Camping in Wales

[Redder Lurtz]

Nope, not an hilarious jape about Flying Pig, I'm looking for a decent camp site in Wales, for a couple of days in early May. Ideally somewhere mountainous, near the coast and in short-ish driving distance of a castle or two, preferably with a pub closeby. Not Conwy though, would prefer somewhere a little further down the coast. Any recommendations of either places or camp sites much appreciated.

Shell island. Pub and shop on site, Harlech castle is close by and it's right by the sea. I'm going there in May, been loads of times it's boss. No need to look anywhere else.

EDIT: hold on, there's a better one if I can remember...

 

EDIT 2: I can't. Curse my metal body.

I stayed in Porthmadog for 10 days back in 1983 with a local lad I was in the Army with, obviously things have changed since then but it was a decent enough place once the locals decided they would speak to an Englishman. Drank mostly in some railway pub as the Landlord was from County Durham and a good egg. Went drinking in Bangor a few times, strange place. Nice countryside and enough places of interest to visit in the area.

Fuck sake. Apparently it has to be within 2 hours of Preston and not the lakes.

Any of them any use? According to google maps, Bangor is near exactly two hours from Preston. That search shows all the sites within resonable distance of Bangor.

 

I have no inside knowledge. I'm at work and its quiet and I'm bored. Hope this helps.

Go to anglesey. Nice beaches search for campsites around bangor / menai bridge.

Riverside campsite -

5 miles from Penrhyn Castle, 5 miles or so from Llanberis, about 10 miles from Aber falls, 8 minutes from Menai bridge. 

 

Site is amazing, staff there are superb, and it's incredibly clean with an amazing bistro on site.

Queen's Park in Wrexham is worth considering. It's a beautiful friendly place.

Your a bad liar Spy Bee

Well apparently we're going to the Peak District now. Fuck sake.

That's not in Wales y'know!

Don't worry, RL, we've all done similar.  Yes, I think we've all "camped in Wales" in our confused youth, haven't we?

 

Now "visiting the peak district".  Well I'm sorry, I just don't want to hear about that sort of thing.

 

Disgusting.

Both Melons and Lurtzy are welcome into my home anytime. I will arrange my servants to clear out the west wing and double security.
