Power optional cement/asphalt and grass campervan campsite

Liked: Loved the location. Facilities were immaculate. Check in was easy. Communication was excellent. Option to have croissants, pastries and coffee in the morning was an added bonus.

Disliked: The rain! Also we stopped in a campervan area which was close to the road. Not that noisy but we were aware of it. I know there isn’t many other options because of how the site is.

Route directions

For larger caravans and motorhomes, don't follow a sat nav, but follow these instructions instead. Approach from Dolgellau, turning off the A470 Dolgellau bypass at the junction signposted Tywyn/Fairbourne onto the A493. It is exactly 4.5 miles from the junction, on the brow of a slight hill on the right-hand side. Keep your eyes open for the sign, as the left turn from the Fairbourne direction can be difficult. By bike or foot: There is direct access to the site from Mawddach Trail. Use the signposted stile from the Trail about a mile east of Morfa Mawddach station, just after the large, concrete tank traps, or about tthree miles west of the George III pub. Walk about 600 metres up hill through a field, past a house then across another field and up a steep track through woods. Reception is at the furthest double glass doors on the side of the building nearest the road. By train: Morfa Mawddach station is 1 mile away with direct access along the Mawddach Trail. The Graig Wen team can arrange pick-up (including mountain bikes) or drop off at the station: please give them a call a couple of days before arrival using the contact details provided in your booking confirmation. By bus: Buses run between Aberystwyth/Machynlleth and Dolgellau (no. 28): ask the driver to drop you at Graig Wen between Penmaenpool and Arthog.

Local attractions

There’s sno lack of things to do in Snowdonia National Park as well as walking, cycling and mountain biking: scale the summit at Snowdon to the visitor centre for ideas (or take the steam train if you’re out of puff). Wildlife watching is all around too: have a squint at the RSPB reserve between Arthog and Friog, or take a trip into Coed-y-Brenin after mountain biking to get a glimpse of otters, deer, badgers and foxes. Beach horse riding is available within minutes of Graig Wen, and fishing and watersports at the beaches of Barmouth and Fairbourne: Barmouth Harbour is a popular spot to hire a boat for sea fishing trips, while Fairbourne is famed for its windsurfing and surfing. Start off at Fairbourne, as its Fairbourne Steam Railway puffs gently along from here to Penrhyn Point, where the passenger ferry leaves for Barmouth. Harlech, Portmeiron and the Centre for Alternative Technology at Machynlleth are all about 45 minutes’ drive away.
