 Exceptional friendly reception, and ample information on local and regional attractions. We splashed out on train trip up Snowdon, having reached Llanberis on local bus. Enjoyed engrossing day out at Penrhyn Castle, no problem parking up with motorhome there nor when we went further afield to see the ospreys at Glaslyn. Treated ourselves to an evening meal at the Glyntwrog pub a short and worthwhile stroll down from the site.
Owner deservedly proud of the site and condition of its amenities.

“Lovely quaint camp site. Perfect location. Will definitely stay again! 5*”
We booked to stay at Llys Derwen camp site in Llanrug at short notice for a quick family getaway with our 10 & 11 year old. The perfect location for climbing Snowdon & close to Llanberis, & lovely local beaches.
From start to finish we were really pleased with our choice!
Emrys the owner met us on arrival & let us pick our own pitch with electric hook up for our tent. Throughout our stay Emrys could not have been more friendly & helpful. Nothing was too much trouble & he even helped us plan our climbs & attraction visits which suited our family & children's ages. The kids loved Emrys (& the chickens).
Albeit quaint & picturesque, the site has 2 hook up fields, & another large non electric field (with an overflow field near the chicken pen where the kids could play safely).
The facilities are the best we've ever experienced. Very modern & always clean with a fab shower.
The local Bakery & pub are a bonus too!
All in all, amazing unspoilt campsite, beautiful surroundings & 5 star Host!
Many thanks, we'll be back! Xxx

This site is very well located for the coastal attractions as well as the mountains. There is a pub within walking distance with decent food, but not cordon bleu.
Facilities on site are sound and clean, and the warden was very helpful.
Castle visitors might like to consider membership of English Heritage, because in addition to the English sites, you qualify for CADW entry, which I think includes Caernarvon, Criccieth & Beaumaris. Plas Newydd is NT.
If on a budget, you may need to be aware of the cafe prices in some of the prime locations (e. G. Port Merion, although it is a must-visit, especially for some of a certain age). Others are very good value!

Lovely owner, let us come a day early. Nice spacious pitch with own water supply. Toilet and shower block were very clean, (no push buttons in shower) but could do with more showers(only 2) did have to wait a couple of times. And there's only 1 washing up sink which is nowhere near enough.
The location is great for Snowdon, National Trust places, Castles, mines etc. So much to do. Port Meirion is amazing.
The pub up the road did good food, but not a lot of choice.
The site didn't seem to have a quiet time and on our last night had to listen to some drunken woman who liked the sound of her own voice(till gone midnight!) would have complained if not going home the next day.
All in all a nice site and a beautiful part of Wales to visit.

Great location, clean, very personal and friendly, helpful welcome and owners. I will go back! It is in a great location for Caernarfon or Snowdon and Llanberis. There is plenty of room between pitches and very organised but relaxed. Lots of hot water for showers and water next to the pitch. There is a great bakery opposite and fresh eggs available too! The owner Emrys is genuine and just a great person who likes people and doing a good job!

Stayed here for a weekend to climb Snowdon and explore with friends0 between us we had a tent, caravan and camper van. We will all definitely visit again. Emrys was extremely helpful and accommodating. The campsite is extremely well presented, well located and child friendly and our children had enormous fun. The facilities are extremely well kept and clean. Grass was nice and short and all mowings were collected so no piles of wet grass being trod repeatedly into tent! Thank you Emrys for a lovely weekend.

We spent five nights here, outside of the school holidays so it wasn't busy and we had lots of space. Very clean, very pretty site, well maintained. The owners were very welcoming and friendly, and we felt we could ask if we had any problems (which we didn't). The facilities met our needs exactly, toilets and showers were always clean and tidy, lots of hot water, and never had to queue.
The weather was a little disappointing during our time there but the site is ideally situated and there is plenty of indoor (and outdoor) activities nearby.
We would recommend the site.

Excellent Campsite.
Really clean pitches, spacious pitches too.
Really good clean washing facilities and are clean all the time day and night.
The campsite is close to Lanberis which has Electric mountain and much more.
Owners are really friendly.
I would definitely use this campsite again and definitely recommend.

You cannot go wrong staying here, the site is beautiful clean, pretty and in a lovely location.
My husband and I stayed in September with our little black poodle cross dog. It is perfect across the board, tent, static, caravan or motorhome. The owner Emrys and his wife are lovely people and very down to earth. The dog walking field is fantastic the best I have ever seen, large safe and with the added interest of a safe fenced off area at the end for the chickens, (my dog couldn't wait to go and see them she loved them and sat mesmerized as she had never seen them before lol). Free range eggs, and a lovely quaint bakery outside the gate, not good if you are trying to watch your weight. You will need leveling blocks here though, we didn't have any so Emrys lent some to us to use. Very helpful. Very clean toilets and showers. This site and its owners should be very proud of what they have achieved, its like a little bit of peace and tranquility in a mad world. This site will certainly become one of our regular trips away, looking forward to it opening at Easter so we can book again.

This is a great site as stated by other reviewers. Excellent throughout the site with Emrys, the owner extremely helpful on all aspects of our visit. Good bus route to Llanberis and Caernarfon within 5 minute walk and local shops easy 15 minute walk. If you like to park up your motorhome and see the local area without moving it then this is the site for you.

We have just returned from two nights at this lovely, peaceful site. We only found it by chance and intended staying one night only but extended it to two as we did not think we could get much better. The facilities are top notch, newly refurbished toilet and shower blocks, spotlessly clean! Washing up and launderette facilities, dog walk area and disabled facilities. The owner could not have been more helpful or friendly. We did have to wait a few hours to buy eggs from him as they were still in production (you can't get fresher than that!).
The bakery opposite is brilliant- good job we didn't stay longer (what diet!)
Very well situated site for lots of local attractions.
When we return to the area I would not hesitate to revisit.

Recently returned home after 9 days at Llys Derwen camp site. After 39 years of caravanning this was the friendliest site we have ever been on. It was also very clean and the shower and toilet blocks were immaculate. The owner was so helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. One must visit the little bakery across the road, the best pasties, sausage rolls and scones we have tasted for many years. The site owner recommended the butcher in Llanrug, just wish he was in our village. Llys Derwen is so conveniently situated for a great number of places to visit and things to see and do - especialy the stean trains and the slate museum at Llanberis.
The pub (150yds away) provided us with some of the best meals we have ever had on holidays so we will definitely return.

We chose this site after reading the good reviews on this website, and from having a good review in our AA campsite guide, and we weren`t disappointed. It is well situated for exploring North Wales, and Anglesey and not far from Caernarfon for getting supplies from the Supermarkets there, we thoroughly enjoyed our 8 days, only one wet one! We also tried the little Bakery across the road and it was very good. The owner of the campsite was very friendly and helpful, giving advise on places to visit and walk with our dog, which there was an ample exercise area for, with lovely views of Snowdonia.
The facilities were ample and clean, the showers were free and very good, and although there was only 4 in total, we didn`t have a problem with availability, even when the site was quite busy. Everything was very well kept and clean. There was also a freezer to freeze our ice blocks free of charge.
We would not hesitate to use the site again if visiting this lovely area. Thank you very much.

My Wife and I have just spent the weekend at Llys Derwen Camping and Caravan Site. Site facilities were second to none; excellent toilet blocks which have been recently refurbished, laundrette room and disabled facilities, all of which were immaculate. We were welcomed by the site owners on our arrival who took time to inform of the family run bakery across the road and the local pub (Glyntwrog) which serves superb food. The site owner showed us to our pitch and took us for a site tour. He has chickens on site and sells fresh eggs every morning along with the option of a newspaper, all of which was delivered at our tent.
For our duration of the stay the site was extremely quiet and you could see there were several regular campers/caravaners who were strong advocates of the Llys Derwen Site.
We have been to several camping/caravan sites throughout North Wales and this had to be our favourite. We felt welcomed and well informed by the site owners to thoroughly enjoy the site and surrounding area. The site is less than a 5min drive to Snowdon and Caernarfon and only about 10mins to Bangor so is an ideal central location.
I would recommend this site to anyone. The owner you are a Wealth of information and thank you for making our stay a great memory of North Wales.
