What customers say
This well-maintained campsite offers clean, modern shower and toilet facilities, often described as exceptional. Pitches are on multi-levels with car parking separate from tents to maintain a peaceful atmosphere. The on-site pub serves good food, and the location is praised for its scenic beauty and proximity to walking routes and attractions. Common concerns include noise from the nearby road and occasional issues with midges. Some guests found it challenging to carry gear to higher pitches and noted a lack of hot water at washing-up stations.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Very well looked after campground with clean and recently furbished shower block and ample parking. Handy that shampoo and conditioner are provided. Friendly and cosy pub on site serving good food. Perfectly located to visit Swallow Falls and Cae'n y Coed forest (both adjacent), Betws-y-Coed (few mins drive) and surrounding mountains.
Disliked Would have liked to see more local ales on offer in the pub.

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Lovely quiet site right next to the shallow falls. From our pitch we could hear the waterfall which was so nice and peaceful. Pitch space is good and plenty of areas to choose from. Toilet and shower block always clean and warm. Staff very friendly and the pub onsite serves great food. Really good location and was able to access loads of different things within a 30 min drive. Would definitely recommend and go again.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked We absolutely loved our two-night stay at Swallow Falls Inn! The location is absolutely stunning and made for such a lovely, peaceful getaway.
All of the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming and accommodating, which really made our stay even better. We were also so impressed by how helpful everyone was — when it was time to leave, the maintenance man even helped take our camping gear back to the car, which was such a thoughtful touch!
There are pitches available right near the loading area if convenience is important to you, but we chose a slightly more secluded and obscure spot, which was perfect for us. It was great having the flexibility to choose the type of pitch that suited us.
We had such a lovely time and would definitely return. Highly recommend Swallow Falls Inn for anyone looking for a beautiful location, friendly staff and a relaxing camping experience!

Unhelpful

Liked Location
Disliked The fact I put in my parameters only to turn up and be told it was tent only, we were rejected from the site in our VW Campervan, the manager was unapproachable and unhelpful. Two adults and two children struggled to find accommodation due to being peak season.
