What customers say
This well-kept campsite boasts stunning mountain views and a peaceful vibe. Guests rave about the beautiful location and easy riverside walk to Beddgelert. Pitches are roomy, and facilities are clean, if a bit dated. Friendly staff, direct trail access, and decent Wi-Fi are big pluses. Poor cell signal & midges were noted, and some found it pricey, but most want to return!
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
We’ll be back when the suns shining, this place is special!
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked The views!!! Simply stunning!
The pitch sizes were enormous!
The space -despite it being a large camp site you were miles away from you neighbours.
A quick and efficient check in process.
The location is perfect, the riverside walk, the pond and the short but beautiful walk into Beddgelert were amazing.
Disliked Two shower/ toilet blocks with only three showers each (on such a large site) meant you had to be up and at em’ to get a shower!
Unfortunately the weather was dire - but we’ll definately be back!

Honestly the nicest site we have stayed at yet, beautiful location!
Powered grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Beautiful location, lovely clean site! Best site we have stayed at yet. Spacious plots, we went with a family member and requested to be next to each other which they did without hesitation and also gave us a lovely couple of plots that were quite private! Facilities were nice and clean, and overall loved it! Unfortunately you can’t control Mother Nature and we hit a bad weekend for weather but managed a walk into Beddgelert with the kids and then chippy tea as too wind and wet outside to cook! Made the most of it and will defiantly be coming back. Loved it!
Disliked Nothing! Would prefer a little more lighting for when walking to the toilet blocks, a torch works great but very dark!

Excellent, my new favourite campsite in Snowdonia
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful views and really nice site. Our pitches were huge and there was also plenty of free space around the camp for the kids to play in. Toilets and showers were clean and the water was hot. What more could you ask. I also enjoyed the quiet, 9:30 quiet time suits us. Pleasant walk into Beddgelert off the road

Convenient for Beddgelert with level potches but too expensive.
Powered grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked The after hours procedures were well communicated and all went smoothly with a clear map of where to pitch left in a drop box.
The pitch was flat and the facilities were well maintained.
Just a short 15min walk into Beddgelert on the flat and away from the road.
Disliked It was over priced - it being similar to the Forest Holidays campsite nearby which for similar money offers a well stocked shop and opportunity to order food in.

Good site well ran, vehicle recognition to enter site good.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Lovely location with off road walk into the village of Beddgerlert. Electric & water by each pitch. Good position for activities such as hiking, kayaking, swimming and climbing.
Positioned at the foothills of Snowden.
Disliked The facilities adequate but could do with updating.
Some form of low level lighting such as lights on electric posts as pitch black at night would be helpful.

Liked Very calm and quiet site with good facilities. We were able to move our pitch when we discovered it was too bumpy for a tent without any difficulty. We liked the outdoor covered cooking area and indoor seating for backpackers.
