Staying at Dolgam campsite nestled between Betws-y-coed and Capel Curig, on the bank of the river Llugwy. It is very near to Moel Siabod and the Gwydyr Forest on its doorstep. Moel Siabod offers a Grade 1 scrambling route up via the Daear Ddu Ridge.
There is a bus service from Betws-y-Coed to Pen y Pass every hour and to Ogwen every two hours and it has a stop outside of the campsite.
Starting from Pen y Pass you can walk up to Snowdon via the Pyg Track or The Miner's Track, or as a more challenging option, undertake the Crib Goch scramble.
From Ogwen, Tryfan offers classic Grade 1-3 scrambling and extensive trad climbing. You could also do the Cwm Bochlwyd Horseshoe scrambling up the North Ridge of Tryfan, traverse to Glyder Fach via Bristly Ridge, descend via Y Gribin. Or various circular combinations of the peaks of the Glyderau.
Other than many walking, scrambling and climbing opportunities in the area there are mountain biking trails nearby (The Gwydyr Trails are less then 5 minutes away on bike from the campsite as well as other nearby trails).
The cost is £12 per night. When we book we get a code for access and it is fine to come and leave at any time.
They prefer cash so please arrive with the correct money for the meet steward to pay in one go.
The Ugly House Tearoom (a Rockhopper favourite) is very close, and numerous pubs with Capel Curig and Betws-y-Coed being a short drive away.
Come join everyone for a Bank Holiday bash.
