Friendly Eryri/Snowdonia site on the banks of the River Glaslyn
Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon Watkin Path five minutes’ drive away
Beddgelert’s cafés, pubs and railway station less than a mile away

What a gorgeous spot for a break in the fresh air of Eryri/Snowdonia National Park. With spectacular mountain views, Cae Du Campsite sits on the banks of the River Glaslyn less than a mile from pretty Beddgelert, a hub for walking trails with several pubs, cafés and craft shops. The village is also a stop on the narrow-gauge Welsh Mountain Railway running between Porthmadog and Caernarfon. What’s more, Yr Wyddfa/Mount Snowdon is just up the road, it’s five minutes’ drive to the Watkin Path trailhead and you’ll pass spectacular Llyn Dinas lake (wild swim anyone?) on the way. Tired after whichever outing you chose? There’s plenty of space to relax back at the park, and you should hopefully sleep well in these peaceful surroundings. A washing-up area, launderette and bathrooms with toilets and showers are on hand to make life comfortable, and you can bring a barbecue or light a campfire to finish your day in traditional camping style. Hire firepits (subject to availability) and buy logs, kindling and firelighters from reception between 9.30am and 5pm. And as the emphasis here is on total relaxation, Cae Du Campsite has a strict rule that music must be turned off and noise kept to a minimum after 9.30pm.

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Beautiful location, clean bathrooms and good pot washing facilities

Disliked No ball games on pitches and the family area for ball games was quite a distance from our site with no goal post and next to open water. Though we enjoyed our stay, our kids really enjoying playing games of football and cricket etc with other kids camping.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Breathtaking views and a beautiful overall setting.
Spacious campervan pitches nicely spread out rather than feeling cramped or overcrowded.
No public lights around the pitches so there was no light pollution when sleeping which was lovely
Two toilet, shower and washing-up blocks, all within comfortable walking distance.
WiFi across the entire site, which was a great bonus.
Walking distance to Beddgelert, a lovely quaint village with pubs, cafés and shops.
Beautiful walk into Beddgelert, with a stunning path and the river running alongside you for most of the way.
Overall, a peaceful and relaxing campsite.
Would definitely stay again and recommend it to others.

Disliked On the second night, one group of campers were extremely loud from around midnight until 2am, disturbing several campers nearby.
The same group then played music from a Bluetooth speaker from around 8am, which was inconsiderate.
It would be beneficial to have a member of staff check the campsite after 11pm/midnight to ensure excessive noise is kept under control.

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Everything.

Disliked Midges, but they are notorious in Snowdonia so can’t be blamed for those!
Possibly introducing more child friendly play equipment on the family area may help to draw kids away from playing ball and noisy games around the camp.

Local attractions

Families can inspire their kids with a love of nature on a stroll along the Aberglaslyn Gorge straight from the campsite. Seasoned hikers might make for the start of the Watkin Path (five minutes’ drive), one of them more challenging routes up Yr Wyddfa/Mount Snowdon, or search out strenuous scrambles up Glyder Fawr (20 minutes). If you’re looking for more unusual activities, Zip World Llechwedd (35 minutes) will appeal with its zipwires and subterranean golf course. Perhaps that’s a bit too high octane for your offspring? Head for Llyn Dinas (15 minutes’ walk) for wild swimming and paddleboarding, or laze on the beach at Porthmadog (25 minutes). Slip a slice of Eryri heritage into your holiday with a wander around the museum at Sygun Copper Mine (five minutes’ walk, there’s a playground for younger kids too), or enjoy history-tinged meanders around the castles at Criccieth (25 minutes’ drive) and Caernarfon (half an hour). And don’t forget to pay your respects at Gelert’s Grave (15 minutes’ walk), the final resting place of a faithful dog once companion to the medieval Prince Llewelyn the Great.
