A note from the site themselves...

Ty'n Llan Camping is a small family run campsite and set in the natural beauty of the Cwm Pennant Valley, close to the bustling towns of Porthmadog and Criccieth. It was originally a hay field which was known to friends and family as "strictly private". However, having allowed scout groups to use the field each year, we decided that it was too pretty not to share!

We thrive on our personal touch and are always here to greet you when you arrive, service with a smile, as they say! We have many visitors return to us year after year after themselves having been one of those scouts in their early years and now returning with their families.
