Gwerniago campsite is located in the heartland of Mid Wales, at the most southern point of the Snowdonia National Park. Gwerniago is a family run working farm run by a Welsh speaking family. The campsite is situated on the edge of Pennal village in the beautiful unspoilt Dyfi (Dovey) Valley.
The area is ideally suited for bird watching, walking and cycling. Red Kites can regularly be seen overhead and the Dyfi Osprey nest is visible from the campsite with a good pair of binoculars. Nearby is the RSPB nature reserve at Ynyshir which offers escorted tours to enjoy the vast array of wildlife in the area. The Dyfi Osprey official viewing point is only 15 minutes' drive away and you can visit the hide used in the BBC Spring Watch series. There are cycling tracks nearby, Mach 1, 2, 3 and climax and mountain walks, Cader Idris to name but one. The campsite is popular with single persons, young and mature couples, families, cyclists and walkers. The site affords elevated views across the beautiful unspoilt Dyfi Valley, hills and woodland, and nearby riverside walks. The campsite was voted in the top five by the children in the book, 'Cool Camping Kids'. Campfires are allowed. Parking next to tent.
