Electric grass and gravel motorhome pitch
Liked: Stunning views! Location, location, location - very close to Beddgelert, only 30 min drive to Betws-y-Coed etc. Fantastic walks right from the campsite. Aberglaslyn, Llyn Dinas and Cwm Bychn are stunning! Site was kept very clean, there is everything you need - even communal area where you can sit under roof, charge your electricals and find information about local walks (great idea with displaying them on the wall!) and attractions. And best of all - there is well working wifi! Very useful for checking the weather or searching information about local area. We will definitely be back to this site! It is not cheap, but worth the price you pay for it!
Disliked: These are not something that put us off, more of some things to note: - the pitch we were on was hard grass motorhome pitch and it had extremely hard ground - all our extra thick, rock pegs have bended on putting our awning up and now we need to replace them...(we understand that this was motorhome pitch so it has to be reinforced, so this is a warning to others not a criticism towards campsite). - electric points were shared across 3 or 4 pitches and our ehu cable only just reached it - make sure to take extra long cable with you just in case! - Last thing is that drinking water taps are quite low on the ground, so not very comfortable to fill multiple bottles/ vessels - maybe something to improve?
