What customers say
This tidy campsite has spotless facilities and large, flat pitches, often with ocean or mountain vistas. Guests loved the handy location, a short stroll to town and shops, and praised the welcoming, obliging staff. Though mostly clean, a few noted inconsistent shower temps and cleaning. Wind can be a concern. Great value, highly recommended.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews




















Great site and location with great facilities.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Site convenient, close to beach and center or Tywyn. Facilities fantastic with toilet block and showers, mostly clean but after a busy, hot weekend, was in need of a small tidy up but everything you needed was on site. The pitches were well kept and extremely spacious and Flat! Great scenic views.
Disliked Arrived, as a party of 4 (3 Separate bookings) within booking time, owner wasn't present. Tried to call several times to arrange a pitch and payment for our stay after several hours ride. No answer. Decided to find a pitch ourselves for the night. When owner came to collect remaining payment due around 8am, didn't believe we had booked, wouldn't listen to my partner who advised we'd booked via PitchUp and was quite rude, demanded payment for the full party in one payment which was inconvenient for us, but did so anyway. The only negative of the whole trip. Besides the screaming (singing) drunk girls at 2am, but ear plugs sorted them out.

Great camping and caravan site
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Spacious campsite always clean and tidy close to shops and walk to beach inside 20 minutes . Easy check in with friendly owner who made a us aware of race the train event and road closures which was nice to know and didn’t affect our trip
Disliked No dog walking area and some idiot arguing at 2 am and someone let off a couple of fireworks which terrified the dogs

Would be a good place to stay, but not at this weekend.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Flat pitch with nice views. Clean toilets and showers but too far away from tent field
Disliked The fact they knew large groups were coming to camp ahead of the "race the train" event at the steam railway. They were playing loud music and singing loudly until well after midnight. Spoke to the owner of the site when we arrived and she admitted this happens every year. She should not be hiring the site out to the general public and charging us good money knowing this is happening. Others staying here said the same as us this morning.

Nice campsite would stay again.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Second time I've stayed here. It's a very nice, clean and quiet campsite. Lots of space. Really nice staff there. Clean toilets and showers. Just out of the town so close to shops and public transport. For hikers like me its easy to get to Cader, Dolgoch, Panorama, Bird Rock from Tywyn for days out and a have a nice basecamp to return to for a hot shower.
