 Access to this site is not difficult. The site entrance being just 100m or so from the A487. Nice friendly warden son site at the time of visit.
This is quite a large site that is split into smaller pitching areas, each giving a different outlook. The site is mostly hard standing so make sure that you have GOOD rock pegs with you as there is rock just below the gravel dressing.
Reception sells a few essentials, which is good as the nearest shop is a few miles away. For a bigger shop Porthmadog is home to a few larger supermarkets. Porthmadog also has two caravan accessory shops as well as numerous outdoor shops, including the Gelert outdoor superstore.
The site is well kept and the shower block was warm and spotlessly clean. You can ignore previous comments about the toilet block being tired as some people need to readjust their expectations a little, you are paying to stay at a campsite not a 5* hotel.
The site has a newly installed booster system, but ensure that your ariel is in direct line of sight to one of the transmitters and no trees block the signal. Most pitches are spacious but be prepared for noise if choosing one adjacent to the lane, Lorries start using it at 7. 30am and the farmer who owns the yard opposite is none too quiet when he goes about his business.

Just spent a week at this site, our first excursion to North Wales and also our first stay on a Club site.
We found the site excellent in all areas from checking in at reception through to leaving a week later. Great facilities which were first class and spotlessly clean with one slight negative comment about the water pressure in the showers which could have been better.
We met some very nice, friendly people most who have been club members for years and offered some kindly advise.
The area is amazing with plenty to do and lots of places to visit.
All in all a great weeks holiday!

Just back from a fabulous peaceful weekend at Coed Y Llwyn. The site and its facilities are immaculate and the wardens extremely friendly and helpful.
We found the dog walk ideal for early mornings and late evening trips. It is not a huge dog walk but more than adequate. Whilst we had no need for the children's play area, sited next to dog walk, it seemed perfect for the kiddies using it.
It is a large play field with swings etc. There is a lovely walk from the site which takes you up through fields and woods, around the side of the amazing power station, over the reservoir to a lovely café.
We had lunch there on the terrace overlooking the lake. Excellent food and very reasonable too. There and back about 5 miles, and not too strenuous.
Note: Found out that the pub outside the camp apparently no longer serves meals. Perhaps this may change as summer brings more people to site.

Excellent stay the week after Easter. Quiet, comfortable site and all facilities of the high standard expected by the Caravan Club. Friendly wardens. Good views. Children playground and dog walking on site. Pub next door and many other places to visit within a very short drive. Good centre for exploring Snowdonia, the many little steam railways, the coast and castles.

Just returned from spending the Easter weekend on this site and we had a fantastic time.
The site is lovely, its in a great spot and was nice and quiet. Sheep and birds all around and lovely views. The one way system on the site works very well, the pitches are dry and well drained as was the whole site. We were on a with awning pitch and it was a very good size for our caravan, awning and car.
Lots of service points well ordered with recycling bins. The facilities block is well thought out with 2 separate toilet/shower areas so there is always one available. The site was pretty much full and we we never saw queues. Wardens are friendly and reception sells some basic food bits, Easter egg hunt and games on the Sunday was enjoyed by all the children and well organised.
The park was a huge hit with our children. We were pitched right above the park area which was great. The playground is down a small hill and there is lots of room for ball games even if its a bit slopey away from the play equipment! My son managed well enough. There is a stream that runs along the bottom of the hill but it is completely fenced off from the playground as is the lovely dog walk next door.
The surrounding area we really enjoyed. We visited a children's farm in Harlech on Good Friday which was fun if a little basic (got us out of the Friday drizzle). We went on the Bleanau Ffestiniog railway to Portmadog on the Saturday, a great day out in the sunshine and seemed to be dog friendly. We also visited Swallow Falls and Betws-y-coed on Easter Sunday.
We loved this CC site and have booked to return later this year. Follow the site directions for an easy journey and look out for the road to turn down (maybe check street map). Next time we'll do a few walking trails I think, lots of walks and bike rides nearby.

A really good site which is well placed for the mountains of Snowdonia and the coast. Usual high standards you would expect from the CC. There is only one facilities block but it is a good size and well placed so that nobody has to walk too far, it also has a drying room which is useful for the Welsh weather!
The approach to the site is interesting as it feels like you're going the wrong way down a residential street however it's well signposted and quiet. If, like us, you missed the turning off the A487 to Gellylidan approaching from the East, don't panic, just continue towards Porthmadog and in a few miles there is a pub & bus stop on the right which can be used as an easy turning point. The pub opposite the entrance serves good food and is welcoming however the decor is a bit dated and it can be noisy (not really for families) some evenings.
Overall we really liked this site and would definitely go back. The CC has detailed instructions of the best way to get to the site which we followed, much to the Sat Nav's annoyance, but it meant the drive was very easy and we'd follow them again.

We visited this site at the end of August and over the bank holiday.
The journey there was uneventful and we followed the Caravan Clubs instructions on how to find the site. Access was good although there is a lack of signs from the road so make sure you are aware of the turn off prior to arrival. Easy check in with helpful wardens advising which pitches may still be available. We chose a hard standing pitch near to the play area for our 2 children (6&8). Pitches are lovely and big with plenty of space for car, awning and caravan with additional space around.
Washblocks were to the usual caravan club standard but I did find the shower cubicles a little small, however I was usually showering with a child as well. There were plenty of showers with a main block and an annex as overspill.
The playground was lovely for our 2 children, climbing frame, balance area, swings slide and some space for ball games, however it is set in a hill (as is the whole site) so ball games were made difficult. The dog walk was adequate to exercise the dog and well used, there is a small stream to one side, fenced off to stop humans but if you have a dog that likes water (as ours does) be aware that they can paddle!
The site is in a beautiful area. Not far from either beaches or mountains. We enjoyed the Blaneau Festiniog railway (there is less to do in Blaneau than Porthmadog so best to start at Blaneau and head towards Porthmadog). The Llanberis slate mine (Free) and the drive there was stunning, We travelled to the Llewyn Peninsular and their beautiful beaches, Anglesey, Caernarfon and many other places in the area. In a 2 week holiday we didn't run out of things to do and will return in the future. If you are a caravan club member don’t forget your Great Days Out vouchers and your membership cards as there are many places with discounts for members.

Very nice site and we really enjoyed the area. In comparison to the last CC site we had just left in Buxton the whole atmosphere seemed far more welcoming to families with children, sonething we have become wary of on CC sites.
The site and facilities were very clean, the planting of the borders was very nice and the whole aspect was very peaceful. By following CC instructions for route to site we had no problems.
Location was good for the Southern side of the Snowdonia park and the coast and beaches near Porthmadog and Barmouth. As a family we enjoyed the Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog railway, spending the afternoon in Porthmadog. We also visited the White water rafting centre near Bala and the kids and I paddled all the way to Bala with an instructor, really good fun. Otherwise we also did a couple of walks out of our Pathfinder walking guide of the area; I can't recommend these gidebooks enough, they never fail to deliver, the Precipe walk near Llanfachreth was really pretty and for once nice and easy.
We hadn't been to Snowdonia for a good few years and had forgotten how lovely it was - the weather was good which always helps in Wales. The site was perfect for a really nice holiday and we will be back.

This a fantastic site - although we did pick a good week weather wise! Big pitches, well maintained, toilets and showers spotless - usual Caravan Club standard. Well placed for hiking, cycling or site seeing. The only problem was we had no TV signal and were unable to watch Andy Murray win Wimbledon.
If you need to stock up on supplies there is a large Tesco 10 miles away. We are definitely planning to return.
