Liked The campsite is well kept, clean and in an excellent location, close to lots of beautiful beaches. We visited Trefor beach/harbour which was stunning and only a 4 minute drive from the campsite. Mary the owner was so accommodating, and a really lovely lady. The campsite is small so not overcrowded or commercialised, it was perfect.
Disliked Nothing.
From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review.
Lovely meeting you and your family. Glad you enjoyed yourselves.
Amazing site at amazing value!

Liked Pitches were great, plenty of space and easy to pitch. Owner is a genuinely lovely person who works hard to provide great facilities for all: Electric hook-up, plenty of drinking water stations, toilets, showers, dish washing area and laundry- everything kept lovely and clean! The site is a central location to explore local areas of interest. Penlon provides all you need for a great stay! So much so, we have booked our return visit for a few weeks time. Diolch yn fawr iawn Mary 🙂
From the manager: Thank you for a lovely review.
So glad you and your family enjoyed your 2nd visit here.
See you all again in a few weeks.
Diolch Sara, edrych ymlaen i dy weld yn fuan.
Great value site to relax in with plenty of space between units.

Liked Lovely site, easy to get in and out of, spotlessly clean facilities and a lovely homely welcome from Mary and a cheery wave when she did her rounds. Stunning views in every direction, fairly level pitches, we had no need to use levellers and the grass was nice and short.
Very well placed to explore all of the Llyn peninsula, and some of Mary’s regular stayers on the site were helpful in recommending particular places to visit. We will be back, it’s a great base to stay.
Disliked Absolutely nothing.
From the manager: Thank you for a lovely review.
Glad you enjoyed your stay, and hopefully will see you again.
Lovely meeting you both.
