What a beautiful location nestled in the mountains surrounded by lakes and rivers, woodland and valleys. Great place to pitch and then head by short walk into the gorgeous stone village of Beddgelert which has lovely pubs and craft ships. The site was relaxing and peaceful, the facilities were good with spacious showers and very warm water. Would highly recommend and can't wait to return.
Great location and clean facilities

Fab 1 night stay. Absolutely amazing at night, being able to see the stars as it's so dark. Views are amazing in the valley, so picturesque.

Things to do on site and in the Beddgelert area
For keen walkers, Cae Du is the place for you! With a pretty riverside walk and a beautiful lake to walk around. Or take a five minute drive, or 40 minute walk to Llyn Dinas, a great spot for wild swimming, canoeing or paddle boarding! So, this is the time to try out something new, or if watersports aren't for you just simply take in the pretty views.
There are plenty of walking and cycling trails around, you can even hire a mountain bike or electric bike for those adrenaline junkies! Nearby walks include Aberglaslyn (for a gorge walk), Cwm Bychan (for views of Llyn Dinas) and Moel Hebog (to overlook the campsite with sea views).
And obviously Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), either take the Watkin path up and the Cambrian way down or park in the car park for a shorter walk.
The pretty village of Bddgelert is just a 15 minute walk away and home to pretty stone built shops, pubs, craft stores and even a pizzeria! Be sure to take a stroll down and explore, a great way to unwind after a day in the outdoors.
For a family day out, visit Sygun Copper Mines, only a 25 minute walk away. Here you can visit the underground Victorian Copper Mine to take a step back in time. Here there is also a children's playground, museum and cafe.

- Watkin Path Waterfalls (15 minutes)
