Would stay again
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Loved the family feel and the space we had. Fab addition having the pub/restaurant on site.
Disliked Bathroom areas weren’t that clean and the warden cleared our kids from the park at 9pm rather than the advertised 10pm. Also, no electric points at all as expected in the bathroom area. Hairdryer there didn’t even work.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked We had an amazing time at Riverside Camping! The playground in the center was perfect, allowing us to watch our kids play and make new friends while we relaxed. The river was ideal for dog walks and fun water activities for the kids—pure joy!
The on-site restaurant was cozy, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Renting a firepit for just £4 added to our evenings, and paying for electricity was simple and affordable—heated blankets and phone chargers ran all night for just 33 pence!
Without a doubt, we’ll be coming back. Riverside Camping offers the perfect mix of nature, fun, and relaxation. Highly recommended!

Great site with clean facilities, friendly staff and level pitches.
Electric optional hardstanding touring pitch (deluxe, TV aerial)
Liked It was extremely quiet when we visited (Sunday/Monday) and we were allocated a pitch next to the river. Pitches were large and we had metered electric and water on our pitch. Toilets and showers were clean.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Disliked The onsite bistro/restaurant was shut from 5pm on Sunday till Wednesday so we took a bus into Caernarfon to eat on Monday.

Grounds are beautifully kept, it feels like you’ve arrived on holiday.
Electric optional hardstanding campervan pitch (maximum 6 metres)
Liked Greeting immediately and everything explained. We arrived on a Sunday for just one night and had the whole of the river side field to ourselves. Gorgeous setting next to the river, a quiet site for us but l imagine it gets fully booked peak season. Showers included are red hot and clean. We had a short but lovely stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back and highly recommend. The grounds are beautifully kept and it feels like you’ve arrived on holiday. Worth the money.
Disliked Restaurant closed early so missed Sunday lunch but sure its opening hours reflected the number of people on site.
