Situated on the A498, 5 miles north of Beddgelert, or coming from the A5 turn south at Capel Curig then pass through Pen-y-Gwyrd and proceed down the valley for 2 miles. Note that the turn off from the main road is a sharp right-hand turn and it may be easier to proceed a further 200m to the side of the lake and turn there, driving back up to the entrance. If you use a SatNav it will most likely send you to the wrong end of the lake - about a mile out.
Nearby Attractions
Walk up Snowdon directly from the site either south (on the A498) to the Watkin path from Nantgwynant, or north (on the A498) to Pen-y-Pass for the PYG or Miners tracks. Many more wonderful mountain walks are nearby - ask our wardens.
The picturesque village of Beddgelert is a 10 minute drive (5 miles) from the site, Llanberis is 20 minutes and Caernarfon, Porthmadog and Betws-y-Coed are 30 minutes away.
The lake, Llyn Gwynant, and the river, Afon Glaslyn are freely accessible from the site and you can bring your own paddle boards, kayaks and cabins, or small sailing boats at no extra charge. We also offer boat hire (SUPs, kayaks and canoes) on site during weekends and school holidays.
There is great rock climbing near the site, including the famous Lockwoods Chimney - one of the first documented climbs in Snowdonia.
