Camping groups at Llyn Gwynant Barns

Printable documents: Camping groups in the barns, Barn Terms and Conditions and Kitchen Barn.  The Llyn Gwynant barns are beautiful and private with their own private camping fields and are only let to one group at a time. The barns are now a popular wedding venue so usually available only midweek or low season for groups.  Small groups (ie those whose fees are < £800 per night) get the Kitchen and Tall barns with one field, while large groups (fees >£800) get all barns and both fields.  The facilities of the entire complex include:

  • The Kitchen barn has commercial kitchen with seating and a small mezzanine area, see Barn kitchen. The adjacent Tall barn has alpine style sleeping platforms for around 20 but no beds or bedding.
  • The Big barn is a large hall with stage at one end. An indoor toilet block has 2 hot showers and 3 toilet cubicles, one level entry for wheel chairs with an infant changing table, see Big barn.
  • The barn yard has parking for around 20 cars, 2 electric hook-ups and an outside toilet block with flush toilets. The campsite  has hot (free) showers a couple of hundred yards away.
  • The barn fields have ample grass for tents or for privacy, with 6 electric hookups suited to small campervans and caravans at top of the field and around the barns.
