Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Stunning backdrop and scenery, close to lakes with access to rivers, walks. Lovely village with pubs and shops nearby
The best site we have been to in North Wales
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Beautiful views extremely clean facilities friendly and very helpful staff.
Dog walks very clear and well maintained , nice clear pitches with a grass area dedicated to the hard area. Water points on each hard ground pitch. Nice and quiet at night a 15min leisurely walk in to town from the site The Internet worked really well
The river was a welcome relief on the hottest of days there are shallow parts to sit in and deeper points to immerse oneself in
Is the best campsite we have stayed in by a country mile and will be coming back
Disliked People don't believe it when you say it is perfect and nothing should change so to come up with a constructive comment
The waste disposal grey and toilet waster could be better positioned near the wash facilities as most sites might have to do all ablutions and tasks in one area and you can wash your hands afterwards but it is nit picking and only one nit!
Going even further in to realms of 'out of the box thinking' a huge change would be an affordable supplies shop selling basics like bread eggs milk etc as the cost in town at the one shop was exorbitant and would have meant we wouldn't have had to leave the site.
Superb, will visit again.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Great pitch and campsite. Plenty of space and facilities. Very close to the village, only a short walk. Quiet, no vehicle noise, just the sound of the river.
Disliked No temperature control on the showers, but not really a problem.
Perfect and the staff are a credit to the site.
Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite
Liked Absolutely loved this site, so spacious, everything kept clean and tidy, Staff were brilliant in every way. This site rates above all others i have stayed in so far. Tiny details like mowing grass paths to make walking around the site to see the river and dog walking areas all kept to a high standard. Site is beautifully set within walking distance of a lovely village Beddgelert for supplies and eateries. An the stunning panoramic surroundings of the Snowdonia mountains are all around you. For anyone looking for walks, whether easy or challenging you can do this straight from the site and is highly recommended. I cannot recommend this site enough..everyone I spoke to around said the same...Thank you Cae Du, an thank you to all your brilliant staff who have made this a must return site, for sure.

Powered grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Site was very large but wasn’t too busy when we stayed. We had a lovely large pitch (U1) with plenty of space and the whole site looked maintained to a high standard. Decent facilities, showers toilets and washing up.
Beautiful 360 views of mountains and walks straight from the site along the river.
Also great walks locally with stunning scenery.
We used the free WiFi which dropped in and out at times but no major issues.
Disliked Showers were push button with no temperature control.
Outstanding location, everything you could want from a campsite.
Powered grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Great views, large pitches with water at each one. Staff super friendly and helpful. 5 min walk into the village. Loads of walks around the campsite.
Fantastic site, worth the money!
Powered grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked The location was amazing, giving fantastic views all round, and also a short, and pretty walk into town. It's situated near so many great areas for outdoor pursuits, and there's even an information centre on site, with maps and leaflets showing nearby walks, places to wild swim, and many other activities!
The pitches are very spacious and well kept, using only decent level ground, instead of trying to cram in as many campers as possible.
Firepit rental is reasonable, and all staff are helpful and friendly.
Disliked The facilities could have been a little cleaner and maybe need a bit of a refresh - but they were by no means bad to use!
