Cae Du Campsite, Snowdonia

Why we love Cae Du Campsite
Because it's quiet and there's plenty of room; Cae Du Campsite spreads out over 30 acres and sits on the banks of the River Glaslyn. The site is just a stone's throw away from the village of Beddgelert and right in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park. Peace is the word here, with the no music allowed rule it's not a party place but perfect if you want to enjoy a bit of quiet R&R in the beautiful surroundings of North Wales.

Opening times: March until October

Number of pitches: 110

What's great about the local area near Cae Du Campsite?
There are plenty of walks from the campsite including the peaks of Snowdon, Moel Hebog and Cnicht, or more leisurely valley walks. There are fishing rights on the river passing through the site. Mountain bikes can be hired from Beddgelert Bikes. There are many attractions within easy reach of the campsite including castles at Caernarfon and Criccieth, Portmeirion, and the steam railways of the Snowdon Mountain Railway, Welsh Highland Railway, and Ffestiniog Railway.

The site is only a few minutes' walk from Beddgelert over fields, along the river and down a little county lane, so take a torch with you if you plan to wander down in the evening. The village has plenty of shops for supplies and places to eat if you don't fancy campsite cooking, and there are two good pubs with seats in the sun to enjoy a drink after a hard day exploring Snowdonia.
