  • Peaceful north Wales pitches in lush fields by the Conwy river
  • On the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park; Conwy 10 mins' drive
  • Mountain views by day and great stargazing by night
It’s all classic north Wales scenery around Conwy Valley Barn – this spacious site is made up of lush green fields next to a river and gorgeous mountain views as a backdrop. Take a pitch at this site 10 minutes' drive from Conwy and you'll be guests of the Bryan family, who have farmed here for three generations. Your neighbours on the farm are the Welsh Black cattle and mountain sheep that graze in the long meadows, which run down to the salt marshes on the banks of the Conwy river. It's a peaceful rural location indeed, with plenty of space to relax and soak up the fresh air and views. And it's also excellently located for all sorts of north Wales days out, including the castles of Conwy and Caernarfon, the seaside at Llandudno and the thrills of the various Zip World parks. And of course there are heaps of outdoor activities all around – you’ll be right on the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park for walks and mountain climbing, about half an hour's drive from the watersports of Anglesey and close to various bike rides including the Coed y Brenin mountain bike trails. You'll be able to get out on lots of great long walks nearby… or just take a short stroll to the nearest pub, a quarter of a mile away. This is a fairly simple site, but with all the essentials in place – there’s a fresh water tank, a waste water disposal unit and a toilet and shower trailer, with a large double sink outside. Keeping the facilities low-key means the site is nice and dark by night – fantastic for stargazing on a clear evening. The policy here is 'take a bag; take it home', so although there is a recycling point on site, all food and general waste can (and must) be easily taken away with you using the bin bags provided.

What customers say

A lovely spot with great views and a friendly owner. Peaceful, good value, though facilities are a bit dated & washing-up lacks hot water. Near Conwy, wildlife aplenty. Road noise and waste disposal are minor drawbacks.

Richard P.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked My son and I had a lovely 3-night stay here. It is exactly as they describe the site, with minimal facilities that provide a simple camping experience in a beautiful part of North Wales. When we arrived, there were a good number of others using the site, but they all left the next day, and we had the site to ourselves, with just a couple of other users across the remaining two nights of our stay. The shower and toilet facilities are clean and functional, with nothing particularly outstanding about them, but this is a minimal camping site. We found this to be an excellent base for exploring the Welsh North West Coast and the Snowdonia mountain range.

Disliked I recommend using hardstanding tent pegs, as the ground under the initial couple of inches is likely to contain a significant amount of slate or other rock. We used 9-inch standard tent pegs and bent a number of them. It can be tricky getting out onto the main road, as the entrance is on a corner, and visibility in both directions on a 60mph road is limited. It's not a very busy road, but it felt a little hairy at times.
