Back-to-basics camping with spectacular views

New

Back-to-basics camping with stunning Rhinog Mountain views in Gwynedd
Harlech Beach half an hour’s drive; Llanfair Slate Caverns 35 minutes
In Eyri National Park, with hiking and biking straight from the site

If you’re looking for a wild camping experience in gorgeous North Wales – and one with spectacular Rhinog Mountain views to boot – Rhiw Goch Inn Campsite is the spot for you. This peaceful site covers 18 acres of hilly land, and you can camp wherever you choose, either in the fields or near the beautiful and sadly derelict namesake pub that is central to the property. Site facilities are simple – please note there are no loos or showers, but running water and waste areas are available. However, who really cares about lack of amenities when the site is set amid the mountains and valleys of Eryri National Park, and there are plenty of things to see and do within half an hour’s drive? You have the option of two beaches, mountain biking and hiking trails and the subterranean family attraction King Arthur’s Labyrinth, among many other local activities. And you can holiday at Rhiw Goch Inn Campsite knowing you’re doing some good. The money raised from the pitches goes to a very worthy cause: it is being reinvested into the restoration of the once-handsome Grade II-listed Rhiw Goch Inn and its reopening as an inn and restaurant.
