Booking with us

Bookings are required for all campers and day visitors, with payment at the time of booking. Our campsite is mainly for tents in unallocated pitches, which means you choose where to pitch on the grass camping fields when you arrive. Your car is parked nearby but not beside your tent. If you want electric hook-up (EHU), are camping in a van or roof tent, or want a lakeside non-EHU bay for a tent you can choose a designated pitch. To check prices or book a pitch, first choose your visit type, dates and guest numbers, then press Search below.

Include all guests with your booking as you may not be able to add more later if we get full.

CANCELLATION POLICY: If you cancel your booking 14 days or more before arrival, we will provide a full refund less a £5 admin fee. No refunds for cancellations or moving booking dates less than 14 days before arrival. We do not give refunds because of bad weather as this is out of our control. If you want the flexibility to cancel for bad weather, please take out your own travel insurance.

Please read our simple site rules before you book your stay with us

Our campsite is a quiet place for enjoying nature. We do not want groups to be noisy nor to consume too much alcohol. 

Groups

    • Groups pitching together are limited to 15 people (adults and children, including infants).

    • Everyone in the group must keep to our rules, including being quiet after 11pm, see Rules.

    • No parties or celebrations, no hen, stag or birthday parties are allowed as it is hard for them to stay quiet after 11pm.

    • Groups of rowdy people will be asked to leave. We sometimes allow a group to stay after a warning on payment of a £50 per person behaviour bond; if bad behaviour continues the bond is forfeited and the group must leave.

    • Any groups excluded from the campsite will forfeit all fees paid.

Organised groups

Bona fide groups with a nominated leader who can provide evidence they are from a charity or other organization may be accepted with more than 15 participants – email us at enquiries@llyngwynant.com. 

Depending on numbers you will be asked to pay a good-behaviour bond.

    • A refundable good-behaviour bond of £300 is required for 21–40 people and £500 for more than 40 – please contact us with your booking numbers and we will apply the rate. This will be repaid in full, providing our policies have been respected throughout the stay.

    • Conditions for the bond refund are that behaviour has been responsible, campsite rules followed, wardens’ instructions obeyed and fellow campers treated with respect.

    • Maximum size is 20 people. If you want to bring a larger group you must contact us for approval – do not simply make multiple bookings. If approved, in order not to disturb other campers, we will ask you to split into separate groups of 20 people and to pitch throughout the campsite, not near each other. A refundable good behaviour bond is required (see left.)

    • The youth rate applies to all those under 18 years of age; for those 18 and over the usual adult rate applies.

    • Staff staying overnight in vans and/or wanting EHU must book appropriate bays.

Youth groups

Groups, including Duke of Edinburgh award candidates, school and scout groups, may stay as long as they have a nominated leader and provide evidence they are from an appropriate organization. These conditions must be met:
