Graig-Wen, Arthog, Near Dolgellau, Gwynedd, Wales

Graig Wen offers camping in an exceptionally beautiful part of Snowdonia National Park. We are proud that Graig Wen was chosen by the Cool Camping Wales guide as one of the top 5 places to camp in Wales.

Campers with motorhomes, caravans and smaller tents can pitch safely on our peaceful 15 pitch touring site, where there are sweeping views over the Mawddach Estuary and surrounding mountains and easy access to the washing facilities and showers.

In peak season tent campers can also pitch on our lower camping fields in sheltered glades, secret meadows or high on a bluff overlooking the estuary. We also have a pre-erected canvas bell tent for hire.

Since moving to Graig Wen in September 2007, Sarah and John have been working to improve the facilities and manage the conservation of 40 acres of Snowdonia National Park. But mostly we want to keep Graig Wen the way it is - wild and special. We are proud to have recently won a Green Snowdonia Award for the Most Sustainable Camp Site.

There are 8 hard standing pitches with electric hook ups suitable for smaller motorhomes, caravans and tents. There are also a few grass pitches for tent campers.

The site is surrounded by the dramatic scenery of Snowdonia National Park - watch the shadows race over the mountains and the ebb and flow of the Mawddach Estuary. Shelter is provided by oak, birch and rowan trees and hill sides covered in heather and moss.

There is direct access down a steepish track through meadows and woodland to the Mawddach cycle Trail along the estuary. The wildlife here is wonderful - regularly seen (or heard) on site are owls, buzzards, woodpeckers, wagtails and even nightjars.
