This quiet, well-kept site boasts a friendly host & clean facilities w/ great hot water. Ideal for exploring Snowdonia & North Wales, near pubs & trails. Flat, spacious pitches. Communal fire pit's a hit, though showers can be busy in peak times.

Great stay and campsite
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Good location and good pitches. Friendly host. Clean toilets and facilities.
Disliked Communal fire pit and BBQ. Terrible smell from what seemed like a sewage drain right next to pitch.

From the manager: Hi Katerina
Thank you for your review.
We have a communal firepit due to people over the years burning the grass.
We do allow own BBQs as long as off the grass.

Excellent site with clean facilities & nice big spaced out pitches
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great location for accessing either Snowdon ranger or Llanberis path. Host was very friendly & helpful. No electric pitches but toilet, shower & washing up facilities were brilliant with a better hot water system than at home! Has everything you could need, nice quiet welcoming atmosphere.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Perfect back to basics flat campsite. Ideally located giving great access to all of North Wales and Snowdonia National Park.
After reading previous reviews the facilities were exactly as expected. Whilst they are basic they’re kept clean and tidy managed by the very friendly and welcoming host.
Disliked Nothing, ideal for my needs whilst touring around Wales on my motorcycle.

Spacious green area, ample parking, pub down the road
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The campsite was great and spacious and had enough facilities to accommodate everyone. The lady hosting us was so incredibly kind and even helped us when we had trouble with our tents. We came to have a reunion in our friendship group and this was the perfect setting for us.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Good facilities lovely location with beautiful scenery very close to Snowdon. Karen is lovely nice small campsite so you can get to know people.
Disliked Thought we could all have our own fires but theres a communal pit which was still good to get to know other campers.

From the manager: Thanks Harvey for your review.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.
We provided the communal fire pit as people were burning the grass with individual fires.
Glad you see the benefit of it though, as it's nice to get to know people and you get a good view from it too.😊
