We stayed in a wigwam and it was lovely, very clean and warm in the night. owner is very helpful and provided us with a fire pit. my kids loved it it was a really nice quiet site. we went to the national park in the evening for a walk to the waterfall, it was about a 20 min drive. the showers were hot and powerful and did their job! I would of loved to stay for longer but had to come home for work will be returning.

Owner was very welcoming even gave his mobile number to contact him for any directions etc whilst we stayed.
Stayed in a wig wam, was very impressed with these, would recommend. great and considering it was freezing in the night, we were lovely and warm.
However the Toilet / shower block very basic, concrete floors and walls no where to put clothes towels etc when showing. When someone else flushed the toilet or used a sink the shower went down to a trickle. The site was quiet and wouldn't like to take a shower when it is busy for this reason.
Kitchen was fully kitted out but very dark and cold. Enjoyed our stay but something as easy as adding tiles in shower block and better lighting in the kitchen area would have made this break better.

Really enjoyed stay at the site. Was a quiet site with not a great deal around within walking distance in the way of shops/pubs etc - which may be part of the appeal.
Facilities basic but more than adequate. Fire pits available which were a real bonus. Stayed with my girlfriend for a quiet break and it was ideal for this.
Campfire and red wine of an evening was very enjoyable!
The warden was very friendly and helpful. I Recommend taking bikes and taking the bike path to Caernafon - traffic free and really pleasant. Though a little harder on the way back as its slightly uphill.

Small quiet site with friendly relaxed owner. Toilets and showers basic but clean with free, plentiful hot water.
There is a kitchen facility in a concrete outhouse with electric kettle, microwave & 2 ring cooker which was brilliant as we arrived during torrential rain & would have struggled to cook otherwise.
Also a large table & benches indoors in case of bad weather which meant our party of 12 could eat together on a rainy night instead of huddling in separate tents.
Shared kitchen also made the site very sociable. Surrounded by lovely countryside, but a car drive from shops etc.
Enjoyed our stay in spite of the rain!

Having read the reviews before booking and really looking forward to spending a quiet Bank Holiday Weekend in Wales, upon arrival our first impression was one of disappointment.
The main camping field was divided by a single service gravelled road with pitches either side, however, as we drove down the track the space between each unit became less and less - So much so that units were too close together and posed a potential fire hazard, with cars having to park partly on the service road - this also meant there was little room to sit outside your tent and have a bbq/campfire.
The shower/toilet facilities were, as stated in previous reviews, a little basic, however, whilst kept reasonably clean we did encounter a number of issues: no toilet rolls (so make sure you take your own!), no hand driers, sinks were in with the toilets so this caused queues in the morning as people waiting for the toilet had to wait for people to vacate after washing/cleaning teeth etc.
There were 4 showers, however, the water pressure was seriously affected if someone was running water in the washing-up sink in the kitchen area and, on that subject, there was only one sink for washing-up which again caused queueing at peak times.
That said, we were camping with friends and decided that we would make the most of what we had and quickly pitched our tents (with a little difficulty due to the stoney, uneven ground). Our children, and those of others, soon became bored by the lack of play space as the only area to play on was the gravelled service road. We witnessed some unsupervised children (who were staying in the 'wigwams') finding their own entertainment by playing with the firepit they'd hired and using toilet rolls from the toilet block and card/paper from the recycling bins as fuel.
Whilst this is not necessarily the resposibility of the site owners, I do feel that there could have been better 'policing' of the site to ensure the safety and enjoyment of other campers.
The site is obviously popular as it had a number of regulars who seemed to know one another quite well. Surprisingly, one group of 'regulars' had little consideration for their fellow campers and young children as their choice of words was quite often loud and inappropriate. A family arguement, from the same group, also led to a beer bottle being kicked across the cramped camping space and hitting another campers tent!
We are regular campers and frequently rely on the reviews and feedback from other UKCampsite users and whilst we do not expect luxury or 5 * facilities, we do expect space to pitch your tent and park your vehicle, space for children to play and proper flooring in the toilets/showers as well as toilet roll holders.
On the positive side, the owner was friendly, the electric was reliable and hot water was free. The site is in a good location for Dinas Dinlle beach, Caernarfon and Anglesey.
The site would be greatly improved if units were pitched more sensibly and appropriate to the size of the unit and the number of units limited to avoid 'overcrowding'.

Have just come back from a 2 night stay at this campsite over the bank holiday weekend (29 - 31 May) and it was great. The owners were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The site is about a mile from the main Porthmadog to Caernarfon road and well signposted. Very quiet at night, no traffic noise. The drive down to the site from the main road had very recently be re-surfaced with the last 200 - 300 yards quite narrow.
The site had a unisex toilet/shower block with 4 toilets and 4 showers (at the time of our visit there were approx 20 units on site mix of caravans/camper vans/tents and the 'posh' campers in the Wigwams) and we didn't experience any queues for the facilities. Adjacent to this block is a kitchen/dining area comprising of cooker (2 hob/grill and oven) microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge/freezer and sink for washing pots and pans, they also have those there! Pots and pans and crockery and cutlery, basically all you'd need for self catering! there was a large dining table and separate eating area, which we found very sociable, as it was a great way of meeting fellow campers and exchanging experiences of local areas of interest.
Toilets and showers were basic but clean and looked recently refurbished, although some were lacking the little touches of mirrors and hooks (always handy to have!). The location was handy for Porthmadog, Caernarfon and a little bit further the delights of Snowdonia.
We will certainly be visiting again, and possible staying in one of the 4 'wigwams' on site which had heating, kettle, fridge/freezer and sleeping area for up to 5 with beds and mattresses supplied. Our son also enjoyed the animals, cattle, sheep and lambs could be seen nearby. To summarise, a great little site with good facilities and friendly owners, what more could you ask for! Well Value for Money which this site also offers.
