  • Back-to-basics site on the edge of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia)
  • On a working farm half an hour's drive from Zip World Penrhyn Quarry
  • Direct access to the Llanberis Path and Snowdown Ranger Path
Looking for a simple site that can be used as a base camp for summiting Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)? Consider Camping in Llanberis, a working farm site on the north-western fringes of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). It has direct access to the Llanberis Path and the Snowdon Ranger Path, two routes (of varying difficulties) that lead to the summit of the tallest mountain in Wales. Suited to the outdoorsy type who doesn’t expect any luxury facilities, this is a back-to-basics spot with sheep nearby and some amenities including a toilet block with coin-operated hot showers, a washing-up corner, a fridge, freezer and microwave, and phone-charging plugs. According to demand and the season, there's also sometimes a food van selling breakfast baps in the morning and burgers and loaded fries in the evening (all to be pre-ordered at the reception), plus craft beers. The on-site team is happy to hand over some friendly local knowledge and advice. There’s no need to book or find the car parks for Yr Wyddfa here; in addition, the Pen y Pass paths are also easily accessible by car or a Sherpa bus. Camping in Llanberis is just a 10-minute stroll from Llanberis, where there are shops, restaurants, cafés and attractions like the Llanberis Lake Railway. It’s a 25-minute walk to the Snowdon Mountain Railway station for those who don’t want to make the climb to the summit. It’s also a great base camp for those attending running events like Ultra-Trail Snowdonia and the Snowdon Marathon. The Snowdonia Slate Trail, a long-distance path stretching for 83 miles, is a 15-minute drive away.

What customers say

Spectacular mountain views & wild camping vibe with basic amenities. Close to Snowdon & Llanberis, clean restrooms, handy snack van. Some noted sloped sites & noise, but staff & scenery are huge pluses. Management is improving things.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Love the feel of this place. Kind of like wild camping vibe but not!

Clean toilets and showers.

Snack van on site - food delicious

Disliked Most people are respectful however you get the odd group that get drunk and are loud late at night when there are kids also staying and trying to sleep.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great views, open space, good price and so close to Ranger path to Snowdon and close to pubs on Llanberis.

Disliked Not many flatish areas for campervans, but we managed to get a reasonably flat space. Mind you, the campsite is on a hill so they have not much option for flat spaces

Local attractions

If you want to balance your outdoorsy pursuit with a bit of history, head to Caernarfon (20 minutes’ drive), where a fortress built by Edward I in the late 13th century sits where the river Seiont flows into the Menai Strait. Across the Seiont is a large green area with a skatepark and a waterfront path. Lined with independent kiosks, Garth Pier in Bangor (half an hour) stretches halfway across the Menai Strait, making the island of Anglesey seem so close you could almost touch it. There are more views of Anglesey from the Roman Camp, an area of woodland and lawns at the top of a hill overlooking the city. Those who want more thrills besides summiting Yr Wyddfa should visit Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (half an hour), where they can take a vertiginous flight across the lake of a disused quarry on what is said to be the world’s fastest zipwire. If you’re brave enough to keep your eyes open, you might catch a glimpse of the Welsh coastline while you’re in mid-air.
