Walks from the pitches

  • Pop-up site 10 minutes’ drive from Beddgelert in Eryri National Park
  • Yr Wyddfa 15 minutes’ walk and Betws-y-Coed half an hour’s drive
  • Off-grid wilderness site; dogs are welcome and campfires allowed
When you’re trying to get far, far away from the madding crowd, do it North Wales style. Take yourself off to Ffridd Llyndy Isaf, a tiny and low-maintenance site on a National Trust-owned farm in the middle of Eryri (formerly Snowdonia) National Park. While facilities really are of the wild camping variety – a non-drinking water tap and a loo in a wooden hut – the views from the peaceful pitches looking over to Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and Llyn Dinas are simply stunning. In such a remote spot, you’ll also have to forgo showers, electricity and wifi, but that’s a small inconvenience when you’re in such a dramatic setting. You can also look forward to colourful sunsets and dazzling celestial displays on clear evenings as you sit around your campfire – buy food for barbecues in Beddgelert (10 minutes’ drive). You have a choice of many walks from the pitches, and there’s easy access to the Watkin Path (to the summit of Yr Wyddfa) 10 minutes’ drive away; dogs are welcome on site and they’ll certainly get a decent stretch of their paws. There’s just one rule, really: guests are expected to respect the land, take their rubbish with them and leave the site exactly as they found it.

What customers say

Wonderful views, quiet spot, great for hiking w/ helpful owner. But, some found pitches steep/muddy, had to leave early. Car park to pitch walk is a bit of a trek.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked N/A

Disliked Really quite awful. When we got there we found the site had only a small amount of flat space that was already taken. Everywhere else was either on a steep incline or waterlogged. We ended up cutting our trip short and going back home instead of staying here.

Disliked Walk from car park to pitch. Not really a dislike, just would have been easier if closer to the car.
