Do I need to book far ahead for the Welsh coast?

For Three Cliffs Bay, yes — it is popular enough that next season's bookings open on a single announced date. Inland sites in Eryri are easier at short notice outside school holidays.

Are campfires allowed in Wales?

At Graig Wen, yes, in the designated spots. Most other sites prohibit open fires entirely, so check before you pack anything.

Is Eryri or the Gower better for a first trip?

The Gower for coast and easier walking, Eryri for mountains and darker skies. Both are within a couple of hours of each other.
