What customers say
Stunning mountain & sea views, perfect Llyn Peninsula base. Friendly, helpful owner Mary praised. Clean facilities. Some road noise (tents) but mostly peaceful & great value. Good pitches, levelling chocks handy higher up.

Liked Ideal location to explore the Llyn Peninsula. Facilities are are and it has everything you need. The lady, Mary, who runs the place is lovely.
Pro Tip….stay at the bottom of the hill by the trees and where it’s flat and quieter from the main road.
Disliked No WiFi but there was signal no so big deal

Spectacular views!
Powered grass caravan site
Liked The views from this site are incredible! You have mountains and the ocean to choose from! The drive is very easy, in such a spectacular part of Wales. We saw lots of people heading off for hikes from the site. If you’re at the bottom of the site, the pitches look flat. However, if there’s no pitches available and you need to be the other side, I would recommend taking some leveling chocks! The owner was super friendly and helpful!
Disliked The toilets/shower were okay.
Some people could potentially be bothered by the road noise. We stayed in a van and I woke up a few times in the night to road noise, so it could be louder for those in a tent. But it’s all worth it for the views!

Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Everything is clean. Showers and toilets. Pretty-flat pitches (mostly). Re-cycle waste disposal. Showers accept 20p & £1 coins, soap, toilet paper and paper towels, at time of writing a really good shower costs 60p. Better than most campsites. Close to beach, Post office for cash withdrawalls within 1 mile. Same as the corner shop.
