  • 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.

What customers say

This campsite boasts stunning views and a friendly, helpful atmosphere. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are consistently praised for their cleanliness. Families particularly enjoy the play park and the opportunity to feed the farm animals. The location is ideal for exploring surrounding attractions. While most visitors have a positive experience, some mention the narrow access road and occasional Wi-Fi issues. Fire pit rules are enforced and may be a consideration for some.

Camping pod

Liked Lovely little hidden site, right in the middle of where we wanted to visit.
The donkeys and alpacas were so friendly and cute too. The guy who owned the place kept giving my son little bits to feed them and he was so happy 😊
We booked the pod for our stay and, with our own camping equipment, was so comfortable and quiet too.
There's not a lot for older children to do so remember to take something to keep them entertained.

Disliked The drinking water is from a natural spring, which is amazing, but after a little rain this does run a little dirty coloured. My son wouldn't touch it at all. This was my only negative but we brought our own anyway and up until the rain it was crystal clear.

Liked Wonderful campsite, fantastic facilities including fridge and freezer, washers and dryers, microwave and a family bathroom. Lovely little shop selling a variety of of essentials and local produce.
The views are incredible, surrounded by hills and farmland. The owners are lovely and so helpful. There is also a walk around the farm, donkeys to feed and a play area for the kids.

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.
