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, an undercover picnic area, a volleyball and badminton court, and a 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, and is surrounded by woodland for yet more holiday adventures (short woodland dog walks are accessible on the site). The site's setting is tiptop: a few minutes' drive from the mountains of Snowdonia, two miles from Caernarfon and less than six from the coast. Steely-blooded campers also use Riverside as a base for the Slateman Triathlon and Snowdon Race in Llanberis five miles away. Other thoughtful touches (there are many) are the kids' playground; pocket-money toys (and sweets, drinks, ice cream and tourist info) in reception; a mini playhouse and a colouring table, 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 on-site bistro, The Mill, serving meals using local ingredients, light lunches, snacks, wine, local ales and Welsh breakfasts including laver bread. The nearest shop is about a mile away and plenty of pubs, takeaways and restaurants are at nearby Caernarfon.
