  • Family-run park between the mountains and the sea
  • In Snowdonia National Park, five miles from Harlech
  • Pitches over 12 acres, with 28 acres of woodland and fields to wander
Bored with being boxed in on a campsite? Space, space and more space is the order of the day at Snowdonia's Barcdy Touring Caravan and Camping Park: it's in a secluded and sheltered vale where you'll have 12 acres' worth of camping area to pitch up in, and then another 28 acres of oak woodland and open fields to wander around and spot the wildlife. Barcdy is a select (and very friendly) family-run park where the owners have seen generations of small and excited campers go free range among these natural surroundings (there's a play area and wifi on site too, but it's likely the sprogs will prefer to roam). The grounds are a wildlife haven where nature spotters of all sizes can see badgers, owls and migratory birds, and loads more walks can be had in the hills leading off from the site. There's a good collection of pitches among the 12 acres and amenities are kept in tiptop condition with access to plenty of showers and loos, dishwashing sinks and a launderette. Shaver points and hairdryers are available too. Barcdy doesn't have a shop as it prefers to support local businesses: the nearest places for supplies are Harlech four miles away with food shops and newsagent, and Porthmadog five miles away with supermarkets and several smaller shops.

What customers say

A grand spot, the craic's good and it's spotless. Spacious pitches, great facilities, lovely views, and perfect for the family with a grand playground. Handy for Portmeirion. Wi-Fi's a bit dodgy, but you'll want to come back.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The general layout and cleanliness of the camp was great

Disliked The pitch we had was a considerable distance from the power outlet and even with a 10m adapter it only just reached our tent meaning it spent the whole week on the floor. Also the wifi isn’t the greatest and office doesn’t open until 9:30 so if you need anything before you leave early in the morning for your day out you out of luck. Could do with more tables as only about 1 in 3 pitches

Eddie W.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really clean site, toilets and showers are the cleanest I've camped at in the last 10 years. The football net is the reason I booked this site, so my lad had a opportunity to play and make friends. Decent field for tents, and the owners make sure there is no noise after the curfew.

Disliked The toilets smelt fresher than my own house.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Great location, not too many tents, clean toilets and showers, site really well kept and pretty, pub 1 mile away is decent and does good food. Not too far a drive to Harlech and the beach which are both lovely. Similarly for Porthmadog. Some good hill walks at the back of the campsite. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Local attractions

Coastline, castles, caverns, museums, steam railways, sailing, horse riding and hiking are all nearby, as is fishing at the two Tecwyn lakes within walking distance and sea fishing for mackerel and bass from Llandanwg Beach. For wanderers, the local walks accessible straight from site can take you roaming around Welsh woodlands with wondrous views of the Llŷn Peninsula in one direction and Snowdon in the other. If you're spending the day at Llandanwg, have a walk too across the causeway at low tide to Shell Island, where over two hundred different types of shell including oyster, whelk and cockle are washed up each winter; go from January to June for the best bags. Delve into days at Harlech, Porthmadog and Barmouth too, all popular pulls on the north Wales coastal trail. Harlech has a beaut beach backed by sand dunes, the famed Royal St David's Golf Club and the even more famed Harlech Castle, scene of the longest siege in Welsh history during the Wars of the Roses. (Wales is of course castle country, so get to Cricieth, Caernarfon and Conwy as well.) At Porthmadog, it'll quickly become apparent that these parts are also steam railway country: the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway and the Ffestiniog Railway, the oldest narrow-gauge railway journey in the world, both start in Porthmadog and the Welsh Highland Railway finishes here. Barmouth, the seaside town with another beaut beach, adjoining estuary and the Mawddach Trail, is about 13 miles to the south. Also within easy reach, you should count on a day out at decidedly individual Italianate village Portmeirion, the National Slate Museum at Llanberis or Llechwedd Slate Caverns, three more popular north Welsh pulls (take another puffy trip on the Snowdon Mountain Railway from Llanberis up to Snowdon's summit). You could also up the ante with activity day out at Glasfryn Parc and Greenwood Forest Park, visit King Arthur’s Labyrinth (underground boat trips!) or the Centre for Alternative Technology, both near Machynlleth.
