The barns at Llyn Gwynant Campsite are Grade II Listed Buildings. They consist of a large enclosed Dutch barn with lean-to, an adjoining enclosed tall barn and camping barn at right angles to the Dutch barn, as well as a separate agricultural barn that has recently been restored. See the barn photo page for details.

These imposing stone buildings are situated a few hundred yards before the entrance to the public campsite. The barns are in a semi-enclosed farm yard, surrounded by hedgerows. This is suited to parking and opens on to two private camping fields: Barn field is a flat area at the top, while Cae Hendre (Hollow field) has a more rolling contour beside the lake. See the campsite layout map for more details, and the campsite area 2 photo page for images of these fields.

We have recently upgraded the barns and plan to improve all our buildings in the next few seasons.

The layout of the barns makes them very flexible. They are often used by large groups who camp in the adjoining fields and use the barns for food preparation and indoor activities. They are also used for functions such as weddings and birthday celebrations, see our Camping barns and Functions pages for details on these different uses. In the low season it is possible to hire just the camping barn while in the high season both barns are usually let together with the adjacent camping fields. There is room in the Barn field for marquees as well as camping tents, forming a private and very beautiful space for groups.

Conditions apply to the use of the barns, see our group information and regulations for more. Noise must be limited so as not to disturb the quiet of the public campsite, so for example sound systems are restricted to inside the barns, and quiet is usually required after midnight.
