 One of the best campsites we have ever been too.
The facilities were very clean and the campsite itself was well planned out with lots of space and camp fires proved.
Would 100% come back

Fantastic old fashioned campsite run by Graham and his family we cannot speak highly enough of this family run pub campsite.
If you not been here before then you are missing out so come on folks try this welsh mountain campsite. This family will teach you the word discipline and what it means to behave in a good manor thus in return this site will make sure you enjoy your holiday stay.
From a very happy customer and will be back. Luv you all. Phil n Kathy.

8/10 score for me. Book in at cwellyn arms pub £10 each. Nice flat ground pitch where you want. But hard under grass take big hammer for pegs.
Large site no noise. Good toilets and showers. Smells a bit eggy near toilets.
We camped in next fields by lake. Then walked back to pub for few pints and nice meal in beer garden watching Snowdon opposite talking about the walk up it next day.
All in all good weekend 😃

Fantastic campsite owners and family run business and good people to chat with on this scenic countryside site is all we ask for, especially for our tent stay. And this is the campsite for us.
With great facilities and affordable prices,
Most important disciplined to perfection rules to be obeyed at all times, and with a local pub literally on site with amazing food and drink what more could we ask,
Yours Sincerely, very happy campers,

You have to check in at the pub first (1 mile south). Especially if you want firewood. Apparently the warden regularly checks you're using their wood but I didn't see him after dark.
They do provide these fantastic fire pits as well.
The site is very pleasant with a stream along the edge.
No vehicle access to the grass but its not far to walk if you're tenting and they have barrows. It started getting a bit boggy in heavy rain but did drain away after a while.
The amenities block was very nice with four large warm flowing showers. Loo's were clean and a spacious washing area at the rear. There is another block with washers and dryers but out of order. Warden said they were buying new ones.
The pub is 10/15 minutes down the road with good beer and others said the food was great.
Some great walks nearby with the Nantle ridge and Beddgelert Forest and 2 or 3 routes up Snowdon. T

Stayed here whilst supervising a DofE group. You can't park your car next to your tent but the fields are quite narrow so it isn't a big problem. We noticed that a couple of the fields were a bit waterlogged so pick your pitch carefully.
The toilet/shower block was clean and tidy. Showers were the push button type (never understood why campsite owners think we can't be trusted to operate a tap) but you got a decent amount of time between pushes.
Each shower had a couple of hooks and caddies for putting your bottles in, which saves putting things down on the floor. A nice touch was the provision of a changing room style bench with coat hooks in the centre of the block.
There were two places for washing up, each with a few sinks and the areas were again clean and tidy.
The only problems with the site were the midges (the river running down the side of the site probably encouraged these) and the fact that its quite a trek back down the road to the pub.

First camping trip to Wales. Easy check in in the pub over a well earned pint after a 6 hour drive ! Campsite about half a mile down road from pub with absolutely fantastic views of snowdon and the valleys.
Total peace and quiet. Toilet and washing facilities were very good and kept very clean. Great wood burning braziers/bbqs although wood must be bought from pub.
The only downside was that we were there right on midge season and ended up getting bitten to bits ! Best camping trip we've had and would deffo return !

Fantastic location and lovely shower/toilet block. However, the over bearing owner patrols the campsite, into the late evening.
Making sure you've paid, and that your only burning wood you have bought from them.
3 or 4 times we were 'checked on' You are effectively being treated like children.
Oh and most of the trolleys for moving your gear, are broken.

Glorious site, almost tempted to revert to canvas just to experience the fabulous lakeside tent-only pitches!
We sited our motorhome, as pre-arranged, on a perfectly level spot in the car-park and filled a jerry can at the nearby utility block to fill our tank with enough water for a couple of days (the fabulous shower block and washing-up sinks meant we needed very little water in the van).
Great walk up Y Garn and we plan to return to climb Snowdon from this side.

Visited in early September so the site was nice and quiet but I imagine the facilities could get a bit stretched at busy times. The showers are a bit tatty and would benefit for a bit of TLC
This is really a tent only site although we were ok with the motorhome in the carpark, but again if the site had been busy there is a good chance you could get blocked in- cars are not allowed on the field so everybody has to park in the parking area.
An important point worth noting for campervan/motorhome visitors- there are NO water standpipes so you cant fill up your on board tanks. Neither is there a CDP.
On the whole a nice site in a great location but EXPENSIVE at £20/night without EHU
