Meadow primitive grass tent campsite (large)

Liked: Big camp fire, showers spacious and lovely and warm with soaps and shampoo provided. Nice and quiet. Tranquil. Able to rent a camp fire for your pitch. Loved the view with surrounding mountains. Loved Dottie the dog. If you needed it there is access to a fridge in the games room which is also great if you have children to entertain or it's raining.

Disliked: Not keen on the toilets. They are very clean and modern with disinfecting spray and plenty of loo roll provided but as they are compost toilets they did have an unpleasant odour in between the sawdusting. You have to use wheelbarrows to get to your pitch which can be a faff but as there is a little Marsh between the car park and the meadow this is a great tool to be provided with from the owner. None of which is enough to put me off. The overall stay was amazing and will return again.

Liked: Had a great weekend at Cae Lal, was our first time staying and from booking to checking in to checking out everyone was so friendly and lovely. Great location with a lovely owner (and cute dogs!) would definitely stay again! Showers are great and lovely touch that everything is so eco friendly!

Meadow primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The meadow field is beautiful, plenty of space between pitches. The bathroom, shower area is the nicest we have seen at a campsite. The shed with the toys and games for kids is perfect when the weather is not so great. Bonus that there are fridge freezers, kitchen appliances also. Kids absolutely loved Dotty the dog.

Liked: Friendly owner, good facilities, decorated with taste and style, there's all you need there. Close to must see places

Disliked: The fact that you have to leave your car at the car park and move all your stuff to the campsite but it's just because of the type of camping. There are wheelbarrow to help you move the stuff though

Liked: I was most impressed with Car Lal facilities. The showers had eco champú, conditioner and gel provided. All the installations were very nicely designed. It was like walking in a enchanted forest! I'll definitely come back! The owner and workers are super friendly! Location is great, 25min to the mountains and just few minutes to the sea.

Local attractions

Kick off your escape with a bit of adrenaline, which is exactly what you get on the 500-foot zipwire that hangs over the slate quarry at Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (20 minutes’ drive). The climbing centre in Caernarfon (15 minutes) will add to the heights-themed activities, except you might first get carried away nosing around the town’s 13th-century castle. Slate was once a booming industry around here, which is something you’ll get to know at the National Slate Museum in Llanberis (15 minutes). Llanberis and the former slate quarrying village of Bethesda (15 minutes) are both gateways into the national park… but first, Llanberis has heritage trails for you to tackle before the big national park paths (or a steam train if you don’t fancy walking just yet). When it comes to gorgeous coastal spots, first on your list should be Bangor (10 minutes’ drive), with its pleasure pier, and Anglesey’s beaches and coastal paths (10 minutes).
