Cefn Coed is a working farm estate turned nearly-wild campsite at Penmaenpool, near Dolgellau, set within Eryri National Park where ancient woodland, open meadow and the Mawddach Estuary meet beneath Cadair Idris. Choose from secluded woodland pitches, open meadow pitches with mountain views, campervan spots, a bunkhouse or off-grid wild lodgings. On site you'll find a seasonal bar and kitchen, a shop, communal showers and toilets, firepit and bike hire, and gentle encounters with rare-breed animals, alongside seasonal rewilding and nature-based workshops. Nearby you can explore the Mawddach Estuary and Trail, with Barmouth beach a few miles away and several museums and galleries within easy reach, plus a train station not far from the farm.
