Reviewer: Ardnas086 1 review from this member

 Good campsite. We stayed for 2 nights during the bank holiday and we didn´t have to book in advance as there is always space. The place is really good, toilets and showers are very basic (only 2 showers) however always clean and with toilet roll and hot water.

The owner is really friendly and advises on weather for the days you will be staying.

Place is well located, only a few minutes by car to Swallow falls. And with lots of local walks to do.

Really good campsite and very cheap! we will very much like to go back there

 Stayed with husband and 2 kids. Lots of choice as to where to pitch but beware too near river in wet weather, rose by the minute one day, scary for those pitched near it! Better to pitch near the wall as those pitched there faired a lot better in storm we had.

Facilities are basic but very clean and showers are hot. Outside sink for washing up. Will just reiterate the need for a torch, there is no electric to the facilities.

The children enjoyed the size of the field for football/kite flying/tennis/riding bikes etc and the river for paddling (not enough sun whilst there to brave swimming!) and throwing stones in.

Farmer very friendly, collected money either early evening or in the morning. Currently £5 per person (inc kids).

Pizza place (poss only open thurs to sun?)5 min walk up road towards Capel Curig, carry on up road for Tyn y Coed hotel which also has food and reasonably priced washing and drying facilities.

Betws y Coed has largish Spar shop and Londis and plenty of cafes/restaurants but too far to walk for kids regularly (did it one day, took 2 hours, despite only being 2-3 miles by car!).

One last thing: MIDGES! (and the odd mosquito). Take loads of spray or wear a net, they are ravenous there! Spar shop sells local made, natural repellent, didn't try it as only saw on last day but wished now I had.

 Have stayed here more times than I can remember! £5 a head to the owner when he comes around in the morning with his dog is a bargain and the views of Siabod are thrown in for free!

Yes, it's basic but the shower block is always clean and there's always been hot water when we've been there.

The Tyn-y-Coed is the nearest pub, about half a mile up the A5 towards Capel and is fine for pub grub. The Bryn Tyrch is about another half mile in the same direction and is now quite up-market. The food is lovely but you will pay for it and you may need to reserve a table on a busy weekend.

 Just come back from another weekend at Dolgam, as usual the farmer was nice and friendly (even gives you advice on the weather for the next few days).

Free showers with hot water, always plenty of toilet roll in the toilets and plenty of space on the site. All a bargain at £5 per person per night!

Cant wait to go back again in July and August, hopefully the weather will be a bit better.

 I have used this site many times since 1984. This is the only place I camp in North Wales. I really love this site and have many good memories there.

Toilets/wash room are basic but I don't mind. It adds to the fun. Pubs are only 90 minutes walk (swallow falls hotel). The farmer is really good and helpful. Stream is cold but good for kids to swim. Will always go back there. PS dont forget the torch!

 I stayed here to walk in the surrounding hills with fellow walkers.

The facilities are basic but fine, usable, plenty of toilets.

Reasonable price for site

Pub and a cafe in walking distance. With good food and beer.

Reasonable big size to campsite so no space issues

Reviewer: Janso100 11 reviews from this member

 I stayed here to have access to the wonderful mountains nearby. It lies in view of moel siabod and the river runs through the site. This creates beautiful surroundings. The pub is approx 1 mile up the road. Facilities are basic but adequate and for 4 quid a person is great value for money. I will stay here in the future.

 I have visited this site many times in the past but I am new to reviews so this is the 1st time I have written a review for it.

It is wonderful location, the views of the mountains are lovely and the close proximity to the river is great for children. Although it is popular with Walkers / climbers families are still welcome, I stopped on the site when I was a child with my mum and dad and I now go back with my daughter along with other family members.

The facilities are basic but fine; there is hot water and plenty of separate washbasins with room for your things! Take your torch at night because there are no lights in the toilet block.

We like to walk from the site to Betws-y-Coed, once at the 'Ugly House' you can go off road and it is a lovely walk past the falls into the village. 


Date of Visit: October 2008 Unit:  Campervan
Reviewer: Marleymarl 2 reviews from this member

 Stayed here a couple of times and can't fault it. Yes it is very basic but at £5 a night for my campervan, it was a steal.

The location is beautiful - great view of Moel Siabod, and the site is right on the River Llugwy. It costs £14 a day to fish on this river, however if you camp here fishing is free! As far as I am concerned I am getting paid to stay here and fish! If you want to go up Siabod (highly recommended - great view of the rest of Snowdonia), this campsite is ideally situated for it.

The ground can get boggy and my camper got stuck, however the farmer came straight out and pulled me out then let me park up in front of his gate on the gravel track. He is a very nice fellow.

The walk into Betws-Y-Coed is really lovely.You walk along the road to the Ugly House then you can follow the River LLugwy down into the village (the path right next to the river can be steep in places, young kids would struggle at times, however there is an easy forestry track that can be followed instead) - you get a lovely view of Swallow Falls on the way, and I only passed one other person on the walk. Think it took me about 90 minutes to walk.

There is also a great pub going the other way on the A5 toward Capel Curig, can't recall what it is called, but it is a big yellow building so you can't miss it.

Has a nice beer garden and does great Real Ales. Food is a bit pricey but decent enough. Takes about 15-20 minutes to walk (take a torch, even though there is a path by the road)

All in all will continue to come here.

 Found the site easily, went to pay at the farm (which is also a B&B), and were then told to pitch anywhere.

There was plenty of room to pitch tents, nice flat field. The toilets, although basic, were very clean, always plenty of toilet roll, and you don't have to pay. There is just a push button to activate the water (which was always hot!).

The bins on the field for our rubbish were regularly emptied and the campsite owner was very friendly. Other than that we were left undisturbed (except for the sheep in the field across the road, they were rather noisy!).

It is in a lovely area, between Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig which is an area popular with walkers and climbers, since it's very close to Snowdon, Tryfan and other popular spots. You are also within half an hour's drive to the coast.

There is lots to do in the area and there is a Tourist Information Centre in Betws-y-Coed, where there are lots of leaflets and very helpful staff.

Would definitely use this campsite again in the future, probably when we visit the area again to climb Snowdon!
