Julie S.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (sea view)

Liked The position of the camping area. The offer to stay in the Bakery as our tent poles were broken

Disliked The high winds when we arrived, did not enable us to put our tent up as the poles all snapped, but nothing to do with you, just nature.

Dandelion camping pod

Liked Dandelion hut did not disappoint, we also had the weather on our side 🥵 ☀️ everywhere was spotless. Absolute heaven! Beach within a stones throw away if you swim a few feet out you’d find sand under your feet. We spent most of our stay paddle boarding. We will definitely be returning 100%

Disliked I couldn’t fault a thing!

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (sea view)

Liked 2nd time staying such a beautiful spot

Disliked Limited facilities due to wedding prep and the barn had list a little of its charm

but pitch 1&2 exposed to high winds

Felt a little bit in the way rather than welcomed this time

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (sea view)

Liked Lovely stay!
Enjoyed a beer in the bar on the Friday and the food looked amazing.
All facilities clean and good standard.
Little one loved the park.
Loads of space for kids to run around and bits to explore.

Local attractions

It’s quiet at the nearby Trefor beach (10 minutes' drive) and that’s part of what makes it such a fine spot for sea fishing. You might get hooked on all sorts of watersports locally too, particularly in Abersoch (half an hour), where surfing and wakeboarding are some of the ways to get your hair wet, or the 'Whistling Sands' at Porthor beach (45 minutes), which has fab surfing conditions. Away from the sand, first-timers could put their balance to the test with a lesson on the surf lagoon at Adventure Parc Snowdonia (an hour) too. Of course, there are all sorts of other activities all around the Snowdonia National Park (20 minutes), so when you’re looking for a way to wind things down, perhaps with a lighter walk, you could take in the turrets of Caernarfon Castle (20 minutes) or the smaller Bryn Bras Castle (20 minutes). Back to the coast, though, fishing villages are a fancy way to spend the way pottering around the shore. Porthdinllaen (20 minutes) has a beach and the popular Tŷ Coch Inn, while Portmeirion (half an hour) is modelled on Italian architecture, with sub-tropical gardens and a splendid spa, shops and eateries.
