Date of Visit: May 2010 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Angelabl 1 review from this member

 Nice site friendly staff and about 20 minutes walk out of Barmouth

Along promenade you can cycle down this promenade which has some lovely views out to sea. Barmouth has a few nice shops and pubs and a little fair.

The site has spotless toilets which have their own separate sinks as well as toilet and showers. Sites play area is nice and safe. They also have a shop and a takeaway cafe which is very useful and not to expensive.

We paid about 30 pounds a night (but this was a bank holiday and they did let us book just two nights a lot of sites state 3 night minimum) which is a bit expensive but we did have mains hookup our own water tap and a tv aerial because you cannot seem to get freeview of you own aerial.

Run up to site is a little tight if you have got a big caravan but well worth the effort

I will return and spend longer next time two nights was not long enough.

 Nice campsite about a 15 minute walk out of Barmouth town centre, right on the sea front (once you've crossed the railway line!)

Hot showers, washing up area with hot water, toilets with private sink cubicles so you can have a quick wash if you don't want a shower.

Night time security wandering round (who quizzed us as we turned up at 10pm to meet friends who had already pitched for us!)

No fires allowed and if you bring disposable BBQ's you will also need to bring something to lift them off the grass so they don't burn it.

A good first time camping experience although cold and windy! With hindsight we should have pitched by the railway line facing into the hills as railway blocked the wind somewhat.

 Having been to this site many times before we found the new owners to be very friendly. On arrival the reception staff were very welcoming and helpful. We were pitched on the new hardstanding which were great.

The location of the site is perfect for the beach and Barmouth town. Yes, there is a train but they are not that regular and we didn't really notice them after a while. The toilets and showers were immaculate as ever.

Will definitely be going again next year.

 Just got back from hendre mynach camping park. It's a lovely site, all staff and campers are so friendly there. Everywhere clean and tidy, toilet and shower block excellent

Close to beach and walking distance to Barmouth town. Found it a bit too near to the train track, would like to be a few rows back next time

Costing £29per night peak time, not too bad, only thing missing there is a club house for a bit of entertainment at night. Will be going back there hopefully again soon.

 Stayed here for a couple of nights. Lovely campsite. Short walk across train line and right on the beach front (trains stopped running about 10pm so didn't cause any major nuisance.

There are loads of places to visit nearby so great location.

Toilet / shower facilities spotless. Shop has very limited supplies but this is no big deal at you are a short walk from shops in town. For those who can't do without their computer on holiday, there is Wifi available on this site for a charge.

Site does advertise cafe food but the person running this facility was reluctant to provide eat-in food, she said this was due to lack of demand from site guests. Suspect guests may have been put off from using this facility as the lady running it was not very approachable as noted by other guests as well as myself during my visit (same person who ran the shop). However, we did not let this spoil our visit, which wasn't long enough on this occasion, and we will be booking again for next year.

Reviewer: Mad Pierre 5 reviews from this member

 This is a fantastic family site, there's a playground for the kids and the beach is just a very short walk away. We took the tent and had a pitch with electric hook up behind a hedge, which sheltered us from the wind.
The loos and showers are second to none and the staff are great. Barmouth is in walking distance along the seafront from the site. We like Barmouth it's not rowdy but it's not boring there's shops for everything and plenty of places to eat and drink. The surrounding countryside is brill and we did a lot of walking,.
This was our second stay at this site and we look forward to the third. Can't think of any downers. For us this is a perfect stay.

 Why oh why do I always just go to Barmouth for the weekend?? Lovely and clean site as usual - shop and cafe were open and the welcome was as warm as the first time I visited. Weather was very kind and fellow campers were in good spirits! Pitches are well spaced and maintained to perfection. Approach through the twon is always interesting and a test to driving skills, but the views more than make up for it. Will definitely be back in 2010!

 Just returned from this campsite,very good break,shower block spotless,on site shop and takeaway if you need it. Only a short walk in to barmouth down the prom well worth taking bikes to cycle in for fish and chips. There is a train line but its not to bad,not many trains.We would go back. Hope all the sites we visit are this good. Cross over the railway line and your on the prom and the beach

Reviewer: Kernow Camper 265 reviews from this member

 We love Barmouth but only manage a visit every 2 or 3 years and always stay at Hendre Mynach. I have to say that in my opinion I feel the site has gone downhill - slightly! Which is a real shame.

Lovely warm welcome on arrival. Easy check in and we were given loads of local information. We had a really private hardstanding pitch with EHU and own water - high hedges both sides BUT this didn't stop - 1. The pig ignorant dog owners pitched next door who left there dogs in their motorhome all day both days and let them bark for England on their return - 2. Our pitch backed onto the railway line and although the trains are small were frequent and started early morning - 3. We were overlooked by the local housing estate.

The site has 2 toilet/shower blocks. We were pitched near the smallest one. This block could certainly do with updating/re-decorating but it suited the purpose. There are 3 washing up sinks also housed in the block. Hot water never existed and I left the sinks cleaner than when I arrived! :o( The site also 'boasts' a take-away (open all day?????) and a small shop. Now I know it was September so 'out of season' but the site was almost full - UNLIKE THE SHOP - and the lady on the till was not the happiest we've ever come across. She also had to run the take-away on her own - hence it never being open!

:o(

You can walk into Barmouth directly from the site, across the railway line and onto the prom. The Min-y-Mor hotel on the walk into town is doggie friendly and is the closest 'pub' to the site. All the pubs in town seem very overpriced for food so we didn't partake! The area around the harbour and overlooking the wonderful Barmouth Bridge is probably the nicest part of the town. We had a cheap but foul tasting (?) tea in Davy Jones Locker but a much nicer coffee and meal in La Pizzeria, sat outside in the glorious sunshine overlooking the bridge - highly recommended! Like many towns in the UK these days Barmouth really could do with a good refurbishment.

It still remains my favourite place to visit in Wales purely for the views.

 Just returned after our 4th visit to this site (wife me and the kids) the site is always spotless toilets/showers always clean nice small but adequate facilities with a small shop for provisions and a very reasonable freshly cooked brekkie. Would recommend this site to all even when busy it doesn't feel overcrowded and I think I can safely say it is the quietest site we have ever camped on,will return again next year. And can't wait!

Date of Visit: August 2009 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: The rainy campers 6 reviews from this member

 We chose this site because of the location we went with our son 9 and our 13 year old daughter and her friend. The site is a 2 minute walk to the beach crossing over a railway line, then you can walk along the prom to the centre of Barmouth. This was ok if it wasn't raining or blowing a gale.

When we booked in we were told very abruptly that we could camp anywhere in the main field and to stay away from the electric pitches.(We didn't want an electric pitch) Previous to going to the site I phoned to book a pitch. I was told that it was first come first served and that no electric pitches were available. When we arrived there appeared to be a few electric pitches which lay empty for the time we were there!

There are 2 shower/toilet blocks for the top and bottom fields, we only used the toilets for the bottom field. There are 4 showers and a small toilet block. The showers were clean they asked you to mop the floor when you had finished. We stayed for 4 nights and in the ladies showers there was always a queue.

The park is small but the children enjoyed it and they met a few friends there which later made a cricket team the kids young and old enjoyed that. Unfortunately one night my son who was riding around on a bike (not late at night)was told by a warden to get off his bike, and go to bed or he would throw us off the site!

Reviewer: *Diamonds* 7 reviews from this member

 We were really looking forward to our week's holiday at this campsite as most of the reviews were so positive. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The campsite itself is nicely laid out and we had a decent amount of space and privacy. The shower block was fine, nice hot water and clean.

However, we felt the staff were very strict indeed and weren't at all friendly. The children's park closed at 8.30pm on the dot which we felt was a bit early to say the least! it was the middle of summer and the children wanted to play a bit later than that. I witnessed a young girl being told to hop it when she wandered into the park area and went to go sit on the swing, they actually tie up the swings! very unnecessary IMO.

The beach is just over the road and is pretty large with great waves, we really enjoyed being out there on our boards! even when the weather was rainy, we still made the most of those waves.

We were a bit disappointed with the town centre, it was OK, but nothing that exciting. You wouldn't spend every evening wandering around there as you've seen it all in one trip.

We actually left a day early because both of our children were fed up of being told they couldn't ride their bikes in such and such a place, no park after 8.30pm, and the staff in the shops were also unwelcoming. The weird thing was, they didn't make any friends at all which is very unusual. I think it's because most of the children have gone back to their tent/van in case of being shouted at after a certain time!

 Me and my two daughters (14 & 17) and our two dogs stayed here in August, the weather for the most part was glorious. I've never been to Barmouth before and thought it was lovely! The location of the site across the way from the beach was perfect.
The site was very good - clean, tidy and quite pretty. We experienced no noise or disturbance whilst we were there. However, we stayed right at the top of the campsite, nearest to the showers, not near the beach. This area seemed more crowded and there were lots of young children - so not for us.
I would definitely return and would recommend this site. I'd like to add, as three vegetarians, we found the choice of menu in local pubs and cafes was excellent, even 'The Harbour' chippy had a separate veggie menu - brilliant Barmouth!

Reviewer: Kelpot 2 reviews from this member

 This site is fantastic only a stones throw from the beach, where you can take the dog, excellent facilities all spotless. We camped in the field furthest away from the toilets and showers so it was a bit of a walk, but this was the only field with any space left.
No noise from the campers at all only the train which does run very close to the site and starts about 6 in the morning and ends about 11 at night.
Good park for the kids to play on open 9 till 8. Showers open early. Public bar with excellent beer garden overlooking the sea only about 10 mins away down the promenade.
There is a small shop on site but doesn't stock a great deal but there is a Co-op in Barmouth town for all your shopping. The take-away on site is very limited and the staff not over friendly and would not even put some beans on a jacket potato for me so I had to buy a tin from the shop next door and warm them up back at the tent.
There is a cafe just over the train tracks which does an excellent breakfast for 4.95 and you can sit outside with the dog if you have one. Lovely fish and chip shop in Barmouth called The Mermaid.
Plenty of places to explore around Barmouth but we didn't use the the car for 2 days which was nice for my husband so he could have a few pints of Guinness down the pub. We paid £38 for 2 nights which sounds expensive for camping but it is worth it for the great time you will have there. Also the sun was out for 3 whole days.

Reviewer: Wheelz 1 review from this member

 This was our first time at Hendre Mynach, and first impressions were very positive. The site is nicely laid out and the touring caravan pitches are quite secluded, even when the site is busy.

The toilet and shower blocks really were immaculate. We used them at varying times during the day and they always looked like they'd just been cleaned. The extra space in the shower cubicles (some of which have a sink as well) was very welcome when showering the children.

The site is perfectly located right next to the fantastic Barmouth beach, which is just a short hop across the railway line.

Barmouth is a 15 minute walk away along the seafront, or 5 minutes by bike, and there are plenty of places to eat out with the children, with 'The Barmouth' being particularly good value for money.

The children were kept amused for hours with crabbing trips around Barmouth Harbour, and when they were on the site they had a small play area to keep them amused.

The site is 30 minutes drive from Coed-y-Brenin trail centre, so it's great for mountain bikers with families.

The Mawddach Trail along the estuary was a great cycle ride with the kids, especially as the pub after about 8 miles made a great place to stop and recover, assisted by good food and good local beers.

Initially the play area was open until 9pm, but this was changed to 8pm shortly after we arrived for some unknown reason. Maybe someone complained that the kids were too noisy, but then this is very much a family site so it's to be pretty much expected.

The staff onsite were initially helpful, but a small minority were very quick to apply some quite draconian rules, especially to the quite well behaved children we saw on the site, which detracted somewhat from our holiday.

Overall, a very nice site with immaculate facilities, but the overzealous interpretation of the rules by some of the staff means that we will probably try somewhere else next year.
