Location & Setting
Pros:
"One of our favourite camp sites to take our campervan. Nestled in the trees, the site is quiet and beautiful."
"Lovely campsite in the forest with a nice forest path down to the village and loads of walking routes nearby."
"The sounds of nature are a joy with birds and the stream running by."
"Lovely campsite in a beautiful location."
"Just love the situation in the middle of the forest...all you can hear is the sound of birds."
"Stunning location backing onto Moel Hebog, Moel Lefn and Moel yr Ogof."
"This is a fantastic base for Snowdon, beddgelert etc and the area is breathtakingly beautiful with lots to do."
Cons:
"We found it quite difficult to find as not many sign posts."
"It is very dark, there are a lot of trees."
"Not really any nice views from the pitches as the trees block the view."
"The campsite is very muddy and especially on rainy days it becomes very difficult to even just reach the toilets without getting your shoes and feet completely wet and dirty."
"Rained a lot and the pitches were boggy as under the trees."
"The premium tent area is next to chemical toilet waste, on one side and on the other a road into the forest that's open to public and was used like a main road feet from our tent!"
"Very expensive for a patch of grass and only 2 toilet/showers cubicles for about 35 tents."
Facilities & Amenities
Pros:
"The facilities block itself is clean and in very good condition with plenty of hot water and showers that are some of the best I've seen at a campsite."
"BEST campsite in Snowdonia!! Amazing facilities, shop, food & easy access to Beddgelert forest trails and much more."
"Lovely peaceful site, well maintained with good facilities."
"The showers are hot and the block is heated."
"Facilities were good; shower and toilet cubicles were mostly clean and all in great working order."
"The shower area was very clean, with plenty of space to dry and change."
"Fantastic toilets and shower units."
Cons:
"Could this be the reason why no money is being spent on it? If so, its disgraceful charging what they do for members of the club."
"Booked for 3 nights left after 1. Short staffed, forest pitch not big enough, road full of pot holes, no hot water for a shower, toilet and shower in the same pod, dirty, floor absolutely soaked with dirty water from shower and people using the toilet."
"Toilets/showers on the caravan pitch were not what we expected as paying the higher end of our budget, no privacy as only big block of showers with only curtains."
"There's never any staff around so we couldn't complain, shop always closed, too."
"The bad bits: Toilets aren’t very clean. Urinal was dirty, floors not cleaned and one of the taps was broken."
"While we were there for 3 out of 5 days there was no hand sanitizer in the toilet block and the cleaning was not great."
"The toilet block is awful, tepid showers, half of ladies loos didn't flush unless you nearly broke your arm forcing them."
Customer Service
Pros:
"Staff were very friendly and welcoming on our arrival."
"The staff were totally amazing, they phoned the ambulance, made sure I was comfortable, and even took time to put the tent up for us."
"Staff helpful. The siteshop had all the basics, also do hot drinks and food to take away."
"Really friendly team looking after guests and the site, clean facilities and oodles of hot water a warm welcome after a day on the hills."
"Staff all lovely and there is a shop for essentials."
"Very friendly and helpful staff and well stocked shop at reasonable prices."
"The manager and his wife were very pleasant and most obliging, the facilities were kept clean and the shower/toilet block were excellent."
Cons:
"After a german shepard dog on a neighbouring pitch made an unprovoked attack on an adult in our group."
"We booked back in February for a 5 day trip this August. I hurt my leg over the weekend so I'm unable to walk so gave them a call and they said there was nothing they could do: not even a partial refund, and no option for rescheduling."
"Female member of staff on duty 26th August 18 was extremely rude and aggressive towards us."
"It seems the staff didn’t know what was going on or didn’t want us to know."
"The staff are uncontactable once the shop closes due to the lack of phone signal."
"The response was an extremely rude and cold NO off two staff.... Point blank refused to help me out, banging on about policies.... Absolutely no empathy whatsoever."
"Disgraceful service and advice"
Value for Money
Pros:
"Will be back again worth every penny."
"what a excellent campsite this is first visit last week very wet but that is winter camping for you loads of wildlife good walks really good bakery."
"More than reasonable price, I'll definitely be returning."
"Good price."
"Good clean facilities, peacefully site in the forest, loads walks around."
"Looking forward to my next visit."
"Definitely recommend."
Cons:
"Could this be the reason why no money is being spent on it? If so, its disgraceful charging what they do for members of the club."
"I think 20 quid is at least double the price of what a 1 person tent pitch amidst other people's trash and far, far away from the toilet block is worth."
"The site has a train station that links it to the Welsh Highland Railway but it is pricey."
"Upscale small shop on site, pizza around £13."
"A bit too pricey if you are just camping with a small tent."
"We paid £40 per night for 2 ppl, I did think that was a bit steep for how close together the pitches are."
"Can only review based on the prices I paid during covid very expensive for camping and expensive shop and food."
