Campsites & camping
Wake up under Tryfan, launch a paddleboard from your pitch, or watch the sun drop into the sea from the tent door. North Wales camping runs from basic climbers' fields to full-facility parks — these guides cover what's there, whether campfires are allowed, and exactly what's within reach of each site.
8 places covered.
Eryri (Snowdonia)
Anglesey (Ynys Môn)
Llŷn Peninsula
Dee Valley & the Berwyn
Pitching up in the wild
The settings are the reason to come: climbers' fields under Tryfan and in the Ogwen Valley; lakeside pitches by Llyn Gwynant and near Bala; and coastal parks on Anglesey and the Llŷn with a beach at the bottom of the site. Choose the setting first, then the facilities.
Two things worth knowing before you book. Campfires are the exception, not the rule — many sites ban them outright, so check rather than assume. And wild camping is not a legal right in Wales (unlike Scotland): pitch on a proper site or get the landowner's permission. Upland weather also means a sturdy tent and pegs that will actually hold in a blow.
