What customers say
A clean, peaceful spot with great hill and sea views. Friendly owner Mary keeps facilities spotless and pitches spacious. Perfect for Llyn Peninsula adventures. Note some road noise, slight slopes on pitches, and coin-operated showers. Great for a relaxing getaway.

Liked Amazing views. Huge pitches and you can pick where you want to be. Mary is lovely and leaves you to it. Plenty of hook ups. Lovely local walks.
Disliked The toilets needed some TLC - just a good clean. The road gives noise throughout the night, but not too busy that it will keep you awake.
