Do the Snowdon Sherpa buses go past the campsite?
There is a network of bus routes known as the Snowdon Sherpa around the Snowdon group of peaks. This includes a route from Caernarfon through Beddgelert and up the Nantgwynant valley past the campsite to Pen-y-Pass (route S4) and another from Porthmadog to Betws-y-Coed which also passes the site (route 97/97A). You can find the routes and timetables for the local buses (Snowdon Sherpa) at http://www.gwynedd.gov.uk .These timetables operate on their peak schedule from 23rd May to 25th September. The buses will stop and pickup from the main A498 road near the campsite entrance on request. You can use the bus to get up the hill to Pen-y-Pass for a walk up Snowdon via the PYG or Miners track (thus saving the parking fee at Pen-y-Pass) or to pick you up at the end of a walk from Nantgwynant up Snowdon and down to Llanberis or Rhyd Ddu.
