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.

Serviced pitches very sloping DESPITE assurances otherwise!
Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
We booked a service pitch for 3 nights and - concerned our auto-level system and 8m twin axle would struggle with sloping pitches after reading another review - we rang the warden who reassured us the problem was now ‘all sorted’ and we would have no issue.
On arrival the wardens assured me again we’d have ‘absolutely no issue here’ when levelling.
We drove to our pitch to see immediately that the pitch WAS sloping (side to side AND front to back). As feared our system could not cope with the side-to-side slope and we had to borrow blocks from the warden to put under the rams; the wheels on one side ended up ‘floating’ about 3 inches off the ground!
EVERY unit on the service pitches was having to use extra levelling systems - it was not only our pitch - so so why were we told TWICE we’d have no issue?
Not impressed with the service at the Bryn Arms on Saturday evening; we waited over an hour for food and when it came, one meal was incorrect. The waitress removed this wrong meal leaving my husband with his. We had the choice - eat separately, or one of us got a cold meal. We opted for the former. The waitress said she’d ‘see what she could do’ regarding the bill - this proved to be absolutely nothing at all, we were charged full price and got an excuse that they were ‘busier than expected’ - but only 2/3 of tables were being used, and it WAS a Bank Holiday weekend!
Other than this - facilities on site were clean, and we very much appreciated the ‘half and half’ method for cleaning the blocks, enabling loos to be available 24 hours a day. Also liked the addition of a dog/bike wash. Wardens were friendly (if inaccurate in their advice). Loads to do from the site but better signage would help re congestion on arrival (such as book in BEFORE using facilities!) and those using service pitches should be advised to bring levelling blocks.
Do NOT try to drive to the walk to Tomen Y Mur (the Roman fort about 1.4 miles from site) as the carpark closed 6 years ago and there is nowhere to easily turn around!
Quiet site, excellent facilities, very welcoming
Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
A quiet site surrounded by woodland & stream with Mountain Views. A dog walk and park keeps the family entertained. Toilet block is new, well thought out and very clean. The staff are very welcoming and made a fuss of the children giving them a trail to follow and a quiz. The Bryn Arms next door has a great beer garden with play area and decent food. Will definitely recommend and will visit again as it is so close to Zip World and the mountain bike park.
Lovely site with staff to be proud of
Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
A really nice site despite the weather. Nice level pitch and the heavy rain ran off well. Staff were so welcoming when we arrived after a stressful journey (cracked windscreen due to a stone from a lorry). The facilities are new and spotless with great hot showers and just a really nice place to be. Some nice views from the site too.
Follow the directions and avoid the route through the hills as it is tight in places for towing. Take care on arrival not to turn left into the street with the same name as the site or to turn right into the large pub car park but continue on till the site entrance on the left after the pub (just by the National speed limit sign).
For us the journey was a little too far to return but if this was closer to us we would be back regularly as it’s a nice place with the best wardens and staff.
Great location, very friendly wardens
Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
Lots of walks from the site itself down quiet lanes. Recommend a hike up Cwmorthin near Blaenau Ffestiniog and also the walk from the site to the waterfall Rhaeadr Du.
Site facilities were excellent - very modern and kept immaculately clean. My only gripe was the dog/bike wash was just a hose with very little power. Took washing of three dogs a very long time! Doubt it would have washed a bike very well either. Could you maybe add a spray attachment to the end of the hose?
Wardens were very friendly and always happy to help.
The pub across the road, the Bryn Arms, does very nice food.
I stayed in the Farm View section during Storm Kathleen and whilst the views of the sheep and lambs was lovely, this spot is very exposed to the wind! Just a heads up if you don’t like to be blown around a lot
Will definitely be returning as a great base for all Snowdonia based activities
Absolutely amazing site
Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
Despite bad weather this was an absolutely brilliant weekend.
This was my first time at a CAMC site and it definitely didn't disappoint me.
From check in to check out every interaction with staff was excellent. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful.
The facilities are in a newly refurbished block...and it is perfect. Hot clean showers..plenty of toilets. Heated floors!!
Dishwashing room was clean and well maintained...with washer and dryer in the same room.
Also large clean accessible facilities
I'd definitely recommend this site and will be returning soon
Thanks all
