donkey food is just £1 a bag from the shop, and it quickly became part of our daily routine! 😊 along with making a fuss of the campsite dog, who we all loved 🐶

The campsite itself is clean, modern and beautifully kept, with such friendly and welcoming owners.

We’ve had a fantastic family camping trip and will definitely be looking forward to coming back next year! 🏕️❤️

Thank you Tyn yr Onnen for a wonderful stay! 🥰

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful setting, quick access to N. Wales best attractions. Hot, clean showers and great washing up/kitchen area. Never had to wait for any amenities. Play area and farm animals were a lovely bonus for the kids.

Disliked My plot had a bit of a slope which was manageable - just meant we had to put things under table legs etc.

Overall a fantastic experience and we will be back. Already planning!

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked For our first time visiting wales it was perfect. Our kids loved the donkeys and the play park.
Staff were always so friendly. The amount of information on the site for different hikes in the area is just perfect. The lovely little shop that stocked the essentials and some handmade soap’s from a local lady was the best!

Disliked Only issue was the shower drain in the family shower wasn’t cleaned out one time and my husband did have to remove it and pull out a rather large hair sausage.

Local attractions

The surrounding area has heaps to see and do alongside the rambles, coastlines and castles: if you get a bit stuck for choice, ask the family for their top picks. Within a short drive are Zip World in Bethesda (home to Velocity, the fastest zipline in the world and the longest in Europe), Zip World Caverns in Blaenau Ffestiniog and GreenWood Forest Park, a family adventure park in Y Felinheli. Rather conveniently, one of Wales's top attractions is less than five miles from Tyn Yr Onnen Farm, the National Slate Museum in Llanberis, where kids can get stuck into the story of the country's mining heritage amid talks and demos, quarrymen's houses and interactive play activities. Llanberis village is where many set out to climb Snowdon as the Llanberis Path begins here, winding up the least taxing route (we'll point out again that the Snowdon Mountain Railway goes to the top too). The village is also a popular place for adventurous activities like kayaking, coasteering, scuba diving, mountain biking, pony trekking and high ropes courses. Another popular pull of these parts is the Dinorwig Power Station or Electric Mountain: take an underground tour, set the kids free to play in the den, or test your wits in the Genius Corner puzzle room.
