About Cae Llwyd Farm

Tucked into Snowdonia National Park on a working farm, Cae Llwyd offers proper off-grid camping beside the River Machno. There are no showers or drinking water on site, so you'll need to come prepared, but campfires are allowed and the setting – ten minutes from Betws-y-Coed – is wonderfully peaceful. Dogs are welcome to explore the surrounding hills and woodland.

It's basic, family-friendly camping in a genuinely beautiful spot, ideal if you want to escape the more polished sites and don't mind doing without modern conveniences. The location puts you right in prime Snowdonia walking country, with trails leading straight from the farm into the national park.

What visitors say

Rupert Heap

We booked to stay here for 2 nights and loved it. It’s super peaceful and tucked away in a valley. Dan was super friendly and helpful and helped up book a hostel when the wind was so strong our tents were collapsing. Every night between 6-8pm there is a pizza truck. There are compost toilets and a tap (not drinking water). There are also fire pits you can use and logs / kindling you can buy on site at 6-8pm. The campsite is close to snowdon (about 30-50 mins drive depending on which route you take) and is a 10 mins drive into Betws-y-Coed.

Hidden gem of a campsite in the perfect location to explore Snowdonia. Dan was so friendly and helpful upon our arrival, and throughout our stay. The onsite woodfired pizzas really hit the spot too! We will definitely return ☺️

Beautiful site ran by the lovely Dan who's pizzas we unfortunately never got to enjoy! Stunning views and friendly, quiet atmosphere. Would absolutely return in the future.

Area outstanding,views amazing & that's all that's positive about it. Owners not very helpful,given a wheelbarrow(only one available, so had to wait quite awhile)to move camping gear from a very muddy parking area to your pitch,quad bike available but owners too busy as they were making pizza dough. We knew it was only a pop up site but ground was very uneven with rocks. Showers only cold water(garden hose) basic compost toilets. Dry area was OK. We couldn't move off site once here as we wouldn't of got car back in parking area,nothing done to sort out muddy roads(gravel etc).
