Directions to Tyn Yr Onnen Farm Campsite

Just off the A4085 between Caernarfon and Beddgelert is the village of Waunfawr. Look for the Skoda garage on the right, pass this and then take the third left. If you pass a church on the right or reach the bridge over a river, then you have gone too far. The site is on your left about a kilometre from the main village road.
