Back-to-basics site on the edge of Eryri National Park (Snowdonia)

Food van on site; access to the Llanberis and Snowdown Ranger paths

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. There is also a food van for easy meals after your efforts. 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.

Liked: We had a fantastic experience this past Bank Holiday weekend. The views were spectacular and the ease of access to where we needed to be was great. We will definitely return.

Disliked: The cost for showers we feel should be included in the fee we already pay to pitch a tent.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: I recently had the pleasure of camping in Llanberis, and it was a fantastic experience. The campsite was well-maintained and offered stunning views of the surrounding mountains and lakes. The facilities were clean and easily accessible, making our stay comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any queries. The location was perfect for exploring Snowdonia National Park, with plenty of hiking trails and outdoor activities nearby. Overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable trip, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic camping getaway.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Great space and gorgeous views. We stayed in the top field so had our own toilet block for the field which wasn’t very busy, no sinks but we had wipes and hand sanitiser. On site small shop for marshmallows and logs, showers and wash room by main reception and separate room round the back with sinks for washing dishes. Ideal for those who like hiking and walking, still great for families as a new space to go with stunning views.

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.
