  • Llyn Gwynant Campsite offers a shared freezer for ice packs only. No food may be stored there – any food or drink placed there will be thrown out. There is no communal fridge, so bringing a cool box is recommended.

  • You need a cable with a standard blue 16 amp round CEE-form plug (commonly used on UK campsites). Household plugs do not fit directly into the EHU, so you will need an adapter if you want to use household appliances. A cable length of at least 10 metres is recommended, as EHU points can sometimes be located centrally and may not be right next to your pitch. Do not use high-powered devices such as electric heaters or microwaves with the EHU, especially in tents, as the supply is limited (generally 6 amp or 10 amp). Adapters and cables can be purchased from camping and caravan outlets or online.
