    Advice please for Campsites in Snowdonia

    I'm planning a long weekend into North Wales and would appreciate any advice/experience on campsites in Snowdonia.
    Not too bothered if its basic or plush as long as its biker friendly!

    All help appreciated
    Cheers, Norm.

    lets have a think then...

    Llanberis pass - there are a couple of sites in Nant Peris near the Vaynol Arms pub.

    Ogwen area - there is a simple farm site on the A5, on the left above the road as you approach Tryfan from Capel Curig. No pub nearby.

    Cadair Idris/Dolgellau area: Thomas Camping - a nice field just through the gate at the back of the car park where the footpath goes up Cadair +52° 43' 12.59", -3° 55' 49.65". Gwernan Lake Hotel about 1 mile away. Bats in the hedges on summer evenings. Awesome view of the mountain.

    Eric's Cafe at Tremadog.

    Cae Du campsite on the coast S of Fairbourne, just where the A493 turns inland.

    Shell Island... but don't go ripping up those dunes....

    Shell Island doesn't allow bikes anymore and has gone rediculously expensive

    02 RD07a RWB, Powerbronze tall screen, Remus Grand Prix, TT crash bars, TT pannier frame, Zega style panniers, Alpos top box,TT bar risers, TT headlamp guard, Heated grips, mainstand, Heidenau K60s for road and light offroad, TKC80s for the dirty stuff, Scottoiler, Autocomm, TT Zumo mount, Zumo 550 and most of all A BIG GRIN !!! Oh, and a very nice RD04 HRC coloured Marathon Replica
