We booked for four nights and stayed for nine! The cleanest campsite we’ve ever stayed on. The toilets and washing up rooms smelt like a spa. Great location. We’re going back again in in few months.

Well, what an amazing little site. Nathan popped round to introduce himself after we had set up and what a lovely fella. The site is beautifully clean and it is very impressive just how well kept everything is. The pitches are a fantastic size so you don't feel all crammed together like lots of other places. Nathan gave us lots of tips, like where and when to get the Sherpa bus so my husband could climb Snowdon, to where the next shops and food places were. But to top it all off, I think our little one had an amazing time, as he's obsessed with animals and Nathan took him into the chicken coup to see and feed the chickens and collect the eggs. Ollie hasn't stopped talking about the chickens and the crazy chicken who escaped. We will be back soon and for a longer stay next time.

Kirsty, it was lovely to meet you and the family on Pitch No 12 :) As you say, it's a nice large pitch with plenty of room to spread out. Glad Ollie enjoyed the chickens - I finally got hold of 'Cuddles' (the chicken who escaped) and she's now safe and sound in her little house again. Look forward to welcoming you all back, thank you for the top review, really appreciate it. Many thanks, Nathan.

This campsite is absolutely spotless! I can honestly say I have never stayed at a campsite as clean and tidy as this. From the toilets to the showers and the dishwashing room, whatever time of day or night, everything was immaculate. The bins were tidy, everything is laid out really well, and there's a little shop with ice creams and drinks. Nathan is incredibly welcoming and helpful, you can tell he takes a great deal of pride in his work, and it shows in the quality of this campsite. The only minor negative is that there's quite a bit of road noise. Within a couple of days, you genuinely start to tune it out.

Helen thank you for the glowing review you've given us, really appreciate it. As you mentioned, the campsite is well placed to visit the hotspots of North Wales. We hope to see you again at our family campsite located at the foothills of Snowdon. Many thanks, Nathan.

Very welcoming, friendly and informative host. Site was excellent - spacious pitches on well maintained mown grass. Toilets and showers always clean anytime of day or night. Handy pub 5 mins walk, good food and friendly staff. Zip World 20 mins drive away. Would go again. Thank you.

We toured the NC500 and then did the three peaks on the way home, finishing with Snowdon. Granted, we had beautiful weather, but the campsite/motorhome site was immaculate and so beautifully well looked after. Nathan (owner) was amazing and went far beyond the call of duty and such a great and friendly host. All the facilities were well up to date and very clean, tidy and well organised. We've stayed in a lot of different places and locations over the years and this was without doubt one of, if not, my all time favourite (without even taking into account its affordability and glorious weather). We will be back on our next adventure to wales. Biggest mistake - only staying 1 night

Matt, what a pleasure to have yourself, wife and lovely dog stay with us at Llys Derwen. Really blown away by your comment about ‘best campsite’ you’ve stayed on, we work so hard and having comments like this is a real boost and makes it all worth while. Hope you had a safe journey home and hope to see you guys again sometime. Nathan

Very well maintained site, clean and tidy washrooms, never used other areas, but all five star. Family run business who are happy to help with anything you ask. Dog friendly which is a bonus, dog walking field. The coop, spar and fish shop are within walking distance. Can highly recommend staying on the site.

Even when you drive up to the gates, you know this is a high quality campsite. Immaculately mowed grass and shrubbery, the most friendliest and professional of welcomes and check in. Spotlessly clean facilities, brilliant views and great sized pitches.

Lovely park & management is great. We stayed midweek during term time, when it was quiet. It was very busy when we left on Saturday morning. Ideal site for exploring Snowdonia. There's a great pub up the road too. Although you can only take dogs in bar area, that's very small. Food was delicious though.

Veronica, thank you for such a glowing review. Great to have you all stay with us and glad you had a lovely meal on the local. Hope to see you all again soon. Nathan.

This campsite was smaller than we are used to, but it was just perfect Close to the places we had planned to visit, quiet, very clean and offered showers & washing up facilities, also a little place to buy ice creams. We did notice a pub down the road, not that we had time to try it out. Dog friendly. The site was very immaculate. Definitely would stay here again.

Gary it's always a pleasure to have customers like yourself staying with us and we're glad our campsite and facilities reflected a high standard to you and the family. Hope to see you all again soon. Nathan

Greeted well on arrival, happy to move pitch to accommodate us, so two pitches could be close. Clean facilities and friendly staff. Would recommend and also likely to return as the area is lovely. Had two enjoyable meals in the town too, with lots of eating choices. Taxi ride in was reasonable too.
