A lovely campsite with plenty of space, checking in was easy and informative, staff were very friendly! Little games area where we enjoyed a couple of games of pool. A nice field at the back to walk the dogs. Definitely visiting again this summer.

Unfortunately, we did not have the best stay. We only stayed one night. The family next to us were noisy and inconsiderate. I feel this site is best suited to families rather than couples. The part of the site we were pitched on was a little bit unkept. Other parts looked very well looked after.

Lovely spacious site

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesMay 2024

Wow. We were blown away. First of all, the location; Situated around 10 minutes from Caernarfon, we found that it was perfectly located for all of the attractions within Snowdonia Park, and we ventured mostly along the north coast of Wales taking in Anglesey, Llandudno, and as far south as Betws-y-Coed. The views from the park itself are stunning, as are the walks around the park. The facilities for us were perfect. We were a couple with a dog, so no need for anything other than a shower and a toilet really. We sometimes had a queue, but generally, if that was the case, we'd move to one of the other units, and found we got in to at least one without any wait. The facilities are incredibly well kept. We've been to some campsites and commented on facilities being clean, but they were nothing compared to the standards set by this place. I was thoroughly impressed. Toilets very clean, and stocked - never ran out of the essentials. The showers very clean with HOT WATER - and they were powerful enough too, not weedy and weak like we've experienced elsewhere. The staff were really friendly, from the welcome, to the cleaning staff, to the lad on the grasscutter helping to get some change for the washing machine. Smiling, happy, looks like they enjoy their work - which is really refreshing to see. We will definitely be returning to the site, and have recommended to others already. This is the new standard for us now. Everywhere we visit from now, we will be using this site as the benchmark on how things are done properly.

Clean and tidy site. Not much to do on site. The "games room" is a very basic shed with a few things in for the kids, who soon lost interest. The field we stayed on had 1 toilet block that consisted of one shower and 2 WCs to service approximately 50 people, so no chance in a morning of getting a shower early and getting out. Seemed expensive in regards to value for money.

Great family time

Very clean showers and toilets. We had plenty of space with our tent and it was nice not to be overcrowded. There is an area to play pool and ping pong. Great location for accessing Snowdon / Conwy / Carnaefron. Only negative was we felt a member of staff was a bit rude at check in, but that didn't affect the rest of the stay.

I would 100% recommend this park! The park is dog friendly with loads of space and very clean toilets and showers. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The only minus was that our pitch was located next to the road which is very busy during the day. You can also hear cars at night.

The couple that look after the site are very friendly and helpful. They really look after the place and keep it spotless. Lovely powerful hot showers and good toilets. Nice washing up area, including washing machine and dryer. Beautiful views from the campsite! Loads of lovely places to visit, all a short driving distance from the campsite. Surrounding area with beautiful walks. Would recommend Snowdonia and Conwy. Beddgelert, Betws-y-Coed, Swallow Falls and the Ugly House a must. All in all, North Wales is a breath taking, beautiful and camping friendly place to visit! We will be back :)

We had a lovely few days at this campsite, the wardens were so helpful & friendly. The toilet and shower block were very clean & modern. The extra touch of plants and ceiling heater in the toilets was a real welcome. Only being a 8 minute drive from Caernarfon was really convenient too. I would definitely recommend this campsite.

Beautiful campsite with immaculate toilets and shower block. Having bikes meant the location was great for joining the route 8 cycle ride. The dog walking area could be improved. No gate and overgrown grass in the centre. Fantastic games room.

Site's response

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent camping experience at our site. We're thrilled to hear that you found the campsite beautiful and that our toilets and shower block were immaculate. It's wonderful to know that the location worked well for your cycling activities, especially with the convenience of joining route 8. We appreciate your feedback regarding the dog walking area. Ironically, the gate was taken off so that the tractor could come in to cut and bale the centre of the field! This has now been done and the gate is back on. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our fantastic games room. We aim to provide a variety of amenities for our guests to enjoy their stay to the fullest. Thank you for choosing our campsite, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Your feedback helps us make improvements for a better camping experience.

Lovely campsite. Very clean. Shower block cleaned regularly and up to date. Hot water which was a great bonus! Only criticism would be that the toilets/shower block were not nearby to our pitch. The toilets and shower block were next to the caravans and most of them had electric hook ups, plus their own amenities. It would be have made more sense for the toilet/showers to be near the tent pitches. I would definitely recommend this site though. It was good and the owners/warden helpful and friendly.

Site's response

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay at our campsite. We're delighted to hear that you found it lovely, clean, and that the shower block was modern. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the location of the toilets and shower block in relation to the tent pitches.

Thank you for recommending our campsite, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Your feedback helps us enhance the camping experience for all our guests.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2023

The campsite was very organised. On arrival, we received a map of the campsite, which was very useful when looking for the facilities. The campsite was well lit, with small lights along the footpaths and around the tent pitches. Bathrooms/toilets were very clean. There were multiple water taps dotted around the tent pitches, fire pits on site to rent, recycling area and plenty of berries around to pick. In general, a lovely and tidy campsite perfect for couples, families and friends. The only downside for us was that the non-electric tent pitches are right beside a quite busy road, which meant we were kept awake till late and then woken up very early in the morning.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your stay at the campsite. We're pleased to hear that you found our organisation helpful, from the campsite map to the well-lit pathways and clean facilities.
