Llechrwd riverside campsite, situated within the Snowdonia National Park, is a small family run scenic site on the river Dwyryd in the beautiful Vale of Ffestiniog.
On the upper field there are 8 pitches with electric hook-ups for caravans, with another 12 pitches with hook-ups for camper vans, trailer tents and tents, on the lower field there is a spacious area for tents alongside the river Dwryrd.
Electric hookup pitches are available on the upper field only (so it is NOT possible to be by the river and have electric), these pitches can take tents, caravans , motorhomes, & trailers up to 22ft, any vehicle longer than this will not get in our entrance or fit on the pitches.
The site is reasonably level.
There is a riverside & wild flower meadow walk on site. Nearby are woodland walks, including Rhaedr Cynfal (the Cynfal waterfall) and mountain walks in the Moelwyns. The sound of Ffestiniog Railway trains can be heard coming from the hillside high above the site. The R.S.P.B Glaslyn Osprey viewing site is a 15 min. drive away and the Llechwedd carverns site for choughs is also about 15 min. drive away in the other direction.
