Rhyd y Galen Caravan and Camping Park

Poor value for money

For the amount it cost to stay here, I was expecting a very nice site and facilities. The facilities were small, cold and average at best. Only 3 showers and toilets in the ladies', 2 in the men's. The family shower was a very, very cold room, with cold and dirty floor and nowhere to hang anything to keep it dry (unless you use a hook waist high behind a bin where your towel would be on the dirty floor). When we arrived, we were advised not to walk to pubs and shops as there is no path, and actually, it's only a cafe in walking distance. For anything else, driving is a must, so had to drive everywhere. Although, very few places serve food after 5, not the site's fault though! The majority of pitches are seasonal and to be honest. Feels like a "local" atmosphere, if you're not one, you're not as welcome. Given a hard standing pitch down a huge hill where all the water pools, so couldn't actually use the awning all week because our pitch was a river, and as for hardstanding, the legs sank into the ground. Cameras everywhere like you're constantly being watched, there's security and then there's reality tv. Quite close to a big road and lots of road noise as walking around site, not the tranquil images shown. The area shown seem to be seasonal pitches so a bit misleading for tourers. I think if this site had been £150-£200 less (like others we looked at) there's bits we would overlook but for the price, expected more. Would benefit from a small onsite shop or even just a reception area to sell milk and bread. Only positive is not far to drive to Snowdon. We wouldn't return.

Second stay

Second time staying at this site. Will definitely be booking again. Booked an electric pitch this time, which was nearer the toilet blocks, really large pitches which give you so much room. Out of all the sites we have been too, which is a lot, this has now become my favourite. The site is so peaceful, staff are so friendly and helpful. It rained all weekend this time, but still the toilets and showers were immaculately kept. If you are considering booking this site, do it, you will not be disappointed.

A great site to stay on if you want peace and quiet

Absolutely gorgeous site. Stayed in a tent on fully serviced pitch. Pitch was secluded which was ideal as we had a dog. Showers were lovely and clean and water was lovely and hot. Site was immaculate.
