Outdoorsy back to basics site on the outskirts of Llanberis
Direct access to the Llanberis Path and the Snowdown Ranger Path
Basic facilities including a fridge, freezer, microwave and food van

Looking for a basic camping pitch that can be used as a basecamp for summiting Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)? Enter: Camping in Llanberis, which has direct access to the Llanberis Path and the Snowdon Ranger Path, two routes of varying difficulties which lead to the summit of the tallest mountain in Wales. Suited to the outdoorsy type who doesn’t expect any luxury facilities, this is a back to basics site where the team are happy to hand over some friendly local knowledge and advice. There’s no need to book or find the car parks for Yr Wyddfa here. Plus, the Pen y Pass paths are also easily accessible by car or a Sherpa bus. Camping in Llanberis is just a 10-minute stroll from Llanberis, where there are shops, restaurants, cafés and attractions like the Llanberis Lake Railway. It’s a 25-minute walk from the Snowdon Mountain Railway station for those of you who don’t want to make the dash to the summit. It's also a great basecamp for those attending trail running events like Ultra-Trail Snowdonia and the Snowdon Marathon. The Snowdonia Slate Trail, a long-distance path stretching for 83 miles, is a 15-minute drive away for hikers. Site facilities consist of a toilet block with coin-operated hot showers and washing-up facilities, a fridge, freezer and microwave and phone-charging plugs. There is also a food van on site.

Joanne n. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Great views from the site, toilets were clean, staff friendly and helpful. Llanberis and ranger path within short distance to hike up mount snowden. Site has showers, dryer, freezer, toilets and washing facilities. The reception sells basic things you need during your stay and the town is a 10 min walk for shops, pubs and eateries.

Disliked: There are random spots where people have laid rocks and stones to build fire pits. Just be careful when walking around at night.

DAVID F. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful setting and has basic facilities needed-showers, wash basins, toilets and washing up facilities.

Disliked: No well stocked shop-reception sold cold drinks, tent pegs and mosquito repellent but not much else. There was a burger van but wasn't open during our stay in September. The really bad thing about this campsite was that the toilets were dirty and got dirtier during the week. No attempt was made to clean them although on day four the overflowing bin in the shower block was emptied. Could not recommend this site due to poor cleanliness and hygiene. There were also toilets on the top field but no wash basins and toilets did not flush regularly.

Vanja D. Sept 2024

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: The campsite is at a good distance from the local bus stop, only a 15 min walk up the hill and still feels remote enough. Plenty of space to pitch up your tent. Good place to camp if you want to climb Snowdon and access some of the different trails. A lot of the site isn’t level so expect to slide down in your tent 😂

Disliked: Probably add a few more showers
