Pub Campsite

The clatter of glasses and low hum of Welsh conversation drift across the evening field, mixing with the smell of someone's sausages on a disposable barbecue and the salt edge that blows in from the coast.

This is proper pub camping — a field attached to a local, somewhere in Gwynedd's hill and coast country, suited to anyone after a no-frills pitch and a pint within walking distance. Tent campers, tourers and motorhomes all welcome, though you're here for simplicity rather than luxury. It's the sort of spot that works for couples doing Snowdonia on a budget, dog walkers tackling the coastal path, or anyone who likes their camping sociable and straightforward.

You've got the basics covered — toilets and showers onsite — and campfires are a maybe, so worth asking when you arrive. The vibe's relaxed and unpolished in the best way, with the pub doing double duty as your evening entertainment and breakfast supplier if you've forgotten the bacon.
