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.

Lovely site, beautiful peaceful location
Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
We have just returned from a 4 day stay at Coed Y Llwyn site, whilst touring around Wales and the Cotswolds.
This was our first stop on our tour and we were not disappointed. The site itself is set in a very quiet & peaceful location, just through a very small village.
The site itself has several levels to it with plenty of variance of pitches, we decided to pitch on the lower part of the site to the left of the main office. However after having a walk around this well kept site I think we would have been happy in any part of it.
We booked a hard standing pitch, which was large and had plenty of space for our caravan, awning and car and also had some large grass area's around it which were great for our dogs (and us) to chill out on.
One of the things I always like about club sites is the fact that you know what you are going to get when it comes to the toilet blocks. I have to say this site did not disappoint, the facilities look brand new, are bright and airy and I liked the fact that the facilities had a pocket door half way down them so they could remain open when cleaning took place with only half of the toilets, showers and sinks closed at anyone time. As usual the facilities were absolutely immaculate and clean.
In term of the location, there is a lovely pub about 10 seconds walk from the site..... yep, literally out of the site and into the pub. (despite this, we had no noise from there).
I would highly recommend visiting for a drink and food (Bryn Arms).
For travelling we found it to be ideal for exploring with Porthmadog & Portmeirion close by (15 minutes drive).
In addition if you have dogs or just fancy a trip to the beach I can recommend Black Rock Sands, which is dog friendly and you can park your car on the beach (for a charge of £8).
Anglesey is about an hours drive from the site if you want to go a little further when exploring.
Overall a beautiful, peaceful, well kept, clean and tidy site that we will stay at again.
A fabulous site
Coed-Y-Llwyn Club Campsite
We have just stayed on this site for 4 nights and have had a brilliant time from start to finish. We did have some misgivings about the location prior to arrival but these were soon swept aside, and we thoroughly enjoyed the easy access to the Llwyn Peninsula and the Snowdonia National Park. The warden who greeted us on arrival was very welcoming and friendly and we were soon on a lovely level hardstanding pitch. We liked the way the site is divided into smaller areas as this made it feel more intimate. The new facilities block was lovely and the two separate areas for showers and toilets in each of male and female sides was a great improvement as the facilities remained open during cleaning and, if necessary, repairs. The smooth floor tiles and underfloor heating made showering a pleasure. From the site we visited the Osprey Nesting site, and Abersoch on the Llwyn peninsula and also took a lovely circular tour through Beddgelert to Betws- y-Coed and back. The local walks from the site were well marked and delightful too. There was a good size and easily accessible Tesco store in Porthmadog only 4 miles away. On our list for next time is the steam railway as it travels through such amazing countryside, and Porthmerion, in addition to more local walks. We will definitely return to this jewel of a site and enjoy more of what it and the local area has to offer.
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.
