  • Family-run farm on the edge of Snowdonia National Park
  • Donkeys, llamas, chickens and more to see on site
  • Well-known walking country with hundreds of acres direct from the farm
Off to Wales to wander? Pitch up at superbly scenic Tyn Yr Onnen Farm for a hiking holiday you won't forget. It's down a single-track road on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, between the Moel Eilio and the Elephant Mountains (Mynydd Mawr). Keen-footed wayfarers of all abilities can wander hundreds of acres of heathland directly from the farm, including a route right up to Snowdon's peak – although if that thought makes you pale, the Snowdon Mountain Railway with its more relaxed summit access is only a few miles away. Guests also travel to Tyn Yr Onnen Farm and this part of north Wales for the coastline and beaches of the Llŷn Peninsula and the Isle of Anglesey within easy driving distance, and to get down with Wales's mighty heritage at the likes of the National Slate Centre and the castles of Harlech, Caernarfon, Bangor, Beaumaris, all nearby. On site, llamas, donkeys, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys and newborn lambs in spring inhabit the farm for the kids to coo at: Tyn Yr Onnen is a working 180-acre sheep farm managed by the Griffiths family for over 300 years. Pitches are sheltered, with loads of room for barbecues, and campfires are allowed in one of the camping fields. The children can entertain themselves at the play area with swings, roundabouts and sandpit (parental supervision required at all times, of course), while the grownups should be chuffed at the clean and modern amenities in the refurbished toilet and shower block, with free hot showers, baby changing, disabled facilities and a utility room with washing-up area, campers' fridge and freezer, washing machines and tumble dryer. There are also 22-amp electric vehicle charging points. The local village, Waunfawr, is within walking distance and has a village shop open daily, as well as a pub serving the type of good food you want after a hike. There is also a local bus service which runs between Caernarfon and Beddgelert. Please check online for timetables and fares.

What customers say

A lovely, well-kept park with amazing views and super staff! Clean facilities, farm animals, playground, and a handy shop. Great for Snowdonia. Watch for occasional WiFi glitches and a tight entrance.

Liked Beautiful very clean and peaceful, first time here and definitely returning again.
The owners are so polite and very willing to help.
Showers couldn't fault, very clean and well maintained site, you can tell the owners put a lot of hard work to get the site up to a beautiful standard and put the visitors first, loved the donkeys and got to feed them too.

Disliked I should of took more carrots with me for the donkeys, as I can't fault the site itself

Powered grass campsite (large)

Liked Good campsite with a nice view

Disliked The access road is very bumpy and single track. Communication/response from the site is poor.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review and for your positive comments about our farm and campsite.

Regarding access, the campsite is reached by a single-track public road maintained by the local authority; it is not an unmade track. There are several passing places along the road, and we carefully manage arrival and departure times to minimise the possibility of caravans meeting one another. We also make it clear on the website that access is via a single-track road, allowing guests to take this into account before booking. Although we would welcome improvements to the road, as it is a public highway, this is unfortunately beyond our control.

We were surprised by your comments regarding communication. We aim to respond to all emails within 24 hours, and our records show that your conversations with a member of our team before your stay were positive. The site office was also open every day during your visit, and our team was available to help with any concerns.

We are sorry that the poor weather affected your stay and that you chose to leave early. However, as your pitch had been reserved for the full duration of your booking, we were unable to offer a partial refund.

Regards Len

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked The facilities were very, very clean. We were also greeted by a very friendly individual with red hair, who gave me a whistlestop tour of everywhere. The shop was super cute, and we loved that they had local makers' products to buy.

Disliked The biggest issue for us was the lack of lighting on the campsite. We were in field 3 and the only campers (fair enough as it is October!). But there wasn't a single light in that field or the next - the only thing that was lit was the red telephone box. Because of this we struggled to cook and get ready, we had hoped to get up early at 6 but as it was pitch black we didn't. It was not only impractical, but it left us feeling a little vulnerable. It was also quite expensive and it would be great to have a common room to shelter from the weather.

From the manager: Thanks for your review and the good things you had to say about our campsite.
Re the darkness issue, we are in an area that has dark night status, hence we try to minimise the light pollution. You may have also noticed there is very little light elsewhere in the valley.
Had you chosen a pitch in field 1 it would have had more light, but you wanted to be away from other campers. Maybe if you had a camping light or head torch it would have helped.
Regards Len

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite (large)

Liked This is a peaceful site with glorious views across the valley and mountains. The staff are friendly and welcoming.The facilities are well thought out but may come under pressure in the busy summer season. The donkeys add something different.

Disliked The approach lane is single track with stone walls and probably 2.6m at best. We towed a caravan and didn't meet anyone who could not use the only passing place.

Local attractions

The surrounding area has heaps to see and do alongside the rambles, coastlines and castles: if you get a bit stuck for choice, ask the family for their top picks. Within a short drive are Zip World in Bethesda (home to Velocity, the fastest zipline in the world and the longest in Europe), Zip World Caverns in Blaenau Ffestiniog and GreenWood Forest Park, a family adventure park in Y Felinheli. Rather conveniently, one of Wales's top attractions is less than five miles from Tyn Yr Onnen Farm, the National Slate Museum in Llanberis, where kids can get stuck into the story of the country's mining heritage amid talks and demos, quarrymen's houses and interactive play activities. Llanberis village is where many set out to climb Snowdon as the Llanberis Path begins here, winding up the least taxing route (we'll point out again that the Snowdon Mountain Railway goes to the top too). The village is also a popular place for adventurous activities like kayaking, coasteering, scuba diving, mountain biking, pony trekking and high ropes courses. Another popular pull of these parts is the Dinorwig Power Station or Electric Mountain: take an underground tour, set the kids free to play in the den, or test your wits in the Genius Corner puzzle room.
