Gwern Gôf Isaf is a long-established campsite in Betws-y-Coed, Conwy, offering tents and campervans alongside two private bunkhouse accommodations onsite both with full kitchens and heating, plus two self-catered holiday cottages. The campsite has continually thrived since its inception in 1906 by Jane Williams, and later served as base camp for Brigadier Sir Henry Cecil John Hunt whilst training for the successful British Expedition to Everest. Its landscape has also hosted Hollywood film crews, including King Arthur: Legend of the Sword and the HBO series House of the Dragon. Bookings are welcomed for individuals, families, and pre-approved outdoor groups up to 10 persons. Nearby you'll find Trefriw Woollen Mill, the Welsh Slate Museum, and Old Quarry Hospital.
