Riverside Camping

Liked Everything! We stayed in one of the cabans, it was stunning. Every single member of staff we met were really friendly. The weather wasn’t the best so we were grateful for the games room. The site is super clean and really well kept. Def my new fave place and our cockapoo Wilbur was spoilt rotten by the staff! We had everything we needed and more thankyou to Catherine and Adam and all the team we will def be back!

Disliked Going home!

From the manager: Hi Sarah
Thankyou so much for your lovely review.I know its wrong to have a favourite glamping dog but Wilbur is definitely our face of Caban Derw! I maybe cockapoo biased but we all thought he was gorgeous.
So glad you enjoyed your glamping stay- it was the right place to be over a wet Easter with the fire going & the hot tub
We look forwards to welcoming you again soon!
Kind regards
Catherine, Adam, Sue & Lisa

Liked Campsite was clean and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The signposting was clear and we had a beautiful spot right by the river. Child and family friendly very calm and peaceful we will definitely be returning.

Liked Facilities were clean throughout and in plenty. Pitches had loads of room due to all cars having to stay on the car park for the stay, it makes the site much safer for children running around. The river and park are great and the location is close to a lot of villages.

Disliked Nothing

Liked Stunning campsite in a beautiful location with a river (Aaron Seiont I think) running through/around. The Mill Bistro was a gem - superb food and lovely, friendly staff. Was great to be able to speak Welsh all weekend. Particular thanks to the polite young lad who checked us in and showed us to our plot - really helpful and knowledgable about the site.

Amenities were good - enough toilets and we didn’t have to wait for showers even though there were only two. Playground was lovely for the children, campsite was beautiful and really well maintained. Loved hearing owls hooting at night!

Having the cars parked away from the camping area was great and gave everybody more space, as well as feeling safer. Great idea! We didn’t use the seats and communal BBQ but will next time, it looked well set out.

In terms of location it is a short drive to Caernarfon, Llanberis, or Beddgelert. There are great days out for families locally (Greenwood etc.), and Fron Goch Garden Centre is well worth a visit for shopping or great food.

Disliked The only feedback I’d give was to perhaps put signs in the toilet cubicles reminding people that:
a) they can flush toilet paper (I suspect some was put in the bins due to the tissues and smell in some)
b) to sit on the toilet when using it (in some countries they use ‘squat’ toilets and not everybody who visits the UK realises that you can sit on ours!), and
c) to wipe the seats after use.

I should add that the cleaners were in there twice a day and the facilities were really clean, it’s just that not all people are tidy when using them so perhaps signage would help!

Liked Amazing riverside location and love that you are allowed to swim/play in the river and it’s not just pretty to look at.

The site itself is well looked after with SO much to explore and do for kids which we loved! We enjoyed going off into the woods to look at the dens and the on site park is good quality compared to some others we’ve seen.

Disliked The fact the on site restaurant isn’t open during the week so we couldn’t use it our whole trip (stayed late Sunday - Thursday) although we are aware this is not the same business as the camp site, still a disappointment on arrival to find that out.

Shower facilities could be cleaner and updated on our side of the site. The cleaner wasn’t using proper equipment to mop, she had a broom with a tea towel attached… ? The ones under the restaurant are better quality but busier because of that reason.

Liked The site was clean, the caban was better than we expected, spacious and comfortable. The kids loved the hidey bed.
Hot tub was fantastic.

Disliked The shop onsite wasn't stocked well. We struggled to get milk.

Liked What a great site & hidden away in a gem of a location. Very nicely laid out & adequately sized Motorhome pitches. Loo’s good as expected. We like it quiet & even though there were predominantly families with children using the huge separate tent pitches…no issues. I would not hesitate bringing our grandchildren here. Loads to do for children. I’m sure they would disregard their phones & indulge in the outdoors. The river is superb & gives a relaxed feel. Refreshing to see the kids enjoying themselves so much.
The Bistro is very nicely set out with very pleasant staff & good food.
Location is great for visiting many coastal attractions.
