Base Camp Betws-y-Coed
Group accommodation and exclusive hire in Snowdonia
In the heart of Eryri
Wake up in the mountains, together.
Base Camp Snowdonia sits in Betws-y-Coed, in the middle of the national park, so your group is minutes from Snowdon, the Glyderau and the trails through the Gwydyr Forest. Walk out of the door and into the hills, with a heated drying room and a lockable store for the gear when you get back, and the Waypoint cafe and bar on site for a coffee or an evening pint.

Exclusive hire
Take the whole hostel for your group, with no other guests in the building. The dorms, the private rooms and the communal spaces are all yours, and Eryri is right on the doorstep.
Who we host in Snowdonia
Climbing and walking clubs come for Snowdon, the Glyderau and the Gwydyr Forest, with a heated drying room and a lockable store for the gear. Schools, university societies and Duke of Edinburgh groups use us as an affordable base in the heart of the national park, easy to reach by train or minibus and a short walk from the trails.
Stag and hen weekends take the whole place, and the Waypoint bar with it. Corporate away-days swap the meeting room for a mountain, with team walks straight from the door. Families and friends gather everyone under one roof, with private rooms for some and dorm bunks for the rest. Whatever the trip, tell us your numbers and we will build one tailored quote.
