Barcdy Touring Caravan and Camping Park

Positiv Lots of places to camp up, with nearly every spot having access to a picnic bench which is nice. Showers and toilets clean. Had an extra room for washing up and a washer and dryer and plugs to charge phone or power bank with which was nice.

Negativ The road coming out is quite hard to see traffic coming.
One hand dryer in toilets not very strong.

Positiv Location was great. Not far from Portmerion & Porthmadog. Site is clean and facilities are well maintained. Great to have freezers for our ice blocks. Price is unbeatable.

Negativ Have to pay for wifi.

Positiv The views were amazing.
The pitches were flat and well spaced.
It was a very good centre from which to visit a lot of interesting venues.

Negativ Parking .
We and at least 2 of our fellow caravaners/motorhomers chose to park on our pitches in a way that allowed us access to the services.
After erecting our awning we were instructed to turn our caravan around as it had to face the same way as the one other on site.
This faux pas could have been averted if we had been instructed on which way to park when we booked in.
Once turned around we had to try and match our pipework to the pitch layout to access the grey water disposal.
It took 7 metres of pipework!
The water in the handbasins in the shower block was cold and the hand drier useless.
Would we stay here again.
Probably not.
There are plenty of other sites in the area and I hope to find a better managed one next time.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Mr Bryant. We are dissapointed you wouldnt stay with us again. When you site your caravan on a pitch, it is sited on a hardstanding with a small piece of grass that you can use for relaxing outside, if you turn your caravan to have 2 doors facing you then have to share that small relaxing area with with your neighbour, that may be fine with you but your neighbour may not be to happy.
the caravans are sited in such a way to maximise the beautiful view over the estuary and to give a bit of privacy outide of your caravan.
Clear instructions are given on arrival as to how to pitch your caravan and help offered if needed, you chose to ignore this and when it was noticed you were the wrong way, the staff offered assistance to help you turn your van.
I have checked the hot water in the shower room and it is fine, it runs off the same boiler as the rest of the taps. The hand drier also works.
You came to the reception on several occasions to purchase different things but failed to mention any problems. We do find that some people choose to get "revenge by review" if they are asked to do something they didnt want to do.

Positiv A spotless site. Tent pitches are very spacious and staff very friendly. The childrens play area is enough to keep younger children happy. Toliets and showers are very clean. We would definately return to this site again if camping in this area. Porthmaddog very close for supermarkets but car needed.

Positiv Good facilities, sensible layout of the camping pitches and generous space for each, the team were helpful but also laid back. The site was well generally maintained and fairly smart.

There were multiple drinking water taps along the camping field which were also convenient. Amenities slightly better than some others I've been with washing machines, driers, hair driers and a coffee machine. Some essential supplies were also available from the tiny reception.

Would definitely come back again - in fact already planning to.

Negativ Didn't really dislike anything - though I'd caution that there must be around 100 pitches here and if they were full I think wash block would prove rather too small. However, wasn't busy when I was there so it was no issue.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Sian. We do not usually reply to reviews but would like to explain.
We do not offer a fridge as we are a site with 90 units, Improper storage or handling of food in a communal fridge can lead to the transfer of bacteria from one item to another. My advice is to bring a cooler box with freezer blocks, we do offer a freezer to refreeze your blocks and borrow some of our blocks while your own are freezing.

BBQ's are allowed however they must be at lease 10 inches off the ground to prevent scorching of the grass, disposable BBQ's do not meet this criteria and have in the past caused fires in the recycling area, this information is available on PitchUP prior to booking.

Had you have checked in on arrival instead of going straight to a pitch the code for the toilets would have been explained along with a welcome letter with all the information you require.
