Ysgubor Wen Eco Camping

Peaceful location with very spacious pitches!

Quiet five-acre site for adults only with sea and mountain views
A five-minute drive to the beach; 35 minutes to the Llŷn Peninsula
Nearly-wild site with firepits and wood available for a fee

Go nearly wild at Ysgubor Wen Eco Camping, set in the open North Wales countryside. With tents-only pitches and only adults invited, you’ll be in for a quiet, relaxing stay down a country lane and a mile away from any main roads. Each private pitch is in its own separate plot, surrounded by either long meadow grasses and wildflowers or tucked into the trees. Made up of a mixture of meadows and a small managed woodland, this remote five-acre site was created nearly 30 years ago as a private nature reserve. Naturally, it’s become a haven for wildlife because conservation has been the focus. Plus, there’s limited light pollution, just what you need for the big starry night skies that frequent this area, 15 minutes’ drive from the edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Get yourself into a prime position for stargazing around a firepit. They’re available along with wood for a small fee (and subject to availability), but feel free to bring your own wood. The other facilities at your disposal are two composting toilets with sinks and a washing-up area. The scenery is rather splendid here. There are views of the national park and Snowdon mountain from the site. Spy on the sea and the countryside too; the nearest beach is just five minutes’ drive away in case you were wondering. Bird or wildlife watching is great too. The site operates a no-car policy, so after parking up at the entrance, shift your camping gear using the available wheelbarrows and get settled in with your dog (well-behaved canines on a lead are welcome).
