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.

Clare M.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked The views!!! Simply stunning!
The pitch sizes were enormous!
The space -despite it being a large camp site you were miles away from you neighbours.
A quick and efficient check in process.
The location is perfect, the riverside walk, the pond and the short but beautiful walk into Beddgelert were amazing.

Disliked Two shower/ toilet blocks with only three showers each (on such a large site) meant you had to be up and at em’ to get a shower!
Unfortunately the weather was dire - but we’ll definately be back!

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Beautiful location, lovely clean site! Best site we have stayed at yet. Spacious plots, we went with a family member and requested to be next to each other which they did without hesitation and also gave us a lovely couple of plots that were quite private! Facilities were nice and clean, and overall loved it! Unfortunately you can’t control Mother Nature and we hit a bad weekend for weather but managed a walk into Beddgelert with the kids and then chippy tea as too wind and wet outside to cook! Made the most of it and will defiantly be coming back. Loved it!

Disliked Nothing! Would prefer a little more lighting for when walking to the toilet blocks, a torch works great but very dark!

CHRISTOPHER R.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful views and really nice site. Our pitches were huge and there was also plenty of free space around the camp for the kids to play in. Toilets and showers were clean and the water was hot. What more could you ask. I also enjoyed the quiet, 9:30 quiet time suits us. Pleasant walk into Beddgelert off the road

Convenient for Beddgelert with level potches but too expensive.

Wayne J.

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked The after hours procedures were well communicated and all went smoothly with a clear map of where to pitch left in a drop box.
The pitch was flat and the facilities were well maintained.
Just a short 15min walk into Beddgelert on the flat and away from the road.

Disliked It was over priced - it being similar to the Forest Holidays campsite nearby which for similar money offers a well stocked shop and opportunity to order food in.

Carol B.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Lovely location with off road walk into the village of Beddgerlert. Electric & water by each pitch. Good position for activities such as hiking, kayaking, swimming and climbing.
Positioned at the foothills of Snowden.

Disliked The facilities adequate but could do with updating.
Some form of low level lighting such as lights on electric posts as pitch black at night would be helpful.

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch

Liked Very calm and quiet site with good facilities. We were able to move our pitch when we discovered it was too bumpy for a tent without any difficulty. We liked the outdoor covered cooking area and indoor seating for backpackers.

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.
