Very clean showers and toilets. We had plenty of space with our tent and it was nice not to be overcrowded. There is an area to play pool and ping pong. Great location for accessing Snowdon / Conwy / Carnaefron. Only negative was we felt a member of staff was a bit rude at check in, but that didn't affect the rest of the stay.

Was okay for an overnight stay, but not a lot around. £51 was a bit more than I wanted to pay. However, the pitches were great and facilities were modern with clean hot showers.

We feel the area does have a lot to offer from walking, cycling, water sports, castles, museums, trains, aquariums to mention a few, as well as pubs and restaurants in Caernarfon (2 miles away).
Very fun stay!

I would 100% recommend this park! The park is dog friendly with loads of space and very clean toilets and showers. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The only minus was that our pitch was located next to the road which is very busy during the day. You can also hear cars at night.

The couple that look after the site are very friendly and helpful. They really look after the place and keep it spotless. Lovely powerful hot showers and good toilets. Nice washing up area, including washing machine and dryer. Beautiful views from the campsite! Loads of lovely places to visit, all a short driving distance from the campsite. Surrounding area with beautiful walks. Would recommend Snowdonia and Conwy. Beddgelert, Betws-y-Coed, Swallow Falls and the Ugly House a must. All in all, North Wales is a breath taking, beautiful and camping friendly place to visit! We will be back :)

We had a lovely few days at this campsite, the wardens were so helpful & friendly. The toilet and shower block were very clean & modern. The extra touch of plants and ceiling heater in the toilets was a real welcome. Only being a 8 minute drive from Caernarfon was really convenient too. I would definitely recommend this campsite.

Beautiful campsite with immaculate toilets and shower block. Having bikes meant the location was great for joining the route 8 cycle ride. The dog walking area could be improved. No gate and overgrown grass in the centre. Fantastic games room.
Site's response
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent camping experience at our site. We're thrilled to hear that you found the campsite beautiful and that our toilets and shower block were immaculate. It's wonderful to know that the location worked well for your cycling activities, especially with the convenience of joining route 8. We appreciate your feedback regarding the dog walking area. Ironically, the gate was taken off so that the tractor could come in to cut and bale the centre of the field! This has now been done and the gate is back on. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our fantastic games room. We aim to provide a variety of amenities for our guests to enjoy their stay to the fullest. Thank you for choosing our campsite, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Your feedback helps us make improvements for a better camping experience.

Lovely campsite. Very clean. Shower block cleaned regularly and up to date. Hot water which was a great bonus! Only criticism would be that the toilets/shower block were not nearby to our pitch. The toilets and shower block were next to the caravans and most of them had electric hook ups, plus their own amenities. It would be have made more sense for the toilet/showers to be near the tent pitches. I would definitely recommend this site though. It was good and the owners/warden helpful and friendly.
Site's response
Thank you for sharing your feedback about your stay at our campsite. We're delighted to hear that you found it lovely, clean, and that the shower block was modern. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the location of the toilets and shower block in relation to the tent pitches.

Thank you for recommending our campsite, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Your feedback helps us enhance the camping experience for all our guests.

The campsite was very organised. On arrival, we received a map of the campsite, which was very useful when looking for the facilities. The campsite was well lit, with small lights along the footpaths and around the tent pitches. Bathrooms/toilets were very clean. There were multiple water taps dotted around the tent pitches, fire pits on site to rent, recycling area and plenty of berries around to pick. In general, a lovely and tidy campsite perfect for couples, families and friends. The only downside for us was that the non-electric tent pitches are right beside a quite busy road, which meant we were kept awake till late and then woken up very early in the morning.

We had a lovely time staying at Rhyd y Galen. We had a secluded pitch with our own power and water supply. Neighbours were lovely and no loud parties. There was loads of space for our young kids to run around and meet other campers, as well as a lovely barn area with table football, pool and table tennis, which our kids loved. Toilets/showers were in very good condition and regularly cleaned. The laundry facilities were disappointing, with just one old washing machine and one drier for the entire site and given the wet weather, this was in much demand. The cost of use was £4 for a full wash (which appeared to be £1 for 30 mins of power) and £1 for 30 mins of drying time, which felt expensive, and it would have been nice to have had known that we could have selected shorter cycles and paid less, or for a more efficient washing machine to be able to do cycles shorter. It was also £1 coin payment only which would have been good to know in advance. Other than the laundry though, it was a delightful campsite and we would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

Since your visit, we have purchased a brand new washing machine which has multiple wash cycles that you can choose from.

We have had a wonderful stay here this week. Such a beautiful site with the cleanest facilities. Booking was easy, check-in was easy and the site was secure. The 'games room' was disappointing (a barn room with a few free standing games tables), but that wasn't an issue. Some benches in the main shower block would have been ideal (to make changing and showering easier), but the shower facility in the small block was fab. We used the smaller bathroom block as it was closest. It was wonderful: spacious, hot water all the time and super clean. Plenty of space between pitches. Highly recommended. We would certainly return.

Easy to find site with a friendly welcome. Beautifully landscaped with roomy pitches. Toilets were the best I have ever used on a campsite. Spotless, private, beautiful and well maintained. From the site you can easily travel to many places of interest. We had a fabulous weekend and we will definitely revisit.
