Discover dramatic Welsh clifftop campsites, sandy bay pitches, and mountain valley basecamps across North, Mid, and West Wales.

From Pembrokeshire Puffin Islands to Snowdonia Slate Peaks

Wales punches far above its size for outdoor variety. In the north, Eryri (Snowdonia) and the Llŷn Peninsula combine towering 3,000ft mountain passes around Beddgelert, Llanberis, and Capel Curig with turquoise coves on Anglesey and Abersoch.

Further south, the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and the Gower Peninsula offer 186 miles of coastal footpath, Atlantic surf at Newgale, Whitesands, and Rhossili, and Eco-campsites tucked into wildflower meadows just yards from the cliff path.

  • Eryri (Snowdonia): Riverside and lakeshore campsites near Bala, Beddgelert, and Betws-y-Coed are ideal for kayaking, mountain biking, and summit hikes.
  • Pembrokeshire & Ceredigion: Look for Greener Camping Club certified meadows around St Davids, Marloes, and Mwnt for low-density pitches with campfire pits.
  • Gower Peninsula: Family and surf-friendly sites near Three Cliffs Bay, Oxwich, and Llangennith.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Greener Camping Club in Wales?
Many of the finest small rural eco-campsites in Wales operate under the Greener Camping Club exemption, which guarantees spacious, low-impact pitches and includes annual membership (~£12) in your first booking.
Can you have campfires at Welsh coastal campsites?
Most rural farm and meadow sites in Pembrokeshire and Eryri allow raised off-ground fire bowls using kiln-dried logs sold on site, provided wind conditions are safe.
