The campsite lies in the bottom of a mountain valley and can be subject to extreme weather conditions. Very strong winds and torrential rain can occur at any time of year with localised flooding. Please ensure that your camping gear is robust and correctly erected, and avoid pitching in any obvious dips – see the flooding map in reception window or talk to a warden if you are in doubt. Also read the weather forecast in reception window which is updated each morning.
The mountain weather forecast is often different to the general forecast for Wales because of local weather effects. For example, in northerly winds we often have very good weather in the Nantgwynant valley when the rest of North Wales can be very wet.
