Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Really enjoyed our stay at Cae Du - plenty of facilities, so no waiting for a shower or the loo! The grounds were really well looked after and there was always a member of the team around if you had any questions - information centre had loads of info for walks, transport or wild swimming, the camp is also a short walk into the village to catch the Sherpa bus for Snowdon (or you can even walk from camp to the start of the Watkins trail!)
The village is small so stocking up on supplies is worthwhile but there are a couple of nice pubs that you can get lunch/dinner from after a day of exploring the beautiful scenery!
Our first trip to Wales, will definitely be going back and will be stopping at Cae Du when we do
Disliked If I’m being picky, the WiFi was in and out but you don’t go camping to sit on your phone so I wouldn’t even call it a negative!
Recommend to friends Visit again
Overall, splendid site - we’ll be back.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Great site. Well spaced out and identified pitches. 5-10 minutes walk into Beddgelert on a footpath/quiet B road.
Disliked We travel light so, a little on site shop would be good.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Amazing place! Will deffo come again.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked A beautiful beautiful campsite location. The mountains surrounding the area. A nice walk to a wild swimming spot and a great location for people who love to walk and explore!
Disliked Nothing

Pretty site in a great location
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Very pretty well maintained site in easy walking access to the village. The pitches are well spread & the communal facilities clean & well maintained. Chemically waste points are at different points around the site, but a bit remote from some pitches.
Disliked Chemical waste point was a much longer carry than was comfortable for the hard standing pitches where we were placed.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Family friendly site that feels safe and quiet.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cae Du. Stunning mountains all around, friendly and helpful staff, great facilities and endless walks to try. I particularly liked that they had hairdryers in the shower areas! Will definitely be coming back.
Recommend to friends Visit again
Very good site clean and friendly place.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Like all of it. The walks they show on the board are good about 10 of them did about 3 in 4 days. Easy to find if you follow the instructions. Showers good, nice dog walk around camp and a family area
Disliked Recycle bin for tins needs to be bigger as only a small one. But rest is good
