  • Small family-run park on a working farm, 15 mins' drive from Aberdyfi
  • Spectacular views of Cader Idris and Bird Rock
  • In the Snowdonia National Park four miles north of Tywyn
Gorgeous mountain views, loads of green space and a setting in Snowdonia National Park within 15 minutes’ drive of the sands of Aberdyfi and Fairbourne… welcome to Waenfach. This small and scenic park is on a family-run working farm, in an excellent setting for exploring the surrounding countryside and coast and well set up for peaceful days on site in between. The closest town is Tywyn, under 10 minutes’ drive south; Machynlleth is half an hour to the east, and the Snowdonia National Park Visitor Centre is 15 minutes’ drive away. Amenities include a modern shower block with solar heated water and disabled facilities, as well as a laundry room, recycling bins, Calor/gas sales and a freezer; guests also have access to free wifi, a book exchange and tourist information. Pitches are on level ground.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Really enjoyed our stay at this lovely little site. The views were spectacular. Facilities were well maintained and clean and the owners were really nice.

Disliked: Cold shower one day as was raining and they are solar. Owners did override this later in the morning so we could wash up with warm water though.
