Liked: Fantastic facilities and great location for Criccieth. We walked there and got the bus back.
Disliked: Traffic noise was really intrusive started really early in the morning and made it impossible to sleep. It may be better at the weekend as we think it was shift workers from the local laundry.

Electric grass motorhome or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Fantastic site, had everything you could want.
The pitches are large and as long as you are within your area can pitch which ever way suits you.
The facilities were spotless clean.
Lots of extras such as a microwave, toaster, phone charging, drinks fridge, food fridge and ice dispenser. Perfect for anyone camping without electricity.
Undercover dish washing area, that held the above extras, a long picnic bench and lots of info about the area including bus timetable.
There were eggs and milk available for purchase with ah honesty box, fire wood and fire pits available and delivered to your site if you wanted them.
The site was a 5/10 minute walk from the bus stop, we walked the coastal paths both ways and caught the bus back, which was reliable. The town and beach is about a 20 minute walk, with places to eat, drink and purchase shopping.
The hosts were very welcoming and friendly, happy to stop and chat.
If we were ever to visit north Wales again this would be the site we would book again, just a shame we are a 5 hour drive away. We have already recommended to our daughter for the summer.
Disliked: Nothing, couldn’t ask for a more perfect site.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Superb adults only, dog friendly campsite! The best facilities I have ever experienced camping. The bathrooms are more akin to Hotel or home style bathrooms, meaning your showers are excellent! The communal area had lots of free perks, such as communal kettle and toaster, washing up accessories and use of fridges and freezers. The campsite is immaculate. The owners take a lot of pride in their grass and facilities everywhere. It's great value for money. It was peaceful and in a good location for exploring the coastline - whether walking directly from the campsite or a short drive away. There is a dog friendly pub in the local village, in walking distance too. The pitches are 10m x 10m - huge! It felt like you had your own privacy from others and a pocket of beautiful space to enjoy. Finding an adults only dog friendly campsite is tricky as it is but one of this calibre is extremely rare.
Disliked: The only negative I can write is that the campsite is next to a road and depending on where your pitch is, you do hear vehicles travelling along it throughout the night. Though, the location of the campsite does suggest it could be an challenge. It wasn't heavy traffic but there was at least one passing along the road at any one time. Ear plugs worked a treat, if you're a light sleeper.
