The campsite entrance is on the A498. In summer Sherpa buses drive past the campsite from Caernarfon to Pen y Pass (S4) or from Porthmadog to Betws y Coed (S97). The nearest train station is Betws y Coed, so you can get a bus from there. Trains also serve Bangor and Porthmadog. From Bangor you will need two connections, via Caernarfon, Llanberis then the Sherpa bus to Pen y Pass and the campsite.
