Llyn Gwynant is the nature lovers' campsite in the very heart of Snowdonia. The campsite lies below Snowdon in the most beautiful valley in Wales. It is an ideal base for walking, swimming and other adventure activities. You can walk up Snowdon directly from the site. Alternatively you can simply enjoy natural beauty and quiet beside the lake or river, relaxing by your own camp fire. No radios are allowed, recycling is required and respect for the land and for others is essential. Bookings are not needed for families or individuals, only for groups of 20 or more.As well as camping we have large stone barns available for functions such as weddings or for large camping groups.
