Riverside Camping: Grass pitches

General

  • Spacious site a few minutes' drive from the Snowdonia mountains
  • A short drive from the coast
  • Covered picnic area, communal bbq, den building and woodland dog walk

This Snowdonia site is a beaut. And so say the generations who've returned to Riverside Camping near Caernarfon in Gywnedd season after season: you'd be hard pressed to pin down just the one reason why, but it'd probably have something to do with peaceful riverside pitches among lots of open space…

And the friendly helpful team, and the many little additions like a wifi service, an undercover picnic area, a volleyball and badminton court, and a mini grass football pitch… yes, that's several reasons, but after all, this site is a beaut.

Riverside Camping is in a sheltered loop of the River Seiont that's proved most suitable for fishing, birdwatching, boating and paddling, and is surrounded by woodland for yet more holiday adventures (short woodland dog walks are accessible on the site).

The site's setting is splendid: a few minutes' drive from the mountains of Snowdonia, two miles from Caernarfon and less than six from the coast. Steely-blooded campers also use Riverside as a base for the Slateman Triathlon and Snowdon Race in Llanberis five miles away.

Other thoughtful touches (there are many) are the playground; pocket-money toys (and sweets, drinks, ice cream and tourist info) in reception; a mini playhouse and a colouring table, and undercover table tennis and pool to partake of on rainy days. The hot showers on site are free and include family and disabled facilities.

Riverside Camping also has an on-site bistro, The Mill, serving meals using local ingredients, light lunches, snacks, wine, local ales and Welsh breakfasts including laver bread. The nearest shop is about a mile away and plenty of pubs, takeaways and restaurants are at nearby Caernarfon.

Directions

Local attractions

There's simply stacks to do around here as well as Snowdonia mountains walks and climbs, like the beaches and coastline of the (also beaut) Isle of Anglesey and the Llŷn Peninsula, nature spotting, getting active on land or water, or investigating centuries' worth of Welsh history at nearby castles, museums and mines.

The best known attraction of ancient and royal Caernarfon, a couple of miles from Riverside Camping, is ancient and strapping Caernarfon Castle, but you should/must also make time for its old and lovely pubs or for crabbing from the harbour walls; wherever you end up in this scenic city, take many photos.

North Wales is steam railway country, so if you don't fancy getting to Snowdon's summit (Copa'r Wyddfa) under your own steam, take the Snowdon Mountain Railway to the peak instead from its base at Llanberis. Alternatively, the Welsh Highland Railway puffs the 25 miles from Caernarfon to Porthmadog; you should make many pub pitstops along the way.
