Electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: The site is beautifully kept. Toilets, showers and sink areas were always clean. Great location for a quick walk to Beddgelert and the copper mines. Very dog friendly. All staff are lovely and couldn’t do enough for you. Special mention to John who was particularly helpful. As a first time solo female traveller I was slightly nervous about camping out alone but I felt very safe on this site and will not hesitate to stay again.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike. I loved it.

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch

Liked: Fantastic location, the site is the perfect base to walk out from. I took my campervan and didn’t feel the need to drive off anywhere. Well thought out facilities, there is a large community room with games and books, they have maps and guidance of all the local walks and attractions. The showers are large with lots of hooks and shelf areas to place your clothes without them getting wet. The site offers free WiFi, this is good enough to browse and make calls. The staff are very friendly and helpful, my electric lead was too short for the pitch and we were able to borrow a longer lead for a small deposit, they also have fire pits for hire and you can purchase wood on site which they come round and deliver for you.

Disliked: The pitches are very exposed, this isn’t so much a negative but I do like a pitch which has boundaries. I felt like I couldn’t open up my tent fully as the pitches were very close with no screening. This felt like you were sharing space and felt a little uncomfortable.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting, large pitch with a river behind us. Facilities were clean and in great condition. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The campsite itself was very quiet and peaceful, even on a busy Saturday. Very dog friendly, Our dog loved the walk by the river! Good location, close to Snowdon and the lovely village of Beddgelert. Lots of long walks in the area. Could not fault the campsite and will absolutely be back. Thank you for such a lovely long weekend away.

Disliked: Nothing!!

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (water hook-up)

Liked: Clean site, friendly, helpful staff. Convenient for many local amenities and adventures. Nothing too much. Dog friendly, and super clean toilet and shower facilities. Quiet hours, so no obnoxious neighbour noise. Community room and lots of washing up facilities. Superb value for money, highly recommend a visit.

Disliked: Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and large level pitches.
