General

Spacious site a few minutes' drive from the Snowdonia mountains
A short drive from the coast
Covered picnic area, communal bbq, den building and woodland dog walk

This Snowdonia site is a beaut. And so say the generations who've returned to Riverside Camping near Caernarfon in Gywnedd season after season: you'd be hard pressed to pin down just the one reason why, but it'd probably have something to do with peaceful riverside pitches among lots of open space.

And the friendly helpful team, and the many little additions like free wifi, a splendidly-sized undercover picnic area, a volleyball and badminton court, and mini grass football pitch… yes, that's several reasons, but after all, this site is a beaut...

Riverside Camping is in a sheltered loop of the River Seiont that's proved most suitable for fishing, birdwatching, boating and paddling, surrounded by woodland for yet more holiday adventures (short woodland dog walks are accessible on the site).

Apart from its riverside location, the site's setting is also a beaut: a few minutes' drive from the mountains of Snowdonia, two miles from mighty Caernarfon and less than six from the coast. Steel-blooded campers also use Riverside as a base for the Slateman Triathlon and Snowdon Race in Llanberis five miles away, or for mountain biking, watersports and many other heady north Wales activities in the region.

Other thoughtful touches (there are many) are the kids' playground in the middle of the site; pocket-money toys (and sweets, drinks, ice cream and tourist info) in reception; a mini playhouse and a colouring table for the kids; a launderette and a freezer for ice packs; and undercover table tennis and pool to partake of on rainy days. The hot showers on site are free and include family and disabled facilities.

Riverside Camping also has an onsite bistro, The Mill, serving meals using local ingredients, light lunches, snacks, wine, local ales and Welsh breakfasts including laver bread to fuel stomachs before a hike up/race down the nearest mountain. The nearest shop is about a mile away and plenty of pubs, takeaways and restaurants are at nearby Caernarfon.

Dogs are welcome at Riverside, as are group bookings – time to gather your crew for a Welsh riverside stay and a hike to the Snowdon summit…?

Liked:

The owners and staff at this site were extremely helpful & friendly. Made to feel very welcome and good knowledge of the local area.

The facilities were spotless, plenty of hot water and well maintained.

Great location, town not too far away and Indian & Chip shop close by. Beautiful river running through the site and lovely woodland walks for the dog. Would also be ideal for families due to the play areas and grass areas for football/ball games.

Fishing tickets available on site and well stocked shop.

Will definitely be visiting again, hopefully with family.

Disliked:

The only minor criticism about this site is the hand drier in the ladies was not great. Apart from that we couldn't find fault.

Liked:	The campsite was very sheltered, surrounded by trees, also by the river, Good clean facilities, near to Cearnarfan, other towns NT properties and beach.
Disliked:	We where at the bottom of the campsite and after rain it was very boggy. Everyone had to leave there cars in the car park, but would still go there again

Great site with lovely facilities! 23/08/2017

Recommend to friends Visit again

Liked:	Lovely site. We have visited twice. The facilities are fantastic. The family shower room is brilliant when you have little ones and makes a big difference. There is a play house for younger children which is covered and great during a down pour. Quiet during the night. We have thoroughly enjoyed both visits and hope to return.
Disliked:	The only things we disliked is that the pitches by the river aren't level, both times we have had 'puddles' around the tent and the grass doesn't seem to drain off very well. Also trying to get hold of anyone by phone at the site before visiting requires a lot of patience!

Local attractions

There's simply stacks to do around here as well as Snowdonia mountains walks and climbs, like the beaches and coastline of the (also beaut) Isle of Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula, nature spotting, getting active on land or water, or investigating centuries' worth of Welsh history at nearby castles, museums and mines.

The best known attraction of ancient and royal Caernarfon a couple of miles from Riverside Camping is ancient and strapping Caernarfon Castle, but you should/must also make time for its old and lovely pubs or for crabbing from the harbour walls; wherever you end up in this scenic city, take many photos.

North Wales is steam railway country, so if you don't fancy getting to Snowdon's summit (Copa'r Wyddfa) under your own steam, take the Snowdon Mountain Railway to the peak instead from its base at Llanberis.
The Welsh Highland Railway puffs the 25 miles from Caernarfon to Porthmadog (you should make many pub pitstops along the way) and the Llanberis Lake Railway on Tomos Bach is a good option for younger children.

Other faves of the Riverside Camping team are the newly opened Beacon Climbing Centre two minutes' drive away; Colwyn Bay Zoo and RSPB Conwy; Anglesey Sea Zoo; the free Llanberis Slate Museum and the leafy expanse of Greenwood Forest Park.
