Llys Derwen Caravan & Campsite Reviews
Just ten minutes from Caernarfon and nestled at the foothills of Snowdon, Llys Derwen Caravan and Camping is a family-friendly site that offers a peaceful base for Snowdonia. Tents are welcome on non electric grass pitches and tourers can pitch up on electric grass pitches. Within 20 minutes of the coast you will be in a prime location for days out at local attractions like Caernarfon Caslte or exploring the surrounding landscapes!

This campsite is absolutely spotless! I can honestly say I have never stayed at a campsite as clean and tidy as this. From the toilets to the showers and the dishwashing room, whatever time of day or night, everything was immaculate. The bins were tidy, everything is laid out really well, and there's a little shop with ice creams and drinks. Nathan is incredibly welcoming and helpful, you can tell he takes a great deal of pride in his work, and it shows in the quality of this campsite. The only minor negative is that there's quite a bit of road noise. Within a couple of days, you genuinely start to tune it out.

Very welcoming friendly and informative host. Site was excellent, spacious pitches on well maintained mown grass. Toilets and showers always clean anytime of day or night. Handy pub 5 mins walk, good food and friendly staff. Zip World 20 mins drive away. Would go again. Thank you

We toured the NC500 and then did the three peaks on the way home, finishing with Snowdon. Granted, we had beautiful weather, but the campsite/motorhome site was immaculate and so beautifully well looked after. Nathan (owner) was amazing and went far beyond the call of duty and such a great and friendly host. All the facilities were well up to date and very clean, tidy and well organised. We've stayed in a lot of different places and locations over the years and this was without doubt one of, if not, my all time favourite (without even taking into account its affordability and glorious weather). We will be back on our next adventure to wales. Biggest mistake - only staying 1 night

Matt, what a pleasure to have yourself, wife and lovely dog stay with us at Llys Derwen. Really blown away by your comment about ‘best campsite’ you’ve stayed on, we work so hard and having comments like this is a real boost and makes it all worth while. Hope you had a safe journey home and hope to see you guys again sometime. Nathan

Very well maintained site, clean and tidy washrooms, never used other areas, but all five star. Family run business who are happy to help with anything you ask. Dog friendly which is a bonus, dog walking field. The coop, spar and fish shop are within walking distance. Can highly recommend staying on the site.

Even when you drive up to the gates, you know this is a high quality campsite. Immaculately mowed grass and shrubbery, the most friendliest and professional of welcomes and check in. Spotlessly clean facilities, brilliant views and great sized pitches.

Lovely park & management is great. We stayed midweek during term time, when it was quiet. It was very busy when we left on Saturday morning. Ideal site for exploring Snowdonia. There's a great pub up the road too. Although you can only take dogs in bar area, that's very small. Food was delicious though.

This campsite was smaller than we are used to, but it was just perfect Close to the places we had planned to visit, quiet, very clean and offered showers & washing up facilities, also a little place to buy ice creams. We did notice a pub down the road, not that we had time to try it out. Dog friendly. The site was very immaculate. Definitely would stay here again.

Gary it's always a pleasure to have customers like yourself staying with us and we're glad our campsite and facilities reflected a high standard to you and the family. Hope to see you all again soon. Nathan

Greeted well on arrival, happy to move pitch to accommodate us, so two pitches could be close. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Would recommend and also likely to return as the area is lovely. Had two enjoyable meals in the town too, with lots of eating choices. Taxi ride in was reasonable too.
