FHU grass tent campsite
Liked: Located close to a few areas for walks, days out, groceries, etc.
Disliked: For some unfathomable reason a family, with young children and barking dog, were pitched looking directly onto my pitch when there were 2 other pitches free which would have allowed all parties to have space and privacy(???). Pitches have cameras pointed directly onto them (-was bit unsure about this, as site is barrier controlled for security). I would whole heartedly disagree that you get a good amount of space between pitches, and, the road is DEFINITELY not quiet(-and, this was from a pitch well away from road)! This has gone down on my list of sites NOT to return to!

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you appreciated the convenient location for walks, days out, and groceries. We're sorry to hear about your concerns regarding 1: pitch placement -The family had booked after your arrival and had requested that pitch. 2: the cameras- cameras are located throughout the park for the security and peace of mind of our guests. 3: the noise levels- we apologise for the cars passing along the road.

Liked: Very quiet site. Lots of room. Clean. Toilets spotless and very hot free showers. Landscaped with an area enclosed with a pond to walk dogs or just walk. Very welcoming hosts. Secure site. Convenient for Caernarfon only 10 mins away. Highly recommend.

FHU grass tent campsite
Liked: Just returned from 2 night stay 4th-6th June 2024 on plot 56. The site is immaculately clean, plenty of room between plots for all units. There is a handy dog walking area on site which was good to take the dogs round first thing & last thing at night. Location is also perfect, close to Anglesey (it took 40mins to get to Newborough Forest which is one of our faves) and is 13mins from Llanberis (another fave) with spectacular views. Friendly owners greeted with a smile at the barrier and a handy map of how to get to our level, secluded, fully serviced spot for the tent 🏕️ The site is well looked after, It’s a secure gated site with plenty of cameras which made us feel safe. There was table football, pool & ping pong to play and a little library by the bin store area! Toilet and shower facilities consistently clean and showers are powerful & hot! You can see the Snowdonia mountain range from the site 🤩 WiFi is also available for no extra charge & the signal is spot on, we watched England vs France (women) didn’t expect any signal but wish we’d have brought a bigger screen to a have movie night under the stars now 🍿 We will definitely be returning here in the future and have recommended all our family and friends come to stay! Thank you Rhyd y Galen 👏🏼
Disliked: Nothing to dislike here, site is actually perfect 10/10
