LAKE VYRNWY CAMPSITE
ABOUT
PLEASE NOTE: We are now closed for the season. Thank you to everyone who camped with us in our 1st year and we look forward to seeing you all again next season!
We're a small family run site just 1 mile down the road from the stunning Lake Vyrnwy.
The farm is on its 4th generation of Thomas', so its been in the family for a while now!
We offer pitched wild(ish) camping for tents and small campervans with easy access to lots of adventures for the whole family. Hire bikes from the local cafe, head out for a paddleboard or kayak on the lake, wander in the forestry, or sit back and relax on site, the choice is yours.
This is our 1st year running the campsite so bear with us and any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
This year we're opening for 56 nights so please see below for our open dates
The address is Lake Vyrnwy Campsite, Brynfedwen, Llanwddyn, Powys, SY10 0LS

BOOK NOW
Things to Note
The site is not manned, you will be sent your pitch number the day before arrival and you're free to head onto site anytime after 2pm and set up. Someone will walk around in the evening to say hello but if you need anything just pop over to the farmhouse across the road as there's usually someone around.
THE SITE
The site is lovely & peaceful, a handy 2 mins walk from the village shop & takeaway and only 1 mile from Lake Vyrnwy. With the river Vyrnwy flowing through at the far side, it's perfect to sit and chill.
Our site is suitable for tents or small campervans (T4 size approx).
With regret, we are unable to accommodate motor homes, large campervans or caravans.
We are also unable to accommodate large groups unless arranged via email as we are a family site not suitable for loud party groups.
We have different sized marked pitches for you to camp & all have a separate parking space for one car if needed.
Fire pits welcome, there is a concrete slab on each pitch for firepits/BBQ's to keep them off the grass.
You're welcome to bring your own fire pit or we have a limited amount available for you to use. Logs will be available to purchase for £5 cash only, please do not cut down any trees on the site for firewood.
Have a browse at our different pitches, if you don't think you'll fit into one just drop us an email and we'll come up with a solution!
WHAT WE OFFER
SPACIOUS PITCHES
Our pitches are generous sizes with most being 10m x 8m and the smallest being 7m x 8m with separate parking space. If you don't think you'll fit in pitch, get in touch and we'll try and find a space for you! All pitches have a 2m gap between them.
FACILITIES
We have portable loos onsite, washing up sink and a refuse area so you can help us keep the site litter free.
PLEASE NOTE that we do not have showers onsite.
VEHICLE ACCESS
You can drive right onto the field up to your pitch to unpack and load up again. There's nothing worse than having to carry all your gear half way across the field! All pitches have a separate parking space, most just opposite your pitch and some just a little walk.
DOG FRIENDLY
We're happy for you to bring your four legged family members with you. Please be aware that we neighbour livestock fields so dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and not left unattended on site.
PITCH TYPES
RIVER ROW
Pitches 9 to 18
All of these pitches back down to the river, perfect to sit back and relax to the sound of the water.Pitches are 7m deep x 8m wide and have a parking space right next to your pitch.
FAMILY CORNER
Pitches 1 to 8
These pitches are located in the top corner of the field and some of them back onto the river. We thought it would be nice to keep this corner specifically for families because after this last year, the kids deserve to make some new friends! These are also some of our bigger pitches most measuring 10m x 8m and one measuring 6.5m x 15m. It should also be a little quieter later in the evening. All of these pitches have a separate parking space a little walk away. Don't worry though you can drive right up to your pitch to unload!
