 Had read previous reviews and thought warnings of midges must be overstated - they weren't! Only my husbands skin reacted badly though - myself and 2 children were OK. The 'bites' tended to fade off our skin for some reason. But the blighters were damned annoying! Take lots of repellent with you.
The site itself is lovely with the river, streams and railway running through. But because of trees it can be quite dark in places (it is a forest!) and there is no phone signal until you get back to main road.
My Kids loved going to pick up warm, fresh baked rolls for breakfast (pre ordered) from the shop which was quite well stocked with all the basics.
After booking in you are given a map to find and select your own pitch (depending on which type booked) some of the access is very tight and the pitch we chose and thought looked pretty level turned out not to be and took a lot to get sorted.
Didn't use showers but heard people complaining about cleanliness.
Lovely Cafe / takeaway and nice assortment of shops in the village.
Won't be returning though because of midges.

Loved the site, very friendly and relaxing. We pitched on the family field adjacent to the playground which had its pros and cons, namely we could let out two young children go by themselves as we were only a few meters away watching. But the playground could be noisy up until 10pm with older kids which was a problem due to ours going to bed a 7pm, however the noise did stop at 10pm and was quite thereafter.
Whilst the toilet / shower block was clean it was in desperate need of a facelift and renovation which I believe was due to take place in May. Only grip was that the soap dispenser was always empty, in the end I tracked down the site warden who sorted it straight away.
Lots to do in the area and the site has a very idyllic river running through which I explored with my oldest daughter.
We will be back

I love this site. It's in a prime location for ramblers, walkers. Beddgelert village is near by. Fab walks from the campsite, very canine friendly, with plenty of dog bins. Rock pegs is a must, because of it's location. EHU is available, for tenters book early is a must if needed.
The permanent tents have been relocated to one area, much better. The campsite grounds are well cared for. The children's play area is well used, the river is a big attraction for children. Other facilities on site: laundry room, dishwashing area, also a den which is great for hanging up those wet outdoor gear.
Very warm and cosy if it's really cold and wet. Magazine and tourist leaflets are kept here, plus two vending machines which sells soft drinks and chocolate bars outside. The shop/reception sells basic items, milk, bacon, sausages, ect and camping equipment.
A new addition, they have an ordering service, for breakfast rolls, baguettes and croissants, sausage or bacon baps, etc or pizzas, they sell hot drinks as well.
The only let down was the toilet and shower facilities. I feel that these could be cleaned or checked more often. Never had this problem in the past. But People could use the mop bucket to clean up after themselves.
The staff are friendly, will chat, and supply maps of the campsite and advice you where you may want to pitch.
Overall I would recommend this site; spoke to other campers, first timers they said they would come again.

Been to this site a few times over the years, lovely place to go for walks in the forest which is the appeal for us. Nice site, lots of pitches of good size none of which are too far away from any facilities. Dishwashing facilities fantastic, showers could do with an update but are ok, hot water just the dreaded timed buttons but you can't have everything. Midges are a problem at this site, and therefore do take insect repellant you will need it. A walk into town is easy to do from this site, the quickest way is down the road where there is no footpath but we have found this ok with two dogs. Some good pubs in beddgelert for a drink and a bite to eat. Never had any problems getting booked on this site not even at bank holidays due to number of pitches.

We booked four days at this site and would have left after one if we had not already paid in full. Dont want to start too negative so will start with the positive things about the site.
Most of all the staff were very friendly and helpful, lovely walks from the site. A lovely steam train which passes through the top of the site a few times a day. Showers fantastic hot and clean. Pretty site as long as you enjoy being under forest cover. 20 minutes walk along the road into Beddgelert, lovely village with a few nice places to drink and eat.
Negatives, ***MIDGIES ****although we had paid for a picnic table, we could not use this at all due to the many hundreds of thousands of midgies, these really were a huge problem and discussed leaving after one day as we like to sit outside and enjoy the outdoor life but found ourselves seeking cover in our caravan. We were not alone as after 7. 30pm nobody appeared to be sitting outside. Not sure why a code was needed for the toilets/showers as this was a nuisance if you forgot the 6 digit code. At £23. 00 a night for two people in a caravan, not the best value campsite we have stayed on. In a nutshell nice location but a bit dark under the trees and if it rains as someone else commented it sounded like marbles hammering on the roof.

I am so glad that many users have been happy and enjoyed their stay on this site.
We however found the place really claustrophobic with nearly all the pitches for caravans stuck under the canopy of trees. It was raining when we arrived and we found the pitches inadequately drained, not particularly level and very muddy with rotting forest vegetation.
There were plenty of pitches for tents in the open and we were surprised how few for caravans.
Being under trees meant the noise from falling rain was amplified as the rain formed into big drops and continued to fall long after the rain had stopped.
We used the toilet facilities a couple of times and was annoyed at having to use a code in a lock system especially when it was dark and we could not see.
Some folk would say it is a 'Forest Holiday' but we had not expected to be literally under a big canopy with little light and no satellite signal. I can't imagine how long it would take to dry out the ground under the thick canopy of trees.
I can imagine this site being great for families when the sun is shining. But, if you want open views, a clean and relatively peaceful time during wet conditions I would not recommend.
Not having children after 24 years we did not require the play area which would be great for families.
What we wanted was a peaceful, open campsite that offered some sky space and maybe a view. If you want this don't go. We upped camp the next day and found a fantastic site a mile or two away which was a little piece of heaven on earth; level, clean under foot, fantastic views and great satellite signal and wifi and great facilities which did not need a code.
The shop looked well stocked but since we did not stay we can not comment

This really is a forest campsite, when you arrive you are given a map and told what type of pitch you are booked on. As we were in a motorhome this suited us as we could drive around looking for a level pitch.
The pitch we picked was in front of the new steam railway track which we were not aware of until the train passed, they even have their own station.
The small shower/toilet block was near our pitch and the showers were hot and powerful (just what you need after walking up Snowdon). My husband used the bigger block that same morning and he was not impressed as the water was only warm and trickled out.
We went so we could walk up Snowdon, we asked about routes from the campsite and did not find the staff helpful. We made enquiries at the outdoor shop down the road and a very friendly gentleman gave us some good advise.
I would recommend this site as you really did feel you were in the middle of nowhere but if you don't like being left to your own devices and want newly mowed grass then it's not for you.

Managed to get a pitch for a tent for Mayday bank holiday booking the day before! (This is our 1st time we visited this site)
We was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't to overcrowded yet it was busy.
The site was very clean & so was the facilities, This is a great site if you want peace & quite, yet there are plenty of things for children to do!
Overall we had a fantastic time & shall go back again!

Had a 3 night break here with wife, son and 2 dogs. Met up with friends and there was plenty of choice regarding pitches. We opted for a select pitch in the far corner as it was next to the steam railway and had a stream flowing behind us - absolute bliss!
Arrival was easy, told to pitch up and come back later ir in the morning to settle up. Very relaxed atmosphere but also well managed. Rob the warden wandered around frequently making sure all was well but wasn't intrusive.
The facilities were spotless and well stocked with loo roll etc. Plenty of hot water, free showers and no queues.
The shop is well stocked and the staff pleasant and friendly, as well as been well educated on the local area.
There's always something to do nearby.
There is a small playground for the youngsters and a snug with magazines etc for the rainy days.
Be careful not to miss the entrance though otherwise its a reversing job or a tricky turnaround in either direction.
All in all well worth the money and well worth another visit.

Hi stayed at this site in feb 2010 the setting for the site is breathtaking and the walks in the area are amazing but that's about the only good thing I can say.
It was out of season when we went and very cold so didn't help. On arrival the member of staff was very friendly but once checked it that was it we were shown our pitch on a map and left to it.
The site is very tight in places for towing and the pitches were not clearly marked. The toilet facilities were clean but absolutely freezing the water trickled out of the showers and it was like showering outside, the toilets were not heated in any way.
The shop was undergoing refurbishment so can't comment on that that. Childs play area looked good. I'm sure if I went back in the summer it would be a different experience but can't drag myself back due to my bad experience.
I booked the holiday through the camping and caravanning club so expected the standard to be reasonably high I was disappointed and it wasn't exactly cheap either.
