Pentre Bach Bunkhouse provides dog friendly, alpine style accommodation and a camp-site.

The Bunkhouse has central heating and has two floors. The ground floor has tables with benches and a cooking area with electric hobs, microwaves, fridge and freezer. Upstairs are alpine sleeping platforms with mattresses for 16. Drying room and toilets with washing facilities and showers, shared with the camp-site, are just across the yard.

The campsite is ideal for individuals, families, and groups of up to 35 people. It is a small, peaceful site with simple facilities. There is a compost toilet block within the camping field, as well as toilets and showers shared with bunkhouse guests.

Scout Camps in Snowdonia – Special Offer for Scouts

September 9th 2026

Pentre Bach Bunkhouse and Campsite has been hosting Scout camps for the last 20 years. We have a communal firepit, which is always a winner for sitting around and telling stories of the day. We are suitable for Scout camps as we have 16 beds in an Alpine-style dorm with 16 mattresses on sleeping platforms, which is always fun! Downstairs is one big open space for cooking, dining, and socializing. We have a campsite too, so we can accommodate up to 35 people altogether. Camping is £10 pppn for Scouts instead of our normal £12.
