Power optional grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked: We had an amazing time at Riverside Camping! The playground in the center was perfect, allowing us to watch our kids play and make new friends while we relaxed. The river was ideal for dog walks and fun water activities for the kids—pure joy!
The on-site restaurant was cozy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Renting a firepit for just £4 added to our evenings, and paying for electricity was simple and affordable—heated blankets and phone chargers ran all night for just 33 pence!
Without a doubt, we’ll be coming back. Riverside Camping offers the perfect mix of nature, fun, and relaxation. Highly recommended!

Power optional concrete slab caravan site (deluxe, TV aerial)
Liked: It was extremely quiet when we visited (Sunday/Monday) and we were allocated a pitch next to the river. Pitches were large and we had metered electric and water on our pitch. Toilets and showers were clean.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Disliked: The onsite bistro/restaurant was shut from 5pm on Sunday till Wednesday so we took a bus into Caernarfon to eat on Monday.

Power optional concrete slab campervan site (maximum 6 metres)
Liked: Greeting immediately and everything explained. We arrived on a Sunday for just one night and had the whole of the river side field to ourselves. Gorgeous setting next to the river, a quiet site for us but l imagine it gets fully booked peak season. Showers included are red hot and clean. We had a short but lovely stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back and highly recommend. The grounds are beautifully kept and it feels like you’ve arrived on holiday. Worth the money.
Disliked: Restaurant closed early so missed Sunday lunch but sure its opening hours reflected the number of people on site.
