About Nantcol Waterfalls
On a farm that swarms with abundant wildlife and stonewalled luscious land is this pretty camping and glamping getaway. Set by the Nantcol River where you can swim, and only a five minute hop from the amenities of Llanbedr. There are also glorious beaches within a ten minute drive! You can pop your tourer on hardstanding and get stuck into your holiday with electric, or pitch your tent with views of the river. Each of the 85 grass pitches allows up to ten guests each, some with the added bonus of an optional 16 amp electric hook up. The site also has a range of glamping options on offer, ideal for those seeking some extra luxury. There are a pair of enticing bell tents which sleep four and offer a furnished interior, with heating and electric. Enjoying riverside views, each comes with a double bed, two single sofa beds, lighting and a cool box provided, with shared facilities nearby. Ideal for two, there are also cosy glamping pods which come equipped with a double bedroom and bedding, plus an open plan living area with a Smart TV, WiFi and speakers for chilling out. In the kitchen you will find a combi microwave, electric hob and fridge/freezer. Underfloor heating will keep you warm, and there is also an ensuite with a walk-in shower and loo. For enjoying your stunning setting, there is also a private patio with a fire pit for toasting marshmallows. Surrounding string lights also keep the outdoors lit at night.

Take a ride on the rope and swing and paddle in the river, the water is clear and perfect for all the family to splash around in. And the prettiest of local walks will take you to Snowdonia's glistening waterfalls all around.
A quick drive will take you to beaches at Shell Island. There are three of them, great for fishing, shell collecting and just fun and games along the shore.
