What customers say

This chilled rural campsite gets the big ups for its bonza views, roomy spots, and legend owners. Facilities are always clean, with hot showers and composting loos. It's a bit out of the way for some, but a ripper spot to explore nearby beaches. A few found the signs a bit daggy and some spots a tad sloped. Still, a top recommendation for its quiet vibes and fair dinkum value.

Liked Welcoming and friendly host, really nice and quiet campsite with stunning views. Spacious pitches, clean toilets, hot shower. Not overcrowded. Will be returning

Disliked Not a dislike, but advise for future campers -do not miss the signpost. The postcode brings your further down which is not the campiste

Matthew G.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked The views. Clean toilets, shower block and washing area. Proximity to many great beaches. Large pitches. Lots of space. Remote yet accessible.

Disliked The slope on the pitch. Poor signage - a little difficult to find the site and where the on site fridge/freezer were located. Playground area had seen better days.

Lucy P.

Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site

Liked Lovely peaceful site with stunning views. Very friendly welcome, free showers, very clean and well kept site. I shall definitely be going back.

Disliked The directions to find the site were a bit sketchy, the sign for the turn off was covered over by undergrowth so I missed the turning. It's a very narrow lane so not very easy to find somewhere to turn round. A quick call to the owner put me back on track.

Local attractions

With mountains and a gorgeous fishing village as your backdrop, dips are pretty splendid at Trefor beach (10 minutes' drive)… but that’s not the only place on the coast that will be calling your name from Penllechog Camping. Pretty Portmeirion (35 minutes) has Italianate-style architecture, a spa and laidback strolls across the village, while Abersoch (30 minutes) is a sailing haven with boat trips to St Tudwal or coastal walks leading the way to further adventure. The sandy stretch in Nefyn is another rather attractive option. When you want some sort of adventure without delay, there’s direct access to a trail to Gurn Ddu (a hill with great views over the sea). Otherwise, sling a picnic in your bag and make off for a castle of your choosing: the coastal Criccieth Castle (25 minutes) or medieval Caernarfon Castle (30 minutes) perhaps? If it’s thrills you’re after, then GreenWood Family Park (40 minutes) or Zip World Slate Caverns (an hour) will fulfil those – the latter has huge zipwires or underground trampolines for a unique day out.
