This site is in a great location for visiting Barmouth. The walk down the beach or promenade to the town is only about 15 minutes.
It's a very busy site with a lot of turnover but, despite this, the facilities are always clean and you don't feel hemmed in. The site is a large one and stretches over quite a distance but each section is separated by walls / hedges making it feel much smaller. The beach is only a short stroll away and the trains do not really cause any disruption.
The drive as you arrive in Barmouth is quite spectacular with the bridge and estuary straight ahead of you. As with all seaside towns there is the usual seaside paraphernalia but it is not overly tacky.
If you have a dog, there's a great pub in Barmouth that welcomes them inside with open arms, which is great if it's raining! I think it is called the New Inn (it's the white one on the bend opposite the marina).
Just spent a long weekend here, it is a great site, quiet and well looked after with hot showers and kept clean. Very close to the sea, only a short walk to the beach. Barmouth is a lovely place to visit I could have stayed a lot longer. Will go back very soon. The site staff are very friendly.
This is one of the best campsites we have visited - and we have visited many all over the UK. Lovely and clean, all facilities well cared for and staff friendly and helpful. The train passes in only a very few minutes and I think is only noticeable because of the quiet, especially in the morning.
The gate to the beach across the railway is down the footpath and shouldn't be a problem for little ones if they are well supervised. We had no problems with our grandchildren. The beach is glorious, safe and sandy - what more could you want! It is a very popular site and does at times get very full - but that speaks for itself ! There are always campers who do not think about others whilst they are having "a good time" but that happens everywhere. Whilst we were there a group were asked to leave after disturbing people the night before.
I would recommend this site to both families and couples - if you do not like it too crowed then avoid peak times! Barmouth is a typical seaside resort but is not tacky - some of the shops are great and the standard of catering has improved over the past 2 years. Surrounding countryside is beautiful. We love it
I can see why this campsite is popular, it's tidy, clean, and well maintained, and also has very good facilities, (the ladies toilets and showers were close to our pitch, but it was a mile hike for my husband to get to the gents!) The site was very crowded, when I rang to see if we had to book a pitch, we weren't told it was first come first served, we were told to just "come along" and there would be room for us (I double checked this twice), which we did, (travelling 211 miles) and then arrived to be told that there was no room. A kind gentleman told us about a site he was staying at just up the road, called Caerddaniel. However, I think we were overheard, as we were promptly offered a pitch! The pitch seemed like it was built on hardcore and rubble, it took ages to find anywhere to knock a peg in, and the view from the tent was, well, other tents! I can see why people with kids were worried about the railway line, the gates were very easy to open even by small children, and whatever you do, don't order a breakfast to take away in the morning, unless your watch is synchronised with the cooks! I was 6 minutes late picking ours up, and got shouted at!
All in all we didn't have a great experience here, the only upside as I say, are good facilities and the beach within easy walking distance. If that's your thing and you dont mind overcrowded pitches and bodies everywhere, then by all means go. Oh and last thing, I agree with the comment about the park security being hopeless, especially as at 3am a group of drunk men in the site were raucously singing football songs for the best part of an hour. And if you think we're moaners, you should read the sparkling reviews we've written for more deserving campsites!
Brilliant place. Especially the weather ! Beautiful, clean site with stunning views towards the estuary and also the lleyn peninsula. Showers, toilets, shop, exceptional. Only downside were noisy teenagers allowed on to site at 10:15 on our last night who kept us awake until 2:30! Train is a bit disturbing at 6:40am, but not too bad so long as you don't drink too much the night before. We will definitely go back again and would recommend the site to anyone with kids.
This is a nice clean site, with excellent and well maintained facilities. Ideal for a trip to Mid-Wales. Well laid out pitches and lovely shower block. There is a shop and cafe on the site - you will want for nothing. "Best site in Wales" - they say...No. There are no views, other than the pitches adjacent or opposite, and the railway track separates you from the sea front. The trains are infrequent, but when they do come, they inevitable sound their horn and it feels like thay are about to hit the van! Having said that, its certainly good for a long weekend in Barmouth.
This was our first visit to Barmouth, and we fully enjoyed our stay at this site. The toilets and showers were always clean, the queue for the showers was a bit of a pain but were always hot, we found if you waited till 7pm there was no queue!!!!
The shop was well stocked with everything you coould possibly need and more. The girls loved the play area which was not too far from where we had pitched the tent. The beach wasnt far to walk to just over the train track which had gates to keep it safe for the kids. We would go back again as we had a fab holiday here.
Facilities at this site are very good with electric and water right next door to your pitch and the shower/toilet blocks clean and functional. The beach is only a 5 minute walk away and the town 20 minutes. The town itself is your typical tacky seaside job with amusement arcades etc.
Mid/North Wales has a wealth of natural attractions, so your never stuck for anything to do, just be prepared to travel a bit.
The downsides of this site are:- It is between a railway line and a main road. The first train comes through at about 6:40am and sounds it horn. The main road is above the site and is also busy. The site itself is very very busy with lots of children/teenagers
My family and I visited Hendre Mynach Caravan And Camping Park for a long weekend break in early August, after the initial concerns over driving for 140 miles with no reservation at the campsite, as it was on a first come basis, we were very pleased to find a wonderful campsite, with nice clean toilet & shower facilities which include free showers.
My wife felt that the distance to the toilet & shower facilities was quite a long walk if you camped in the bottom fields - I felt it was fine but then it was my wife who was running up and down to the toilets all day with the children. I am not convinced that the children really wanted the toilets but had just figured out that next to the toilet and shower facilities was the children’s playground!
The campsite is right next to a railway line although trains do not pass that regularly and to be honest we hardly noticed them. The track passes between the campsite and the beach which is lovely and sandy and has a wonderful promenade which runs all the way into Barmouth which is a very pleasant twenty minute walk from the campsite. Beautiful sunsets can be seen from the promenade.
Along with my family which includes 3 young boys of 2, 4 and 6, we had a brilliant time and would certainly recommend this site to anyone who wants to have good holiday.
July 2005 We had tried a few times to book at Hendre Mynach but it was fully booked each time. We managed to get in July 23rd to 30th and I have to say it was the best holiday we have had. Our caravan was right next to a lovely park for the girls to play on and also next to the toilets and shower block which were always very clean. We never had to queue for either and the showers were free of charge.
There was also a Launderette, a shop which stocked everything we needed, and meals to eat in the garden at back of shop or take away. The site was kept beautiful and a warden on duty of a night. It was right next to the beach and great for the kids....... ours loved it. I have been to Barmouth for years but this is the best one yet and we are going back to Hendre Mynach.
May 2005 Just returned from my first visit this must be one of the best sites in wales, the site and toilet blocks are kept in excellent cond the site i was given for my motorhome backed on to the railway but the odd train did'nt cause any disturbance,high flowering hedges on either side gave us excellent privacy.
My grandson who is in a wheelchair found the site flat and easy to move around, and any disabled person can easily acces the promenade and then its acar free stroll 20 minutes to barmouth town centre. Cannot recomend this site enough the staff go out of their way to be helpful and if you fancy a pint there is free transport laid on every evening to the local pub .
August 2004 Our first camping trip as a family. We chose Hendre Mynach because it was the first one we came to in Barmouth, but am I glad we chose it.we had a lovely time there. The site was spotless, the showers and toilets were really clean and after reading other reviews I can tell you that the showers are now free!
What a lovely peaceful place it was. The sunset is amazing with stunning views over the bay, I think anybody can put up with Thomas the Tank Engine going past site if it means having a lovely stay in a well presented and looked after campsite, thoroughly recommend staying here.
June 2004 Site is reached by an 'interesting' drive down a steep hill.
When we booked in, our party were shown our pitches (pre-booked together, even though it was a battle!)
Bearing in mind 3 out of the 4 tents are extremely large, we had to pitch very close together to fit into the allocated pitches. It was friendly camping taken to the extreme!! I shudder to think what would have happened if a fire had broken out.
Although the trains do run approx 10ft away from your tent, if you happen to have pitched on the sea side, the campsite is in an excellent position, and only 15-20 minutes walk into Barmouth along the promenade. Yes, you do have to cross the railway, but as trains only run approx 1 every hour, and sound their horn rather vigourously (first one at 6.30am!), you do get warning of their approach.
We were quite amused by the train timetable.
I would recommend the site, with a few minor niggles:- If you happen to be at the other end of the site, the toilet block is a hike. On the camping field there is one road into the field, which if you have small children, means constant vigilance for cars, some of which do not stick to the speed limits.
May 2004 We visited this site the week before the May Bank Holiday so it was fairly quiet and there was plenty of room to pitch our tent. We found the site really good value for money with excellent facilities all round. The showers were clean and free to use, the toilets were clean and well supplied. The on-site shop was good but had a lack of newspapers unless you pre-booked them. The prices were a little on the expensive side but as it was so handy you can't complain. There is also a take-away where you can grab snacks during the day. As mentioned in past reviews, the trains do sound their horns on the way past which can be a pain at 6AM but you get used to it. The crossing over the railway line doesn't seem to be in a dangerous position as it's quite far away from the playground and leads to a good beach with stunning views. In all we had a lovely 4 days at Hendre Mynach and would definitely recommend it.

This site is in a great location for visiting Barmouth. The walk down the beach or promenade to the town is only about 15 minutes.
