Camp Sites
There are several camp sites in Capel Curig and the Ogwen valley. They are all fairly similar in that they provide basic facilities in farmers fields with a shower (usually coin operated) and a couple of W.C’s.

We tend to use the camp site behind the Youth Hostel in Capel Curig as it is handy for the pub and quieter than most.
