Good but not family friendly
Joanne E

It's a lovely little campsite however, I don't think it should be advertised as family friendly. It's more of an adult/elderly suited campsite. There is nothing at all for children, except for an empty field and in order to play with their ball, my 6 year old was expected to walk quite a distance away, which is unsafe for little ones. Most campsites try to provide something for children to do, even if it is a rope swing from a tree, but there really is nothing here and the children wanted to leave on the first day.
Site's response
Hi Joanne :) Thanks for your feedback! I'm sorry your little ones don't appear to have enjoyed themselves, we don't want to strictly prohibit ball games all together, hence the allocated field being ball-safe, but due to the caravans, cars, campervans, motorhomes, we can't allow ball play throughout all the fields unfortunately. We would never prohibit children from playing in the fields, it's merely the ball games we have to monitor as I'm sure you understand. Thanks for taking the time to write for us :) Soph & Dan.
Not a bit of us

Having stayed at so many campsites, it was a strange one to us, you can only pay half before arriving so you have to pay the balance on arrival. Then pre-pay an electric card, fill in a form, food waste bag and a massive list of rules given to you. Not a bad experience, just a very odd one. We've never had to do any of this before. Site was nice and clean and well kept. Showers are small and one push of the button lasts around 7 seconds of water. Overall, nice site, just not for us. Not much around, just a massive housing estate. We did manage to walk to the pub though with darts and pool about 15 mins walk away.
Site's response
Hi Victoria, thank you for letting us know. We take information from guests as a safety precaution, so we always have an idea of who we have on site for obvious reasons, and we like to know if any of our visitors are heading up Snowdon so we know if anybody doesn't return then we need to take appropriate action. Sorry if you found that strange, but it's not something we will stop doing. We find it easier to give everybody a list of rules on arrival to avoid grey areas for anybody. Sorry that was strange to you as well. I'm glad you found one of the local pubs. I think your husband was preparing to have to drive out of the village to find somewhere until I googled the opening times and we gave the directions, so I'm glad you made it there. It's such a shame you didn't enjoy the area, with Llanberis lake, Zipworld, beaches, and of course, Snowdon being so close to us. The 'massive housing estate' that you're referring to, we are in a small residential village, full of lovely local people, but once in the site, we are surrounded by fields, so I'm sorry the area beyond our drive affected your stay to that extent. Perhaps you could email me with some feedback on what you were expecting from our site when you read our listing and decided to book so we can avoid disappointing anyone else? That's okay that we are 'not a bit of you', but thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Happy camping :)
An amazing site that we didn't want to leave

Absolutely loved our time here, the site is very tidy and set in a lovely area. The facilities were great and were always kept clean. The location is great as its close to main towns and shops and also Llanberis where we started our Snowdon hike. There's buses every hour also. The owners are very friendly and helpful. we loved our stay so much that we wanted to book an extra night but they were fully booked, that in itself tells you something. Can't wait to go back again soon.

Thanks so much for writing this review for us! We didn't want you to leave either! We hope you can return next year, ideally with great weather throughout your stay so you don't have a repeat of your windy first night! Hope to see you again soon. Soph & Dan :)

Absolutely gorgeous family-run site! Probably one of the cleanest, well-kept sites we've been to. We stayed over a bank holiday weekend so it was busy, but the facilities were always clean. The owners are lovely and friendly, and we were within a good distance of two of the Zipworld sites, which made it even better for us as we had activities planned at both. Would definitely recommend.

Fab site to stay for Zip World, Snowdon related stuff and gorgeous views. We spent 4 nights and after an 8 hour, drive hosts were there to welcome us as they live onsite. Bathrooms and showers are warm and clean. Pitch was on a slight slope which was troublesome sleeping but doable. Would come again.

My partner and I stayed here for a long weekend. It was the perfect little break. The campsite was very clean; the showers and toilets were immaculate at all times. We had plenty of room to pitch our tent in a nice tucked away spot. Sophie was brilliant, we were able to get in contact with her straight away before our stay. We will definitely be coming back again! We recommend visiting Treath Llanddwyn Beach as there is a lovely walk and lots to see with some history.

Very well kept campsite. Facilities were nice and clean. And a great location too - short drive to plenty of shops/pubs/restaurants and great access to be able to climb Snowdon too! Also great that we could hire a fire pit for £5 a night.

Booked for a night away at short notice to test our setup before a long distance camp away. The site was perfect! Location was great. Just a quick walk away from two local shops, and a couple of pubs too. Only a quick drive from the nearest town. Close to the main road but could not hear or see any passing cars, it was a very peaceful stay. Everyone on site respected the site rules - a bonus, as some sites can be a little noisy after dark. The site was very well maintained and set up. Facilities were great - everything you'd need. Monitored and cleaned well and regularly. The owners were always on hand. Could not fault the site, and I'm sure we will be back for another stay.

We had a really good camping trip staying here! First time but would definitely return and recommend as a great base for north Wales. The facilities are also extremely good and there's a nice, cheap chippy down the road.

Last minute weekend away with my two boys camping. Of course I forgot things, but that wasn't a problem, because nothing was too much trouble for Sophie and Dan, plus the youngest helpers were just as great. A lovely and clean site that is easily accessible to other locations. We will definitely be back!

Had a lovely week staying at Twll Y Clawdd Touring and Camping Park. The site is run very well and the facilities are clean and well maintained. Found the location great for accessing various activities around the area. The host are very welcoming and always around if you had any questions.
