  • 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 small, peaceful campsite offers beautiful views and friendly, helpful owners. Facilities, including toilets and showers, are consistently reported as clean and well-maintained, though some reviews mention a charge for showers. While some guests highlight the quiet location and value for money, others note the lack of WiFi and washing-up facilities. A recurring theme in August 2024 reviews mentioned issues with dogs roaming the site, with the manager stating they did not belong to them and that the local council had been informed. Newer reviews do not mention this issue.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Our pitch was superb and at £20 per night, including electrical link up, was excellent value. An excellent benefit, solely by luck was that we were the only visitors for the three night stay. In addition the small toilet and HOT shower block was spotless .
On top of all this our host was wonderful and seriously helped us out of a very difficult caravan problem.

Disliked The rain and wind.😊

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked We have stayed here a couple of times now and it’s a lovely place with nice views also nice a quiet no traffic noise etc. The host is lovely and always there to greet you.

Disliked Only issue is no signal or wifi connection, we managed fine and the host advised it’s because the site is in the sticks. Which is understandable

Liked Beautiful site with exceptional facilities. Hot showers and clean toilets.

Disliked Showers were £1 for 5 minutes, which is pretty expensive compared to other sites we have used. WiFi is advertised but we were never offered the code.

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.

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.
