Liked No staff to check in with until after 6pm so a bit confusing trying to find a pitch. The bar is welcoming. Dogs are allowed on one side and the staff are friendly. The T10 bus to Betswycoed is good value. It runs every 2 hours, the stop is at the junction to the A5

Disliked Pitches oo close together This is not a cheap site. The shower / toilet facilities are very poor. There is no TV signal and no WIFI

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Actually quite picturesque on the higher tent pitch.
Good price point if you're just passing through.

Disliked Unfortunately we would not return or recommend.
Upon arrival there's no clear signage or booking process, its very much fend for yourself!
Parking can get busy and the first impressions upon arrival was overflowing bins.
The bar is slow service and extremely basic, although staff were polite.
Unfortunately the 11pm 'noise curfew' is not enforced and there's no staff around to monitor, meaning that if you're unlucky like us, your neighbours will still be drinking and shouting at 2am.
The toilet/showers facilities rely heavily on other guest cleaning up after themselves, which unfortunately for us again, was not adhered to by other site visitors.
While the site itself is located off the main road, there is still quite a bit of traffic noise, meaning both nights there were not particularly restful.

Liked Great location, lovely pub / restaurant on site basic but adequate facilities. Friendly and welcoming staff

Disliked Not a dislike really but I do prefer it when you are shown to your pitch by a site staff member so there is no confusion with other campers when they arrive.

Local attractions

Active sorts can soon be out on hiking jaunts from Betws-y-Coed (15 minutes’ drive), or adventures on trails in Gwydir Forest Park (20 minutes). If you’d like to increase the adrenaline levels further, try the artificial surfing wave at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (half an hour), or zipwire over the quarry lake and bounce around on subterranean nets in the former lead mine at Zip World Llechwedd (also half an hour). If you’re keen to mix in some cultural time, explore the rugged relics of Dolwyddelan Castle (25 minutes), or tour the towers and ramparts at medieval Conwy Castle (40 minutes). Nip over the Menai Bridge to the Isle of Anglesey (50 minutes), where you can wander the formal waterfront gardens at National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens (55 minutes) and snoop around the 18th-century mansion. Treat well-behaved kids to sightings of endangered snow leopards and red pandas at the Welsh Mountain Zoo (45 minutes). Round off your day by surprising everyone with afternoon tea at The Riverside Chocolate House in Pentrefoelas (five minutes), where you can gorge on handmade chocs and take some home as Welsh souvenirs.
