Group regulations for Llyn Gwynant Campsite
Nantgwynant, North Wales

Campsite regulations are available in a printable version from our document library.

Llyn Gwynant Campsite is one of the few places where groups as well as families are accepted for camping. However all groups, including gatherings of more than one family, are accepted only if they agree to abide by the campsite regulations as well as the following conditions. In particular we require that our visitors are respectful of our staff, other campers, and the environment.

Registration:
Groups which include more than 4 adults may be registered for their stay. This means that vehicle details are recorded, and one member of the group takes responsibility for the behaviour of the group. The group leader will be approached if noise levels or other behaviour cause our staff concern. A noise bond may be required if we have not met your group before. This may be up to £200.00 per group, or£20.00 per person. This money will be refunded if your behaviour meets our regulations. We love returning noise bonds to well behaved campers!

Noise:
Our campsite is for nature lovers'. Stereos, radios and other sound systems are not allowed. We do permit acoustic instruments. But this is not the place for parties or loud gatherings. Many people on site are walkers and need to retire early so as to leave early for mountain walking and other activities. We therefore require that after 11.00pm all campers behave quietly. Talking is acceptable but only quietly and in small groups - shouting from one side of a large group to the other is not acceptable. To keep the peace we will register your group and ask you to pay a noise bond if we have not met the group before, or have any doubts about the behaviour of any members.

Dogs:
Dogs are welcomed only if they are kept on a leash.

Fires:
Groups are not to have large fires, unless they are in the special group campfire area of Cae Hendre. Fires are to be only in a single firepit - anything larger kills the grass.

Recycling:
Groups are required to separate cans and glass for recycling. If you are a large group we can arrange for large labelled bins to help you with this effort.

Valuables:
Please be aware that even in our beautiful part of Wales, thieves have been known to operate. Groups should take care to cover iitems such as cameras in their cars or tents so as to reduce the likelihood of theft.

Responsible youth leaders
We will not hesitate to admonish and/or report to authorities any member of staff we believe has acted irresponsibly or recklessly towards the young people under their care, or towards us and our property, or towards members of the public and their property.
