Quiet, laid-back, family run site on riverbank
"What a fantastic wee hidden gem."
"This is a no frills fantastic little site"

‘Don’t expect a swimming pool, a bar or a shop’ say the owners of Dolgamedd Caravan and Camping Park – this laidback Gwynedd site is a place that's all about the joy of no-frills stays, embracing the natural setting and soaking up the peace of its fabulous Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park location. Indeed there may be no pool, but this laidback family-run site has something that's arguably just as enticing, as it's on the banks of the Wnion river, with direct access to the river for fishing, paddles and swims if you like (chillier than a pool, perhaps, but still a whole lot of fun…) Guests have been coming here for many years, with several of them returning time and again for repeated doses of the peaceful atmosphere on site and the plethora of outdoor activities available in the local area. Dolgellau (10 minutes' drive) is a well-known hub for walkers and hikers, and there are plenty of options nearby for mountain bikers and climbers too. Getting out and about should be fairly straightforward, as the site is only a little way off the A494 and has a bus stop almost outside. The evening activity of choice on site is usually a quiet glass of wine and a barbecue or campfire by the river – and to keep that peaceful vibe going there's a no-music policy here, and a general request to preserve the peace (party types and large groups will need to look elsewhere for their accommodation). Although this site is no-frills in style, it does have a good collection of essential facilities for its guests – these include toilets, showers, wifi, a launderette, a shared fridge and freezer, a washing-up area and a chemical disposal point.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (riverside)

Liked: Gorgeous spot right on the riverbank. Large pitch with picnic bench, bbq stand and fire circle. Lovely welcome, clean facilities, kitchen area.

Disliked: My only little quibble is the road noise but the sound of the river was louder and it was very quiet overnight.

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch (riverside)

Liked: I pitched in the overflow field across the road from the main campsite, so it was lovely and dark and quiet at night. Good facilities, well kept and tidy site. Friendly and helpful staff. Very easy to get into Dolgellau without a car as the bus stops right outside the site. Lots of lovely walks direct from the campsite.

Matthew L. May 2025

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch (riverside)

Liked: The pitches were lovely (lower riverside) quiet, clean, flat, and the fire pit by the riverbank.

Shower/toilet blocks were clean. Lovely to have hot shower on site.

WiFi up at the reception area, other than that no signal anywhere on site (perfect for a break away from life)

Washing up facilities by main block were ideal, used them to bulk wash out kitchenware before we packed up.

Owners/management were amazing, accommodated us and allowed us to alter the booking at short notice (luckily the pitches were available for an extra night!)

Location - stunning, peaceful, the kids absolutely loved paddling in the river by the pitch.

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (riverside)

Liked: Lovely welcome and well kept site. Great pitch by the river. Facilities good and clean. It was a real bonus to be able to have a camp fire. Plan on going back.

Disliked: The road was a little close to our pitch but everything else about our location more than made up for it. Won’t stop me booking again and asking for the same spot.

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch (riverside)

Liked: Excellent site. The staff were very helpful. The location of the site is very good with shops and eating places a short drive away. The actual pitch was down by the river which was very good.

Disliked: Be aware that during the day pitch number 5 can get noisy. It is next to the tarzan swing over the river.

Local attractions

This area is home to some of the most popular walking trails in Eryri/Snowdonia National Park, including the Torrent Walk and Precipice Walk (both trailheads are within 10 minutes' drive). Those of a more ambitious nature may like to tackle the Minffordd Path up Cadair Idris (15 minutes away) or the mountain bike paths at Coed-y-Brenin (20 minutes) while families and leisure cyclists try the riverside Mawddach Trail (10 minutes). Up the thrill levels again with an activity at the National White Water Centre (half an hour) or one of the adventures on offer at Zip World Llechwedd (40 minutes). All a bit too hair-raising? Opt instead to visit the Dyfi Osprey Project (half an hour) or take a stroll around the colourful village of Portmeirion (40 minutes). Taking to the coast is always an option, too – perhaps for some bird spotting at RSPB Mawddach Valley (10 minutes), some history at Harlech Castle (45 minutes) or a day on the beach at Barmouth (25 minutes).
