Date of Visit: April 2010 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Wild01 1 review from this member

 Just returned from a fantastic bank-holiday break from Trawsdir campsite which is fabulous, cannot recommend the site enough, has very modern bathroom facilities which are spotless

The tent site is very well set out and again clean, we loved the bench sets and used them for our bbq on sat night. The seaviews are amazing as are the mountains and the location is very central to visiting surrounding areas.

The only downside we found was that the electric pitch we were on kept cutting out throughout our four night stay which was very inconvenient, as not only was it very cold at night but the food in the fridge during the day kept having to be put outside.

 Camping at Easter can always be a gamble with the weather but we had such a fab time at this site we needn't have worried.

Pitches were brilliant - recently revamped play area was a huge hit with our girls & shower & loo's were always spotless. Very knowledgeable owners & happy to chat & recommend local attractions & info.

A lovely site for family fun & we will be returning in the summer for sure 


Date of Visit: September 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Pam7365 1 review from this member

 We have just spent 4 days here in our tent and can’t wait to go back. This site has got to be the very best site we have ever stayed at. The views of both the mountains and sea are spectacular. The site itself was very well maintained, the reception area is very modern & inviting, they gave us lots of advice about places to visit, in fact all the staff here did everything they could for us.

The tent pitches are very large and level giving you loads of space. Along with the electric hook up we booked, we also had fresh water and waste water drainage right next to the pitch. The toilets and shower block were kept spotless throughout our stay and are very modern with constant hot water and use of hair dryers, the showers had plenty of room in them to keep clothes away form the shower some of the showers also had a sink all of them had a seat. No tokens/coins are required for the showers.

The washing up area had plenty sinks and work surface you even had a view of the sea whilst washing up. The launderette has two washing machines and two tumble dryers and also a sink and seats to sit on whilst you’re waiting.

There was a small children’s play area which was great for anyone with children, a family pub and chips shop 2 minutes walk from the site.

Caerddaniel is their sister site with access to the beach over the railway line and has plenty of free parking - this beach was very clean great for the kids and for just walking along the waters edge on an evening stroll while the sunsets over the bay.

The site is a couple of miles from Barmouth where you can find a Co-op and a Spar supermarket for shopping and a small market on a Thursday and Sunday and bank holidays, cafes, restaurants and takeaways, ice cream and gift shops and a small funfair, the beach is lovely and clean and miles of it. The train station has plenty of information for tourists and where you can go to by train from Barmouth - we got a day pass to use on the trains for £8.10 per adult and we could travel between Pwllheli and Aberystwyth and hop on and off as much as we liked.

 What a fabulous campsite. Perfectly clean everywhere. Main toilet block by reception - immaculate.

Best camp site we have been to yet. Staff really helpful. Having a seaview when opening tent door was brilliant and being able to watch the sun set over the sea superb.

Will deffo visit again and recommend to any other campers.

Only a short journey to Barmouth itself (which is lovely too)

 This site was fantastic for our family camping trip. 4 units with 8 adults and 4 teens. Also a dog walking field, superb shower / toilet block, super pitches and a good shop.

With all local amenities within a short drive. Very nice and friendly cpl running the place. Was also very clean and tidy all over the site.

We will definitely use this site again.

Reviewer: LML0 2 reviews from this member

 Excellent site for families, separate tent and caravan fields. We were pitched on the sloped tent field (one tent field is flat) but had no problems pitching although the ground is quite stony so appropriate pegs needed.

Facilities were excellent, toilets/showers were clean and spacious with music in the background. Pot washing facilities are under cover and plenty of sinks. The site had a laundrette and small shop for basic food and camping equipment in reception which we did not use. The sister site across the road has a take away that will deliver (inc roast dinner!).

Only slight negative and of no fault of the site is that due to its location it is affected by the wind, we had gusts of 40mph, credit to the staff on site who came to check how everyone was coping with the wind.

All in all a great site and only 5 min drive from the centre of Barmouth, with short drives to Harlech castle, Llanfair etc.

Reviewer: Rachelt84 1 review from this member

 Found this site and it sounded pretty good and comfortable for our first holiday (even though we only went for 2 nights!) saw the pics on their website and were very excited about going. We arrived, was shown our pitch, which lucky for us was at the front with an unspoilt panoramic view of the coast, unfortunately it was quite windy which hindered in the putting up of the tent, we managed in the end though.
Toilet blocks fantastic, showers too. First night, well, once we got used to the road noise and wind we slept ok, but night number 2 there was a battering wind and rain off the sea, which woke us up at 2am!
I'd recommend it but only if you know the weather is going to be perfect!

Reviewer: Contivanman 2 reviews from this member

 This was our third visit to this campsite, each year we go to the site there have been further maintenance and improvement works from the previous year.

The site appeals to us, we have two young children and a six month old baby who was in fact nine days old when we last visited in August a sign of how clean and well equipped we view the site.

We wouldn't have risked taking a newborn baby to a site with poor or dirty facilities. The shower blocks are modern and usually very clean. It is a nice quiet clean site, there is a small play park area for the children, but there is ample room around the caravan pitches for children to play safely.

There is a small shop that sells the very basics, but barmouth or harlech are only down the road where you will find supermarkets. This isn't a site where you will find tacky amusements, a godsend to those who are trying to avoid chavs! Looking forward to visiting at Easter.

Reviewer: Jackfam 1 review from this member

 Site facilities were excellent -ample toilets and showers (plenty of space in shower cubicles) and never needed to queue for those or the washing up facilities.
The weather wasn't kind to us and the wind really whips off the sea straight onto the site but that also means nice views and lovely sunsets.
Easy Access (15min walk) to nice un-crowded beaches although weather did not allow us much time on them.

Reviewer: MLEcampers 3 reviews from this member

 Site was great. Good location and views. Facilities were excellent with plentiful,clean toilets and showers in a new shower block. Staff were friendly and always seemed to be cleaning which is a good sign.

Very windy when we arrived but managed to get tent up ok. Then rain set in from 3pm.

Winds were gale force during the first night but following two days were OK. Because of location of site not far from the sea it has a tendency to be windy most times.

Don't think the site could be improved.

The touring caravan pitches looked very good as well.

Didn't use the nearby pub as it looked a bit basic.

We would definitely stay at this site there if we went back to the barmouth area.

Barmouth town is ok but a bit dated. The mermaid fish shop in barmouth served the best chips I've ever had so worth a visit on a rainy friday night.

Went to shell island which was ok but wouldn't fancy camping there as facilities a bit rough and a lot of young groups.

Went to forest visitor centre a short ride out of barmouth which was really nice and good for mountain biking.

Overall surrounding countryside is lovely.

 What can I say lovely camp site will go back again clean showers and very friendly staff. Close to the beach and town visit the waterfall down the road turn right out of camp and follow road till you see waterfall brown signs. Little shop on site good for your basics and reasonable to. The only downfall you have to be off by 10 so its up get ready awning down and go. It was full service pich that was nice and 1 hour from Snowdon

 Having paid a deposit over the phone for what I had arranged to have non electric tent pitch, we were subsequently tried to be put on an electric pitch an be charged for electric we couldn't use, wasn't happy an were relocated up the road to the sister site where non electric pitches were available.

Facilities looked good though, they charge for freezing ice blocks, and it is extremely open to wind, recommend using hendre mynach 


Date of Visit: July 2009 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Laranake 2 reviews from this member

 I have stayed at this camp site previously but found this visit great - the toilet blocks now spot on FREE showers/hot water plenty of WHB's and WC's for us men as well as the girls, new site manager very friendly. Most pitches flat. Rear tent ground slight hill (but easy to pitch)

Looking to level for next year? this would be then spot on. Camp shop small but had what you need, Gas for sale.

Location just off the main road easy to find NO single roads, NO need to reverse - what a joy! and view of the sea/sun sets 'camara out every night'

A little open to the wind but not a problem on my visit. Security on site CCTV, Manager stays on site.

Summery - never felt the need to leave any reviews on camp sites (12ys with caravan - 1st season with trailer tent)and usualy never return to same area - but enjoy Barmouth so will always book (in advance) this site. Barmouth itself great plenty to do with the kids, even fair cheep! Golden sands no need to be rushed and plenty of parking in and around town £3 allday but location of campsite - us bike or enjoy the walk (30mins to town centre get a taxi back up the hill)

Reviewer: Radgie 1 review from this member

 Fabulous facilities, friendly staff and generously sized pitches which are all clearly marked out so you know exactly where your boundaries are which I liked.

There are a couple of drawbacks though. Firstly, the wonderful sea view is almost completely obscured when the camping field is about half full unless you have a pitch at the front - which don't have EHU, they're all at the back.

Secondly, the site is quite high in the hills and can be exceptionally windy. Pay attention to the weather information displayed in the reception/shop window and pitch your tent accordingly, especially if you have an extension/awning/porch.

Barmouth itself is a lovely little town with some fabulous beach areas comprising great sand and brilliant rock pools. There are a number of decent if old fashioned pubs serving a wide range of ales and lagers at respectable prices. The crabbing is OK and the local butcher has a great selection of burgers, sausages and kebabs ideal for the BBQ - the lamb & mint burgers and beef kebabs are highly recommended!

All in all, this is a great site and we'll definitely return. With good weather, this side easily scores 10/10

Reviewer: Chrisg99 1 review from this member

 We have just returned from this very friendly, clean site.

All the touring pitches have there own fresh water supplies and waste water drains which made life very easy for us, the dog walking field is excellent with poop bins at each end, although not everyone cleaned up after their dogs, this was a real shame as the site owners had made such an effort. We did notice however that the poop didn't stay down long.

The staff were all very helpful.

We stayed on one of the pitches mentioned in an earlier post (large grey stones) these were hard on the feet in the awning but didn't pose any problems.

This is a great site with a pub and fish & chip shop in easy walking distance with free parking at its sister site over the road that has direct access to a fantastic beach.

We had such a relaxed time we've already rebooked for August.

Although at the high end cost wise, you pay for what you get, this was good value.
