Hafod Y Llan Campsite

As seen in our new Holidays film - Hafod y Llan Campsite is a basic, riverside campsite on a working farm, perfectly placed for a walking holiday tackling Yr Wydffa (Snowdon) or exploring the lower lakeland landscape with its rivers and trails. It's surrounded by opportunities for adventure, and near Beddgelert village with a pub, shop and places to grab an ice cream or a meal. 

The campsite is at Hafod y Llan, a large and historically-important hill farm managed by the National Trust, 4,000 acres sensitively grazed and with an area designated as a National Nature Reserve. Its steep, dramatic slopes are dotted with remnants of Victorian slate quarries and copper mines, reminders of Cwm Llan’s industrial past. From just above the campsite, you can reach the Watkin Path which leads to Yr Wyddfa's (Snowdon's) summit. It's an 8-mile loop there and back. Of course, you could drive the 30 minutes round to the other side of the mountain to take the Snowdon Mountain Railway to the top. 

There are local trails for all levels of walking, taking in wooded valleys, waterfalls and mountain scenery. The area is steeped in story and myth, and you could walk to the 13th-century grave of Gelert, the faithful dog of Prince Llywelyn, or up Dinas Emrys, the hill where Merlin trod, famous for the legendary battle between the red and white dragons.

Check-in is from 12noon, with departures by 12noon. Please book online and don't travel to the campsite without a booking as we are likely to be full. To help preserve the site's tranquillity, the maximum number of adults in any booking is six and this applies whether you book together or separately. One car parking space per camping pitch only.
