What customers say
Spectacular mountain and sea views, perfect for exploring Llyn Peninsula. Mary, the owner, is a highlight – friendly and helpful. Facilities are clean and well-kept. While some tents experience road noise, most found it peaceful and great value. Pitches are good, but levelling chocks might be handy higher up.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Highly recommended site.
Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Great site, well placed and at a very reasonable price. Mary, the owner, was extremely helpful - particularly when our 3400kg Campervan got stuck and we’d left our tow rope at home😔 (*Don’t park at the bottom end in a heavy van after days of rain).
A quick call to the neighbouring farmer John and we were out of trouble.
Excellent facilities and recommended.
Great to meet you Mary, thanks very much for your help.

The mirror in the 2nd shower room had to be taken down. Waiting for a new one to be installed. There is a mirror in the other shower room.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked Mary is a lovely lady with a great sense of humour. She met us at the gate and explained everything we needed to know then let us pick our own pitch. The shower/toilet and laundry rooms are spacious and immaculately clean. There are amazing views from the campsite and a circular walk in the woods behind the site that shouldn't be missed.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Smallish peaceful and friendly site, lovely location, big pitches, could choose where to pitch. Good communication from owner prior to arrival and friendly and helpful when arrived and during stay. Clean facilities and useful indoor utility room with kettle, sink for washing up, washing machine and dryer. Handy for us as we were walking/backpacking the Llyn Peninsula coastal path with a small tent. We would stay again.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked We have stayed at this site twice now and have had a great experience both times. The pitches are spacious and there is plenty of space for the children to run around and play. The whole site was very, very clean. The facilities are great, toilets and showers are regularly cleaned and the utility room is spotless. The view from site is amazing, and Mary is a wonderful host. We can’t wait for our next visit.
