Friendly Eryri/Snowdonia site on the banks of the River Glaslyn
Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon Watkin Path five minutes’ drive away
Beddgelert’s cafés, pubs and railway station less than a mile away

What a gorgeous spot for a break in the fresh air of Eryri/Snowdonia National Park. With spectacular mountain views, Cae Du Campsite sits on the banks of the River Glaslyn less than a mile from pretty Beddgelert, a hub for walking trails with several pubs, cafés and craft shops. The village is also a stop on the narrow-gauge Welsh Mountain Railway running between Porthmadog and Caernarfon. What’s more, Yr Wyddfa/Mount Snowdon is just up the road, it’s five minutes’ drive to the Watkin Path trailhead and you’ll pass spectacular Llyn Dinas lake (wild swim anyone?) on the way. Tired after whichever outing you chose? There’s plenty of space to relax back at the park, and you should hopefully sleep well in these peaceful surroundings. A washing-up area, launderette and bathrooms with toilets and showers are on hand to make life comfortable, and you can bring a barbecue or light a campfire to finish your day in traditional camping style. Hire firepits (subject to availability) and buy logs, kindling and firelighters from reception between 9.30am and 5pm. And as the emphasis here is on total relaxation, Cae Du Campsite has a strict rule that music must be turned off and noise kept to a minimum after 9.30pm.

What customers say

This campground offers amazing mountain views and a prime spot, a short walk to Beddgelert village. Spacious, tidy sites and generally clean facilities. Staff are often called friendly and helpful. Many love the quiet vibe, though some find the Wi-Fi spotty. Great for exploring the scenic area and local sights.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked Awesome site. Big and spacious, peaceful,
well maintained, beautiful views and good clean facilities. It’s the perfect spot - feels completely out the way but the village is a beautiful 5 min walk, Porthmadog is 20 mins away and Snowdon around the corner. We absolutely loved it!!

Disliked The washrooms seemed to get cleaned in the morning around the same time everyone was wanting to get ready… but there are two sets of washrooms.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked The staff were friendly and really helpful, the location was stunning with views of the mountains all around, the campsite was very clean and tidy and very well kept. The site was so quiet, especially at night, and dark, which we loved! (bring a torch!)
The walks along the river from the camp site were great and we enjoyed swimming in the lake and visiting the copper mine nearby. Beddgelert is only a 15 minute walk away in the opposite direction, which is well worth a visit. It is only small and quaint, but it has a village shop which sells all your essentials, and several cafes, pubs and gift shops.

Disliked Nothing! We loved everything about this camp site and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked It was an amazing location with fantastic views. It was a huge site and plenty of space. The facilities were excellent and well signposted.

Disliked There were only two shower blocks on the site. There were only 4 male and 4 female showers for such an extensive site. Even after the peak morning hours both my partner and I had to wait for some time to shower. This was my only bugbear. Other comparable sites have been less expensive.

Liked Amazing campsite.
Very peaceful and quiet. Pitches were pretty big and no overcrowding.

Would 100% return.
Ps, amazing, short little walk i to Beddgelert. Pubs, ice scream and takeaway.

Powered grass campervan or tent campsite

Liked Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt. Vor allem das Personal ist mega freundlich, immer gut gelaunt und hilfsbereit.

Lage: Der Platz liegt wundervoll und bietet viel Platz sowie Ruhe zum Entspannen. Beddgelert ist ein wunderhübsches kleines Örtchen mit allem, was man braucht (Lebensmittel, Café, Restaurant). Besonders cool: Einige Wanderrouten gehen direkt beim Platz los und zu den Startpunkten des Snowdon fahren Busse.

Tipp: Die Stromanschlüsse sind an manchen Stellplätzen etwas weit weg, ein langes Kabel ist also von Vorteil. Gegen eine kleine Miete von 5£ pro Nacht kann man vor Ort eine Verlängerung zubuchen.

Local attractions

Families can inspire their kids with a love of nature on a stroll along the Aberglaslyn Gorge straight from the campsite. Seasoned hikers might make for the start of the Watkin Path (five minutes’ drive), one of them more challenging routes up Yr Wyddfa/Mount Snowdon, or search out strenuous scrambles up Glyder Fawr (20 minutes). If you’re looking for more unusual activities, Zip World Llechwedd (35 minutes) will appeal with its zipwires and subterranean golf course. Perhaps that’s a bit too high octane for your offspring? Head for Llyn Dinas (15 minutes’ walk) for wild swimming and paddleboarding, or laze on the beach at Porthmadog (25 minutes). Slip a slice of Eryri heritage into your holiday with a wander around the museum at Sygun Copper Mine (five minutes’ walk, there’s a playground for younger kids too), or enjoy history-tinged meanders around the castles at Criccieth (25 minutes’ drive) and Caernarfon (half an hour). And don’t forget to pay your respects at Gelert’s Grave (15 minutes’ walk), the final resting place of a faithful dog once companion to the medieval Prince Llewelyn the Great.
