Join us as we revisit one of the most popular camp events on the OutdoorLads calendar.

Shell Island is located in North Wales between Harlech and Barmouth and boasts stunning views of the unspoilt Welsh countryside, including Cardigan Bay and the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

Shell Island, known as Mochras locally, is a peninsula created in the early 1800's when the nearby River Artro was diverted from its original course (south of the island) to being above the island and so creating a watercourse effectively separating the island and the historic settlement that resided there.

The island itself is famous for the number and variety of shells that wash up on its shores from the powerful tides of the Irish Sea.

There are plenty of places to visit nearby, including Harlech Castle, the Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog railways from Porthmadog in the renaissance Italianate style. 

There are also opportunities for walking, both along the coast, and into the nearby Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Plus, we can go paddling in the sea and have a leisurely stroll along the miles of golden sand.

On Saturday evening we will aim to have a fire on the beach and my infamous Big Gay Musicals Quiz !

Dogs

Well behaved dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a lead at all times and owners must clean up after them. XL Bully dogs and dogs listed in the Dangerous Dogs Act (1991) are not permitted, even if registered. 

Please note that wardens patrol the grounds regularly throughout the day and night and make strict checks regarding this.

Caravans

This site is not suitable for caravans, but motorhomes and campervans are accepted.
