Site recommendation - Barmouth, Wales

[Andacami]

Did a search on here but came up with nothing definitive. I'm looking for a site nr Barmouth for our 8m Motorhome. EHU would be nice but could live without for the right spot. Dates are 2, 3 & 4 July. We'd want to cycle around, particularly Mawddach Trail – Dolgellau.

Thank you

Hendre Mynach is the most convenient and it is lovely

Thanks, got that one on the list. What's it like? Cycle (we are not fit and don't do long or steep hills very well) to Barmouth and back ok?

Very plain but nice clean site.Lots of privately owned statics
The Beach is 1/2 mile walk/ ride and is miles of unspoilt sand
Road to Barmouth is the coast road and fairly flat

Not very much in Harlech apart from the Castle. Couple of good-ish eateries

We are planning a trip to the area - there are several sites to choose from the south side of the estuary and you can cycle the bridge to Barmouth or go East on the Mawdach trail (old railway line). Between Morfa Mawdach and Fairbourne there are lots of sites.

The barmouth campsite is horrible, right next to and below the railway line. The mawddach cyclepath however is excellent. I would park in the car park in dolgellau do the cycle ride have your lunch in barmouth and then cycle back and stay somewhere else. We like Shell island but other options are available.

It's about 10 minutes walk to the steepest road in the Northern Hemisphere measured at around 37.5%! Albeit the road sign says 40%!
Don't worry about the gradient though as long as you've got good brakes on your bikes as it's one way downhill!

We had a bite to eat in Y Branwen and was good. Dog friendly as well. 10 minutes walk.

Eryri greets you on the way in!

And this is the view from the touring area.

ps probably the best toilet block we've ever been in!

HI there, We left the Vanner Campsite near Dolgellau this morning. It is £15 per night for pitch and electric, hardstanding or grass. Facilities are ok but it is right on the river. The only issue is whether they would be able to take an 8m van. Suggest you give them a call. http://www.vanner.co.uk/

Hendre Mynach site is good location just outside Barmouth so easy cycle or walk in. Yes we are parked up just below the railway line but trains few and far between so not a disturbance at all. Big site so would imagine it’s very busy during school hols but fine now and would certainly stay here again. Walked over the bridge and to the start of the cycle path today, nice walk though rather wet!!

Thanks all

Hendre Mynach I would suggest is the closest to town and easy access along a flat promenade to the last section which is a bit hilly. However, once there and across the bridge you are on the trail. It’s a good bike ride. Enjoy. Maybe the example given by jongood for parking up in Dolgellau. However each to there own, she’ll island is a bit marmite. I hated it on the visits I’ve made. Feral!

 

[Andacami]

Thanks for the tips, managed to get a couple of nights at Hendre Mynach and one at Min-y-don to add to a couple already planned in, so I think a good mix of things to do and see on foot/bike/public transport.

So pleased I asked on here, ideas much appreciated and really looking forward to our trip; it starts tomorrow
