Cae Du Campsite Reviews

Excellent campsite

Really good location if you want to go walking. The site was very tidy and the pitches immaculate.

One happy camper

Can't recommend this site enough, the staff are so welcoming and always willing to help out, the views are breath-taking. From 360 mountains to the wildlife and the clear star skies at night, if you're after a peaceful stay, this is your place - it will tick every box you have. I will most definitely be coming back.

Would recommend

Lovely campsite in beautiful surroundings with easy access to many walking routes. It's a short walk into Beddgelert which has a number of pubs and cafes along the river. Staff at the site were really friendly and extremely helpful. Would definitely stay again.

First time visiting Snowdonia

On arrival, met by very friendly staff in reception, lots of info given about the site and surrounding area. Our pitch was in a great location near the shower and information block. Very clean, couldn't ask for a better spot, 8 mins walk to town, both the river path and road way, We also visited the copper mine 5 mins walk across the camp field. A short 25 min drive to the Snowdon train station. All in all, a great location, thanks for having us.

Really lovely experience

Me and my partner just stayed for one night just specifically for the hike up Mount Snowdon, but we wish we booked for an extra night as the location, service and campsite were amazing! Staff were very friendly and in such a nice location for walks. We will definitely return!

Great stay

Great site, friendly staff, pubs local. Pitches have good space, and nice little walks around. 10/10 recommend.

Really good campsite!

Really enjoyed our weekend stay here. Facilities weren't the best I've ever used but more than good enough for what is required. Location is spectacular and plenty to do and see nearby. The only negative I have is that as we arrived it was dark, Googlemaps took us down a dark, unlit and extremely narrow lane. How I got the camper through, I'll never know. This happens on a very regular basis according to locals, so make sure you do your research before heading out, as internet signal in that spot is non-existent. This said, I would 100% go back again and recommend to friends.

Site's response

Hi Alex, thank you for your review and kind words about Cae Du. We love the location too :-) Just wanted to comment on the back lane incident. We are extremely sorry you have experienced the back lane. We have this information on our confirmation emails which we send out via our booking system. This is so we can pre-warn our customers before they start their journey and can ignore the sat nav if it tries to take you down the lane. It is extremely dark at the moment too so we understand how difficult it is. We really don't want our customers to experience this lane and we try everything we can to prevent it. We currently have the brown Cae Du signs on the main road. However, we also have two signs on order at the moment for either side of the lane to warn people you cannot access Cae Du via vehicle. Thank you for raising your concerns and hopefully when you come next time the signs will be up and you can enjoy your journey to us :-) Thank you, Cae Du.

One nighter under the stars

Easy process on check in, friendly team throughout. Great location as less than 10 minutes into Beddgelert.

November Night

Very quiet and a fantastic location. No major issues, just that we booked hard ground as winter, and the pitch was muddy and quite expensive at £43 a night.

Fantastic mountain location!

What a beautiful location nestled in the mountains surrounded by lakes and rivers, woodland and valleys. Great place to pitch and then head by short walk into the gorgeous stone village of Beddgelert which has lovely pubs and craft ships. The site was relaxing and peaceful, the facilities were good with spacious showers and very warm water. Would highly recommend and can't wait to return.

Great location and clean facilities

Clean facilities and great location, would stay here again.

Amazing night sky

Fab 1 night stay. Absolutely amazing at night, being able to see the stars as it's so dark. Views are amazing in the valley, so picturesque.

Breathtaking views

What a beautiful place and very helpful staff.

Mini break

We just wanted a little end of season break before the campsites close and we're so glad we chose Beddgelert as a location. Cae Du is a large site ideally situated approximately 30 minutes walk from Beddgelert, it serves as a fantastic base if you enjoy outdoor pursuits. The onsite facilities are kept spotlessly clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's a dark sky location if you like stargazing. However, the site is unlit so you'll need a torch once it gets dark ! The various footpaths from the site are unpaved tracks, which are muddy in wet weather. There are groundwork's in progress at the time of writing, they're preparing more pitches so maybe in future they'll get round to laying some hardcore or similar at the exits which would be beneficial I'm sure. All in all it was a great short break and we will definitely return next year for a longer stay. Highly recommended 👍

Wales

Lovely location and site.

Amazing views

The most amazing views in all directions.

Returning to camping

Our 1st camping trip for probably 30years, so it's hard for us to rate a site. Having said that it was clean, well laid out and the service on site was excellent. As for location on a dry Oct night, we were very happy with the 10min walk into town, with it's wide selection of eating places. For walking, the location is fantastic and full marks for the display of local walks that the site has put together, gold star.

Amazing site

We had a wonderful stay at this fantastic campsite, the facilities were great and the shower was super hot, which was great. A very good location for walks and drives out. I would definitely stay again.

Nice place to stay, really pretty surroundings

It was a really nice campsite, could have been a bit cheaper for a non electrical pitch was £66 for two nights. I feel a patch on the grass should be a bit cheaper than that. However, reception were really friendly, campsite was nicely maintained and the location was perfect for what we wanted to do, eating and walking.

Beautiful and peaceful

Great stay! Really enjoyed ourselves and close to Snowdon which was ideal.

The perfect pitch!

We drove over 5 hours to reach the site and we were stuck in motorway traffic for over an hour, we panicked that we wouldn't make it to check in before 8pm. However, the remote check in was available, which was a massive weight off our shoulders! We received a guided map to our pitch on arrival, so we quickly found our pitch. The site catered for everyone! There were showers, toilets, running water, electric hook ups and the guest WIFI was great. There was a washing up area, washing machines and even tumbler dryers! To make it even better, the site was surrounded by rolling hills and a gorgeous stream. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be making a return! Thank you.

Great place to stay for Snowdonia

We visited Cae Du years ago and now it has reopened so decided to go back. A large campsite, quiet policy from 9.30pm. Lovely pitches with water and electric next to them. Motorhome service point is great. Showers and toilets (2 blocks) were very clean. Views lovely and only a 15 min walk (along the river if you want) to Beddgelert where there are coffee shops/pizza place/ice cream shop and bistro/pub. Great site for walks straight from the door and only around 5 min drive (or 3km walk) to the start of the Watkin Path for Snowdon. Would definitely return. Ideal for a walking break/holiday with family/peace and quiet.

Great site in a picturesque setting

Lovely site in a beautiful setting. A really pretty lake is on the site and there are picnic tables scattered around. Just a 15 minute walk along the river (or road) into Beddgelert, where there are pubs and tea rooms. The showers and toilets are really clean and very spacious. The staff are lovely, helpful and welcoming. We were also lucky with the weather - the beautiful sunshine made our break even more special. Highly recommend and we will come back.

Lovely site

Lovely site. We arrived very early as we were having problems with our Motorhome and the staff were very helpful and let us on to our pitch as it was empty. The shower block was very clean. Bit of a pain as they are push showers but did the job. I loved the heat of the showers but was far too hot for my partner and would imagine they would be too hot for a child. Lovely walks and only took us 10 minutes to walk to the village that has a few pubs and a shop that stocks everything you could need. Very good bus links from the village.

A brilliant find in a lovely village

The best place we have stayed all holiday. With friendly staff, a great spot and just a 10-15 minute walk into Bedgellert village, which is so picturesque. It had a great restaurant called Hebdog and the St. Lawrence pub was good for food too. There was a lovely pathway alongside the river from the campsite down to the town. We loved it so much, we stayed an extra night.
