Caravan and Motorhome Club member and looking for a small and peaceful site in Eryri (formerly Snowdonia) National Park? They’ve got you covered at Tŷ Cerrig Certificated Location, set on a third-generation family-run sheep farm five minutes’ drive from the tiny hamlet of Rhydymain, and they’ve thrown in spectacular views of forest and mountains for good measure too. You have a choice of neatly maintained riverside pitches, all of which have electric hook-ups, drinking water and wifi. A track leads to a smartly converted stone barn with pristine toilet and shower facilities. The site sits alongside the Afon (river) Tŷ Cerrig, and you can exercise your canine chums on numerous walks directly into the countryside. It’s easy to access thanks to its proximity to the A494, and is positioned between Bala and Dolgellau (both 15 minutes’ drive), historic market towns rich in charm and leisure opportunities as well as having a few shops, cafés, pubs and takeaways.

What customers say

This small, peaceful sheep farm campsite is set in a beautiful valley with a stream running through it. Guests praise the exceptionally friendly and helpful owners, the stunning views, and the well-maintained, clean facilities, including a kitchen, shower, and toilet. Electric and water points are conveniently located. The location offers lovely walks and is a good base for excursions. The only noted drawback is the single shower/toilet block, though many found this not to be an issue.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch (members only)

Liked I love this place, quite far from the road, no noise from the road (a stream flows nearby) great place. water and electricity available nearby

Disliked There's only one toilet, and I waited over an hour with the kids for one of the lady to take a shower. The toilet is connected to with the shower, but it's really high-quality. That's one thing that can be a problem when there are a lot of people at the campsite.

Electric grass and gravel touring pitch (members only)

Liked Spotless sight. Friendly helpful owners. Ample waste and recycling facilities. Leveling blocks and rubbers mats available. Kitchen area incredible. Only one toilet & shower and at peak times can have a wait, not long as everyone was mindful during our stay. Owners are looking to expand on this and hearing the passion and thoughts on how to develop and improve is inspiring. They really do care.
Wifi available.
Location is good, bus stop a short walk away with bus running every two hours.
Lovely walks a 10 minute drive away.
Peaceful nights stay. Felt safe, cctv onsite.

Thank you for welcoming us. We enjoyed our stay
