Reviewer: Peterspal 1 review from this member

I stayed at this site earlier in the year. It was my third visit and I occupied a grass pitch with no EHU.

The site is not perfect, it is mostly sloping and there is some road noise but nevertheless it is one of my favourite C&CC sites. I have been lucky on all my visits in that I have been given a more or less flat pitch in a small area which is also sheltered and convenient for the ablutions block. Having said that, all my visits have been outside peak times.

The ablutions block is up to the usual C&CC high standard.

The welcome I received was excellent and I found the staff very friendly throughout my stay.

I can't comment on child friendliness but I did notice that the site has a large separate playing field although this is also on a slope.

The site is a few minutes walk from the pleasant village of LLanystumdwy which has a pub, a cafe by the river and the Lloyd George museum. I did not try the cafe or museum but did visit the pub. I found this to be an excellent village pub. At the time of my most recent visit it was selling three different real ales (all from Welsh breweries) and a variety of ciders. It also does what looked to be appetising meals but I did not try one.

As a previous reviewer has commented, the pub staff and locals speak mainly in Welsh when talking amongst themselves. I do not see anything strange in this, after all if I go to France I expect the locals to speak mainly in French. I also found that the Welsh speakers were only too happy to have a friendly conversation in English with myself and other English people when the occasion arose, so I would not suggest that anyone is put off by this.

I am looking forward to visiting this site again.

I've read reviews about road noise and slopes and thought perhaps people were over elaborating - wrong! Despite the friendly welcome everything negative that's been said about this site is true.

We were on a horrible slope near to the main road, to be honest I was glad to get home which is a shame because it is such a lovely area. Not one of CCC better sites in my opinion.

Criccieth is a lovely little town with a castle and we found The Lion Hotel the best place to eat out.

After a visit to the local pub near the site I was put off by the staff speaking in their native tongues and considering I'm from Wales originally I still find this practice rude.

There's some really good points to this campsite; very well kept, spotless toilet & shower block, the receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. I was a bit worried about the slope, but it was fine in the tent area (I have a bell tent and has no problems pitching).

There's a cycle track offroad for most of the way to Abererch which was really handy.

It is right next to an A road, which is noisy during the day, but quietens down at night.

Made the mistake of going over a Bank Holiday weekend and despite arriving midweek, the site was very busy, the facilities were up to the usual C&CC standard and just able to cope.

The position of the site is between 2 roads, 1 a bypass of the village and is very busy and noisy.

The worst thing about this site is the fact that is on a fairly steep slope and even with ramps and blocks of wood we couldn't get level the wardens helpful comment of 'You can't expect to get it perfect' was a touch too near the mark as we were on a distinct incline, caravans legs are precariously perched on cut logs to achieve levelness.

I think the wardens did the best they could with what they were given but as a club site, a bit of a let down. Site made up for by the glorious scenery,

Bus stops at the gate for you and is quite regular. The pub in the village is about 15 minutes pleasant walk away and is OK, Will continue to visit North Wales but not at this site.

Reviewer: Paulmold 20 reviews from this member

As has already been said the site is on a severe slope. Top section is for caravans and motorhomes and tents with hook-ups, bottom section for tents without hook-ups. We went in our small (17ft 6in) motorhome and to get anywhere near level we had to use ramps with an 8in. lift from the site manager (£20 deposit) but site slopes both from side to side as well as back to front so getting level was almost impossible.

We moved backwards from where we were put by 2 feet to get off the run-down to road edge of grass but were pounced on by the manager to go back were we were put even though the pitch was supposed to be 20ft and our motorhome is only 17ft 6in.

Do not come to this site with a motorhome unless you can book one of only 5 hardstandings and do not come at all if over 20ft long.

Everything else already written about facilities and area is correct. The manager makes you feel that he is watching your every move, not great for a relaxing break.

Recommended site for those walking the Llyn coastal trail. Backpacker friendly with flat pitches on the bottom field. Superbly kept facilities (Showers, toilets and Wash-Up area)and friendly staff.

Not too much road noise and only a 10 minute walk from the pub (Serving good real ales and food) and village.

Would definitely stay again and recommend.
