About Gyrn Ddu Campsite

Perched on a headland near Caernarfon, Gyrn Ddu Campsite is an adults-only gem where most pitches command sweeping sea views across the Menai Strait. The setting is wonderfully peaceful – campfires are encouraged as the sun dips below the water – and the lack of WiFi only adds to the sense of escape. Facilities are kept simple (showers, toilets, drinking water) and pets aren't permitted, which helps preserve the tranquil atmosphere.

With just a handful of non-electric grass pitches, it's a small, low-key spot that appeals to those happy to embrace a back-to-basics experience. The sheltered pitches tuck behind if you prefer a little protection from coastal breezes. A perfect little hideaway for couples seeking quiet and views.

Beautiful idyllic location, very peaceful and secluded pitches. We couldn't see any other tents from where we were camped... just the occasional rabbit! We had a lovely warm welcome from Helena. Each pitch has its own firepit and you can buy firewood for £5 (card payment, just scan a QR code), it made for a very cosy evening. Free showers, always nice. Little swimming spot just a short walk away (pebble beach). Worth bearing in mind that motorbikes and cars need to park in a dedicated area, not right beside the tent, but it's very close by and secure. We'd book to stay again in a heartbeat!

Really lovely remote campsite. Decent hot showers. What a treat having the campsite to ourselves, spoiled for choice to which pitch we wanted, they were all really nice. Great views of the mountains and the sea, excellent sunset catching spots. Easy access down to the beach.

We had the most amazing weekend at Gyrn Ddu in July! Its the perfect campsite with everything you need, practically glamping wit the hot showers, toilet block and fire pits. Mitch and Helena were so helpful, and on hand for any questions we had. The surrounding area is so magical, will absolutely be back. I stayed in the yurt which has everything you need for a gorgeous & comfortable stay.

Beautiful campsite! Highly recommend! Each camping bay is on a patch of mown grass, with willow and bushes planted around ut and up the path, so feels private and nature immersive. Lovely showers and loos, and the option to have a fire too. I love that this place seems to have the environment at heart, and the hosts were lovely and helpful, recommending activities in the area. The beach is a short walk away, and a few of the camping spots are nestled in a small valley and offer great wind protection. Would happily stay here again
