  • Small family-run glampsite at a Llanfairfechan farm
  • On the edge of Eryri National Park, 10 minutes' drive from Conwy
  • Beach, pubs, shops and train station within a short walk
With the north Wales coast on one side and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park on the other, plus the A55 close by for easy access to all of it, it’s fair to say that Platt’s Farm Camping is in an excellent position for a break that’s packed with variety. How you organise your time is up to you, but there are many, many options around here, including hikes and other outdoor activities, heritage railway rides, beach days and castle visits. Bike rides long and short can be on the menu too, as National Cycle Route 5 passes close by. With all that on the schedule, you’ll need somewhere comfy to relax between outings – and this could well be that place. This small family-run site has just a couple of glamping units in the grounds of a Grade II listed Victorian farm on the edge of Llanfairfechan. A pebble/sandy beach is 10 minutes’ walk away, and there are plenty of other handy things within a short walk, including pubs, takeaways, a butcher and a couple of mini supermarkets. A bus stop and railway station are close by too for travels by public transport. Back at base, the glamping units are in their own dedicated field, where each has access to its own dedicated washroom facility. Cooking facilities and tables are in a large open barn where you can enjoy alfresco meals even on less clement days. Fire baskets can be hired from reception for warming your hands in the evening (with logs for sale too). Sound like something your dog might enjoy too? They’ll be pleased to hear dogs are welcome, and have an enclosed field where they can run about.

Lovely, tranquil glamping with spotless geodomes/bell tents. Glampers loved their private facilities, firepits & cooking gear. Close to cafe & beach, with loads of space for kids. Friendly, helpful staff. Many want to come back.

Dahlia geodesic dome

Liked Set in it's own walled garden shared with the other glamping tent. The dahlia dome was huge! Lots of space inside, really thoughtfully kitted out, and a super comfy bed. The big barn just a few steps away has a great 'camping kitchen' with gas hobs, and even a fridge!! Thoughtful touches from the owners without me asking for them, they provided logs for the firepit.
The shower block just a few more steps away with your own dedicated bathroom was very clean and well thought out. And piping hot water for both the shower and nearby washing up sink area.
This is such a peaceful place to stay amongst the trees. The nearby pretty village is a short walk away, with a few cafes and friendly butchers. I loved the seafront. When the tide is out it's a great stretch for dogs. The village is really peaceful, but has everything you need. And the site is in an excellent location for the A5 to get to everywhere.
Overall this site feels well cared for, where the owners genuinely want you to have an enjoyable stay.

Butterfly bell tent

Liked Perfect. Everything was as it said. We did bring camping chairs, blankets and a bbq but we did not need anything, chairs we there for our own use. And there was a bbq to share with the pitch next door if we wanted it. You just need to bring towels as the property says. The blankets we brought due to knowing it was going to get stormy but the heater in the bell tent was ample for the 3 of us in there with the dogs and the owners did leave a blanket for each bed. Lovely and quiet, we were left alone after check in but the owners were around if we needed them. Firewood brought to us in the evenings. Dog field was perfect for off lead run about even though the dogs had ample exercise when out and about with us. Great location Co-op around the corner which is a literal 5 min walk. 15 minutes to the beach (which is stoney but further along there is sand) with a pavilion cafe and small park for the kids, you have to pay for parking there if you drive. Good base for travelling to other spots for the day and other users were respectful of everyone on site keeping noise to a minimum and also tidying up after themselves. Having your own bathroom is a bonus too, shower was hot and everything was clean. Loved the fact the camp recycles and the washing up liquid was eco friendly. No wifi, and signal is not good at all, but this wasn't a concern for us. It was time to switch off and we could get wifi when out and about.

Butterfly bell tent

Liked The grounds were quiet and peaceful, there was so much open space for the children to play. The bell tent was spacious, clean and nicely presented. The cooking and bathroom facilties were brilliant and very clean. All utensils were available. Sam came to check on us straight away and was very helpful.

Disliked Nothing, an enjoyable time was had all round!

Butterfly bell tent

Liked Had the best weekend at the campsite! On a hiking trip with 7 mates to climb Elidir Fawr circular which was a 20 minute drive away.

We had the geodome and bell tent glamping and had the field to ourselves with the other tent plots in a seperate field which was nice and seating area with firepits for the evening and cooking equipment for breakfast, everything was spot on! Sam was a great host will be coming back in the future and would recommend especially the glamping :) 10/10

Disliked Nothing :)

Local attractions

This site is just on the edge of Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, a well-known outdoor activity hotspot. There’s something for everyone around here, from gentle strolls around villages like Llanberis (25 minutes’ drive) and Betws-y-Coed (35 minutes) to the huge endeavour of the Welsh 3000s trek (an undertaking not for the faint-hearted as it involves summiting 15 major peaks in one hike…) Alternative outings might take you to scream along the ziplines at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (20 minutes) or try all the outdoor activities (including a barefoot trail, a rollercoaster and mini diggers) at GreenWood Family Park (15 minutes). And if all that sounds a bit much, how about a gin tour at Aber Falls Distillery (five minutes) or a scenic ride on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway (55 minutes) instead? Soak up some of the area’s history while you’re here too, with trips to the castles in Conwy (10 minutes) and Caernarfon (25 minutes), or hop over the Menai Bridge to Anglesey (15 minutes).
