Overall the location is great. If the bug situation is sorted

Karleigh A. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Nice quiet campsite, restaurant/bar and toilets close by. The one member of staff that we seen was very friendly.

Disliked: I know this is somewhat out of the owners hands but I have to say the bugs. Our tent was absolutely covered and they were getting inside too. So much so that I ended up sleeping in the car. I would suggest a better lighting system of some-kind to prevent the bugs from people’s tents. Another factor, which isn’t necessarily down to the owner, but more so the messy campsite users… but they left the toilets in such a state. Only adding this point in to suggest check ups more regularly in the toilets. If the bug situation was sorted i would definitely suggest upping the price of stay. :)

Electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The site is great, we had a tent and the field was perfect. There are 4 shower rooms and a separate WC with 2 toilets. Site was clean. Pub on site is great, food was delicious. Great location for what we had planned (zipworld) Overall cannot complain and will be back again x

Disliked: Nothing... Few negative reviews about only 2 toilets/showers (this is the new block) opposite the pod/cabin there are a further 2 showers and 4 toilets. Clearly people didn't look!

Local attractions

Active sorts can soon be out on hiking jaunts from Betws-y-Coed (15 minutes’ drive), or adventures on trails in Gwydir Forest Park (20 minutes). If you’d like to increase the adrenaline levels further, try the artificial surfing wave at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (half an hour), or zipwire over the quarry lake and bounce around on subterranean nets in the former lead mine at Zip World Llechwedd (also half an hour). If you’re keen to mix in some cultural time, explore the rugged relics of Dolwyddelan Castle (25 minutes), or tour the towers and ramparts at medieval Conwy Castle (40 minutes). Nip over the Menai Bridge to the Isle of Anglesey (50 minutes), where you can wander the formal waterfront gardens at National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens (55 minutes) and snoop around the 18th-century mansion. Treat well-behaved kids to sightings of endangered snow leopards and red pandas at the Welsh Mountain Zoo (45 minutes). Round off your day by surprising everyone with afternoon tea at The Riverside Chocolate House in Pentrefoelas (five minutes), where you can gorge on handmade chocs and take some home as Welsh souvenirs.
