Excellent campsite, highly recommended
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Amazing campsite, one of the best we have been to. Very well maintained site with large pitches. The facilities were great - freezer, fridges, washing up area, chiminea/firepits for hire, plus lots of local info which was helpful. Everything was spotlessly clean. The site is on the smaller side which provides a relaxed, quiet and friendly atmosphere. Good location to explore North Wales. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Just spent two nights at the Paddocks camp site and I must say the peace and quiet was that good I’d thought I’d gone to heaven. The camp site owners are very genuine, honest and informative people, nothing was too much trouble for them (including lending me hammer) the Paddock was absolutely immaculate, not one scrap of litter, and the grass mown to perfection. The amenities were outstanding, the cleanliness of the showers and toilets and the communal areas were fabulous better than some 5 star hotels I have stayed in. I will definitely recommend this site to friends and I can’t wait to return. Thank you.

Liked Shortly after arriving, I was pleasantly surprised. After speaking to the owner, I learned that we had a kettle, fridge, and microwave for our use. The toilets and showers were very clean. The campsite was very well-maintained, with Wi-Fi access. The owner was kind and helpful.

Liked Pitch up notes for the Paddocks
Well, where do we start? It’s not very often that you can say a campsite is perfect in your own eyes, but The Paddocks is one of those! On arrival we were greeted by Juliette with a big smile and, full of helpfulness, she took time to show us all the site had to offer; showers, toilets, washing facilities and Wi-Fi etc and then she took us to our large, allocated pitch. We had a non electric pitch and there were already a few tents and camper vans dotted around. It looked perfect, the grass was nice and short with very few cuttings laying around. During our stay we watched as Leigh maintained the site daily. The other half of the site had some hard standings and services plus electric for tents and camper vans. The facilities were also of the highest standard and meticulously clean. The powerful hot showers and toilets were what you would have in your own home. These were all situated in a large building containing the washing up area with all the sundries supplied, washing up liquid, sponges, cloths, brushes etc. Also in the room was a large wooden picnic bench style table, a microwave, kettle, a fridge freezer with ice and water as well as another freezer and fridge. There were even bags, stickers and pens for us to use to label and store our food. It would be a very welcome space if the weather was inclement. There were packets with coffee and tea for sale in case you ran out, milk and eggs were also for sale (both chicken and duck). You could hire BBQ’s, fire pits and chiminea or just buy logs, coals and firefighters if you ran out. Juliette and Leigh are the perfect hosts, nothing was too much for either of them; in fact we had some very high winds one day and a couple of pegs came loose on our tent, so Leigh went over and sorted it out for us while we were away. I could continue writing more great stuff about this site, but my suggestion would be just book up and enjoy it! Thank you to both for making our Welsh holiday so lovely, see you again the future Jeremy and Alison.
