Non-electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: Loved the site.. Iv been searching hi and low for a site close to snowdon.. this ticks all the boxes.. on arrival I was confronted by a friendly group of staff.. pitch was great for my tent box.. the facilities are great.. spacious showers. Hot water.. wash area. They’re a river that runs along the site. So if you’re lucky enough to be pitched there then you’ll be happy.. the site as a villiage like 5 min walk beddgelert itself.. it also as a few pubs.. visiting gelert himself.l is nice and a must.. you are also next to sygun copper mine..your 5 mins either way to snowdon walks.. the wakins and rhydd Ddu… 10 mins from llanberis and caornarfon..I will be visiting and it being my go to site for when I’m at snowdon.. things I can’t comment on. Is it being child friendly.. I didn’t bring mine.. there was kids there. And I didn’t hear of any issues.. the Wi-Fi I didn’t use.. as I’m on holiday. So it doesn’t bother me..

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: We were treated with a friendly welcomed , and an informative run down of all information needed to make the most of the experience. We were provided with a really nice area to pitch, with stunning views from all areas of the camp! Facilities clearly are kept super cleaned , and a lot of water points! The fellow campers also were super friendly, and the general atmosphere was super peaceful. We were so chuffed with what we got from the experience, at a really reasonable price! We will definitely be returning!

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch (water hook-up)
Liked: So much space for us on our hard standing pitch. Fantastic location. Quiet and peaceful when we visited. 15 mins walk max to the town. Beautiful picnic areas. Many hikes from the site. Nice facilities.
Disliked: NOTHING. However could get very busy in peak times as there are so many pitches marked out. A later checkout and an off lead dog playing area would be a fantastic addition.

Liked: Great location, easy walk into Beddgelert, where there are lots of good places to eat and drink. Fabulous bus service too. Good campsite facilities. Showers were really clean, strong and hot. Friendly staff.
Disliked: Only thing was there was work going on to the site during our stay - but this will make the site better in the future so we didn’t mind

Electric grass tent or campervan pitch
Liked: We had an amazing stay. The staff are approachable, friendly, and knowledgeable. The facilities are 10/10, they are well-kept, clean, and comfortable to use. The WiFi is also great. There is plenty to do in the local area, aside from just hiking Snowdon. In terms of hiking Snowdon, it is a short drive away and there is good public transport taking you to the start point of any of the routes. We will definitely be back here soon.

Liked: The pitch space was amazing, lots of space and very private. Staff are very friendly and always on hand. The showers are very clean, with lovely hot water. It’s in a beautiful spot, a very short walk to Beddgelert, great places to eat and drink. We had a fab weekend and will be back. This campsite is well kept and one of the best we have stayed on.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (backpacker, no cars)
Liked: Location was spectacular, ground was ok for BP as weather had been grim, can't wait to return in better conditions. Little walk to the village which is very picturesque and has some great places to eat, cafe, gift shop well worth a visit. Short drive to Watkins path and great caffi on route
Disliked: Initially not being able to get hold of staff late on.. But then heard they are in a static on site! Wish I had know before hand as signal is poor even with their Wi-Fi
