Bwlchgwyn Farm and Pony Trekking is an unspoiled campsite on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, overlooking the Mawddach Estuary and Welsh coastline. This peaceful farm and equestrian centre offers a range of pitches for campers and tourers and also includes a pair of cosy glamping pods too! With easy reach to the stunning beaches and right on the Mawddach Trail, it's a great base. There's even a footpath leading to the stunning Blue Lake.

VW-Type Campervan - XXL Grass Pitch with Optional Electric (Bryn 2)Jun 2024

We really enjoyed our stay, facilities were great & the view from the large pitches was beautiful. As a family of 3 the location was okay for us as we had planned to ride over to Barmouth which only took 25 mins. Families with smaller children may find the location a little too far away from local attractions.

Very peaceful location, stunning views, short drive to the beach 5 stars

A great campsite with a fantastic view of Barmouth and the estuary. Every pitch is terraced and well looked after. The showers were hot and toilets were clean. I would stay here again.

Bwlchgwyn Farm seems to cater for a wide range of holidaymakers, from family groups to socially minded people who like to gather and chat. I am a solitary sort and requested a 'tranquil' pitch. My stay was wonderful. I had a secluded grass pitch, handy for ablutions etc and had two days of complete peace and quiet. The showers were clean and well maintained, and there was a welcome rule about excessive noise after 10.30. Gemma was a wonderful host and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Outstanding panoramic views from any point, very good facilities and friendly and helpful owners - we were given the best pitch. A short drive to Fairbourne and beautiful resort of Barmouth. And we were lucky with the weather!

Motorhome - Large Hardstanding Pitches with Optional ElectricMar 2024

Beautiful location with a stunning view of the Irish Sea, Barmouth and the Welsh mountains. Was great to spot stars as it was so clear. Owner was helpful and welcoming. Fire pit and logs available, that's always a bonus. Facilities where good and clean. Can walk to Barmouth in less than an hour or catch the train over the bridge. Great for the kids.

Wonderful trip

Camping Pod - Pod 2 Mountain ViewSep 2023

We absolutely adored our stay and didn't want to come home. The pod we stayed in was tired and needs a new bed, however that didn't ruin our stay and we are already looking at when we can go again. We could have done with more communication with the owners but grabbed them when we saw them on site. Please don't book this place, it means we are more likely to get a spot again 😂😉

New beds for 2024 season all done! Pleased you had a good stay, thank you so much.

Great view at end of summer

Enjoyed 2 night stay. Wonderful views across to Barmouth and over the Irish Sea. Sunset on Saturday was stunning. Toilets/showers might benefit from "engaged" sign but otherwise it was a very good place to stay. Didn't really engage with any member of the team but it all seemed well organised. I liked the tiered style. 25 min walk to Fairbourne and with a 30 min walk along the beach, I was at the ferry crossing which took me to Barmouth.

Olly dog holiday

Large Tent - XXL Grass Pitch with Optional Electric (The Oaks 2)Aug 2023

Very basic. No shop or playground. Shower and toilet in same cubicle/room, so toilet floor is always wet and dirty. Not particularly clean. Campsite on a hill, which has fantastic views but not much else. Nothing to speak of in the area.

Spectacular views

Medium Tent - Medium Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023

Although location to town was good and the owners were lovely, (facilities were clean too) the general site wasn't what I expected. We were on a hill and our pitch was on top level and the majority pitches had go up a bank to get to your tent, which isn't good when wet and slippery. I also have problems with my knees and although I struggled, I did manage (just). So if I wanted to do the 10 minute walk into the small village, I would never been able to walk up the hills back to tent. I struggled coming back from toilets as it was a level below us and no stairs down, just part pebbly road. We were also on slate, so my partner bent many tent pegs we put in (always take spares). The only thing I can say which made the weekend were the fellow campers next to us. They said the same. The views overlooking the sea/estuary to Barmouth was out of this world, day and night, and the rain didn't spoil it. If you're fit and healthy and good at walking up and down hills, this site is definitely worth visiting. We were hoping to use the car less but unfortunately, we're not getting any younger.
