Woodland camping in Gwynedd

·

In Gwynedd’s forests, you’ll find over two dozen camping spots where the trees are thick, trails wind under mossy branches, and birdsong starts your morning. Options start from as little as £7 a night, with the average hovering around £44. Campers here pick from sites with showers, toilets, and permission for campfires—essentials after a day hiking, swimming in cold streams, or spotting red kites overhead. Standouts include Henbant Permaculture Farm + Camp (172 reviews), where you can wake to mist over the fields; Graig Wen - Wild Snowdonia Escapes (53 reviews), with access to the Mawddach Estuary; and Torrent Walk Campsite and Bunkhouse (49 reviews), right by a rushing river. Pack sturdy boots and a torch—these woods get properly dark at night.

There is a compost toilet block and sink (cold water tap) in the centre of the wood shared by all visitors. The notice board in the car park provides visitors with maps, photos and information about the wood, and there are laminated maps showing the routes of around 30 local walks which visitors are welcome to borrow during their stay. Canoe, kayaks and paddle boards are available to hire in Coed Obry and there are several fire pits with seasoned firewood for sale. There is no mains water so visitors are requested to bring their own drinking water, but rain water harvesting systems provide water for washing. Nearby there are several outstanding beaches within 1-3 miles and there is good access to the mountains of Snowdonia; the Afon Dwyryd provides an excellent sheltered river/estuary for canoeing and paddle boarding; the slate quarries and tourist attractions of Blaenau Ffestiniog, rock climbing at Tremadog (2 miles); spectacular waterfalls at Croesor (1 mile); the Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway (0.5 miles); the Glaslyn Osprey Centre (1 mile); several shops, restaurants, hostelries and Spar shop in Penrhyndeudraeth (1 mile); three large supermarkets and a regional shopping centre in Porthmadog (2.5 miles).
