  • Pet-friendly; dog-walking area and kids' playground on site
Bring on lazy beach days, scenic walks and peaceful nights under the stars. Llwyn Bugeilydd Caravan and Camping Site, set just a five-minute drive from the seaside town of Criccieth in North Wales, is a laidback, family-friendly site with spacious pitches and lots of open countryside. Stroll into town in around 20 minutes to reach the beach, grab an ice cream or check out the sunset views beneath the castle.

What customers say

This is a clean, quiet, and well-maintained campsite with spacious, level pitches and beautiful views. Owners are frequently described as friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are generally reported as clean. There is a dedicated dog exercise field and a play area for children. The site is a short walk (approximately 15-20 minutes) to Criccieth town centre and amenities, though some note the walk involves a section of road with no pavement. A few guests mentioned occasional noise from nearby dog kennels, and one review noted poor water pressure in showers. WiFi is generally good, although one guest experienced issues. Some feel the facilities could benefit from an update.

Electric hardstanding touring pitch

Liked We stayed for one night at this site. Its a lovely clean, level site. Very friendly hosts. But what was best for us was the wonderful dog exercise field, which is completely secure as our dog needs a good run around. Would definitely recommend this site.

Handy for the bus, T2 to Bangor will drop you off near campsite or a short walk to the bus stop taking you the other way.

Local attractions

Start your Welsh wanderings in Criccieth – there are often family-friendly events at the 15th-century castle, and there’s a small stretch of beach for paddling. A few minutes out of town, the Lloyd George Museum and Dwyfor Ranch Rabbit Farm and Animal Park are worth a trip. For more beaches, continue west to the Llyn Peninsula; Porthdinllaen, Abersoch and Pwllheli all have excellent sandy stretches, and there are heaps of coastal activities to get stuck into at activity centres over there. If you like a hike, you can reach the Wales Coast Path with a stroll of 20 minutes or so, or head to Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park for mountain scrambles or gentler rambles around the lakes and waterfalls. And if that’s all a bit much, there are scenic train rides to be had on the Snowdon Mountain Railway, the Ffestiniog Railway and the Welsh Highland Railway. For a spot of history and culture, half an hour’s drive will take you to pretty Portmeirion, Caernarfon Castle, Harlech Castle or Porthmadog’s Maritime Museum.
