 We camped in the 'river field'
Check with your mobile network provider as the signal in the campsite is rubbish (nothing to do with the site!) we needed this as we were walking every day for weather updates.
Unfortunately the weather was bad all week and this part of the site flooded.
The pitches were quite rocky, so take metal mallet and spare pegs!
Toilet block a bit of a trek, but the facilities in there were really good
The site had a really secluded and quiet feel about it, very tranquil.

We loved this site!
The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities were clean and modern. There was plenty of hot water and no queues for showers. The children loved the playground and the steam train station. The shop was fairly basic, but you could order fresh bread and take away pizza. There was also a coffee bar.
Beddgelert is beautiful, we had a lovely walk along the river to Gelert's grave and enjoyed lunch in the garden of a riverside cafe. We also picked up a few bargains in the Gelert camping gear warehouse shop!
We experienced some typical Welsh weather (wet and windy!) but that didn't spoil our enjoyment.

Went back for second year. New people running the site. Much more information and very friendly. Added bonus was the choice to order bread and breakfast rolls etc for pickup in morning. Good information about local walks. A lot less midges this year. Would recommend to stay here. Only down part, the village seems to close half day a lot. Don't leave food in tent very greedy squirrels.

Appeared to also be a busy week (half term) and available sites were limited but eventually plumped for one outside the shop on a reasonably level bit of ground. Other sites were pretty midgey down by the stream or more uneven up behind shower facilities. Pleased with site though because allowed easy supervision of my daughter when playing on nearby play area, as signage required. This area was a mecca for the under twelves and made for easy friend-making, always a good thing.
The shop is well stocked with spare camping accessories, but less so with groceries. Bread must be purchased to order and the milk ran out soon after opening time. The coffee bar was a welcome sight, allowing for a break whilst pitching tent! There is also a pizza ordering service which we used for an evening meal after summiting Snowdon - the quality was excellent not to mention the convenience.
The shower, toilet and washing up areas were very good with plentiful hot water (could even have been too hot?). Finally, must recommend a walk to Beddgelert and along the riverside to poor old Gelerts resting place - surely there are not many better ways of teaching a child about the importance of thinking twice before acting once.

We have just come back from a three day camping trip over the spring bank holiday and all I can say is we have all returned back home with hundreds of midges bites, you cant sit outside your tent at night for more than an hour at the most and the shop do a roaring trade in all things connected to this big problem.
We arrived early on Friday and as advised due to the fact we have a family tent purchased two pitches at a cost of £180 and we wish we had not bothered because there was tents bigger that had not bothered to do this and paid a lot less.
We ended up on the grass outside the main shop and to be honest it was the best place on the site the wardens where friendly and just left us to it, at 12 oclock on the friday we heard a lot of banging and woke up to find a tent pitched less than a couple of foot away from are front door.
We returned back to the tent from a day out and they had squeezed a few more on to the point where you couldn't move without fear of stepping on a tent in the middle of the night its the only campsite I have been on that tents have been pitched outside the toilet block front and back so everyone going for a shower walked past there tents.
The good points
Pizza and bread made on the site was out of this world
The river was lovely and nice for the children to play in
Toilets ok but not enough showers
Thats it really I wouldn't return it far to painful

We stayed here for 6 nights over a very wet and windy Easter, and had the misfortune of our van breaking down on the Saturday before Easter Sunday. The staff were very helpful, gave us telephone numbers for local garages and as the site is out of mobile phone range, gave us their phone number as a contact for the RAC.
We were travelling with two small children who enjoyed the play area, the trains running through the campsite and the walks in the woods. They spent a lot of time playing by the river and on a small island, building a little stone age village out of rocks.
We walked into Beddgelert village a couple of times (about 15 minutes with children) which has a couple of nice touristy shops, chippy and two pub/hotels where you can get food, there is also a very good outdoor shop and a pizza restaurant, but not much in the way of groceries. There is a big Tesco in nearby Porthmadog. The shop on site keeps a few essentials, gas and a small selection of fresh baked bread. The staff baked us some baguettes for our lunch on one of the days we were stuck which was very kind and greatly appreciated. On the whole the site facilities were warm, clean and maintained but I did think it was a bit on the expensive side, it will be interesting to see what happens now the C&CC has taken it over.
We loved the forest style site, the pitches are not flat as billiard tables, you do need rock pegs (and a couple of big boulders), you will need a pair of walking boots which will get muddy, but then again we don't like those grass and concrete sites which are laid out like car parks. If you want to stay somewhere with character, want to be close to the slopes and like to have a bit of nature about you, I would recommend this site.

Stayed at the campsite for 1 week.
Nice friendly helpful staff.Lovely site with plenty of pitches in the forest.Showers and toilets clean and never had to queue.
Lovely area with lots of walks. We climbed up Moel Hebog, Snowdon from Ryd Due, Nantal ridge and Mynnyd Mawer.
We were blessed with the weather sunny every day and we sat outside our van every night and had a barbecue.
We come to Wales quite a few times a year and will definitely use this campsite again. Had no trouble with midges or squirrels.

I've just stayed for 3 nights at this site,in a motorhome on a pitch with electric hook-up.
I found the staff very friendly and helpful.
The reception & shop opening times were not clear. During my stay the gate locking time was changed to half an hour earlier than I was notified on arrival. The on-site directions were confusing with no clear 'exit' signage.
The facilities were clean, with warm water in the showers and hot water for washing-up.
There was a useful motorhome service point.
The main purposes of my visit were to do a day's voluntary work on the Welsh Highland Railway, which has a halt at the campsite, and a couple of off-road bike rides in the Forest and near Caernarfon.
The railway is wonderful (but I'm biased!). If you don't want a long journey just go down the Aberglaslyn Pass and back up to Rhyd Ddu (to the tea shop) or Waunfawr (for real ale or pony trekking).
Peter at Beddgelert Bikes couldn't have been nicer, and the forest looked beautiful with its autumn colours.
However, what should have been a thoroughly enjoyable break was ruined by my bike being stolen from the pitch whilst I'd gone to the cinema in Porthmadoc for the evening. So, cyclists be warned, take a padlock & chain.

Lovely campsite, the surrounding area is lovely.
Facilities were good, clean and not crowded, ranger is friendly and helpful.
Theres a play area for the kids which they loved.
There really is some fab little places to visit nearby.
The only thing that I didn't like was when we booked in, we were just left to find a pitch, which is quite hard with the layout.
We ended up near the river and there was loads of midges we got bitten loads even though we had repellent.

Good points:
Spotless washing facilities
Well placed for walking.
Bad Points:
We found most of the site quite gloomy and univiting - but it is a forest so I guess it would suite you if you like that kind of environment. Finding somewhere flat also seemed a bit of a challenge.
It was certainly a bit of a midge-fest.
The site has some delinquent squirrels (which I thought was quite endearing) so make sure your tent is squirrel proof if you are out for the day.
Staff didn't seem too friendly.
Overall
I guess we prefer open, flat, grassy campsites so perhaps we made a poor choice this time. We live and learn.
Local Attractions
We tend to walk or go to the seaside rather than visiting 'attractions' but did go to the 'electric mountain' at Llanberis on a previous visit to the area - we weren't impressed. On the other hand, the italian ice cream shop in Llanberis was awesome, and there is quite a good camping/walking discount store there too.
And Harlech is one of the best beaches in the country!
