Powered grass tent or motorhome site
Liked Five star camping for cleanliness, facilities and welcome. Such a lovely site. Close to lots of places of interest and no request is too much trouble for the hosts. All campsites should use this as a bench mark as how a site should be run.

Very good well run, worth going again (with some requests).
Powered grass tent or trailer tent site
Liked Its a central location on the Llyn Peninsula, having a car is essential (even if the train station was closer, they are very infrequent) and so travel by car to most destinations is convenient. We got some local advice from Juliette to avoid a couple spots at the weekend as they can be very busy so we changed our plans as needed.
Having water taps directly by the pitches (we had one on the electric pole) is an excellent idea. The inside bathrooms, the ones accessed from the kitchen area, are easily the nicest on the site with lots of room. A little shelf in there could help though (there’s never enough places to balance things!).
I only used the kitchen (other than washing up) once so I can't really comment on that - we do have an electric stove, kettle, BBQ etc for our own cooking. The pitch was very large, plenty of room for the tent, awning and car.
Llanystumdwy has a real hidden gem in the Lloyd George museum, I'd really recommend that. The pub is being refurbished so hopefully that opens soon
The site is very clean and well kept, Juliette and Leigh are very friendly and happy to help.
Not a could have been better, just advice for future, the rabbit farm next door is a working business and can be noisy from early on. This didn't bother us but the corner pitch we had (#2 I think) is the closest and worth avoiding if that might bother you.
Disliked (This from my mum) The bathrooms only seemed to have 1 hairdryer between them, and on the last day that particular one had been locked as it was quiet so she said it was a good job she'd washed it the night before. I don't mind facilities closing down towards end of season, but it really shouldn't block access to something and potentially a lower season rate could be applied.
Tents and Vans share the same space next to each other - the field isn't huge but there is room in the rear of the field (we noticed a couple of vans using it) that could help separate them - van dwellers can be very noisy, especially when in a tent - not just voices travelling from inside (I do think some of them think their vans are soundproof!) but the constant bang-bang-bang of doors and sliding openings does lead me to prefer sites that separate vans and tents.
I though £5 per night for a firepit/chimera seemed a little steep, other sites I have stayed at simply have them scattered around to use.
