What customers say

Stunning mountain & ocean views, great for Llyn Peninsula exploration. Mary's a legend for friendliness! Showers/toilets spotless. Occasional road noise for tents, but mostly peaceful & top value. Pitches decent, levelling chocks handy higher up.

Liked Smallish peaceful and friendly site, lovely location, big pitches, could choose where to pitch. Good communication from owner prior to arrival and friendly and helpful when arrived and during stay. Clean facilities and useful indoor utility room with kettle, sink for washing up, washing machine and dryer. Handy for us as we were walking/backpacking the Llyn Peninsula coastal path with a small tent. We would stay again.

Liked We have stayed at this site twice now and have had a great experience both times. The pitches are spacious and there is plenty of space for the children to run around and play. The whole site was very, very clean. The facilities are great, toilets and showers are regularly cleaned and the utility room is spotless. The view from site is amazing, and Mary is a wonderful host. We can’t wait for our next visit.

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked Everything!!! It has been the most fantastic camping trip! I was not looking forward to camping after 2 bad experiences, however Mary is such a lovely lady and a fantastic host, she made me feel at ease straight away.
The site is in the most amazing spot, mountains on both sides and a sea view and within easy reach to the most amazing beaches, What more could you want! Pwllheli and Caernarfon are both a short drive away.
The toilets and showers (payable using a meter, which was an extremely generous amount of time for your money) were very clean, well stocked with toilet roll, soaps and hand towels, Mary didn't let these run out at all. The utility room was also great with a washer and dryer there was even a kettle in there.
When leaving Mary made the effort to come down to have a chat and say goodbye, which we really appreciated. We will definitely be back.

Disliked Absolutely nothing, its a fantastic place to camp!
