What customers say
This well-maintained campsite offers stunning mountain views and a peaceful atmosphere, with many guests highlighting the beautiful location and proximity to Beddgelert village via a lovely riverside walk. Pitches are generally spacious, and facilities are clean and well-kept, though some mention them as dated. Staff are consistently praised for being friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The site is ideal for walkers, with numerous trails accessible directly from the grounds. WiFi is available, though phone signal is poor. Some guests noted midges, and a few found the price high, but overall, visitors expressed a strong desire to return.

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Loved our first camping trip 3 nights at Cae du with two young children. Amazing views and so much space. The family zone and picnic areas were perfect for our kids to play and we especially liked being able to go on fun walks straight from the campsite and along the river without having to drive. Lovely little playground and cafe for ice cream and coffee at sygun mine only a short walk away and beddgerlet village another lovely short walk from the campsite. Facilities were all close by and well maintained. We will definitely come back and explore some more :) thanks
Disliked As first time campers we couldn’t fault the place, maybe in the family zone area a some playground equipment would be fun for the kids.
