Coed Obry

The scent of pine resin hangs heavy in the air, and if you wake early enough, you'll catch mist threading through the oaks before the Snowdonia ridges emerge across the valley.

This is a site for campers who like their North Wales rugged and uncomplicated — tents pitched under old woodland, campervans and caravans welcome among the trees. Gwynedd's big draws are all within reach: the peaks, the coast, the slate-grey villages that cling to the hillsides. It suits walkers gearing up for Snowdon, families after a proper outdoor week without too much fuss, and anyone who'd rather hear woodpeckers than ice cream vans. Dogs may be welcome, but it's worth checking when you book.

Facilities are straightforward — toilets and showers onsite, nothing fancy but everything you need. Campfires are sometimes allowed, so ask when you arrive if you're planning to cook over flames. It's a quiet, woodland-sheltered spot with that proper mountain-shadow feeling North Wales does so well.
