Me gustó Owner couldn't be more helpful, even came out to greet us in the pouring rain ! Quiet spacious pitches with lovely views over the fields and out to Snowdonia. Shop and pub a short walk away, and Newborough Sands not much further.

No me gustó No shower but with one on the motorhome didn't need one.

Del administrador: Hi Stephen, thank you for your review. We're delighted to hear that you find the site with the larger pitch suitable for you. With respect to the cafe, a breakfast menu and a daytime menu are used. On your visit to the cafe, we had already moved from breakfast service and on to lunch service. However, should a customer wish to order breakfast during the day or have any other particular request, the cafe staff will usually try their very best to accommodate this wherever possible.

Me gustó Lovely greeting on arrival, Nick is a fabulous host.
We like the fact that EHU is optional, so being off grid capable we saved money.
Generous pitch sizes, nice and flat.
The Whistle Stop cafe on site is Lovely.

No me gustó The only downside is the lack of a shower, but we have one in the MH, so didn't really effect us.

Me gustó Lovely welcome from Nick as he opened the gates following a quick phone call when we arrived. Site is perfectly flat, no need for levellers and easy access from the road. On site cafe, sadly it wasn’t open when we were there due to being so early in the season, but I think pizzas can be ordered as takeaways One toilet and one disabled toilet which were heated and spotlessly clean. There is no shower, but this is clearly stated on their website. There is a bus stop minutes away, although we didn’t use it this time. A short cycle ride away from the Lon Las Cefni cycle path and Maltraeth. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing stay, would definitely recommend and will be returning as soon as we can.

No me gustó Nothing to dislike.

Me gustó ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Stay at Afon Braint Campsite

We had a brilliant stay at Afon Braint campsite and will definitely be returning.

Nick, the owner, was incredibly friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived—nothing was too much trouble, and he really made us feel welcome.

The location itself is absolutely beautiful. You’re surrounded by stunning scenery, with incredible wildlife right on your doorstep. The nearby beaches are fantastic, and the whole area is rich in history, making it perfect whether you want to relax or explore.

A real hidden gem—highly recommended!

Me gustó Clean amenities

No me gustó unfortunately I had a very uncomfortable experience on arrival with a male member of staff.

Due to travel delays we arrived at 5:36pm and phoned the number in the booking email as instructed. We were told the site closed at 5pm, which already seemed quite unusual for a campsite. I apologised several times for being late and even offered to leave and find somewhere else if it caused a problem.

During the conversation he repeatedly reiterated that the 5pm closing time was stated in the booking information. After checking the Pitchup booking advert later, I could see it is technically listed, but it is buried within the policies section and not particularly obvious when making the booking, this was a last minute booking so it was something I had genuinely missed.

Despite apologising multiple times, my apologies were never acknowledged and the tone of the conversation remained abrupt and quite dismissive. It felt very much like being told off rather than simply being checked in.

The most uncomfortable part (and the reason for the 1 star rating) came when my husband joined us. His demeanour changed almost instantly. His tone became polite and friendly, and from that point on he directed everything to my husband. Even though I had been the one speaking with him and dealing with the booking, he essentially stopped acknowledging me altogether.

During the site briefing he continued addressing my husband while completely ignoring me, despite the fact we were both standing there. The change in tone and body language was very noticeable and it left me feeling quite uncomfortable and unwelcome.

I understand that arriving late may cause inconvenience, and I had already apologised several times and offered to leave if needed. However, the difference in how I was treated compared to my husband was very noticeable and disappointing.

As a woman who often travels and camps, I also feel it’s important to say that if I had been arriving alone, the interaction would have made me feel very uneasy about staying on the site.

For clarity, the entire interaction at the gate and briefing area was captured on our dashcam, so my review simply reflects what took place.

The site appears to have many positive reviews on here and also on Google, which is why we booked in the first place. However, I would encourage anyone considering staying here to also read some of the lower rated reviews and the responses to them to get a fuller picture of other guests’ experiences.

Based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable returning and felt it was important to share so others can make an informed decision when booking.

Del administrador: Melissa, I’m sorry that you had to wait at the main gate for a member of staff to come across to the site to let you in following a late arrival. From the offset, the need to wait to get on the site appeared to be an issue for you and you took objection to everything being said – I cannot recall finishing a single sentence during either the phone call or when opening the gate to let you in. You repeatedly interjected in an aggressive manner, including claims that the arrival information could not be seen on the Pitchup website or within the booking confirmation email provided by Pitchup. Prior to receiving this review I had actually reported your observations to Pitchup for investigation, so I appreciate the confirmation in this review that the information had indeed been provided to you; I shall forward this update to them. I have also been made aware that you have been using Pitchup for making bookings for a number of years now, so I am confused as to how you have come to the conclusion that you have (as I had been given the impression that you were new user of Pitchup). Given it is a standard feature for sites to have an arrival time, for me it does not follow what you said when you were here with us. To be frank, I found your argumentative approach to gaining access to the site very uncomfortable and it gave me concerns about the rest of your stay. However on subsequently speaking to your husband Ricky about which pitches were available, I found him to be a pleasant and easy going chap to talk to and yes, he gave me the confidence to continue. However, this confidence was short lived once you snapped ‘No!’ when asked whether you had had a long journey to get here. With conversing with you in a general manner was also being unsuccessful, I was grateful that your husband was present for the remainder of our conversation, which is why perhaps you picked up on the lift in tone. Whilst your review attributes this to gender, I’ll be blunt here and confirm it was down to your attitude and manner towards your host. I appreciate that after a long journey, some may be grumpy, but I’m afraid to say that I found dealing with you very difficult indeed. Whilst I spoke to both of you throughout, you said nothing for the remainder of the conversation and generally looked towards the ground.
Thankfully, the other reviews do speak for themselves, with feedback provided by a whole range of guests, both male and female.
