  • Peaceful touring park 10 minutes' walk from central Blaenau Ffestiniog
  • Portmeirion, Harlech Castle and Snowdon within a half-hour drive
  • A 20-minute walk from Zip World Llechwedd's zipwire and Bounce Below
To some it’s famed for its historic steam trains and slate caverns; to others it’s a buzzing hive of outdoorsy activities. But whatever brings you to Blaenau Ffestiniog, it's a good bet to bag a berth at Quarry View Touring Park. This quiet touring park has been set up with life’s essentials in mind: a picnic area provides a place for open-air eats, and there’s a washing-up area, chemical disposal point and a waste area with recycling bins. Likewise, the shower blocks have been thoughtfully kitted out: benches and hooks save your clobber from damp patches and shaver points and a hairdryer will keep you looking dapper. And although there's no wifi on site, the presence of three mobile phone masts nearby means that most guests should be able to access 4G services. Any amenities that aren’t on site are most likely available nearby: it takes 10 minutes or so to walk into town for shops, a cinema, pubs and takeaways or to board a train from the station (regular services run from here to Llandudno and Betws-y-Coed as well as the heritage line to Porthmadog). Also within walking distance are the adrenaline activities at Zip World Llechwedd, including the Titan zipwire and Bounce Below, both set up in repurposed slate caverns. Looking to explore further afield? An excellent idea – this nifty location is under half an hour’s drive from Portmeirion, Harlech Castle and Snowdonia National Park.

What customers say

This adults-only site gets kudos for spotless, well-kept facilities, great showers/toilets. Pitches are spacious, level, private, often with water hookups. Owners are consistently friendly & helpful. Ideal location for exploring, easy walk to town. Mostly positive, despite a steep access road, with many wanting to return.

Tisy F.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked Friendly , clean, nice pitches , showers and everything you need. Quiet. A bit if a steep drive coming up we are 8 meters long and we manged it . Nice walk to village and we found a lovely round route dog walk. All in all brilliant site.

Disliked Not a dislike for us but our dog didn't like the gravel hurts his paws ( complete lurcher wimp so not campsites fault) but just incase anyone has a sensitive wimpy dog, take lots of treats to blackmail over gravel , like I said not campsite fault as it was very clean and kept in excellent condition.

Liked Not alot if I'm honest

Disliked local area run down nothing really to see ok for somewhere just to pull in overnight and move on. We couldn't sit outside in the evening as the midges were horrendous maybe something to do with the slate mine.Booked 3 nights and couldn't wait to leave there is building work going on right next to the pitches with a JCB digging all day long, the site is really small and compact so no getting away from the noise even on a Sunday.

Local attractions

Even if you’re not much of a train buff, it’s worth taking a trip on the Ffestiniog Railway – the steam-powered services take in some of Snowdonia’s most spectacular scenery as they wend their way down to the coast at Porthmadog. If you’ve got an appetite for more, connect here for the Welsh Highland Railway all the way up to Caernarfon. If you’d like to explore under your own steam, there are heaps of hikes in the surrounding Snowdonia National Park – Snowdon itself is just a few miles away, or you may prefer a quieter clamber up Crimpiau from Capel Curig or a circuit of Llyn Idwal from Ogwen Cottage for something a bit less leg-busting (both routes about half an hour's drive). The site is also a few minutes’ amble from the Antur Stiniog mountain bike trails, with an uplift service that’s been tipped as the country’s best. Not enough adrenaline yet? The site is also a 10-minute stroll from Titan ZipWorld (to fly along two kilometres of zipline) and the underground adventure park in an old slate cavern at Bounce Below. Calm that heart rate a little by heading coastwards for a trip to pretty Portmeirion or a wander around the castle and beach in Harlech – both are about half an hour away by car.
