Lake Vyrnwy Campsite

Likte We stayed at Lake Vyrnwy Campsite from 22–25 August and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The setting is absolutely breathtaking – surrounded by nature, with plenty of space to relax and soak in the beauty of the lake and hills. The facilities were spotless, well maintained, and everything felt so thoughtfully looked after.

What really made our stay stand out, though, was the warmth of the people. The campsite has such a welcoming feel, and we were genuinely impressed by how peaceful and friendly the atmosphere was. A special mention has to go to the local store nearby – the owners are absolutely lovely, so kind and helpful, and made us feel right at home.

We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already planning our return. If you’re thinking about camping in the area, we couldn’t recommend Lake Vyrnwy Campsite highly enough – it’s a little gem.

Likte Very nice setting, and the friendly host came to say hello on arrival. I loved that it was a limited number of defined pitches with fire pits. Quite back-to-basics, but I like it that way! Was peaceful at night.

Likte Great campsite with good facilities, extremely clean toilets and showers, the toilets did not smell and the owners were there every day ensuring the place was in good condition and the campers had everything they needed. They sell firewood for just £6 which lasted us 2 nights.

Very close to the lake and had a little shop with everything you might want within a 5 minute walk. There are also normal public toilets there if you don't want to use the campsite toilets for whatever reason. The campsite backs onto a river which you can walk in if its shallow.

No lighting near the campsite so you get a really nice dark sky and can see all the stars.

There is a road nearby but it is completely silent at night and quiet during the day anyway so its not a problem.

Very few pitches. There were just 6 tent pitches and a few caravan pitches so the site didn't feel overcrowded.

Likte ikke The showers were good, but occasionally the water would come out searing hot or ice cold. I don't know why this was and it only happened twice for a few seconds.

Our pitch (number 6) was on a very slight (almost unnoticeble unless you are laying down looking for it) incline going down towards the river and we didn't notice so had rough sleep the first night so just make sure you orient your sleeping setup that way.

Midges! We didn't have bug spray but the smoke from our fire sort of helped. Not an issue with the campsite at all and can't be helped, just remember they exist in North Wales and bring bug spray/a midge net.

These are just little problems we had, and the fact I'm mentioning them really shows how perfect the site is as 2 of them aren't anything to do with how the site is run but rather nature being nature.

Likte The campsite was excellent: friendly hosts, good-sized pitches, large fire pit, beautiful surroundings, and a short walk to a lovely village shop. It was idyllic and I'll definitely return!

Likte ikke It would have been good to have a separate sink area so people don't need to brush their teeth in the same sink as they wash dishes.

Likte Very quiet and didn't feel crowded, very simple site but I loved it. No problems at all. Also very close to Lake Vrynwy so can go on some nice walks. There is a little shop just at the top of the road if needed to top up on food or essentials.

Likte Lovely friendly owners and a beautiful location. No wifi but phone signal was good. Plenty of space between pitches and a wonderful back to nature vibe.
