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.

Torrent Walk Campsite and Bunkhouse is open all year round in 2024 and 2025.

If cycling is your thing, Coed Y Brenin Mountain Biking Centre (15 minutes) has world-class trails, a visitor center, a cafe and walking paths too! Dyfi Bike Park is also nearby.

Other attractions include:

  • Mawddach Trail (5 minutes)
  • Mach Loop (5 minutes)

  • Corris Craft Centre (15 minutes)
