This a great site situated just a 10 minute walk from Beddgelert village. The site has loads of room for tents vans and motorhomes with and without electric hookup. The staff were really friendly and the amenities were really clean. There is a laundry room to wash and dry your clothes. There is also a shower and toilet block and washing stations. WIFI on the camp is a god send if you have kids with phones/tablets etc, as the mobile signal is non existent. Location is great for going on walks to Beddgelert, if you want to eat out or get a drink in the local pubs. The Sygun Copper Mine is also a 10 minute walk Just a little further on is Llyn Dinas Lake, where you can wild swim, kayak or paddle board. You are also close to several starting points if you want to walk up Snowdon. The only thing missing in my opinion is a shop on site for things like milk, bread, etc. This isn't a deal breaker, as you can go into the village and get what you need. Overall a great campsite and will definitely visit again.

Thank you for your review Lee, it means a lot to us. Glad you enjoyed the village being so close. Thank you for the suggestion of the shop. Unfortunately, this isn't in our plans at the moment. We like to support the local village and send our customers to the village shop. We sell our essential marshmallows for campfires though :-) Thanks again, Cae Du!

Cae Du Campsite is beautifully located in a sunny valley with gorgeous hills all around. I had a swim in the fast flowing, clean river adjacent to the campsite. The pitches are spacious and offer both shade and sun. There is a lovely short walk to nearby Beddgelert with cute restaurants and shops (and delicious ice-cream). Staff was very friendly. The only negative feedback would be the urine smell in the ladies' bathroom, it appeared that perhaps the toilets and showers were not cleaned as often, or as thoroughly as I would like. However, that would be an easy fix and I would otherwise very much recommend this site.

Thank you for taking the time for leaving such a lovely review. Good on you for taking a dip in the river - you can't feel much fresher can you? :-) I am happy to say we have now sorted the toilet situation. Our plumber saved the day and our toilets are back smelling lovely again. It was a drainage problem which has now been resolved. Thank you and hope to see you again soon.

Cae Du campsite in Beddgelert is an absolute gem! Nestled in the stunning Snowdonia National Park, it offers breath-taking views, clean facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a fantastic stay. Perfect for hiking, exploring, or simply relaxing by the river. Highly recommended for nature lovers and families alike!

We had a wonderful stay. It was a last minute decision to go camping and I booked the pitch the night before, but wow was I so happy with our choice. To start, the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful when we arrived. We were then given a map and highlighted where our pitch was. The pitches are such a great size, and in a beautiful location. We got our tent set up and then went straight for a walk on the riverside walk around the camp which is lovely. Another thing we were impressed with was the facilities on site the shower/toilet block was clean and the water was lovely and warm. The site is also dog friendly which is great. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to come back.

Thank you for such a lovely review Faye, it really does mean so much to us. We have worked so hard on the riverside walk so we are thrilled to hear that was the first thing you did and you enjoyed it :-) We shall look forward to seeing you later.

Overall, a lovely site. Good size pitches and nicely laid out. My understanding, after speaking with the locals, is that the site only re-opened this year under new ownership. What they have done so far is brilliant, and the up keep is great. Only a few suggestions would be for the size of site, the shower and toilet facilities need updating and more of them. It was OK when we were there as not busy, but dread to think what it would be like in busy periods. Definitely need updating though. On site shop with basics would be good. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and the location is brilliant.
Site's response
Thank you for a lovely review Patrick, it means so much to us. You hear correctly, we re-opened under brand new ownership on the 1st March 2024! Thank you for your feedback as we can evaluate all suggestions at the end of the year. In relation to an on-site shop, this isn't something we are considering as we are supporting the local village and send our customers there for goods. Hopefully see you again at Cae Du!

A lovely surprise. I was returning to an area I visited many times when I was younger (and fitter) and this site fitted the bill. It is very well laid out with plenty of space between pitches. My ‘local’ shower block was clean and the shower water lovely and warm. Well done on installing a reg number recognition barrier it’s a pity other sites don’t adopt this. Very convenient for the village and fit bus services between towns.

Hi Lin, thank you for your review, it really does mean a lot to us :-). Glad you liked the vehicle recognition barrier - it's a great addition to the site. We hope to see you again.

Absolutely cannot fault this site. Really warm welcome and helpful advice given, including local pubs and amazing walks. We didn't need electric, but on the electric pitches, each pitch has own access to water, which is genius idea. Beautiful views and short walk to village or longer walk if wanted. Facilities very clean and plentiful, with large and roomy showers and toilets. Gorgeous site and highly recommended.

I really enjoyed my time at this campsite. The place was clean and tidy and the staff were really friendly. The best part of the whole experience was the views around the camp, you are surrounded by mountains. Also, there is a local town 5 mins walk away from the site which do nice food. Only bad thing about the campsite was the midges, but that comes with the price of camping - bring bug spray!

We had a lovely 2 day break. Great location for climbing Snowdon. Very tranquil and lots of space. Facilities excellent, lots of toilets/showers and a room with books and games was a fab idea especially with the Welsh weather! Staff very friendly and helpful. Had a swim in the beautiful lake, which eased my burning legs after climbing Snowdon. 15 minute walk into Beddgelert, where there is a really good choice of pubs/cafes etc. Had 2 lovely suppers in different pubs and also a scrummy(lush) brekkie. Would definitely stay here again.

After some accommodation fell through, we had a very last minute booking at this campsite. Unfortunately, we didn't arrive until late in the evening but staff were very accommodating and made us feel very welcome. We pitched the tent near to the river and found there were lots of pleasant walks around the campsite, including a lovely walk to the local village only 10 mins away, very dog friendly. We also found the facilities to be very good, showers were warm and powerful. We had a lovely silent night sleep and were only 15 minutes away from the car park we used to climb Snowdon. Great location with some lovely views from the campsite itself, there was limited signal in the area but Wi-Fi is great there. We would definitely stay here again.

My friends and I stayed for 2 nights and it was perfect. The toilet and shower facilities were clean and there was enough so that you never queued, and they were always stocked, there was even a hair dryer which was an appreciated touch. The actual pitches were a great size and the campsite is set in a beautiful landscape. The fire pits rental was great and the staff were always so friendly and helpful, and accommodated any changes happily. The village is literally 15 minute walk and has all the amenities you would need. Honestly, would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you for an amazing stay.

Excellent campsite. Provide a map/diagram how to set up your pitch. Facilities clean and modern. Even provide shampoo, soap, etc. if you forget your own. Hair dryer is free, no rip off £1 coin slot. Easy walking distance to Llyn Dinas, Beddgelert village. Loads of walks without having to drive anywhere. My pitch was next to the river. Unfortunately there were Welsh midges munching on my skin. No Vodafone coverage, couldn't make or receive calls. Wifi great and free. All in all I will happily go back again.

Thank you Karen for your kind words and taking the time to leave us a review. Sorry to hear you struggled with the signal. We have something called 'Wi-Fi calling' so you can switch that on your phone and it works the same as having signal. Apologies you didn't know this, staff here are always happy to help if you need us :-) Thanks again and we hope you holiday with us again.
