About Torrent Walk Campsite and Bunkhouse
Set in the shadows of Cader Idris, this relaxed and laidback site is the ideal base for Snowdonia National Park. It's just one mile from the market town of Dolgellau (five minutes), plus easy access to many attractions and activities on its doorstep! Welcoming tents, caravans and motorhomes, the site has a range of grass and hardstanding pitches. Most pitches come with 10 amp electric as standard, and the rest have optional hook ups. There are also a handful of electric hardstanding pitches with 10 amp electric hook up and water hook up. The site is spread across three camping and touring fields, comprising of the main field which is a short walk from the central car park, the lake field (as the name suggests!) and the ledges field which is better suited to tents due to steep access, and slightly further from facilities than the other fields. Dogs are welcome.

Things to do on site and in the Dolgellau area
Set in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, there is no shortage of outdoor activities.
The site's name comes from the nearby four-mile "Torrent Walk". All you need to do is take a right from the gate along the track, and you will soon be at a bridge, where there will be a signpost for the walk. Although steep in some places, manageable for most skill levels, great to do with kids or an evening dog walk.
