 We spent a fantastic week of wild welsh camping at Graig Wen. This campsite is ideal for the sort of person who likes a bit of space and a sense of being surrounded by nature.
40 acres of woodland and fields make for many intimate little camping spaces and the site is situated right on the edge of Snowdonia National park with fantastic views over surrounding mountains and the Mawwdach Estuary and then out over the sea.
There is pleanty to do locally with great upland and coastal walks as well as all the usual attractions such as pony trekking, cycle hire and a good mix of places to visit locally - whether you feel the need to hang out with beach lovers at traditional seaside town of Barmouth or with bearded types at the inspirational (if slightly dusty) Centre for Alternative Technology.
All in all plenty to do and see here, and the site is run by a very friendly young couple who went out of their way to help us out as well us leave us alone to sit around a fire pit and enjoy the wildness.
The only draw back is that it is a bit of hike to the tiolets and showering facilities, but that's as much by choice as we could have camped closer to the site facilities. Also if you have a problem with sheep then this might not be an ideal site for you as they seem to be ever present on the lower wild fields - but again not so on the fields closer to the facilites.
All in all an very special place to pitch a tent - carry on camping!

A very warm welcome was received from the new owners Sarah and John. Graig Wen is set in a beautiful, remote valley surrounded by breathtaking scenery. With 40 acres to choose from, there's an ideal site for everyone, whether it be tucked into a secluded clearing or perched on a hilltop taking in the view of the estuary.
Facilities are basic but very clean and in good working order. It is a good hike up the hill to the loo and showers so the planned composting loos will be a welcome addition. The nearest shops can be found in Dolgellau (15 minute drive) or Barmouth (1.5 hour walk) so it's advisable to take everything that you need with you. There is plenty to do and see in the area whether you're on foot, bike or in a car. The Centre for Alternative Technology is well worth a visit and is only 30 minutes down the road.
If you're looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and an opportunity to reconnect with nature then this is definitely the place for you! Sarah and John we wish you both well in your new venture and look forward to enjoying the peace at Graig Wen again.
