This is probably one of my favourite campsites of all time. Beautiful setting. If you go midweek…read moreand before school is let out on holiday, it's peaceful, lots of space and you can build campfires. They have a small shop and new facilities. There is a lot of walking around to do and beautiful waterfall area for hiking about (but you must be careful). The owners are terrific and deliver firewood to your tent. The beginning of our camping here was terrific, again before school holidays started. On our last night it was the beginnin go school summer holidays and it got quite busy so if you want peace, go midweek. Will definitely return.

This is the most beautiful and peaceful campsite I have ever visited and I've been to a few!!!…read moreIts facilitys are nearly none existant and I recommend you stock up on value bottled water but its a small price to pay for the unbelievable peace and natural beauty of the site. Its a small family run site you drive in pitch your tents and the farmer will visit you to take payment (£6 pppn and £2.50 for kids) you can camp right on the river and wake to find dozens of small wild birds cheekily after your toast. Its close to some fantastic clean welsh beaches. Take a walk in the awesome mountains, sail lake bala then come back to your tent to a good oldfashioned campfire. I'm converted Iwill be taking my kids here every year from here on in!!

Riverside camping is one of the finest campsites in Snowdonia.

You can fish in the river too - although I didn't catch anything. It's a great child-friendly campsite with a large play area and the facilities are excellent with washing machines, fridge, excellent showers and a great cafe/small restaurant on site too. There's also a small shop and the site backs onto a garden centre so you can browse for plants too. It's very well located for Snowdon and Caernarfon.

Shell Island is a huge campsite that my husband and I have visted a lot. The campsite extends…read moreacross a huge area from sand dunes to a causeway there is lots to see and many different camping expreinces to be had. You can have a wild time or a sedate and quite time. We prefer a calmer time whilst camping so stay well away from the sand dunes which tends to be over run with teenagers making noise. We're happy for them do it and don't want to complain so choose the other side of the island where we're unlikely to be disturbed. Plus the views are better on the other side of the island. As you enter the campsite we turn left towards the harbour and camp on that end of the Island. There is a great little beach there that hardly anyone else visits, you can mooch around the harbour and get great views of Harlech castle without being disturbed. I wouldn't visit during any of the school holidays or bank holiday as the whole place is packed out and at times you have to queue up the causeway just to get on and off the island. There are a few shops on the island (an ice cream shop, a beachwear/surf shop/camping shop and a mini supermarket) which can be handy but we tend to arrive fully stocked. The pub is okay, we tend to drink off the island or the beach with out BBQ. We ate at the cafe once and I'd say avoid at all costs. Shower are free as are the toilets. They are largely kept clean and tidy. Also on dotted across the site are portaloos which are great when a bit drunk and not in the mood for the long walk up to the toilets. The portaloos are kept clean and emptied often. I've never had a problem with one and I'm quite prissy. Shell Island is perfect for a weekday camping getaway outside of the summer holidays.

There is plenty of space, you can have a campfire, it has a lake, and the toilets are decent. The shower block can be a little chilly but this site feels a bit wilder so this is to be expected. There is boat hire and barns can also be hired for stays and events.The staff are friendly and the vibe onsite is good. I've been coming here for 12 years and hope to do so again, many times into the future.

This is a lovely Family run camp site. We went there in a Pod which was fab!…read more There are no static caravans there, purely tents, touring and Pods are there if you'd prefer. For the pod it was £40.00 per night, you need to bring everything with you (beds, bediing etc), there is electricity and there are 2 plug sockets spare, a heater and a TV. There are the normal facilities such as showers, toilets, drinking water etc. The site is extermely clean and the toilets are too. There is always hot water (Gas heated) apart from our first day - freezing showers lol (There for a week). There is no on-site entertainment but further down the road there is a club with entertainment, bingo etc, shop, take-away etc which is available for all the camp sites on that road. Sunny Sands camp site lets people from Tyddyn Goronwy Camping use their swimming pool although you are a 2 minute walk away from the beach. Would definately go again, owners are lovely. There was loud music very late at night/early hours on our last night and the owner went out to sort it out with the threat that if they carried it on, they would leave.

Absolutely disgusted with the gentleman who runs this camp site! After arriving and going to pay we…read morefound out his prices had gone up over 150% from last time we stayed so we promptly decided to leave and try another camp site as we was in no position to pay his prices so we moved on to the next camp site who's prices were much more reasonable but after giving our number plates to them we was informed we couldn't stay there as they had just been informed that we had smashed up the toilets on the camp site at tyddyn goronwy the year before! We was speechless. They told us it was the gentleman from the camp site we just left. We can't believe how petty and underhanded this guy was just because we couldn't afford his prices. All I can say is we eventually found a camp site across the road a lot more modern and cheaper so in a way we fell lucky. Please anyone who's thinking of stopping here please don't this guy is a crook and there a plenty of camp sites better and cheaper than this crooks! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
