Located in the glorious lush surroundings of Snowdonia National Park, Coed-y-Llwyn Club Campsite is a sight to behold for those visiting for the first time. The campsite has been developed with families in mind making the park an all-round place of activity or relaxation. Whatever mood you happen to be in!

The Coed-y-Llwyn Club Campsite is particularly geared up for outdoor lovers, who can venture up Snowdon, enjoy the range of water sports at Lake Bala, find safe sandy beaches on the Lleyn Peninsula, play golf at Porthmadog, and cycle in the mountain bike centre at Coed-y-Brenin. Cycling can also be enjoyed at Blaenau Ffestiniog, with traffic free routes nearby or on the beautiful Mawddach Trail from Barmouth to Dolgellau. Zip World, home to the largest and longest zip lines in Europe is only a short drive away, there are two locations you can enjoy, Blaenau Ffestiniog and Bethesda.

As the campsite is situated in Gellilydan, Blaenau Ffestiniog (narrow gauge) visitors must take a ride on its railway, an essential journey for all rail enthusiasts. Even more so is a visit to Portmeirion - location for the cult 60s TV series 'The Prisoner' - designed to show that even the most beautiful site could be developed without spoiling it. There are 5 steam railways within an hour's travel from the site with The Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland being the most popular. There is also the Snowdon Mountain Railway, one of the biggest attractions in Snowdonia. You can also visit historical castles such as Harlech and Caernarfon.

There are three beautiful landscape gardens within 10 miles of the site. Portmeiron is the most famous and has stunning views over Dwyryd estuary. The lesser known is Plas Tan Y Bwlch, 13 acres of Victorian woodland trails. There is also Plas Brondanw with its stunning view of Snowdon and Cnicht.

The newest attraction in Snowdonia is "Surf Snowdonia" (approximately 50 minute drive/27 miles from the Site). It is the world's first inland surfing lagoon, with continuous rolling waves. It caters for beginners as well as experienced surfers and has free entry and parking for spectators.

excellent stay once again

Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
One of our favourite sites, and this was our first stay since the site redevelopment. The new facilities are excellent. It would be great if this site were able to open all year and we would be regular visitors. We often use it as a base for running events - such as the half marathon at Coed-Y-Brenin that took place 7 Oct. Special thanks to the friendly wardens as it turned out my 25m EHU cable wasn't quite 25m as advertised and they were able to loan me a spare to get me by. We'll be back.

A real gem of a site.

Super site with extremely friendly wardens and fabulous shower block. Super quiet but with great walks and easy access to local attractions. Everything is clean and well maintained. Shame this isn't an all year site. Thanks for a lovely peaceful stay.

Disappointing site even though recent refurb

Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
Planned our visit as we wanted to visit the surrounding area and had noticed that it had been refurbished with service pitches added. Having never visited the site before we did not know what to expect regarding the pitches but unfortunately we were disappointed. The site manager advised us that the normal pitching did not apply on certain pitches as the water tap and emptying point were in such a position that waste water was expected to flow uphill. Upon setting up as instructed with the caravan all the way over to the edge of the pitch the slope was such that it proved difficult to level without using a huge amount of blocks and making the step into the caravan extremely awkward. Why were the pitches not levelled out when they did the work to make them service pitches? If you plan on going to this site and have any mobility issues such as dodgy knees be very careful where you decide to pitch! Otherwise the toilet block was very good and it was quiet & peaceful, probably as it was the middle of September. The dog walk was okay, if limited but did get muddy once it rained. So, if we decided to visit again we won’t waste our money on a service pitc.
