Absolutely stunning little campsite. Could not fault it in any way. Everything was top notch and spotlessly clean. Nathan, the site owner, was super friendly and gave us lots of helpful tips. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

A campsite which has been in the family for over 25 years and now the younger generation are running it. The site is easy to find using satnav, the grounds are beautifully kept and they have just installed a new reception area, which blends into the surroundings. The shower block is immaculate and smells divine. Huge dog walking field is a bonus. If you enjoy outdoor activities this is close to so many, Dinorwig Quarry, The Slate Museum, Yr Wyddfa and of course the fastest zipwire in the world! Not too far away is Black Rock Sands, a beautiful beach. Nathan was on hand for any queries and was most helpful. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Things to do on site and in the Caernarfon area
The foothills of Snowdon are the perfect place to get away from it all and reconnect with nature. You can get to the National Park within ten minutes, great for those looking for beautiful walks or cycling routes.
Caernarfon town is also just a ten minute drive away with plenty to keep you busy. Caernarfon Castle is one of the area's most famous landmarks, nestled on the banks of the River Seiont. The 700 year old fortress is full of fascinating exhibitions and turrets for you to explore.
The Llanberis Lake Railway is also just a ten minute drive away, a great way to see the beautiful Welsh landscapes from a different perspective. Hop on the little steam train and take a journey alongside Lake Padarn and through the beautiful countryside.
Other nearby attractions include:
- Beacon Climbing Centre (5 minutes)
- National Slate Museum (10 minutes)
- GreenWood Family Park (10 minutes)
- Pili Palas Nature World (15 minutes)
- Anglesey Sea Zoo (25 minutes)
