Camping barns at Llyn Gwynant

>> Barn Information sheet (pdf)

The Llyn Gwynant Camping barn and adjacent Sleeping barn are available for groups of up to about 50 people, who may also use the private Barn field for camping as well. Groups of more than 50 people will use the larger Function barn and the field Cae hendre as well. Check the Functions page for details about using the larger barns.

Facilities: The Camping barn has electricity, gas, hot and cold water, cooking and washing up facilities, a refrigerator and a freezer, as well as a phone. There are dining and sitting areas with furniture including armchairs, benches, tables and chairs as well as a wood-burning stove. The Sleeping barn adjoining this has access from outside and from an interior door and sleeping platforms for about 20 people, is particularly useful for camping in winter. The Function barn has a large enclosed area with another larger wood burning stove and electric lighting, powerpoints and a stage at one end.

The barn yard is suited for parking up to 20 vehicles with more parking in Barn field only by prior arrangement and in good weather.

Small functions can be held in the Camping barn and larger ones in the Function barn as well, see the Functions page for more. These can be combined with camping and with outdoor events. Marquees can be erected in Barn field in addition to camping tents, and Cae hendre is also suited for camping. Up to 100 tents can be accommodated in Barn field and Cae hendre together. A porta-cabin with 1 ladies and 2 gents + 2 urinals is outside the barns, and portaloos can optionally be added, as the public toilet block is several hundred yards away. (Eventually we will have showers and toilets in the barns, but this will probably not be until 2011.)

Charges: Groups pay a per head per night fee for using the barns and a minimum charge applies. See our Barn rates page for more.

Conditions apply: The barns are not serviced accommodation so a service bond is charged which is returned when the barns are left in a tidy condition. Sound systems are allowed only inside and noise levels must be reasonable so that the campsite is not disturbed. Barns and fields must be left tidy, with rubbish in the bins provided and glass and cans separated and placed for recycling in the campsite bins - labeled bags are provided. Dogs are welcome but not inside the barns and must be on a leash outside. Your group members must clean up after them. Fires are permitted on firepits on Barn field or the fire site in Cae Hendre, but only using wood bought on site - this can be arranged in advance. Please do not bring your own wood. No vehicles are allowed on the camping fields except by prior arrangement.

See the pdf file Terms and conditions for using the barns which can also be downloaded from our Barn documents page. All users of the barns should also be familar with our campsite regulations and also our Group regulations page.
