Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Lovely flat gravel motorhome pitch with EH and water supply. Nicely spaced pitches. Great dog walking field and lovely path along the river. So quiet with beautiful views all around. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful and even when there was a staff turnaround at reception they knew us by name without having met before. Would definitely come again.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike!

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked: The location and landscape around you is what you are paying for! No more than a 10 minute walk to Beddgelert which has shops, restaurants and souvenir shops.
Very secure site, entrance and exit barrier on the site that recognises your reg.
WiFi at site!
Disliked: Expensive for facilitates, especially in the women’s shower (the drains smelled very bad). They need updating!
Majority of the pitches we saw were not sheltered, so if you have a roof tent like ourselves you are very vulnerable to the bad weather! (I imagine if you specified you wanted a more sheltered pitch they would place you in one).

Electric grass campervan or tent pitch
Liked: The location is very close to beddgelert and the copper mine, but also in a remote area & has beautiful scenery.
The staff on site ensured the noise rule was followed.
Disliked: The toilets and showers are quite dated. I expected something a little nicer for the price, but they were still useable.
