What customers say
This campsite offers a superb location with stunning mountain views, perfect for hikers and those visiting Snowdonia. Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, good value for money, and basic but adequate facilities, including a warm drying room with a microwave and fridge. Campfires are permitted. The site is hilly, with some guests noting a struggle to find completely flat pitches. While generally clean, some facilities, particularly showers, received mixed reviews regarding cleanliness and the need for payment. The proximity to Llanberis village and Snowdon paths is a significant advantage.

Liked We had such a lovely stay at this campsite in Llanberis! It’s a really beautiful spot, peaceful and scenic, with amazing views all around. Check-in was easy and the people working at were genuinely friendly and welcoming.
The bathrooms were always clean, and we never had to wait for a shower, which is such a bonus. There’s also a little room next to reception with a kettle, plugs, and a washer/dryer—super handy to have, especially if you’re camping for a few days.
My boyfriend and I picked a spot at the very top of the campsite, right by the rock wall. It was really private and quiet, which we loved. Just a heads-up: not all of the pitches are flat, so definitely check the ground before you pitch your tent, unless you enjoy rolling around on a slant, haha.
Getting to the top of the site is a bit of a climb, it’s a good walk uphill, especially if you're going back and forth from town. But honestly, it’s a nice little incline and you get to walk past sheep on the way up, which adds to the charm.
It’s only about a 10-minute walk to town and the pubs, which made everything feel super convenient. The whole place had such a relaxed and welcoming vibe. I’d absolutely camp here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay close to nature with easy access to town.
Disliked I did try to get in touch with the site before our trip to see if I could switch the dates of our booking, but unfortunately never got a response, despite emailing and calling multiple times. That was a bit frustrating and meant I ended up having to book and pay for new dates. It didn’t ruin the trip by any means, but better communication would’ve been good.
That said, I would still happily camp here again. The views, the vibe, and the overall setup make it a great choice for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a scenic part of Wales.

Liked Beautiful location. Friendly wholesome atmosphere.
Disliked Just communication. We had questions so I emailed and called with no answers. Not a massive issue but would’ve been handy to have the info we needed before arrival.

Great place to stay location wise.…
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Great place to stay location wise. 20 min walk from the base of Snowdon
Disliked Although it was a lovely weekend away, be aware that if you want a shower or to use the restroom, it will be difficult due to the lack of facilities for the amount of people. The campsite is on uneven ground, so pitching a tent and getting a good nights sleep can be challenging, which is surprising having most campers are there to climb the surrounding mountain’s.

Liked I absolutely loved this trip! The price I paid was nothing compared to the stunning view I woke up to every morning. We stayed on top of a hill, and every time we opened our tent, we were greeted by the most breathtaking view of the mines and lake—honestly, such a beauty!
The facilities were basic but had everything you need: two showers and two toilet cubicles each for men and women, plus two outdoor toilet cubicles with washrooms. There are drying facilities you can use for £1 (a nice bonus!) and even a small fridge for campers. There are also campfire spaces, and the site sells extra essentials like logs and pegs if needed.
We hiked up Snowdon using the Watkin Path, which was only 30 minutes from the campsite—super convenient! The Snowdon station was also just a 5-minute drive if you prefer taking the steam train up the mountain. I would comeback for a quick weekend getaway just for the campsite view!
Disliked There’s honestly not much to dislike. The campsite itself has no flat ground, but that’s just nature—if it weren’t for the hills, you wouldn’t get those stunning mountain views! The showers cost £1 for an 8-minute shower and can occasionally play up, but for a basic campsite, I was just glad they had proper showers available.
