Buses: There is a Gwynedd Council bus from Bangor (where there is a train station on the main line to Euston) to Llanberis and you can get a Sherpa bus to the campsite from there. The Sherpa buses are a network of bus routes around the Snowdon group of peaks which includes a route from Llanberis to Pen y Pass and another from Caernarfon through Beddgelert and up the Nantgwynant valley past the campsite to Pen-y-Pass. 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 it can pick you up at the end of a walk from Nantgwynant up Snowdon and down to Llanberis or Rhyd Ddu.  Check out the regular buses on the bus timetable page of the Gwynedd Council website or use a third party website such as Traveline-cymru or even Rome2rio to find up to date timetable details.

Zip World Velocity at Bethesda includes a pair of zip lines a mile long, where riders can exceed 100mph, 500ft high and experience the nearest thing to flying.  Zip World Titan opened in June 2014 at Llechwedd Slate Caverns, near the historic slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. This is the first 4 person zip line in Europe and the combination of Velocity and Titan makes North Wales the zip line capital of the world. Bounce Below, Junior Bounce and Zip World Caverns, three incredible underground adventures, are also located at Llechwedd Slate Caverns.2016 brings an additional Zip World location to the map with the acquisition of Tree Top Adventure, now to be known as Zip World Fforest. With more adventures in the pipeline, Zip World is most definitely the ultimate destination for the Year of Adventure.
