  • Peaceful family-run farm site in North Wales two miles from the coast
  • A 40-minute drive to Snowdonia National Park; 25 minutes to Llandudno
  • Firepits and drinking water available; learn bushcraft skills
Hikers, stargazers and watersports fans alike will find their pursuit from Pentre Du Camping Club. With an abundance of wildlife on site, including birds, owls, foxes and badgers (if you’re lucky enough to spot them), this is a peaceful pop-up site in the North Wales countryside just two miles from the coast. Switch between hiking mountain summits, careering down nearby zipwires or pottering around seaside towns by day and return to peaceful (and often starry) skies at night. This family-run site is within reach of many active or laidback callings, within 40 minutes’ drive from Snowdonia National Park. Listen to the lull of the countryside and pick a plot among 15 acres of pitches set in the 60-acre farm site, including woodlands and trees for climbing. Let yourself be whisked away by several footpaths direct from the site, including the North Wales Path, 60 miles long (with links to the Wales Coast Path). The nearest sandy beach is also within 10 minutes’ drive (walkable distance too). This is certainly a peaceful site, as noise is kept to a minimum after 10pm. Use the toilets, showers and washing up points to prep for the day, and top up your flask using the drinking water supply. Bushcraft skills events are also available on site (speak to staff for details).

What customers say

Top campsite, legend owners! Clean amenities, heaps of space, and fire pits. Awesome spot for walks with ripper views. A few folks mentioned a bit of noise from elsewhere, and the showers/loos could be a tad bigger, but it's a cruisy place overall.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Our second time visiting this camp site and we loved it all the same. Really lovely, peaceful site with plentiful pitches, each pitch has a firepit and wood purchased from the owners. Nice hot showers too!

Disliked On the first night the toilets were a bit smelly and could smell them from across the field, maybe due to the hot summer we've had? Didn't bother us on second night

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Quiet peaceful location, good facilities well maintained/cleaned. Friendly and very helpful owners. Lots of space on the site, especially for children to burn off some energy! Great walk from the site to see the sunset. Campfires at every pitch. Perfect site for stargazing without light pollution!

Liked EVERYTHING!
the site was peaceful, set in beautiful scenery but with easy access to local amenities, well kept, clean toilets and showers and the most amazing starry skies!
The owners are so friendly and accommodating and there are some stunning walks right off the site and it’s an easy drive to so many wonderful spots to visit.

Lynne C.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Sue and steve are excellent hosts, greet upon arrival, friendly and welcoming, selling baskets of logs for the campfires at individual tent pitches. Campsite as a whole is great for couples, families and those with dogs. We had an amazing weekend especially as it was our second visit to pentre du camping as stayed last year. We're looking forward to staying again next year. Overall recommend this campsite .

Disliked Thought basket of firewood was a little expensive this year at £12 as last year it only cost £7.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So nice to see you both again.
We are sorry you found the wood expensive however we have never charged £7
we feel £12 is good price for how much wood you get in a basket.
Hope you enjoy making the sloe gin.
Maybe I will have some honey for you to enjoy next year!

Would recommend staying here again.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Owners very welcoming and helpful. My husband and I stayed for one night following a 53mile bike ride. The owners were very accommodating in allowing us to charge our bikes overnight (my husbands bike ran out about a mile before getting to the site).

Quiet and peaceful. Pitches are of a good size with each pitch having a campfire.

Disliked Nothing

From the manager: Thankyou for a great review.
We felt your beer was well deserved.
Hope to see you on your next adventure.

Local attractions

If you have an active break in mind, then you’ll be well-set with the surf simulation at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (35 minutes' drive). Take on new heights on the zipwires at Zip World Fforest (35 minutes) or Zip World Slate Caverns (55 minutes), where the Bounce Below experience will also take you trampolining in an underground world. Rock climbers will surely be drawn to the iconic cliffside of Craig y Forwyn (an hour and 10 minutes) while fishers should flock to Llyn Brenig (40 minutes) for fly fishing. Snowboarding and skiing more your kind of thing? The Llandudno Ski and Snowboard Centre (25 minutes) has dry slopes. Perhaps keep your eyes peeled for seals at Porth Dyniewaid Angel Bay (20 minutes) and more animals at Welsh Mountain Zoo (15 minutes). And if you’re still raring to go, the flume rides and slides at SC2 Rhyl (20 minutes) will pack some more excitement. For a more gentle stroll, Conwy Castle (20 minutes) or the National Trust’s Bodnant Garden (25 minutes) are also nearby.
