Does anyone know any decent camping shops in North Wales ?

We will be going camping for a week very soon in North Wales (Conwy) and if we like the look of other people's kitchen tents/canopies/utility tents/windbreaks etc etc, we may be tempted to find somewhere to buy one while we are there.

There is a big Camping Shop on the road to Black Rock Sands just outside Portmadog. It doesnt have a big tent display but it has a big range of accessories. It seems to be mostly Gelert and is very close to the Gelert Factory. If you go to the roundabout at the Tescos end of Portmadog it is all the way round the roundabout to the last exit if you are coming from the direction of Tescos or the first exit on the left if you have driven through the town centre.

Dont know details but friends were in Llandudno on holiday for day out and came home with a big frame tent from soem kind of outlet warehouse.  Will see if I can get details and post.

There are 'millets' and 'blacks' in LLandudno.  A good shop in Towyn but mainly for caravaners. Gelerts in Beddgelert is possibly the best, but far from conwy, unless you make it a day out there.  Nice place with a lovely campsite at Cae Du.

The camping / caravaning store at Towyn (around 15 miles from Conwy) is excellent. The owner is very helpfull. If the have'nt got it, they will order it for you
