About the site
This peaceful and well-maintained campsite is located near Llanberis in Snowdonia, close to both Caernarfon and Bangor. The area is a breath of fresh air, with easy access to the mountains as well as the beautiful sandy beaches and rocky coves on the coast. Tents are welcome across the site's 20 grass pitches with optional electric. Whilst tourers can stay on one of the 20 electric grass pitches located across a gently sloping hill, each with a hook up of at least 10 amp. All of the pitches allow up to eight guests, with wonderful countryside views all around. Snowdonia National Park is within a ten minute drive, making this an ideal spot for keen walkers, cyclists and adventurers. You will also be in easy reach of some of the area's most popular attractions including the National Slate Museum and Caernarfon Castle.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome, with a large field onsite for walks. Fire pits are permitted and BBQs are allowed as long as they are raised from the ground. Fire pits are available to hire on site along with logs, fire lighters and kindling.

Just spent a wonderful Easter weekend at Llys Derwen. Nathan is a fabulous host and works hard to keep all his guests happy. The site is perfectly located between the mountains and the sea, providing easy access to Eryri National Park, the North Wales Coast and Angelsey. We will be back. So many more adventures to be had.

Kevin it was a pleasure to meet yourself, wife and lovely little dog. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. It was interesting to hear each day where you'd been exploring - you definitely made the most of your holiday in North Wales. There will be some fresh eggs waiting for you on your next arrival. Hope you had a safe journey home and look forward to welcoming you back to our family campsite in the heart of Snowdonia. Nathan
