Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Fantastic scenery surrounded by mountains, we loved how there was plenty of space for everyone and just a short walk to Beddgelert.

Perfect!!! ♥️
Powered concrete and grass motorhome site
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.

One of the best campsites we have ever been to!
Powered concrete and grass motorhome site
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!

Good site, well maintained, friendly and efficient, but overpriced
Powered concrete and grass motorhome site
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.
