Llyn Gwynant Campsite sits on the shores of its namesake lake at the heart of Eryri National Park near Caernarfon, Wales, making it an ideal base camp for walking up Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon directly from the site. Pitch your tent on natural grassy fields, or bring a small van to bays near the hedgerows. On site you'll find the Cegin for pizzas and evening meals with a licensed bar, a shop selling groceries and camping essentials, and Y Bragdy, the on-site brewery and tap room. You can also hire kayaks, canoes and paddle boards from the riverside boat hire area. The site runs on off-grid solar power and borehole water for a low environmental footprint. Nearby attractions include Llechwedd Slate Caverns, ZipWorld Llechwedd and the Welsh Slate Museum.
