About Hafod y Llan Campsite

Hafod y Llan is a basic, family-friendly campsite with a wide-range of facilities including hot showers, toilet blocks, campfires, a tumble dryer and a small car park.

The National Trust acquired Hafod y Llan in 1998 through public donations. This diverse landscape is a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI), and covers an area of 4000 acres including a National Nature Reverse and a working farm, which is sensitively grazed.

Hafod y Llan is the ideal place to explore this stunning corner of north Wales. Situated next to the Cwm Llan river at the base of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Wales' tallest mountain, and close to the Watkin Path which can be directly accessed from the campsite. The pretty village of Beddgelert is a leisurely three mile stroll away and has shop, post office and pub. 

With countless waterfalls, wooded valleys and quaint towns and villages, the area around the campsite is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle.
