What customers say

Superb Snowdonia location with mountain views, great for hikers. Staff are friendly & helpful. Good value, with decent basic facilities incl. a drying room. Hilly terrain means some pitches aren't flat. Showers had mixed reviews on cleanliness/payment. Close to Llanberis & Snowdon paths.

Skylar M.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked We had such a lovely stay at this campsite in Llanberis! It’s a really beautiful spot, peaceful and scenic, with amazing views all around. Check-in was easy and the people working at were genuinely friendly and welcoming.

The bathrooms were always clean, and we never had to wait for a shower, which is such a bonus. There’s also a little room next to reception with a kettle, plugs, and a washer/dryer—super handy to have, especially if you’re camping for a few days.

My boyfriend and I picked a spot at the very top of the campsite, right by the rock wall. It was really private and quiet, which we loved. Just a heads-up: not all of the pitches are flat, so definitely check the ground before you pitch your tent, unless you enjoy rolling around on a slant, haha.

Getting to the top of the site is a bit of a climb, it’s a good walk uphill, especially if you're going back and forth from town. But honestly, it’s a nice little incline and you get to walk past sheep on the way up, which adds to the charm.

It’s only about a 10-minute walk to town and the pubs, which made everything feel super convenient. The whole place had such a relaxed and welcoming vibe. I’d absolutely camp here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful stay close to nature with easy access to town.

Disliked I did try to get in touch with the site before our trip to see if I could switch the dates of our booking, but unfortunately never got a response, despite emailing and calling multiple times. That was a bit frustrating and meant I ended up having to book and pay for new dates. It didn’t ruin the trip by any means, but better communication would’ve been good.
That said, I would still happily camp here again. The views, the vibe, and the overall setup make it a great choice for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in a scenic part of Wales.

Liked Beautiful location. Friendly wholesome atmosphere.

Disliked Just communication. We had questions so I emailed and called with no answers. Not a massive issue but would’ve been handy to have the info we needed before arrival.

Local attractions

If you want to balance your outdoorsy pursuit with a bit of history, head to Caernarfon (20 minutes’ drive), where a fortress built by Edward I in the late 13th century sits where the river Seiont flows into the Menai Strait. Across the Seiont is a large green area with a skatepark and a waterfront path. Lined with independent kiosks, Garth Pier in Bangor (half an hour) stretches halfway across the Menai Strait, making the island of Anglesey seem so close you could almost touch it. There are more views of Anglesey from the Roman Camp, an area of woodland and lawns at the top of a hill overlooking the city. Those who want more thrills besides summiting Yr Wyddfa should visit Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (half an hour), where they can take a vertiginous flight across the lake of a disused quarry on what is said to be the world’s fastest zipwire. If you’re brave enough to keep your eyes open, you might catch a glimpse of the Welsh coastline while you’re in mid-air.
