 Chose this barmouth site as it was near the beach, it was our first camping trip chose it for the great location, we didn't need to use our car as it was right next to the beach and a nice walk into Barmouth town centre walking along the promenade.

The showers & toilets were clean and quite modern, the whole camp is clean really it was really busy when we went but didn't feel like sardines packed in which I liked.

They let us chose our pitch, there is a choice of fields, we stayed in the larger one near the beach entrance it seemed to have a lot of families on this one, there is also a quieter field with a lovely view of the sea which I think would suit people who want some peace.

It had a nice children's play area and a little cafe and a small shop the staff seemed friendly.

On our field children were flying kites and playing ball it was good fun, nice families and will probably go back as the area is so beautiful and there is loads to do !

 We have visited this site several times from my children being very young to now being teenagers and cant fault it. The facilities are excellent they have separate ladies and gents showers with hair dryers to use. In the toilet blocks there are some separate wash cubicles all these facilities are always very clean and well maintained .

There is a play park for young children with half a dozen different things to play on a very well stocked shop a take out a laundrette and a phone box. Dogs are welcome on leads with strict poop scooping which everyone seemed to comply with. The pitch sites are well spread out and with the electric hook up you also get your own water tap the pitches are flat and well maintained .

The beach is 2 mins walk and is very clean sandy and safe ,Barmouth is a pleasant flat 15 mins walk down the prom and has everything , varied shops, pubs, cafes a small market funfair and harbour .
I cant find anything bad to say about the site or the surrounding area only to mention there is a rail line to cross to get to the beach which has very few trains use it and is very safe to cross with with a proper crossing point and there is a steep driveway into the site but the owners are there to assist anyone who may have any difficulties though I have never seen anyone have a problem . I would definitely recommend this site .

 Just returned from one night at this site. Was seeing someone off on the Three Peaks Yacht Race and decided to make a weekend of it. The owners / staff were all lovely and even reduced the cost as it was only myself and 6 year old daughter.
The toilets and showers were spotless, the site was really clean and tidy but very relaxed. We camped in the quieter area up the hill a friend had already pitched up there or I might have stayed down at the bottom. We could see the sea and watched the Yachts in the race sail off in to the evening.
Good little shop and playground, great cycle into Barmouth, fish and chips on the sea front. Fantastic couldn't ask for a better weekend ! Oh except the weather of course we just managed to get the tents down before it rained.

 The site is perfectly located, close to the beach and close to the local town (both are within walking distance). The local town has plenty for everybody, including shops, bars, cafes, amusement arcades and a small fairground for young children.

The toilet/shower blocks are clean and well maintained.

We have stayed on this site 4 times now and absolutley love it.

 Superb site, very big but well looked after. Toilets and showers etc are clean and tidy and there are plenty of them.
Easy walk to beach (but beware of trains as you have to cross the tracks). Walk along the prom to Barmouth or £4 for taxi.
Pitches are good size and level, most have their own water tap, electric and I think there was piped TV signal. Beware on leaving to take hill in 1st gear and down change until you get to the top. There is also a shop and snack food / breakfasts on site.
We will be back sometime.

Reviewer: Candy Floss 8 reviews from this member

 We use this site every year and love it !

We have camped a few times this year already and we also camped at the end of Sept, we drove from work on Friday evening and arrived in the dark - they kept the office open and took us to our pitch when we arrived.

In the 7 years we have been using this site the facilities have always been impeccable - the location is brilliant ideal for anyone wanting to ditch the car.

The Beach is really clean and safe also a very small walk with all your buckets and spades !

Reviewer: VONCOL 1 review from this member

 Site was very clean, owners drive round often to keep check of everything, toilets and showers are spotless and free to use. On site is a small takeaway that do hot breakfasts and teas, shop sells just about everything including beers and wines. Small safe playground for children under 12. 3 min walk to beach and 20 min gentle walk into Barmouth itself where there is plenty of things to amuse the kids. Nearby you can visit Shell Island and local slate caverns. The only criticism about site is the entry on and off the site which is rather steep, although if you are towing a caravan I'm told the owners are only too happy to help out.
We will certainly be going again.

Reviewer: Hannah E 2 reviews from this member

 This is a lovely camp site. We were very impressed by how clean the toilet and shower facilities were. We were told to leave plenty of space in between the tents to give people some privacy, which we thought was very respectful.

The town is a 15 to 20 minute walk along the beach but you do have to cross a railway line.

The only thing that I felt could improve this campsite is that there could be a pub on site or a restaurant.

Reviewer: Yoda2708 1 review from this member

 It was the first time we went there - and we will be going back!

We got a very nice pitch which was close to the park for the kids, the toilet block and the shop. It was very convenient.

The toilets and showers were very clean.

The kids enjoyed having a play area to play at when we went back to the tent. They made a lot of friends.

The beach is also close and we enjoyed not walking far.

We used the washing facility and it was also nice to have that on site. It is really worth going to! Definitely will be telling all friends and family about it. We are already planning to go there with my parents next year.

There is nice views as well.

Reviewer: Monman 2 reviews from this member

 Well My wife and I would gladly recommend Hendre Mynach to others. We have stayed here probably 5 times in three years and will go again next year.

We find the new owners to be just as helpful, toilets are kept clean and tidy if a little dated, shop perfectly reasonable with not too much of a mark up on prices, tv reception is fine with a decent aerial.

Pitches are large but in high season does have a slightly crowded feel, probably due to the fact that some people use more than one car or invite friends to the site. Mains hookup was fine, never tripped on us although to be honest we don't have any power hungry equipment

There is a choice of pitches being hrdstanding, grass and all service, and even a drive over waste point for motorhomes.

Small park for children, which locks at 9pm, even on nice evenings, wireless broadband is available from the office for those in need.

Barmouth itself 15-20 minutes walk and is a lovely seaside town with stunning scenery all round, the views from the hilltops are great.

Reviewer: Liquid 4 reviews from this member

 Went here on a family trip. Site is very good, clean and well run. It runs adjacent to the main Cambrian railway line, but noise was not really an issue.

Shower / toilet blocks are modern and well maintained. We had no children in the party, but there is a playpark on site, and also a small BMX / skatepark adjacent to the campsite. There is a small shop on site, selling all basic essentials.

The beach is a 2 minute walk from the campsite, although it does involve crossing the railway line - quite safe as there is a designated pedestrian crossing with good visibility.

Barmouth is about 15-20 minutes' walk away along the coastal road, quite a nice walk.

Only thing to watch for is that the access road from the road to the site is very steep, with a steep climb once exiting. Not a problem for most vehicles, but smaller vehicles towing caravans may need some assistance to get out.

All in all a well recommended site.

Reviewer: Peggybabcot 8 reviews from this member

 With the newspapers reporting the worst August wind speeds in 12 years and this being only our second camping trip we were rather apprehensive to say the least. Barmouth is a lovely unspoilt and non-commercial seaside town with stunning views to the Welsh hills. Hendre Mynach boasts that it's the closest site to the town and a gentle 15-20 minute walk along the prom takes you there.
The only thing that separates the campsite from the beach is a railway track with several trains passing daily including a steam train at around 11.05am
Our pitch was well sheltered and backed onto the railway line and surprisingly the trains didn't bother us including the 6.10am or the 10.20pm (I think they were the first and last trains anyway!) It wasn't until we took our tent down that we realised the true cost of the steam train. We had been showered with hot ash from the steam engine and discovered the remains stuck to our tent roof and when we brushed it off we were left with a hole the size of a 5p piece where it had melted the fabric. I'm really miffed as it was only the second time we'd used our Monty 6 and already it needs a repair!
This aside the location of the site was wonderful and you could even tell whether the tide was in or out by listening carefully. The staff were really lovely and very friendly. The showers and toilets were fine but I did feel there weren't enough showers for the number of campers on site. That said I only queued once all week but maybe that had more to do with what time we got up! LATE!
There was a shop and cafe on site as well as a kids playground which all proved useful. The nearest supermarket was the Co-Op in Barmouth with major supermarkets like Tesco, Lidl & Aldi much further afield in Porthmadog.
Other than the steam train incident I found this site great and had the weather been better, the location makes it a fantastic place for a beach holiday with kids. I'd go again but keep away from the railway is my advice.

Reviewer: JaneBT 1 review from this member

 Not long got back from our first visit to this area and campsite and couldn't have wished for a better introduction to Barmouth! We camped on the flat side (there is a sloping area over the other side) where there was a specific area for tents only - conveniently the closest to the beach!

The site was lovely and clean with all the facilities that we needed. There is a children's playground(always full - even in the rain!), a shop (sells the basics but it did us) and off licence (much to the OH's delight) and a cafe/takeaway (reasonably priced fried food only - but we were on holiday!)

The toilets and showers were lovely and clean and (very importantly) always had toilet paper in them! Although we didn't use it, there is a launderette and baby changing facilities next to showers / toilets (sorry, can't comment on these) and pot washing / chemical disposal facilities around the other side - so you can kill a few birds with one stone just visiting the loo.!

We were literally, a stone's throw away from the beach - a very short walk (unfortunately across a railway line, so when my little one is older I don't know how happy I would be to let her go on her own) and you are there! There is also a cafe and another takeaway just outside the site near the beach. Barmouth itself is a short walk down the promenade (or you can take the land train that runs fairly regularly).

All in all, I would definitely recommend this site and would definitely pitch there again!

 Nice Campsite.

Was like a mirage after we spent a lot of that day driving around trying to find somewhere Suitable to stay as most sites had very few facilities around Borth,Fairbourne and Barmouth.

Possibly the cleanest toilets,showers and wash area that I have ever seen! Well thought out with pegs to hang your clean cloths on and a little wooden bench to sit on. Proper shower curtain too. Flow of water from shower is not that strong but nice and warm.They do lock the doors to the shower area at 10pm but as long as you are aware of that before you go it is no problem.

Nice little shop and takeaway there. Nice clean level pitches. 5 mins from the sea which you can hear swishing through the night which I find very pleasant. Nearest pub is about a 20min walk along the sea front in to Barmouth itself. This is quite a way but if it's a warm evening its not too bad.

Price is per tent also,not how many occupants, which is nice.

All in all a very nice Campsite.

 We arrived on Thursday after a couple of days torrential rain but the pitches were dry. The reception staff where very helpful, giving us a sheltered pitch beside a wall. The site is just as propercamper described.
We only stopped two nights but found some very nice pubs and eating places. Mermaids chippy was fab and an Italian type cafe over looking the harbour was very nice. The last Inn is the pub in the harbour that allows dogs in, there is another on the main road, cant remember the name it had seating out the front and an area around the back and dogs are welcome here also.
The wifi on site was £6 for 24 hours, it is run by an independant company, I couldnt get connected, the help line is only available mon - fri 9 - 5, not much help on a weekend, but the very nice people in receiption refunded my £6.
A very nice site in a very beautifull area, if you get the weather.
