What visitors say
3.5 stars really...it's a really great spot to climb snowdon, stunning views all round and Llanberis is just a short 10min walk away. The camping fields are all hilly but you can park on them or in the car park. The Service was good, only downsides are the communal fridge could do with a clear out of OOD items and shower rooms and toilets could be significantly cleaner and the handsoap barely lathers, though £1 for an 8min shower is longer then you think and was enough. The food truck was great, very affordable and delicious, but I wonder if they struggle to hear customers when inside as there were a couple of ordering issues.

Wonderful campsite, in the most stunning location and lovely owners. Stacks of space to pitch up, views of Llyn Padarn, and Snowdon. Very peaceful with everything you need, including a washing up area, drying area and even a takeaway van at weekends, where you can get the best bacon rolls in the mornings and also bugers in the eve,. Its hilly as expected, but you can find flattish spots. Right near the start of the Ranger Path a super quiet, and easy route up Snowdon. As advised on their website I followed google maps and it got me there perfectly. I cant wait to return next month, a huge thank you! ☺️

Nice and quiet campsite allocated near Snowdon. You can get facilities such as a hot shower, washing pot, fridge, freezer, food and a wonderful view of the lake, mountains and Snowdon. You can easily walk to the village to get shops, cafes, lake swim/activities and more, just a 10-15 minutes walk. The only issue is the campsite is allocated on a hill which makes it difficult to find a flat pitch, and if you find one, lots of stones underground won't let you fix up your tent to the ground.

Not a bad campsite. Lovely views, owners are nice, location good. 0.5 mile walk into the village itself. Campsite is very slopey , there are a few flat locations but all taken so be prepared to sleep at an angle. Toilets/showers clean and are up near reception with water tap available.
