  • Back-to-basics site on the edge of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia)
  • Caernarfon 20 minutes’ drive; Zip World Penrhyn Quarry half an hour
  • Direct access to the Llanberis Path and Snowdown Ranger Path
Looking for a simple site that can be used as a base camp for summiting Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)? Consider Camping in Llanberis, which sits on the north-western fringes of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia). It has direct access to the Llanberis Path and the Snowdon Ranger Path, two routes (of varying difficulties) that lead to the summit of the tallest mountain in Wales. Suited to the outdoorsy type who doesn’t expect any luxury facilities, this is a back-to-basics spot, though there are some amenities, including a toilet block with coin-operated hot showers, a washing-up corner, a fridge, freezer and microwave, and phone-charging plugs. According to demand and the season, there's also sometimes a food van selling breakfast baps in the morning and burgers and loaded fries in the evening (all to be pre-ordered at the reception), plus craft beers. The on-site team is happy to hand over some friendly local knowledge and advice. There’s no need to book or find the car parks for Yr Wyddfa here; in addition, the Pen y Pass paths are also easily accessible by car or a Sherpa bus. Camping in Llanberis is just a 10-minute stroll from Llanberis, where there are shops, restaurants, cafés and attractions like the Llanberis Lake Railway. It’s a 25-minute walk to the Snowdon Mountain Railway station for those who don’t want to make the climb to the summit. It’s also a great base camp for those attending running events like Ultra-Trail Snowdonia and the Snowdon Marathon. The Snowdonia Slate Trail, a long-distance path stretching for 83 miles, is a 15-minute drive away.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Location is great, beautiful scenery

Disliked Sheep poo everywhere, a LOT of litter around the site and generally not very well kept.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Litter on car park after high winds - has been addressed.

Sheep poo - we're next to a farm. Sheep roam the surrounding land and sometimes get on the camping fields, most love this novelty. They're sent back to where they should be as soon as we're aware of them being on the camping fields.

Great site on a hill with amazing views

Liked Great value for money. Basic no frills camp site in a stunning location. Ability to leave the car and explore the local area on foot. Very peaceful and quiet campsite. Great facilities provided. £1 for a shower was very reasonable. As a solo female camper I felt incredibly safe.

Local attractions

If you want to balance your outdoorsy pursuit with a bit of history, head to Caernarfon (20 minutes’ drive), where a fortress built by Edward I in the late 13th century sits where the river Seiont flows into the Menai Strait. Across the Seiont is a large green area with a skatepark and a waterfront path. Lined with independent kiosks, Garth Pier in Bangor (half an hour) stretches halfway across the Menai Strait, making the island of Anglesey seem so close you could almost touch it. There are more views of Anglesey from the Roman Camp, an area of woodland and lawns at the top of a hill overlooking the city. Those who want more thrills besides summiting Yr Wyddfa should visit Zip World Penrhyn Quarry (half an hour), where they can take a vertiginous flight across the lake of a disused quarry on what is said to be the world’s fastest zipwire. If you’re brave enough to keep your eyes open, you might catch a glimpse of the Welsh coastline while you’re in mid-air.
