Autumn Snowdonia Holiday

Looking for a glamping Snowdonia experience this Autumn?  Visit North Wales for dark night skies and spooky halloween thrills with our Snowdonia glamping. 

 

Graig Wen is a fantastic location for family glamping adventures in Eryri/Snowdonia National Park – and we’re open until January!

Within about an hour of our Snowdonia holiday accommodation, there’s so much to do, from Zip World activities, canyoning and gorge scrambling to kayaking, mountain biking and SUP boarding.

On the doorstep of our Snowdonia glamping site is the Mawddach Trail – a traffic free, flat route ideal for family cycling holidays. Cycle from Graig Wen across the iconic bridge to seaside Barmouth. 

If mountain biking is your thing for a family glamping holiday in Wales, Coed y Brenin mountain bike centre is 15 minutes drive from Graig Wen.  Set in a vast forest with rocky rivers and waterfalls, the Minotaur route is a wild ride for families and there’s a skills area too.

For all weather activities, Zip World’s Caverns has three unique underground adventures to choose from: try Bounce Below’s giant illuminated trampolines; four floors of golf with a difference; or push your bravery and endurance to the test with 13 zip lines, via ferrata, rope bridges and tightropes  – all in underground caverns colourfully it up.

Join Corris Mine Explorers for an authentic tour of a disused slate mine just 20 minutes drive from Graig Wen.  For younger children there’s a magical adventure into King Arthur’s Labyrinth also at Corris Caverns. Graig Wen guests benefit from an exclusive 20% discount for bookings up to 24 October 2025. Check with us for the discount code when you book.

Experience raw adventure gorge scrambling and canyoning in Snowdonia’s ancient Celtic rainforest. Snowdonia Adventure Activities will meet you for expertly guided and great value activities 45 minutes drive from Graig Wen.

Go kayaking or SUP on Wales’s largest lake, Llyn Tegid at Bala, 30 minutes drive away.  Nearby are the white water thrills of the National Whitewater Rafting Centre.

Autumn Snowdonia Halloween Thrills!

For a family glamping holiday in Wales this Autumn there’s unique thrills to be found!

From 9th October – 2nd November 2025 at Zip World Fear Fforest you’ll find the ultimate Halloween experience as demonic clowns haunt illuminated woods in a spine tingling spook fest. There’s terrifying night rides on the Cursed Coaster and a Screamride on one of Europe’s largest swings.

Leading up to Halloween you can pick pumpkins at Maesafallen Farm (Aerfen, LL23 7DP), about 40 minutes drive from Graig Wen.  Starting Saturday 11th October 2025, you can pick pumpkins on Saturdays and Sundays throughout October, with special openings for Halloween on Thursday 30th and Friday 31st October.  At weekends there will also be mobile catering on site. Dogs on leads welcome too.

On Saturday 1st November 2025 there is a spectacular fireworks display over Barmouth harbour. You can often watch this across the Estuary from Graig Wen close to the comfort of your glamping accommodation.

Griag Wen is only an hour and a half from the Welsh border so if you’re in Shropshire, Cheshire, Anglesey or the Wrexham areas looking for “family glamping near me” then our Snowdonia glamping accommodation is nearby.
