Quiet, laid-back, family run site on riverbank
"What a fantastic wee hidden gem."
"This is a no frills fantastic little site"

‘Don’t expect a swimming pool, a bar or a shop’ say the owners of Dolgamedd Caravan and Camping Park – this laidback Gwynedd site is a place that's all about the joy of no-frills stays, embracing the natural setting and soaking up the peace of its fabulous Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park location. Indeed there may be no pool, but this laidback family-run site has something that's arguably just as enticing, as it's on the banks of the Wnion river, with direct access to the river for fishing, paddles and swims if you like (chillier than a pool, perhaps, but still a whole lot of fun…) Guests have been coming here for many years, with several of them returning time and again for repeated doses of the peaceful atmosphere on site and the plethora of outdoor activities available in the local area. Dolgellau (10 minutes' drive) is a well-known hub for walkers and hikers, and there are plenty of options nearby for mountain bikers and climbers too. Getting out and about should be fairly straightforward, as the site is only a little way off the A494 and has a bus stop almost outside. The evening activity of choice on site is usually a quiet glass of wine and a barbecue or campfire by the river – and to keep that peaceful vibe going there's a no-music policy here, and a general request to preserve the peace (party types and large groups will need to look elsewhere for their accommodation). Although this site is no-frills in style, it does have a good collection of essential facilities for its guests – these include toilets, showers, wifi, a launderette, a shared fridge and freezer, a washing-up area and a chemical disposal point.

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch (riverside)

Liked: Idealic setting right by the river, the facilities were top notch and a quiet relaxing atmosphere. There was a rope swing that my son enjoyed I will most definitely consider staying again if visiting the area.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting by the river, spacious pitches, friendly and helpful staff, good, clean, working washing up station and washrooms with hot showers. Being dog friendly with loads of space for walks and sniffs was a bonus!

Disliked: Would have preferred the showers to stay on for a little longer each time but that’s being really picky! Would have liked to have seen each pitch with a useable wooden picnic bench - ours was a bit too rickety to sit down at, but was great for tying the dogs to!

From the manager: Thanks, glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Yes, some of the picnic benches have seen better days - we're trying to fix that.

Pip M. Nov 2024

Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch (riverside)

Liked: Lovely pitches by the river, with some of the nicest floor level free fire pits, with stone surrounding them. Ground was firm and good for putting up tents. Facilities are clean and nice, fridge and freezer available. No signal down by the tent though, probs a bit too remote, but at least you can access wifi up by the kitchen. Friendly welcome, we enjoyed our stay here.

Disliked: The only real draw back was the busy road nearby, otherwise it would have been 5 stars.

Local attractions

This area is home to some of the most popular walking trails in Eryri/Snowdonia National Park, including the Torrent Walk and Precipice Walk (both trailheads are within 10 minutes' drive). Those of a more ambitious nature may like to tackle the Minffordd Path up Cadair Idris (15 minutes away) or the mountain bike paths at Coed-y-Brenin (20 minutes) while families and leisure cyclists try the riverside Mawddach Trail (10 minutes). Up the thrill levels again with an activity at the National White Water Centre (half an hour) or one of the adventures on offer at Zip World Llechwedd (40 minutes). All a bit too hair-raising? Opt instead to visit the Dyfi Osprey Project (half an hour) or take a stroll around the colourful village of Portmeirion (40 minutes). Taking to the coast is always an option, too – perhaps for some bird spotting at RSPB Mawddach Valley (10 minutes), some history at Harlech Castle (45 minutes) or a day on the beach at Barmouth (25 minutes).
