Reviewer: Kerry19 1 review from this member

 We went as a family of four, and found hendre mynach park to be really friendly, they even showed us to our pitch and as we had never been camping before they said should we need any help we only needed to ask, we found the facilities on site to be very clean and tidy. The location for the sandy beach was great, and it s a lovely walk into barmouth itself. We found that we had a lovely relaxing time, however barmouth didn't offer a lot for teenagers, so they were a little fed up towards the end of the day. Would like to see a bar on site for some evening entertainment. Overall the site is an excellent place to stay with a friendly atmosphere. Well worth another visit.

Reviewer: Neilandlesley 11 reviews from this member

 We stayed at this camp site for two nights while travelling through Wales. Very well kept site and pitches. Toilet blocks & showers tidy and quite clean. There is a railway line along the one boundary of the site but was not used much while we were there so not a noise problem really. Nice walk along the front (access via a path from the site} into Barmouth itself. Small over priced shop that seems to be the norm on this type of site.

The down side is the price - its £30 PER NIGHT !This was for our van, the two of us and hook up. When I questioned the owner about this (we have never paid this much for a site) he said he charges this all year for any time in the school holidays. The site is nice but we have stayed on much better for a lot less. Some what spoilt out stay with this obvious pricing policy to exploit families. In the current hard times surely camping is meant to be a cheaper option for the family unit ?

Over all nice site - no where near value for money.

 Excellent site and well worth a visit.

First camping weekend of the year and a few families booked in together. Andrew and his team were all very helpful and given that there were not too many tents booked in, we had the pick of spots and were allowed to spread out a little.

Looks like there has been a bit of work done over the winter with new hook-ups across most of the camping areas, loads of water points and good vehicle access.

Barmouth is a 30 minute walk away along the sea front and past the beach which meant once we were unpacked, we didn’t need the car for the rest of the weekend. Bonus.

Loo’s and showers were all clean and with two separate blocks of showers we didn’t have any problems with queues. Loads of hot water and good pressure!

There were 15 kids in our group and they all had a great time. There is a play park on site and a skate park just over the railway line – it’s an unmanned crossing so not something the little ones should attempt on their own. Being near the train line didn’t bother us at all as the trains are either going into or coming out of Barmouth station, so they were not going very fast.

It’s marked up as no groups but we were quite honest when we booked (and again it was early in the season and nowhere near full, so not sure it would be OK all year) and there were 7 families who went together. We all had a great time and the site were very accommodating.

 Lovely little site which we have stayed on many times over the years and thought it was about time we left a review!

Good points:

Some large hard standing pitches.

Well kept site generally, the toilets and shower blocks are always really clean.

Great location opposite a long sandy beach, walking distance via a flat promenade to Barmouth town centre, which is still fairly unspoilt and picturesque.

Helpful and friendly staff.

Well stocked little shop which also serves as a takeaway.

Bad points:

A number of fellow campers think that it is acceptable to let their kids loose and run riot unsupervised all day and most of the night. In my opinion there is an accident waiting to happen with kids whizzing around on bikes and scooters from the age of about 3 or 4.

Avoid pitches by the play park as we ended up having a miserable weeks stay due to the above. (Including footballs being bounced off our car and caravan, even though there are supposed to be no ball games!)

Be prepared for the very steep hill to go down into the site and up to get out of it. You must make sure your car is powerful enough to cope with this if towing.

All in all a good site, which we will no doubt return to in the new year.

Reviewer: Furytron 2 reviews from this member

 Horrible place never again! we had hardly any sleep due to kids and adults shouting and singing after 12am and slamming gate to beach every 2mins, we even herd other campers shouting at them to shut up.

A big thumbs down

Reviewer: Chriscable 38 reviews from this member

 Dont follow the sat nav or you could end up like us trhe wrong side of the railway line only 50 yds from the site but 2 miles from the entrance.

Selected the site by reading reviews and using ratings. Disappointed somewhat. Toilet/showers in need to refurb and when busy not enough showers.

Great for access to beach but 30 min walk to Barmouth. Right next to railway line and although not many trains they can be annoying. Site also floods so if you in tent beware.

There is a little food take away on site but it was mainly closed. Found staff on reception not very helpful

Reviewer: Stevewabbit 14 reviews from this member

 Just returned from Hendre Mynach. We had really high winds from the tail-end of the hurricane Katria and the torrential rain that came with it. The tent (Hi-Gear Gobi 4) took it all in its stride. We had quite warm weather with it.

It's the second time we've been here and can't fault it. If you're looking for peace and quiet, then this is the place to go to. There were only 5 tenters, but the caravans and motorhomes were there in force.

The site itself is kept spotless by hard working staff. The toilets and showers are always immaculate. You are also only 100 metres from the beach. Barmouth is 3/4 of a mile walk along the promenade.

The shop is also a cafe.

I can recommend this site as I'm really hard to please. Just ask the wife!

Reviewer: Robmassey 4 reviews from this member

 This really is a great camping site. We've stayed 3 or 4 times now in our tent, and we always feel a bit sad when our stay is over. The facilities are always clean and tidy, but because the campsite is so popular, sometimes you have to wait to use the facilities. Also, the sites popularity means you can't always get your favourite pitch, although there are plenty of other good spots. The playground is one of the best I've seen at a campsite, so it keeps the kids entertained. Also, the are plenty of hard paths around the campsite so it's easy for the kids to burn off some energy if you take a scooter or bike. The tent fields vary quite a lot so there is always a pitch available to suit all tastes. There is also a really good shop on site. They have a wide variety of everything you are likely to run out of, and I found the prices were very competitive too, beingy comparable with local shops in the town. The site is ideally located to be far enough away from Barmouth to be quiet, but close enough to walk to. Also beaches, mountain walks, chip shops, Portmerion, good restaurants are all easy to get to. There is always somewhere to go, somewhere to eat or something to do, come rain or shine. Prices are at the top end of what you pay when you go camping, but so too is the campsite so you get what you pay for. Although there are fairly strict rules, this is to set a standard and to be honest, as long as you abide by the rules, the operators are really relaxed. Overall a great experience and well worth a visit. Can't wait to go back again sometime.

Reviewer: Newton22 5 reviews from this member

 As a regular visitor to Barmouth stayed at Hendre Mynach for the first time, & to put it simply this site was outstanding.

We arrived at 9pm on the Friday night (bank hol traffic) and reception was open and friendly when we booked in and throughout our stay.

Our pitch (as all pitches) was well maintained with ample room for van, awning, car and grassed area. The pitch was private with hedges to 3 sides.

Each pitch was fully serviced and this included a digital aerial point.

Onsite facilities were excellent and continuously cleaned to a high standard.

The site was full and yet never felt that way.

Off site you are across the road from the beach or a 20minute leisurely walk along the sea front to Barmouth.

The slope looked a little daunting when leaving the site but a little momentum and run at it proved easy to leave the site.

Overall an excellent site which we would recommend and will certainly be returning in the future.

 We spent the late August Bank Holiday on this site, it was very busy (despite the dismal weather)

A very large site but well spaced out and in a good location as its at the end of the promenade, great if you take cycles and if not only a 20 minute walk into Barmouth

The site was kept very clean (the bins were emptied 6 times a day!)

2 x shower & toilet blocks were very clean & modern ! and there's a very well stocked shop and cafe on site and a good children's play area

We had a fully serviced hardstanding pitch which was great although quite expensive at £32 per night (it was a bank holiday)

Access to the site is via a very steep bank although every outfit did make it up the bank on the way out

Trains run through the site (2 hourly service in each direction) and blow their horns at the crossing half way through the site (first train 0540 ! wakey wakey! - last is about 10ish)

I would say this has to be about the best site if you want to visit this lovely part of Wales !

Reviewer: Timandlydia 1 review from this member

 We paid for 2 nights but only stayed one night. Great for kids, but 2 new families came and pitched 2 very large tents and joining wind breaks and cars 4 foot from our little pop up tent, therefore noisy at night and slightly claustrophobic.

Also was a very long walk to the toilet block and showers as the campers field was at the end of the site.

There needs to be more control as to how much space one could use, perhaps even marking out the ground in some way or putting small tents on one side of the pitch.

However, the site is well placed for the lovely beach and town.

Reviewer: William cadd 8 reviews from this member

 Finally got tent up surrounded by other tents, more space in my garden. Toilets clean but showers was not very warm. Shop didn't have much in, staff not very friendly.

Been to this site for many years in the past but has been taken over in the past 2 years not so good now.

Good spot for barmouth and the beach though. 


Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Supersunshine 15 reviews from this member

 This was a well laid out pleasant site very close to the beach and a 20 - 30 min stroll along the prom to the town (depending which end of the site you were camped in).

Staff were friendly on arrival and gave pointers as to which camping field would best suit our needs. The shop held a good range of essentials and even though we didn't use the takeaway, the menu appeared good value. There wasn't obvious opening times displayed.

The toilets and showers were kept clean and water was nice and warm. I'm not sure how it would be if the site was full as there weren't many showers.

Barmouth sadly felt a little run down and quiet with a distinct lack of comfy pubs to sit and drink in. There is plenty to do in the surrounding areas and the relentless rain certainly did not hold us back!

 Just stayed one night, not long enough so will be back. Very pleased with the site, it does what it says with knobs on. Clean friendly super location. Loved it. Site well laid out, plenty of hot water in showers toilets and dishwashing area.

Site obviously well maintained flat pitches section off in areas for about 20 units each.

Short walk across railway line to prom and sea front, 15 min walk to Town centre. Out side camp it's a steep drive to main road there are bus stops in either direction. A very short drive to Town Centre good supermarket in the town.

There is a small Cafe for takeaways on site (didn't use so can't comment)and a small shop.

Reviewer: Jfa110n 16 reviews from this member

 Great site very well kept with excellent toilets and very roomy hot and powerful showers with plenty of room to get undressed/dressed etc. Pitches for touring vans/motorhomes have hardstanding with their own water and EHU.

Entrance/driveway into site very steep but not really a problem. Site situated near to the promenade with a handy little footpath accross a train track to gain access to prom which takes you right into the centre of Barmouth.

Trains run about every 30 minutes but don't disturb with noise. Site has decent shop selling the basics with a takeaway cafe selling hot food.

This site will not disappoint you except maybe the price £25 a night in July 2011 but well worth it.
