Wales Campervan Trip Pitches With Campsite Electric Hook-Up
Wales camper van trip site open nearly all year round
For your Wales camper van trip, our small Snowdonia camp site has 6 pitches with electric hook ups and hardstandings suitable for camper vans, smaller motorhomes and roof tents. A few of these pitches are suitable for caravans or trailer tents too.
As well as great views and direct access to the Mawddach Trail (down a steep track), there are hot showers (free), loos and sinks, pot wash, wifi, camp shop, fridge/freezer use.
We are open for your Wales camper van trip from 1st March – early January. Winter access is easy and comfortable as the van pitches are all hard standing and our wash block is heated.
For tent campers (and the odd roof tent) our spacious, nearly wild tent camping fields are open 1st May – 30th September.
The site is surrounded by the dramatic scenery of Eryri/Snowdonia National Park – watch the shadows race over the mountains and the ebb and flow of the Mawddach Estuary. Shelter is provided by oak, birch and rowan trees and hill sides covered in heather and moss. The two “panorama pitches” have the best views but there are benches overlooking the view for everyone to enjoy. There is also a communal camp fire area with fairy lights in a sheltered glade in the woods.
All availability is online to book via our web site – please note for on the day bookings you will need to call us.
Snowdonia camp site near Mawddach Trail
There is direct access down a steep track (unsuitable for people with mobility issues) through the meadows and woodland of the lower tent camping fields to the Mawddach Cycle Trail along the estuary. The wildlife here is wonderful – regularly seen (or heard) on site are owls, bats, buzzards, woodpeckers, jays, house martins, wagtails and even nightjars and peregrines. With rugged scenery and rocky outcrops around the site, it’s advisable to bring sturdy pegs for awnings (we usually have rock pegs for sale in reception)!
Pitch Types
You can choose from 2 panorama pitches, 1 standard motorhome/caravan pitch or 4 small camper van pitches to best accommodate different sizes of touring vans, caravans, roof tents or trailer tents. Early booking advised for the two panorama pitches with the best views! Pitch types are designed to create more breathing space between pitches at peak times. We are sorry but on this part of the site there is not space for tents, additional gazebos, event shelters etc. Tent campers should book onto our nearly wild Tent Camping Fields. We welcome Roof Tent campers to our camper van area and there are a few pitches suitable for roof tents on our wilder tent fields.

A bus stops outside the site linking to a local train station – ideal if you want to leave your vehicle on site. Read our green travel tips.
If you are looking for splendid isolation you can find it on our tent only camping fields as the touring van site is much smaller with pitches closer together. But if you are looking for a small, clean and quietly sociable site for your Wales camper van trip in a great location, then we hope you will enjoy Graig Wen.

Just returned from a week at Graig Wen and feel like we’ve been on a top spa break. So relaxed, so much walking (and eating) and such stunning scenery. Recommend the panorama pitches for campervans – extraordinary views. The campsite is beautiful and so well run/organised. Fresh coffee in the mornings and sour dough loaves that defy description. Fab facilities and touches, like freezers and ready meals to buy, dog bags on the campsite gates, an honesty ice cream set up and communal fire pit area in the woods. It is a schlepp up the track from the Mawddach Trail though there’s a handy bench overlooking the estuary right by the campsite gate!
