Liked The beautiful view. Kind, helpful and attentive owners. The space for the pitch was wonderful and the space for the children to play was great! The river and “pool” area was fantastic for a cold water dip every morning.

Ian G.

Unpowered grass caravan site

Liked I liked the laid back nature of the campsite with plenty of space to pitch up where i chose.

Disliked slightly noisy generator in the middle for hook ups so you need to park away if you are in a tent.

Liked The location is close to many beaches and was ideal for all our plans.
Firepits and bbqs are allowed and they provide firewood at £5 for logs and £5 for kindling..
Showers were clean, hot water with pressure and adequate for the many campers on site.

Disliked The toilets for some reason have no doors.

The electric hook-ups are all in one row in the middle of the park..making the area overcrowded around the hookups..
The ground was level but the grass was overgrown in most places, even though there was an attempt to cut the grass whilst we we there ..

Local attractions

Guests with one foot in the past will find plenty nearby to keep them entertained. Start by poking around the ruins of Cymer Abbey, 10 minutes’ drive away, before diving into ancient Welsh legend beneath the earth in King Arthur’s Labyrinth, chugging along tracks on one of the local heritage narrow gauge railways, and exploring the spectacularly sited Harlech Castle, all within 45 minutes of base. Prefer the wind in your hair? Pick up speed on the ziplines at Zip World Slate Caverns and on the downhill biking trails at Antur Stiniog, both about 40 minutes away, or stick closer to home (10 minutes) to keep eyes peeled for low-flying jets at the famed Mach Loop. Outdoorsy types may want to travel the 20 minutes to Cregennan Lakes instead, where there are lots of trails to traipse along, as well as two lakes for trout fishing. Not your bag? The subtropical Portmeirion Gardens 40 minutes away are an absolute must for budding horticulturalists – be sure to explore this ‘Gwyltt’ (Welsh for wildwood) thoroughly, as there are secret gardens, a derelict castle and even a graveyard to root out.
