  • Small-scale site on a Snowdonia smallholding close to the A470
  • A 20-minute drive to Blaenau Ffestiniog; half an hour to Snowdon
  • Village pub and shop 15 minutes’ walk; firepit at each pitch
With walks around local mountains and lakes or zipwires, subterranean trampolines and mountain biking a short drive away, Camp Stesion is an almost wild camping site which is never too far from outdoorsy activities… that’s very good news for the active sorts. Just as good news for scenery seekers is that this laidback site is in a splendid part of Snowdonia and part of a small smallholding where mornings are marked by mountain views, or perhaps an early start to make the most of Blaenau Ffestiniog, the Zip World Slate Caverns and Antur Stiniog’s mountain biking trails (which are all 20 minutes’ drive away) or to climb Mount Snowdon (you'll have choice of six paths up to the summit about half an hour's drive away). This is a small-scale campsite where under-14s are not permitted on site. Here, you get almost the same feeling as you would out in the wilds, just with the comforts of toilets, hot showers, an outdoor sink and drinking water. There’s no wifi here, but there's good 4G coverage across the spacious pitches (each of which is about 300 square metres). In addition, each pitch has a firepit. As this is a quiet area next to the village of Trawsfynydd, the peace is kept since loud music, group bookings and motorhomes are not allowed. Easy to get about? Another tick in the box. The site is just off the A470 and there’s a biking centre just 10 minutes’ drive away. Trawsfynydd is accessible on foot (15 minutes’ walk) – there you’ll be able to grab basic supplies in the village shop or cosy in for a meal in the local pub.

What customers say

This peaceful, adult-only campsite offers spacious pitches with fire pits and stunning mountain views. Facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and hot showers, are consistently praised for cleanliness and quality. It's conveniently located for exploring Snowdonia. Some minor issues like occasional road noise and a need for more privacy between pods have been noted, but generally, guests highly recommend the site for its tranquil atmosphere and excellent amenities, with many planning return visits.

Cwt Cariad shepherd's hut (hot tub)

Liked Everything!

It’s the second time we’ve been. The accommodation is lovely and hot tub was absolutely fantastic. We would’ve come back here anyway, but it’s a great addition.
The instructions for the hot tub are easy to follow if you haven’t used one before and we got great use out of it!

The kitchen is well equipped, so useful! Lovely shower and toilet facilities too.

The accommodation is lovely and private and it’s a lovely peaceful area, were happy that this is made sure of with no music ect.

The weather wasn’t on our side this year, however we were warm and cozy and still used the hot tub (at least once) every day, and it was fascinating to see the dramatic clouds over the mountains!

We also LOVE the local village shop.

Our favourite place, we’re already planning for next year.

Bee camping pod

Liked Cosy pod, quiet setting, gorgeous view, clean and useful facilities, lovely private area including your own firepit. This was our second time staying here and we will definitely be back again. We absolutely love it.

Disliked We stayed on a Wednesday night, and on the Thursday morning the land immediately behind the site began having some sort of quarrying work done on it, which was fairly noisy. But not too disruptive. Not much they can do about that, and it didn't happen the other time we stayed either so probably temporary.

A scenic and comfortable place to explore from.

Fox Den with hammocks cabin

Liked Great location, you can see the mountains all around. The site was very quiet and there are signs reminding people to not play music, it's very much a place to go and chill and explore from.

Also, we did not see any staff there the when time - I say that as a positive. We turned up, texted them that we were there, and we're able to go straight to the pod and it was all super easy. Kitchen and bathroom areas were very clean, shower is surprisingly good. Location itself is great, you can get anywhere in the country and there are shops, pubs, and petrol stations nearby.

The pod itself is great, simple but comfortable. Has some usb ports, and the Fox Den has two hammocks outside by the fire pit which is a great touch.

Local attractions

Kicking off your getaway with some action won’t be a problem. Take a 35-minute walk to Llyn Trawsfynydd and you could be hiking, cycling or fishing. Up for a drive instead? Tear up the mountain biking trails of Coed-y-Brenin (15 minutes’ drive) and the downhill runs at Antur Stiniog (20 minutes). Zip World Slate Caverns (20 minutes) has zipwires and underground trampolines for bounces beneath the slate. A little history for you too? Blaenau Ffestiniog (20 minutes) is a historic mining town with plenty of that to explore, or you could tackle the Precipice Walk (20 minutes), a scenic trail that traces the route of an old tramway. There’s really plenty of variety around here to keep everyone busy, from the Pistyll y Cain (20 minutes) waterfall to Barmouth’s seaside amusements and many outdoor activities (35 minutes).
