This was our first time camping and have no other sites to compare to this one, but we think this is a fair review.
We arrived at the reception to a very friendly welcome. I said that this was our first time and they explained everything to me so I could understand it in non-camping lingo. I explained that I am slightly disabled and they even offered to help me put up the tent. They took us to the pitch (A4) and told us how/where/what. Nothing could have more simple. They left us to it and we started pitching.
They had placed us close enough to the facilities for me to cope with. They offered to move us closer if I wanted but I said the location was great. You campers are such a friendly lot. We made friends with all the neighbours really fast.
The location of the camp is brilliant. Field - promenade - beach. That simple. It was only a 2 minute walk for us to the beach. They even said if I had problems walking it to just call them on the phone and they would send the golf buggy to pick me up. Such friendly people!
The site itself has no pub/club/bar so it was quite quiet at night. Just the kids playing and listening to the waves on the beach. The children all went back to their parents off the play area at 9pm.
The toilets and showers are the cleanest I have seen in any country. They were kept spotless. The free showers were hot whenever we used them and there was only a small queue in the ladies once only 1 morning. We were booked in for 2 nights, we extended it to 4 straight away. We have already booked to go back to this site in September for a week.
The shop on site has all the main things you should need if you have forgotten to buy, and it is also an off-license. The cafe is part of the shop and although we didn't use it, it seemed very clean and had a good selection.
The site is very dog-friendly and we will be taking her next time. A lot of dogs on site, but hardly any barking was heard.
All the serviced pitches also had their own water supply. No long walks with a heavy water bottle!
What a great site, in a lovely seaside town. The entrance road is a little steep, but was really no problem and we were shown to a spacious pitch, nicely hedged off and with all services.
Having amended our booking a few days earlier we were told we couldn't have the original pitch we booked, however the one we were given was excellent.
The site has two good quality clean toilet blocks, a small shop and cafe and access over the railway line to the front. It is then a short walk into Barmouth, which is a traditional seaside resort, set in a lovely location at the mouth of an estuary.
There are a variety of pitches to suit all, many spacious hardstanding, plus several on grass so all needs are catered for.
We use 'club sits almost exclusively and were apprehensive about a commercial site, we needn't have worried however as Hendre Mynach is a first class site and we shall be returning again soon.
On arrival the staff were friendly and very helpful, we were shown to the area and had a choice of pitches to pick from, So settled for a grass pitch, which was great. The site although quite busy was very well kept, Ladies Toilet/Shower block were spotless and I was assured by hubbie that gents were as well,
The staff were constantly about maintaining the site all week.
Very well located for Barmouth and surrounding areas, Barmouth being a short walk along the beach, or promenade.
Both site and town Dog Friendly with a few pubs allowing Dogs in while we had a meal,
In Portmadoc, a short ride away, the Barman in the Royal Sportsman, actually served our Westie with a bowl of water before he got our drinks and excellent meal
We have stayed at this site for 5 nights, the reception staff were very friendly and helpful, even lending us a hook-up lead as ours was too short, we were shown to a sheltered pitch which had a slight slope but not too bad once we moved the frame over a foot or two. On arrival the site was sparsely occupied bit this changed during the week.
Our only problems were a faulty mains hook-up point which kept tripping for no reason this was reported and rectified the same day. There were children on site who made good use of the play area which is really only suitable for under 10s, older kids may find it a little dull as there is no club on site, but all was quite by 10pm, pleased to report no noisy parties. The site is all connected for wi-fi and card are available from reception for this at a maximum cost of £20.00 per week, we gave it a go and although fine for browsing any streaming of i-player etc was not available due to bandwidth.
The site itself is well kept with a mixture of hard standing and all grass pitches, there are plenty of water, electricity and waste bins on site. The two large toilet/shower blocks are cleaned daily, although not heated so they did feel chilly at night, water temperature for the showers varied from day to day but was never uncomfortable. There are dish washing facilities, chemical disposal points and even a drive over drain for motorhomes. For those wishing a more basic experience there are plenty of non service pitches.
The on site shop doesn't really stock much other than bread,eggs, milk, kids toys etc as well as a small line of camping accessories, they are happy to order your daily paper but you must pay in advance for which a small charge is made.
Barmouth itself is a pleasant (subject to weather) 20 minute walk down the prom which is accessed from the site via a foot crossing over the rail track, trains are infrequent and seemed to be about six a day that went past, the town has the usual gift shops, a small fairground, 2 amusement arcades and plenty of cafes, a weekly market is held on Sunday and Thursdays and there is also an Iceland store and a Co-op supermarket
For those wanting a drink or a bite to eat there are plenty of nice pubs nearby and a couple were dog friendly as well.
All in all a very nice site with what seems to be a reasonable price structure.
We stayed at this site for Royal Wedding weekend, the site was very busy, but I could not be more impressed. The reception staff were polite and efficient, and I was shown to my pitch by two people who were very keen to unhook and position my caravan.
Our pitch was opposite the waste bins for our field, and throughout the weekend they were emptied every couple of hours or so, and the whole site was immaculate.
Situated right across from the end of the promenade and on a cycle route this is only a 15min slow walk along the beach into barmouth, which is essential as barmouth gets gridlocked on sunny weekends and bank hols!
The little shop and cafe was very good, although you had to wait quite a long time for your bacon butties to be cooked from fresh. A short walk or drive into Barmouth there is a spar, a co-op and every type of restaurant you could want.
Although situated near the train line, they only ran every couple of hours and honestly weren't a nuisance. The toilets and showers were very clean every time I used them, even over Bank hol weekend.
The entrance to the site is steep, but it was not a problem to anyone I saw entering or leaving the site, and no one had any difficulty with it.
My pitch had water and waste, was a good size and the only problem was the tv reception which was poor. However, reception kindly lent me a cable to connect to their tv connection on the pitch.
A well run, clean site with good facilities in a lovely location right next to the beach.
This campsite was excellent. First camping trip of the year for Easter weekend.
Location is brilliant. Across a train line and quiet road to the beach. There is a notice on the beach information board nearer the centre of Barmouth with the tide times which is useful to plan beach trips. It is only a short walk into Barmouth centre where there is a co-op, spar, gift shops and cafes.
The site itself is very well maintained. Bin areas and toilets are kept clean and checked regularly. Plenty of toilets in 2 blocks. Also 2 blocks of showers. There were only 4 showers in the one near us but we never has to wait.
Shop on site is good for forgotten essentials, groceries and kids toys. They also serve snacks. There is a kids play area which kept our kids (9 and 10) occupied and able to make new friends. Staff are all really friendly and helpful.
We booked electric hook up but they do have non electric pitches.
Can not comment on local attractions as stuck to the campsite, beach and Barmouth centre. We went for a chill out beach holiday and got exactly that. The centre can get busy but the campsite is a short walk away from that.
Will definitely be going again. Planning now for end of May bank holiday.
Having visited the site on numerous occasions over several years, I have to say over the last couple of years the site has slipped in terms of its management. Having said that the site is ideally situated for the beach (across a railway crossing)a short walk along the promenade in to Barmouth, lovely and charming in itself and well worth the visit. While you are there you have got to meet Mr. Bean what a character made my visit unforgettable, what a guy, seeing is believing
All three at this very pleasant site. In a narrow strip of land between the Harlech Road and the railway, everything is done to make for an enjoyable stay. All the staff are friendly and helpful and keep the whole site in a beautiful and clean condition. Each caravan pitch has a good sized bay surrounded by shrubs. There are other fields for tents. There is easy access over the railway line to miles of sandy beach. Take a stroll along the promenade into the town of Barmouth. The location is ideal for cycling, both into town and also continuing on over the famous railway bridge on the old railway route to Dologellau. The Mawdach Estuary is spectacular. It is also ideal for exploring by canoe. Don’t forget to check the tides first! The surrounding mountains are awesome, ideal for the enthusiastic walker and explorer.
Steep descent on approach to site, but very flat pitches, all neat, grass short and clippings removed from all but quiet tent fields. Second season approaching for owners.
Toilet/shower blocks clean and spacious, water as hot as you want. 20 minute walk along promenade to Barmouth town centre which looks a little tired. TV signal poor but on electric hook up pitches there is an aerial outlet, bring your own lead or available to buy for £5 from reception. Well regulated, perhaps a little too many signs. Childrens play area.
Cambrian coast railway runs adjacent, trains infrequent and not a problem, but you will need to cross the line to get to the promenade. Enjoyed the site, not cheap, particularly in high season, but the site fills in summer so who can blame them? Will visit again.
Stayed here lots of times - Just called to book our trip here to find that the prices have increased to £32/unit for 2 people in peak period. Whilst we love visiting Barmouth I don't feel this site warrants the price increase - we stay on another site that charges a similar fee which has a swimming pool, gym, restaurant, bar etc. This site has none of those amenities so unfortunately, although we love the site I will have to find a new location.
We were booked in to stay here for four nights with our camper. We arrived early afternoon and were shown to our pitch by a very friendly member of staff. The site is nicely laid out with tarmac roads around the various fields.
If you are in the tenting field, it is a fair walk to the toilet block. The pitches are spacious. There are two toilet blocks which are modern and cleaned regularly (best shower we have had so far on a site).
There is a small well stocked shop that also does breakfasts and take-away food. To get to the beach, there is an unmanned crossing over the railway (there is a train every hour so not a problem as long as you are careful!). We were meant to move onto another site for the second part of our holiday but decided to stay at Hendre for the rest of the week and the staff were happy for us to do so.
Barmouth itself has lots to offer with a lovely harbour, estuary, bridge over the estuary; the train passes over it and there is a walkway next to the railway line, a must to see the fantastic view of the mountains and for only 70p each.
The town has a nice mix of shops and places to eat, there is a small funfair on the front, the beaches are lovely and sandy, dogs are allowed along the whole of the main beach by the promenade, the hotel on the front does a nice beer and all of this surrounded by fantastic scenery.
We had such a lovely week, we hope to go back and spend more time there. Lovely!
Stayed here for one night with a friend, in a small tent. The location is excellent, right on the beach and a 20 minute walk to Barmouth town centre. Reception were polite and helpful and directed us to two places we could pitch. It is a big site and was very busy when we visited but we had plenty of space to pitch and park.
It is expensive compared to other sites, this is made up for by a brilliant location, you can hear the waves at night. The campsite does get very busy and as such I wouldn't recommend if you are after peace and quiet, although it was very quiet at night.
Facilities are good, there is a shop on site (we didn't use it) and a cafe nearby. Toilets and showers were mostly fine and clean, although the ladies got a bit grotty by the evening (lots of families in there changing nappies etc) they were too busy in the early evening - maybe they should think about a family changing room as to me, I did not like there being boys in the ladies.
Overall we had a pleasant stay and I would visit again, maybe not in August though!
