  • Peaceful family-run Llŷn Peninsula campsite
  • In a quiet village six miles' drive from Aberdaron beach
  • Modern amenities block on site; pub within 20 minutes' walk
Centrally located on the Llŷn Peninsula is a likely location to be remotely and peacefully set for a Welsh countryside stay, which is what's offer at small and family-run Criw Touring Caravan and Camp Site, in the quiet village of Bryncroes and a short drive from miles of several safe and sandy beaches. Country walks, horse trekking, sailing, fishing, climbing, cycling and more are all easily accessed in the countryside all around, and Snowdonia National Park is within about an hour's drive. If you're more of a seaside sort, Criw is six miles from Aberdaron and 10 from Pwllheli. The site's modern amenities block has separate ladies' and gents areas (each with two toilets and two showers, plus a basin, hand dryer and mirror), and there's also a fresh water supply and a chemical disposal point. Satellite TV and wifi are available, but please note that because of the site's peacefully remote location, the wifi signal is limited and you should bring a receiver for your TV if you want to use it. Criw is about 20 minutes' walk via a quiet country lane from its local village of Sarn, which has a couple of decent pubs (one serving food), a post office/garage and the village shop to sort supplies to bring back for the barbie.

What customers say

This is a quiet, basic campsite offering good value with clean facilities and pleasant views. Guests appreciated the friendly owner and the peaceful atmosphere. Showers are coin-operated and generally well-received, though some mentioned the lack of a washing-up area. The site is well-located for exploring the peninsula. Some reviews noted intermittent WiFi and an issue with dogs on-site, which the manager stated is being addressed.

Liked Lovely campsite and very spacious in a beautiful setting.
Shower and toilet facilities were very clean.

Disliked I couldnt seem to find anywhere to wash my dishes and also there was a £1 charge for the showers which wasnt ideal but the showers were warm and stayed on for a while.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The shower, albeit cost a £1 was hot and lasted a fair while. There were three areas for pitches with the lower level being sheltered from the wind. It is a basic site and if all you want to do is sit out and chill then this is the site for you. It was hard to find and had to ring the owner to obtain precise location. It states WIFI but the signal was intermittent, basically not existant. Not much in the area either.

 Cody P. 1 review

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Everything!! We arrived bank holiday Sunday and left today (Thursday) & everyone else left bank holiday Monday so we had the WHOLE site to ourselves.. Toilets/shower areas were always clean & stocked with toilet roll. We took 2 of our frenchies and they had the best time running through the grass! Listening to the cows mooing/birds tweeting whilst having perfect view of the sunset was the best!! Definitely would return!

Disliked We didnt take any activities, and as the weather was phenomenal, it was too hot to stay away from the site for too long with the dogs! Would recommend taking some form of activity/entertainment for evenings

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Nothing

Disliked Everything, seemingly someone’s back garden, paid up front with pitch up was quoted a 20meter x 20 meter pitch was given a pitch 8 meter wide max behind toilet/ shower block and around 8 dustbins with flies and wasps everywhere, water tap was behind a caravan about 15 meters away so hose wouldn’t reach.
So in a nut shell , steer well clear of this place go to a site in Aberdeen Morgan Mawr great site very clean with great views .

Local attractions

The main town on the peninsula, Pwllheli, is about 20 scenic minutes away by car and comes with beaut sandy beaches, a leisure centre, marina, cinema, supermarkets, bus depot and a railway station, as well as an 18-hole golf course and the means to arrange both fishing and boating. Fishing, boating and a golf course of the same size are at neighbouring Abersoch too, also within a short drive. It's a popular place with younger holidaymakers, who come for jetskiing, powerboat racing, wakeboarding and other watersports; the famed Wakestock Festival is held here annually. This is also spectacular hiking land, so ditch the car for a day and have a go at the Llŷn Coastal Path stretch from Pwllheli to Abersoch in one direction and Pwllheli to Criccieth – and then on to Porthmadog – in the other.
