Glamping at the Slate Caverns, Snowdonia, North Wales
Blaenau Ffestiniog is a fascinating place: it’s a little enclave within the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park where centuries of slate mining has created a moonscape in the mountains. The locals have enterprisingly turned this to their advantage: it’s now the adventure sport capital of Wales. These six luxury safari lodges in Llechwedd Glamping are right in the heart of the action, with Zip World Llechwedd (home to Bounce Below), Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (home to Velocity 2 and Quarry Karts) and Antur Stiniog Mountain Bike Centre on the doorstep, and the mountain kingdoms of Eryri (Snowdonia) all around.

fforest, Cardigan, Mid Wales

Every August they hold week-long gatherings – fforest Gather – that bring together the best of fforest’s unique ethos for a family holiday that’s full of creative engagement.
Quay West, Ceredigion, Mid Wales

Caerfai Farm, St Davids, West Wales
Camping, cottages, and yurts, set on a clifftop with direct access to the Wales Coast Path. Not enough? The tiny cathedral city of St Davids is a short walk away, and so is the stunning little port of Porthclais. You want even more? Caerfai Farm is an organic farm and they make their own cheese. There. That settles it.
Trellyn Woodland Camping, Abercastle, West Wales
This patch of Pembrokeshire heaven keeps itself deliberately small and beautiful, with just six pitches, three yurts and two domes. But at Trellyn Woodland Camping you do get a wood-fired sauna and pizza oven, and free use of wet suits and surf boards to use at the nearby beach. Heaven.
South Wales campsites
Penhein Glamping, Monmouthshire, South Wales
It’s the sense of rural seclusion than makes Penhein Glamping so magical. Their Persian-inspired glamping tents are tucked away in secluded woodland surrounded by endless countryside – perfect for den-building, paddling and Poohsticks. The farming family who run it put on plenty of family events like den building and campfire cooking, and there’s the glorious Wye Valley and Monmouthshire hills to explore.
