  • 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.

Mandi R.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The campsite was lovely. A small sight so even on the first night when we got there and was almost full it didn't seem too busy. After the first day we were only one of two campers so was lovely.

Owner very friendly, came to see us to our pitch

Very clean toilets (open all night) with shower facilities (didn't use them but were £1 for 5 mins)

waste disposal and plenty of bins

Locations is very central to the peninsula so easy access to both sides and plenty of beaches. Not far off the main road so wasnt to tricky to get the caravan there

Very cheap for fully serviced pitch !

Disliked Not a dislike but have washing up facilities would be an added bonus

Again not a dislike but the neighbours dog did come wondering around the site and did a few poos (neighbour didn't come looking for the dog until hours later)

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely quiet and peaceful site with a gorgeous view. Clean toilets. Super helpful on the phone. Plenty of space a lovely level pitch and grassy area for putting chairs out by the side of the van. A great pub just a short walk away. This was our first ever campervan pitch and it was perfect!

Disliked Nothing!

Liked Simple site with lovely views of surrounding hills with electric hookups and water and a small but clean and well maintained toilet and shower block. Showers take £1 coins.

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.
