Penrhiw Uchaf Caravan Site

Positiv Lovely sunny (when it wasn’t raining) peaceful site well off the beaten track The pitches are on a 10m ish wide strip of gravel with a small stream on one side and a grassy bank on the other. All pitches have power and a tap. Sinks and toilets were clean but could do with a bit of maintenance. Overall the site is tired but if you want peace and quiet away from everything then it is great.

Negativ the single track approach road we came on is twisty windy with few passing places if you have a big rig then expect a challenge but we saw very little traffic . The pitches are level ish no but we had to use ramps where we were, we didn’t use our awning so don’t know how easy it would be to get the pegs in. The facilities are retro with 2 ex welfare /festival toilet and shower units clad and roofed with profile sheet. The showers are on or off with no temperature control but were warm. If you are a “larger” person then they will be a tight fit. The chemical and grey waste disposal room was very rough.

Positiv As stated in my previous response, liked it loads… so much so that we extended our stay for an extra couple of nights we were having such wonderful time!

Positiv Great location to explore and discover the lllandudno/ Conwy/ Colwyn Bay Area. Peaceful, tranquil site with clean and functional facilities. Debbie, site owner could not have been more friendly and welcoming and helpful in making our stay so good.. Thank you..😊

Positiv Fantastic quiet site off the beaten track with good clean facilities, arrived to find we actually had a water and TV aerial hookup which was great and unexpected.

The owners are so accommodating and check up on the site regularly, as well as taking the time to chat, it’s also within a few miles of essential amenities and beautiful countryside.

The site was absolutely everything we expected it to be and more.

I did notice some others have disliked the access road, I have to say our 24 year old VW transporter had absolutely no problem pulling our 1.5 tonne caravan up the bank which I must say is not steep at all

Negativ Having to leave….

Positiv Nice and quiet place, friendly service, close to the beach and the mountains

Negativ The entrance to the park is a bit steep, but it's not a big problem.

Positiv We loved this site! We'd read the reviews and weren't expecting too much but honestly, if you want somewhere peaceful, simple and safe then this place is grand.

Particularly liked:

* The location - stunning countryside and the most glorious view of Conwy Castle on the approach to the site. Just minutes from Llandudno, Conwy, Bodnant Gardens etc
* Comms - Debbie was communicative before our trip, and checked in to the site daily while we were there. During our stay, we had one minor query but we called Roger and it was sorted within about 10 minutes.
* Showers - plenty of hot water and impressive water pressure. Clean too - some reviews comment that they are basic, but they have a hairdryer and plenty of pegs for clothes etc so are already streets ahead of sites costing twice as much.
* Laid-back vibe - it felt safe letting the kids roam (a tyre swing! Blackberry bushes!), they could play without us feeling anxious about traffic etc, and there are none of those miserable signs you sometimes get all over sites telling you what you are not allowed to do. Other campers were equally relaxed and it felt like a warm little community.
* Sheltered location - the site is in a valley and the pitches are overlooked by a grassy bank so there is no wind
* Bird life - so many birds! We had the Merlin app open and were able to identify about 12 different birdsongs (including a hobby and a firecrest)
* Dark sky - perfect for watching the Perseids meteor shower

Positiv The owners were helpful and friendly

Negativ Campers arriving late at night 10pm making lots of noise and causing disturbance. Times to arrive is 12pm to 7pm apparently. Toilets and showers could do with an update tbh. No WiFi option

Positiv Pretty view from caravan.
Individual taps per pitch.

Negativ Access to the site is along a single track road, woe betide if you meet a vehicle coming the other direction.
Access to camping area is over a narrow bridge which is tricky with a long vehicle and long caravan - and way harder getting out as there isn't space to turn while towing a caravan without driving on the grassy slope which can be slippery - which we found to our cost.
The pitches are essentially along the stoney road, so cars drive very close to the awnings as the drive on and off the site.
The toilets need updating for the 21st century. I don't think they were cleaned in the 4 days we were there. Certainly the paper towel dispenser was never empty throughout our stay. (The only method of drying your hands). The elsan disposal was the most disgusting I have experienced in the last 30 years - which includes stays at several festival sites!
Communication from the owners was extremely poor, before we arrived we asked to stay another couple of nights as our plans had changed. They said they weren't sure and would text us. No text in the next 4 days. We considered it a lucky escape.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Obviously that is your personal opinion of it site. On the other hand, I think this is a bit too much, the toilets are cleaned every day. Whoever makes a mess during the day isn’t my fault. I don’t remember you asking for another couple of nights, if the site wasn’t to your taste, can I ask why you asked to stay another two nights!! I did try to communicate with you every morning as I drive passed, but I didn’t get much of a reply. As I said I don’t remember you asking for the extra two nights.

Positiv Small quiet site, friendly owner

Positiv Great littler secluded spot. Quiet and basic. Perfect for a stopover on our travels

Negativ There was nothing to dislike about the campsite itself it had everything you could need.
The journey however to get to it is very steep. Our poor clutch 🙈
