This is a great site. For us, a grown-up family of six in a caravan and two tents, this site satisfied all our needs and wants. The farmer owners are very friendly and keen to keep their customers happy. The site is at the end of the Lleyn peninsular and is ruggedly beautiful, high on the headland not immediately adjacent to any beach - but the delightful family-friendly Whistling Sands is not far by car. The site feels out-of-the-way and the new Welsh Coastal Path passes only metres away. A brand new log cabin cafe (opening hours not known) serves snacks, drinks and home made cakes. The basic showers and toilets are new and very clean. This is an authentic, simple Welsh hill farm campsite good enough to operate independently of the main camping/caravanning clubs. It is making a reputation for itself amongst discerning campers wanting basic quality and simplicity. This is a lovely spot with sea views. It is quiet and appealingly remote for those wanting a get-away-from-it-all break. The two fields are mostly gently sloping but we pitched very comfortably - some hook ups available. Sheep adjacent so check with owners if you have a dog. Access can be tight on the narrow approach road for big outfits.

This was my first camping trip in ages, found the site via this website looking for somewhere that allows fires *, after contacting the owner we set up camp on a field within 30meters off the cliff edge with fantastic views of aberdaron bay and beach. The other campers were very friendly, helping us out straight away, we noticed there were no areas designated for fires, no patches of burned ground and this was my main criteria for the trip, luckily a caravanner helped us out by lending us a chiminea, giving us some wood and a disposable bbq to get it going, we nipped down to the beach, a somewhat precarious journey, and brought back some wood washed up on the beach. As you'd expect it's a windy site, and the weather can change in minutes, so when we were lent some windbreaks that really made a big difference on the second night. The toilets were clean, lots of space, hot water showers, other than a dry area to stand on when getting dressed again, you couldn't ask for more. We were charged £30 for two people, two tents, two nights. Cheaper than stated on the web site ? The Lady who runs the site was nice, said hello a couple of times when driving through and stopped for a brief chat but generally left us in peace to enjoy the place, also we didn't really need anything from her. The town is a ten minutes walk with great views all around, two nice pubs, a chip shop, some cafes. It isn't cheap in the town though. The walk around the Lynn Peninsula is fantastic but very energy consuming. Two people fell as they passed us, footing is precarious at times, and mobile phones and devices do not work here. That can be a plus or a minus, but if you broke an ankle here you would wait a long time for assistance. All in all highly recommended. Will Return

Have just spend 10 wonderful days at this campsite right on the tip of the Llyn Penisula. The campsite itself is split into three fields 2 with electric hook up and one without, all have amazing unspoilt views heading out across the fields and to the sea. The owner also owns the most of the local hill tops and he has pitches on the way up that look amazing. If you like fishing a 5 min walk will take you to the cliffs where you can sea fish, I spoke to many of the people who fished and all got caught mackerel and pollock. Apparently Nani (Man Utd) comes here to camp and fish as well. I have stayed in a few of the local campsites nearby and none have such spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and Bardsley island Some of the pitches themselves are on a slight slope as mine was but 1 chock was more than sufficient. There are 5 toilets in total and 2 showers which may not seem that many but I was there over the bank holiday weekend and as pitched in the field where the toilet block was never really saw many queues and the owners visited the blocks 3 or 4 times daily to clean. A nice touch was the industrial size washing up liquid provided in the washing up area. I paid £10 per night and it was an extra £2.50 for hook up which considering the spectacular location thought was more than reasonable. The owners themselves were very friendly and helpful and brought me eggs one day and chatted about the local area and gave recommendations on where to visit. There is a cafe that is under construction and I was told that this would be open for next season serving local produce (as the owner farms livestock) the building was already constructed and they were putting in the electricity whilst I stayed there and had no reason to believe this would not be the case. Aberdaron (30 min walk, I timed it)has 2 pubs, 1 with a veranda over the beach, a wonderfull chippy, I had lobster caught that day! a spar that also has a butchers counter, a village shop for beer and an amazing beach. You also do a coastal walk to Aberdaron but I didn't bother as there are so many beaches and places to visit in the area. The owner also hires bikes. I have camped all across the UK in my van and I would put this into my top 3 campsites I have visited.

This was my first camping trip with just me and my dog and I wanted somewhere quiet with good views and walks - this campsite met all the required criteria. Toilets, showers and wash facilities were all good, although the site wasn't at full capacity, so it might get a little busy at the height of the season. The coastal walk is on the doorstep and is great for taking dogs out for regular exercise all through the day. They were building a cafe at the site entrance while I was there, which will be nice for breakfasts and I can't blame the owners for looking to generate more income - with its good siting, passing walkers will have an ideal place to take a break too. The site fees are more than reasonable - £8 per night for me and my dog. The owners were friendly and relaxed. The main farm house is a little way up the road, but that doesn't cause any problems. It is the sort of campsite that attracts those who want peace and quiet. Aberdaron is not far and is a lovely little village with all the facilities you would need. I loved it and will be returning very soon.

What a beautiful location-absolutely stunning We loved this site-facilities are modest so glad it was quiet. Charges very reasonable-£10 per night plus £1. 50 for hook-up. 50p for shower was fair Wind did roar round the site but then the sun would come out and all was bliss Owner was very helpful-suggested walks and things to do. Eggs for sale were advertised on the loo door. He very kindly came back specially to bring us some. They were very good Best part for us was the walking on the coast paths and the views from the coast and the site itself. Our dogs thought it was heaven Well stocked Spar in Aberdaron and enjoyed a good pub meal overlooking the beach Would recommend the site and the area

Spent 10 days at Mynydd Mawr during the summer holidays. Site facilities are basic but more than adequate. Showers were 50p for 4 minutes, tricky with a 18 month and 5 year old but very reasonable considering we were only paying £15 a night with a hookup. There were 2 main fields next to each other one with hookups and mostly used by motorhomes and caravans and the other one containing the toilets and set aside for mostly tents. The Owner popped over to the site 2 or 3 times a day to empty the bins and check everyone was OK. He was very helpful suggesting the best beaches and places to visit depending on the days weather conditions. We had to nip home for a few days but even though the site was full the owner very kindly suggested we leave the van in his barn rather than go through the hassle of towing it on a 200 mile round trip. The access to the site is down a mile or so of single track road with passing places now and again but the views from the campsite and its stunning location are worth the faff of negotiating it. The site is on a fair slope with some pitches being flatter than others but nothing a couple of bits of wood under one wheel couldn't sort out. Aberdaron is the nearest village, about 5-10 mins drive or an hours walk. Anything other than essentials would best be bought from Pwllheli 30 mins up the road by car. All in all a site with a very informal atmosphere, friendly owners and reasonable prices.
