 Stayed here over the Aug Bank Holiday weekend. Great campsite for us. Flat site and reasonably sheltered despite torrential downpour on our first night and howling gale on our last night! Pitches are numbered and allocated so there's no arguments about where to put your tent, or having someone pitching with intertwining guy ropes!
Toilet block is spotless, although there are only two toilet cubicles and two showers (same in the gents apparently) so might be a problem sometimes. Didn't bother us. Just had a strip wash instead! Showers are free; don't need keys to use the toilet block, and lovely hot water. Inside and outdoor washing up areas. Washing machine, freezer, but no fridge, Disabled facilities.
Warden is great. Very friendly, ready for a natter, and seems to be around whenever you might need assistance.
Pub about 5 minutes walk down the road. Geared up for food but does have real ale too (Greene King but no Brains!) We didn't eat there and we thought the prices a bit steep for us but it's very pleasant for a drink or three at the end of the day.
Easy access to the campsite off the road; no tricky corners for large vehicles, and easy to get to all major North Wales visitor attractions.
A perfect campsite in our terms and we'll definitely return if we're in that area again.

What a fantastic site, we booked in for 5 days and ended up staying 10, site owner was very friendly, and helpful without being in your face. The site is immaculate and well kept. Each pitch has a water tap and electric hookup.
The pitch was almost level with plenty of room for our awning. The washrooms were immaculate, spotlessly clean, with large shower cubicles, washbasins and toilets plus hairdryers and shaver points. We normally stay on caravan club sites because of their standards but this site can give them a run for their money, I will most certainly return soon

One of the best sites in the UK. We have never been on better.
On arrival we were warmly greeted by the owner who then offered us a choice of pitches and then helped to site the caravan.
Each pitch has a water tap and electric hookup.
The pitch was almost level with plenty of room for our awning. The washrooms were immaculate, spotlessly clean, with large shower cubicles, washbasins and toilets plus hairdryers and shaver points.
Next to the washroom was the Chemical disposal and waste water disposal.
Although we did not use them there was a washing up area and laundry at the front. Disabled facilities were available in another block by the camping field.
Nothing was too much trouble for the owner, he even delivered daily papers to our caravan. He goes out of his way to ensure you have a good holiday.
The site is well located for Snowdonia trips, boasts a bakery across the road and it superbly maintained. It was pleasantly quiet.
The reception area has comfortable seating and is a mine of information about the area. The owner will help you plan your outings.
I would recommend this site to anyone, without reservation.

We have just came back from Llys Derwen after a weeks holiday there. The site owners are very friendly and welcoming.
The site itself is well maintained and the facilities are of a good standard, especially now the shower/toilet blocks have been refurbished to a higher standard.
There is a bakery near by and a pub within walking distance which serve excellent homemade meals.
The site is situated near Llanberis, Caernarfon, Bangor, local beaches etc. It is also pet friendly.
I would certainly recommend this site.

As a family we have been going to this site for many years now, and as always it has been a welcoming and clean site.
The facilities on this site are well maintained, the shower/toilet blocks are to a high standard with access of a disabled block(toilet and shower).
A local bakery is within walking distance of the site, as well as a local pub with good quality meals to offer. This site is well situated for the attractions Llanberis has to offer.
Overall Llys Derwen is a great place for a holiday and dog friendly. I would definitely recommend this site to people wanting a lovely break away.

We have just come back from Llys Derwen after a 4 night stay. The facilities are good which include free showers and clean.
The owners are very friendly and helpful and if your stuck you can get eggs. Bacon, sausages and burgers at a reasonable price. There is also cctv camera for security.
We don't drive therefore we rely on buses to get around, only a short walk away to a bus stop which will take you to Caernarfon, Bangor, LLanberis and beyond.
We had a 5 man tent, our friend drove us there so we had a hook up.
There is also a pub down the road with very good food and a local chippy with great chips and a bakery across the road with good pasties.

When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by the owners. We were shown to our pitch which was set in a beautiful location. All facilities were close to hand (amazing warm showers) and for the site itself, well all I can say it was immaculate and the pitch site was like a putting green. Great bakers right next door to the site. Try the sausage rolls and eccles cakes are to die for. Local town full of thing to do for the children and plenty of nice places to eat. Thankyou for a wonderful stay and we will see you next August.

Good all round facilities Toilets/shower block. Cleaning for pots/dishes etc. The pitches are a good size and most have electric and water. There is an additional field for children to play ball games fly kites etc.
The site is some distance from shops, although there is a pub with-in walking distance which sell homemade food. Also if you are going up snowdon its a short drive to all day car park. The site is well maintained.
A word of warning ask for a receipt especially if paying cash. I paid cash up front on day of arrival. No receipt was issued, I wish I had asked for one. As I was driving I received a call from the owner saying that I had left without paying and threatened to call the police if I didn't return to pay. I told them I had paid on arrival. Luckily I noticed that there is CCTV in reception, and I asked her to check that before accusing. She did view the cctv and rang me back to apologize.
Otherwise really nice site.

This was an excellent choice of campsite, by far one of the best we have stayed. The owners were very pleasant and helpful, the facilities were of a very high standard, very well maintained and very clean. We visted mid week and the site was reasonably busy, we didn't need to queue once for the facilities (3 toilets and 2 showers in each block, no coins needed). I could imagine in busier periods, queuing may be required. There were laundry facilities available if required so may plan a longer stay in the future. Would suit families with kids, and owners seemed to place people accordingly (we were not near any children). The plot was well maintained and there was a supply of fresh drinking water near to the tent.
Site cost £7 pppn which I thought was good value for money.
The pub was within walking distance and served excellent meals (but you need a very hearty appetite!), close to local coop shop too, a stones throw away from Snowdon and other local walks.
Very highly recommend, however there would probably be more demand on the facilities in busier periods.

Just returned from a weeks holiday with the Jones's. I have to say this is one of the best campsites I have ever visited, including the continent and N. America.
Spotless campsite and amenities close to all of the tourist spots. Bakery right across the street also a butchers, Londis store and fish and chip shop close by.
The owner couldn't do enough for us even delivered the eggs from the farm.
Not easy to spot from the road but look for the brown camping sign on the A4086 opposite the disused petrol station 3 miles from Llanberis and 3 miles from Caenarfon. Enjoy !

This is an amazing site. The owner could not do enough for us and was very friendly indeed.
The toilet and shower block are very clean. Out of the entrance just down the road on the corner is a lovely bakery selling pies, pasties, bread and pastries still hot from the oven which were great to eat.
It is the first site we have stayed on that we have been able to walk a short distance to a wonderful pub for a meal in the evening and leave the car behind. The meals there are really good and are a little bit more expensive than we pay at home but for the quality and portion size it was well worth paying a little bit extra for a lovely meal.
The site is excellent to see all the attractions the surrounding area has to offer.
We visited Caernarfon, Anglesey and travelled around the area in the few days that we were there and they were not too far from the campsite.
I would definitely stay at the site again.

This is an amazing, quite site. We spent a week here recently, turning up without booking and the staff still found a pitch for us (even though the stay included a bank holiday).
The staff helped us pitch our tent as it was the first time we had pitched due to our other tent being destroyed in high winds in the Lakes a couple of weeks previously.
Great toilets and showers (cleaned at least twice a day), recycling and a freezer block service if needed
Centrally located for the best North West Wales has to offer.

We stayed at this very friendly site and felt most welcome the hosts work tirelessly to keep everything sparkling.
The site is fairly level with mostly grass pitches. They pay great attention to their very successful business with many regulars returning constantly.
Terrific food at the pub down on the corner and the site is very conveniently situated for the Snowdonia centre at Llanberis with the Snowden mountain railway, Lake Railway, and Electric Mountain.
If you get the weather North Wales is spectacular and this site puts you within easy travelling distances.
We look forward to our next holiday in North Wales at Llys Derwen.

We booked it last minute on 27th April and are really pleased we did.
On arrival we were greeted by the owner who was really helpful and couldn't do enough for us, we moved from the original booked pitch to a lovely sunny one and had space around us for our two daughters to play.
Appears some of the pitches are not very level but owner offered us levelling blocks which we didn't need but others did. Watching the sunsets from the caravan was priceless and quiet in the evenings which is what you need with two youngsters who were in bed.
The site, toilets and showers are clean, recycling bins - this became the girls job each day to take the rubbish and recycling which like at home they enjoy doing.
We just had to sample the local bakery after reading reviews on here which is literally across the road and can recommend the sausage rolls, pasties both Cornish and cheese & onion which were fresh out of the oven!
The site is ideally situated to explore what Snowdonia, North Wales and Anglesey have to offer, we visited Trearddur Bay, Newborough Beach and Aber Falls which are worth the visit.
There is no play area for children but this did not stop our children from playing round the caravan without disturbing other campers.
We highly recommend this site to other campers with or without children.

We stayed here for a couple of nights 21st & 22nd April.
This is a great site, with a warm welcome from the site owner.
We found this Campsite by accident and were pleasantly surprised when we entered the site. The owner welcomed us, even though we hadn’t booked and literally turned up just before nightfall.
The tent area is well maintained, even and flat! The toilet and shower blocks are fine and again maintained and cleaned regularly. Despite previous reviews stating there only being 2 of each toilet & shower, I think this is adequate for a site of this size.
The site was near full capacity with plenty of families and we never once had to queue or wait for the toilet or shower.
Location, this is a quiet site, ideal for a tranquil get away or as a base camp for Snowdon, without the crowds.
We will be coming back!
