A note from the site themselves...

Pitch and Hike was seeded from my passion for the outdoors. I wanted to create a haven for people who just want to get away from it all and enjoy being outside. Having found this little gem of a place in Snowdonia/Eryri I wanted to share it with like-minded people - somewhere everyone can relax and have mutual respect for the tranquil surroundings.

Finally, from my own wild camping experiences I was determined to give my customers a flushing toilet and a hammock to relax in!!!

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024

Had a wonderful time. Location fairly remote, but that is exactly what I wanted. Clean toilets, helpful host. Rained second night, still slept like a log.

Excellent

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024

Excellent campsite, access was great and the short walk was easier than we thought, the campsite owners were lovely and welcoming. The toilets are probably some of the nicest and cleanest in North Wales. It's a great location for Snowdonia National Park and Betws-y-Coed isn't too far away either. An excellent find for us and we will definitely be going back again!

Amazing and hidden away

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Aug 2024

The site was great, contact was good and clear. Greeted with information about the site, very kind and friendly, toilets were amazing, drinking water offered. Perfect for clear and quiet nights, a firepit was rented and used within the generously sized pitch. Couldn't want for more at this site, we will be visiting again.
