About the site

A quiet and simple site that makes an ideal base for exploring Snowdonia. Ten minutes from Snowdonia National Park (Eyri) for those looking for an outdoorsy adventure, and five minutes to Caernarfon for family days out. Both family and dog friendly, there is no need to leave anybody out on your Welsh adventure! The site has 35 spacious grass pitches spread across two fields, some slightly sloping, ten of which have electric hook up, the rest are non electric. Or, why not opt for a glamping stay in the furnished bell tent? The bell tent sleeps up to four with a double bed and two singles upon proper beds and mattresses. Bedding is provided. There is also an electric heater to keep you nice and cosy, as well as battery operated fairy lights and an electric hook up. Outside is a fire pit with one bag of logs provided, and seating. The site is simple and provides all of the essential facilities for your holiday. Be sure to bring a torch whilst camping as the fields are unlit. Set on the outskirts of the traditional Welsh village of Llanrug with local pubs, a village shop, and a chippy, guests have everything they need within a short walk. A family day out isn't complete without a trip to Zip World Bethesda, 20 minutes away by car. Or try some watersports at Llyn Padarn Lake, which is ten minutes away, for paddleboarding, kayaking or wild swimming! Why not attempt Mount Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) for the sunrise? Or take the railway to reach the top and admire the panoramic views at 1,000+ metres. Or, for some seaside fun, Dinas Dinlle Beach is only a 15 minute drive from the site! There is also a bus service in town if you don't want to drive. This site does not take group bookings and caters to families and couples looking for a peaceful place to take in all that North Wales has to offer. BBQs are permitted as long as they are raised off the ground. Firepits are allowed on the camping pitches and can be rented from the site reception. Log bags are available to purchase from the reception. Dogs are welcome, and there is even an exercise field to walk them around! Please note that the field's borders are hedgerows, so may not be fully secure. Children are also welcome to play in the enclosed playing field, equipped with some goalposts, as there are no ball games permitted on the pitches.

A note from the site themselves...

As a family of four, we became the proud owners of this beautiful little park in November 2023. Since then, we have worked tirelessly to transform what was once just a field into a peaceful getaway destination in the Gwynedd countryside.

A lot has been achieved thus far, although we continue with the programme of refinement and innovation and hope our returning customers reap the benefits as we progress. We exclusively cater to families and couples and pride ourselves on offering a traditional family and dog friendly, comfortable camping/glamping trip.

We are both lucky enough to have grown up in the area, so if you need any advice or tourist information while you stay, don't hesitate to ask! Sophie and Daniel

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesSep 2025

Lovely clean campsite…. Toilets and shower cubicles were kept clean and tidy. Nice dog walk area, could be a little bit bigger for dogs and owners to share with other campers. Might not suit people who are night owls and like to stay up passed 10pm for a chat and play board games ect… more for quiet campers.

Site's response

Thanks, Ann. We appreciate your feedback. Fortunately, I had no noise complaints whatsoever during your stay, but when I sent you a message at 5 to midnight it was because I could hear your conversation while I was sitting in reception waiting for a late arrival. I hope you know it was nothing personal and we're so pleased to have heard you laughing and having a nice time, that is ultimately what we want your experience to be, full of laughter and great conversation. You would be more than welcome to stay here any time if you ever return to the area :) Sophie & Dan

Large Tent - Electric Grass PitchesAug 2025

The site was very clean to a high standard including toilets and showers, they were cleaned several times per day. The grounds are well maintained. The weather was wet so we left two nights early. Unfortunately, our stay wasn't the best due to other campers noise and dogs barking, this was addressed by the owners after complaints from other campers on the site. I would however stay here again, the owners are very helpful and ensured all was well during our stay.

Site's response

Hi Sue Thanks for taking the time to write for us. Can we apologise again for the noise that was coming from your neighbouring tents, I hope you can appreciate we acted on it as quickly and as efficiently as we possibly could. If you are ever in the area again you would be more than welcome to stay here. Many thanks, Sophie & Dan
