What customers say
This well-kept campsite offers fantastic mountain vistas & a lovely riverside spot, a quick stroll from Beddgelert village. Guests rave about the friendly staff, roomy pitches, & clean amenities. It's a prime spot for hiking in Snowdonia. While mostly peaceful, some found WiFi spotty and had minor notes on older shower facilities or midges.

Powered grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Location was perfect and the pitches were well maintained. The lady that checked us in was super friendly. The extra field for families or children wanting to play was a nice touch, and it had a few picnic benches. It was a short walk to the local town which had a gift shop and lots of pubs and restaurants. Short drive to Mt Snowdon. Didn’t try out the activities but there was plenty of water sports at the lakes nearby.
Disliked There was no small shop on site just for basic things such as firewood. A shop isn’t essential but it would have made a nice touch. The shower block seemed a bit worn, and a lot of people didn’t use the squeegee after they’d been in, which takes 2 seconds, just to make it slightly more pleasant for the next person using it. We were made to sign a disclaimer as we travelled with two other couples regarding understanding the site rules and quiet time, however there were others that clearly ignored that, that weren’t part of a group and blasting music until midnight.

Beautiful location but not for us
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Location is beautiful, short walk to Beddgelert, nice site with lots of facilities
Disliked Didn’t find it was well managed, bins full, toilets without toilet rolls, lots of rules which we were comfortable with,but nobody stuck to them and nobody reminded those clearly not following. I paid for pitch with water, but there wasn’t any water, tap close by, but another pitch constantly hooked up. Not good value

Really nice campsite in a really lovely area.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked The site was very pretty and had great access to the the river and the footpath into the village. The facilities were very clean and easy to use. The staff were freiendly and helpful when checking in. The water tap behind the hard standing pitches was really useful!

Our 2nd stay here, Love this site and will return.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Large spacious pitches in well maintained grounds.
Helpful, friendly staff.
A large site but very peaceful and quiet.
Excellent location in the Snowdonia Hills but close to a village.
An abundance of walks straight off site.
Good, well maintained amenity blocks.
Barriered access and ecit for security.
Disliked Could do with a fenced area to allow dogs off lead.

The best site we have been to in North Wales
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Beautiful views extremely clean facilities friendly and very helpful staff.
Dog walks very clear and well maintained , nice clear pitches with a grass area dedicated to the hard area. Water points on each hard ground pitch. Nice and quiet at night a 15min leisurely walk in to town from the site The Internet worked really well
The river was a welcome relief on the hottest of days there are shallow parts to sit in and deeper points to immerse oneself in
Is the best campsite we have stayed in by a country mile and will be coming back
Disliked People don't believe it when you say it is perfect and nothing should change so to come up with a constructive comment
The waste disposal grey and toilet waster could be better positioned near the wash facilities as most sites might have to do all ablutions and tasks in one area and you can wash your hands afterwards but it is nit picking and only one nit!
Going even further in to realms of 'out of the box thinking' a huge change would be an affordable supplies shop selling basics like bread eggs milk etc as the cost in town at the one shop was exorbitant and would have meant we wouldn't have had to leave the site.

Superb, will visit again.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great pitch and campsite. Plenty of space and facilities. Very close to the village, only a short walk. Quiet, no vehicle noise, just the sound of the river.
Disliked No temperature control on the showers, but not really a problem.

Perfect and the staff are a credit to the site.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Absolutely loved this site, so spacious, everything kept clean and tidy, Staff were brilliant in every way. This site rates above all others i have stayed in so far. Tiny details like mowing grass paths to make walking around the site to see the river and dog walking areas all kept to a high standard. Site is beautifully set within walking distance of a lovely village Beddgelert for supplies and eateries. An the stunning panoramic surroundings of the Snowdonia mountains are all around you. For anyone looking for walks, whether easy or challenging you can do this straight from the site and is highly recommended. I cannot recommend this site enough..everyone I spoke to around said the same...Thank you Cae Du, an thank you to all your brilliant staff who have made this a must return site, for sure.
Disliked Leaving....but will return
