 The campsite was very clean and spacious. The chap in the office on arrival was very friendly and gave good advice about the area. The shop was stocked with everything you needed. The toilets and showers were lovely and clean with free hot water. The views all around the site were spectacular. We would definitely visit again at some point in the future.

What a FANTASTIC site - flat pitches - sectioned off by natural hedges - surrounded by amazing mountain views, stream running through the site kept my son entertained for hours. Steam train runs alongside the site and 'toots' at the kids!
Easy access to many attractions - we visited llanberis and went on the steam train up the mountain - quite expensive but great fun. 15 mins from Caernarfon - local supermarkets including |Morrisons and Tesco, petrol stations close by.
On Site shower block on field 5 was wonderfull - always hot water, wash basins in cubicles - kept clean.
Washing up facilities fine and adequate - busy holiday time but didn't have to Que to wash up. Laundry facilities good and Tv room great. Lots of local information in the TV room.
Staff very friendly.
HOWEVER! We did have to end our holiday 3 days early because of high winds. We had 3 days of amazing weather - and then suddenly it changed - tents were wrecked everywhere - there isn't much shelter along the site due to it being so flat. The Wardens helped us to TRY to keep out tent down but in the end the elements won and we gave up and went home - before the tent became unusable!
Great place to visit - but beware of weather !

We stayed here on the Bank holiday and although it was full there was plenty of room. We was pitched in field 3 which I would say is more suitable for caravans/motor homes. There were plenty of EHU's and water pipes. The toilets in this field was a portacabin type, but they were kept clean, use the other blocks if you can, they are very good.
There's a very nice dog walking area which goes along the the river. The site has a decent size play area and also a field near the river where they have built a BBQ area for you yo use. Its not very safe to walk off camp as we like to do the roads are narrow and fairly busy.
Overall we had a good time and will go back again .

Just returned from 12 nights on this site - all I can say is brilliant cant fault any aspect of it. We had booked a grassy pitch but were offered a upgrade to a serviced pitch which was hard-standing we didn't take it as we like grass but wish we had as there were some really quiet pitches on field 5 with wonderful views. However we were in field 1 very handy for all amenities and although there are some static caravans around the field they were not a problem. Cleanest loos I have ever come across - free hot water. Good facilities for laundry, pot washing and children's facilities. The views and situation is idyllic -close to Snowdon but also to shops at Caernarfon. Would definitely go back - staff very friendly and helpful. Reasonably priced for facilities.

Very clean site with good facilities which include a little pitch and putt. Unfortunately when we visited during the summer holidays it was very busy and people were pitched on the golf course so it was impossible to play! The shower facilities were excellent and extremely modern and well looked after. Never had to queue for the showers once! The site shop was very small and not particularly well stocked though. Upon arrival we did receive prompt checking in service but the reception was far from warm. When we left we heard another happy camper saying to the man at reception how much he and his family had enjoyed their stay and that they would definitely be returning, but he got no reaction whatsoever from the receptionist who didn't even manage a smile. Maybe he was having an off day? Apart from that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Wales and would also return.

Spent our first trip of the year here and it is a truly beautifully situated site. A pleasant reception and easy (ish) map to our enormous pitch. Not all were as big but we were on a corner so benefited from the extra space. As we were in a folding camper we were put in with the tents on field three. Our pitch had it's own tap and waste water but the nearest Chemical disposal point was a bit of a trek but not too far. Well stocked little shop that wasn't overpriced. Be careful if you're planning on going to the local pub, it's a fairly long walk down an unlit country road which you're better off driving than walking, but worth it, we had a lovely sunday lunch in there and again it wasn't overpriced cos we were tourists. Only a few miles from Rhydd Ddu and the base of Snowdon. Be prepared if you've not done it before. It gets very warm if it's sunny and windy and the weather can turn quite quickly. We started on a bright sunny morning and at some points it got very misty and cool if the wind changed direction. Be prepared if you want to catch the train down instead of walking. It only goes into Llanberis whichi s miles from where you need to be and cost us the best part of £30 just to get down and then another £15 for a taxi to get back to our car on the other side of the mountain. Also the trains will only take you back down if all of the people they brought up weren't going back down again so you may not get a seat. Morrisons is only a few miles away in Caernarfon and the fuel is slightly cheaper there for filling up on the way home. The main toilet and shower blocks were lovely and warm and spotless however the portacabin style block in our field served it's purpose but let the site down even though it was cleaned regulalry and didn't smell, it would have been nice to have a similar facility as the caravans had. Not too much for the kids to do on site but if you're going to that part of Wales your not going for the sort of place that has pools and funfairs on site. If you like peace and quiet, beautiful scenery and walking then this is a great site. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Spent Easter at this site with my husband, two 16 year olds and the dog and we all had a great time. The site is set in truly breathtaking surroundings - we were on field five and the views are magnificent. There's also a quaint, narrow gauge steam railway running alongside and the drivers are prone to give you a toot as they pass!
The toilet/shower block is absolutely spotless with free, lovely hot showers in large cubicles. The bins are emptied regularly throughout the day and recycling bins are provided. The pitches are well maintained and very spacious. There is a small shop on site which sells the essentials, the laundry, games room and TV lounge are all very clean and well looked after. The dog walk is large and takes in the river, our dog loved a good dip after a frantic run around the field!
It's really handy for Caernarfon town, the beach at Dinas and plenty of really nice walks across the fields or of course up the mountain!
Just one problem we experienced - the electricity on our field kept going off but the warden did his best to make sure it was quickly restored.
If you go to this site the Sunday carvery/lunch at the Newborough Arms is not to be missed - delicious. Ask at the shop and they'll give you directions (literally 10 mins drive).
We will definitely return here and highly recommend you try it out if you're looking to visit North Wales.

Wow! This site was stunning. If you love walking, or climbing, or horseriding, or little steam trains, or fishing, moutaineering, or maybe just sitting outside your caravan eating breakfast watching the sun rise through the mountain peaks and feeling it warm your skin in breathtaking surroundings, with clean air filling your lungs you must visit this site.
We were in field five, fully serviced pitch and even though I live in a beautiful country village, surrounded by pretty hills and countryside, I could not get over the beauty of the snowdownia foothills, nor the immaculate site . Showers and loos were immaculate, warm and of a good standard of decor, the site was beautifully maintained, had a good dogwalking area and even had riverside barbecue spots. Picnic tables were dotted around the camping fields and the shop was very reasonably priced and well stocked.
The little tourist train runs alongside (not loud enough to be a nuisance) and the site has myriad footpaths leading from it.
It was so nice I am seriously considering cancelling my summer Switzerland trip and going there instead!

Generally a nice clean site, although toilet/shower block not very clean. I visited one morning at 6.30 p.M. And they were very dirty, at 8.30 they still had not been cleaned. A man popped his head in, looked around and said, yes looks like they do need a clean, I presume someone may have complained, but would expect a regular early morning clean.
I feel it is a bit expensive, bearing in mind facilities, although children loved boating on the river.
Lots of insect bites if you pitch near river, but did not seem to affect all of site.
Apologies to anyone in field 6 on 10th/11th June, the rest of our party were a bit loud!
We had some lovely weather.
Snowdonia pub nearby seems to be popular with the French! A lot of these people were celebrating England losing to France.
Probably would not visit again, planning our next visit to Yorkshire and subsequently Anglesey, natives are more friendly!
Although, as low season must say warden was more than happy for us to spend our last day on site, no need to rush off at 12 noon. Thank you.

We were originally booked to go with in laws, them in static us with tourer but at last minute in laws had to pull out so we had static.Owners allowed us to use our deposit against cost of static so that was good!
Had good look around site with view to bringing tourer again quite big seemed to be lots of showers etc at first glance but when you see map has over 300 pitches could get very busy ! most pitches had water and waste but couldn't see any elsan points?
So how does the site rate? Clean , well maintained, helpful staff, entry barrier with code good!
Caravan we had was 2/4 yrs old showing signs of wear , loo door lock broke as was blind on window , frying pan seen better days! Had to take off quilt covers and use own then put them back on when you left???? very strange as not much storage for own things!
Shop pretty empty( but we did go week kids started back) said open til 7 but it wasn't ( changed sign Thur pm, 4 days into stay )
Small playground usual clapped out fergie tractor one little swing but plenty of wasps.
Plenty of shops short drive away plus great chip shop where food is cooked to order!
This might seem like a negative review its not that this isn't a good site just that I don't think it deserves title of best campsite or can justify the prices they charge.
To sum up , clean site , helpful staff, nice area to use as base for further exploring but no wow factor to back up advertising

Gorgeous views but in a really vulnerable spot for wind. We had to abandon after 1 night due to irreparable damage to our tent, even though it was an expensive tent which has stood up to strong winds elsewhere. Every tent on the site seemed to be flattened. We were with 3 other families, all of which had to leave due to collapsed & damaged tents/ folding campers. Beware!

Wonderful site. Worth the money. Having stayed there before I knew exactly what to expect, and it's so nice to see that some sites are kept at consistently high standards. We managed to pick out a quiet area on field 3 to pitch the 9 person tent, with plenty of room to store the leisure trailer and park the 4x4. We could have had hookup if we wanted as most pitches have this facility. The only bad thing was the weather. We had to cut our stay short as a force 5 gale managed to blow the tent into oblivion (at least somewhere over wales). Toilet block and showers maintained to very high standards, laundry and washing up facilities more than adequate. Well stocked shop with everything you need and reasonably priced too. Games and TV room should you need it but most of us like to go out to enjoy the scenery.
Quality site will definitely visit again, though not with the tent.

We had a great holiday here. Site is level and we had a large pitch. Our son loved the river for fishing and paddling. Very central for many attractions. Lovely walks and bike rides locally. Toilets and showers always clean. Small shop with essentials - Supermarkets only a short drive away.
Would advise using awning strap and gravel pegs etc. Because wind can be very strong.

All in all we had a pleasant holiday, although I did think that the toilet / shower block in field 3 could have been a lot better. They were tiny, consisting of 3 toilets, 2 showers and 4 tiny sinks that you could only wash one hand at a time because the water didn't stay on long enough! There was also only one pot washing sink in the block for the people in field 3. The toilets' flushes were a little hit and miss and one didn't have a lock on it, so most of the time we had to walk to the really nice block in field 2. The showers in there were twice as big (although not very powerful) and there were sinks in cubicles. I considered using the family bathroom as my youngest is not too keen on showers, but decided against it when I discovered that you have to pay £2 for a key code and a further £1 to use it!
I used the laundrette on one occasion, but had to wait quite a while as only the smaller of the two washing machines was working. The small shop on site was ok, but expensive. We travelled to the Morrisons in Caernarfon every few days to buy everything we needed. Our tent withstood a lot of wind and rain, though some others didn't, so make sure you keep your ropes and pegs tight! The area itself was lovely, and the views on a sunny morning are fantastic, with the clouds climbing the hills and then disappearing. The little playground for the kids was ok except for one day when a lot of little tents were pitched around it. Even with the little things that niggled us, we had a very enjoyable holiday.

This is a fantastic site. All pitches are numbered and have ample space for a tent and a car. The site is well maintained with a decent sized toilet/shower block that is kept very clean. All sinks are in cubicles which is nice as it gives you privacy when washing in the mornings. Our children loved playing in the river that runs alongside the site whilst we sat and watched at the waters edge. Another attraction for the children was the steam train that runs alongside the site. They liked to run and wave to the train driver and passengers whenever it came past. The scenery is beautiful and I would even say breathtaking. We had such a great time that we booked to stay for an extra night. We are looking forward to visiting again this year.
