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.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Perfect site for exploring clean facilities, felt very peaceful
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.

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked We arrived and were advised of the pitch we had been allocated. We made our way and found the site to be water logged as it had been raining heavy the night before.
I asked if they had alternative and we were offered another pitch.
Overall the site is clean and neat and well maintained. Staff very friendly and pleasant. The riverside walk is a lovely bonus especially if you like a nice walk in the evening.
Lots of local walks from the site without the need to take the car, which is a bonus.
Disliked Lack of toilets and showers for such a big site

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Beautifully situated site with great views! The amenities on site was clean having seperate areas including showers, toilets, seperate sinks/sheltered seating for dining and a laundry room including washing machines and dryers if needed. I also noticed that there were regular cleaning and maintenance checks. The staff on site was pleasant, also helpful with recommendations of the local area, there was also an information hub available for guests. The site being close to the watkins path for the hikers who wish to get to the snowdon summit and the Watkins waterfalls, lakeside walks, wild swimming, sygun copper mine and the very pretty Beddgelert village which was all accessible without the use of the car for our family. We was even lucky enough to capture a clear night sky for stargazing.

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked Site was really clean, river runs down the side and around, loads of places to swim/paddle. Or theres a massive lake a short walk away!
Easy walks all around or harder if you choose. Copper mine is just at the end of the site so great walk with a park!
Staff went out of their way to accommodate us as we traveled with family and situated us close by!
Disliked We loved our stay.
Theres nothing much to dislike.
Id just say theres a family field to play on as ball games are not allowed on site. But it would have been great if there was a little
Play area or even goals for the kids.
