The Llyn Gwynant barns consist of a large Dutch barn, adjoining tall barn and camping barn as well as a recently renovated agricultural barn. All are being gradually restored. See the Barns page for general details and Campsite layout map for the barns situation. The Camping and Dutch barn are used for large camping groups, see our Camping barns page. The outstanding beauty of our location and of these fine stone buildings also makes them a popular venue for weddings, birthday parties and other celebrations. Functions can include camping in the adjacent fields, and the erection of marquees and other facilities.

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 is furniture including armchairs, benches, tables and chairs, and a wood-burning stove. The Dutch barn has a large high indoor space that can accommodate around 300 people with a stage at one end. Marquee tents as well as campers can use the adjacent Barn field and Cae Hendre. Portaloos can optionally be placed outside the barns as the toilet block is several hundred yards away.

Conditions apply: The barns are available on these conditions:

Noise control: Only acoustic music is allowed outside, and only during the day. Sound systems must be inside and sound levels must reasonable at the campsite, barely audible after 11.00 pm and inaudible after 1.00 am. A refundable noise bond will be required where sound systems are used.

Clean up: Barns and fields must be left tidy, with rubbish in closed bags, glass and cans separated for recycling - labeled bins can be provided to help with recycling.

Fires: are permitted either on steel firepits that we provide, or on the fire site in Cae Hendre field. Wood can be sold in advance.

Vehicles: Small groups using only the camping barn must keep vehicles in the yard. For large functions in both barns, parking must be in Barn field, and the road to the campsite must be kept clear.
