 Recently visited the site for a couple of days. Despite booking and arriving at 19:45 we were a bit surprised that no one was around which left us a bit unsure where to pitch. In the event we pitched in the dark on a gravel caravan hard standing which was a bit uncomfortable.

Early next morning having found the electric tent pitch we moved to the bottom of the tent field out of the wind.

Very pleasant owner and excellent value. Lots of hot water to both the toilet and washing up sinks.

Didn't use the showers as it was a short stay. First rate shop at Londis in Llanbedrog, and as Asda in Pwllheli.

Good site but watch the top of the tent field if it's going to be windy. 


Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Tent
Reviewer: Juliebsellars 1 review from this member

 I've just come home from four nights at Bodwrog.

I have to say the views were stunning. It was a bit windy, but worth it for the views.

I found the price of this camp site very reasonable. The facilities were basic but VERY clean. One of the cleanest I've ever stayed at. (And while I don't mind 'roughing it' cleanliness of facilities is very important to me).

There were two fields. One for caravans and another for tents/ camper vans. Not a huge site, and not too busy considering it was a bank holiday weekend. It had a relaxed atmosphere, kids played around the site (not too loud but allowed to play), some radios/ music could be heard but all within reasonable volume.

The toilet/shower block were not beautiful, but very clean. The showers were 50p. Expensive for a shower (from my experience of camping), but when you consider the camp site is about £10 a night cheaper than it's competitors I feel it was good value for money. Also, this may be silly, but I liked the shower trays, because they managed to keep most of the water in the shower and they drained well. My only suggestion would be to have more hooks for hanging towels in the toilet stalls in the shower block and maybe some more counterspace/shelves to put toiletries on.

Of the four mornings, there was one morning that I woke up late and only showered at 10. 30am. The shower was only luke-warm on that day. On all the other days I showered before 9. 30am and the shower was always hot. Both my husband and I found that the shower unit on the left (in both male and female) lasted longer.

On the outside of the shower block is the washing up area. Again, was well maintained and clean.

There is another male and female toilets closer to the second field. In the female toilets there was another 4/5 loos, 3/4 sinks and a socket for plugging in a hair dryer. Also very clean.

The reception area has a freezer for re-freezing ice packs. Also, on the weekend I was there I had wanted an electric hook-up but was unable to have one as all the tented pitches with hook-ups were booked. The warden/ site owner allowed me to charge my laptop. He was very helpful and accommodating.

The area around Bodwrog has two pubs. The Ship Inn was very busy and so we didn't try it. That's only a short walk away but on busy country so head-torch would be helpful at night. There is a chemist a shop and another pub nearby. The Weddw Arms pub was great especially for families as it has a great kid's play area, covered outdoor seating and it serves reasonably good food. We frequented Abersoch and Pwllheli mostly, but only found Llanbedrog beach on our last night.

We will definitely be visiting again just to spend more time there. The beach is really lovely with a bistro and toilet facilities (I didn't try either of these). There is a gallery that has a nice cafe as well if you follow Llanbedrog beach signs.

Overall the camp site was great, though basic and the area was really worth visiting.

 This was our second visit to this site. Last year we stayed for a weekend, this year we stayed for 4 days

It was very quiet, only 5 tents on the site.2 male and 2 female showers 50p each and were cold on the first day, however they were warm for the rest of our visit.

Toilets were clean, but the floor in the gents toilet has started to rot away.

Well kept site, and the owner is very helpful. Reception has a freezer for you to keep freezer packs frozen.

Access to the site is good and the surrounding area has some good places to visit.

All in all we enjoyed our stay and for £4.50 per adult per night good value for money.

Would we visit again? Yes.

Owner's comments: unfortunately there was a problem with the showers one morning but it was rectified as soon as we possible - things do sometimes go wrong on all sites - the floor in the mens portaloos - even though they were brand new in 2008 also did have a small area by the urinals which had started to sag by the end of august last year. Because of the volume of customers at the time we decided to keep them open. Both the mens and ladies portaloos have had new floors and ceilings at the end of last season as we found there was a fault with both of them even though the ladies one appeared fine.

We also have a planning application in at the moment for one large toilet and shower block to replace all the existing facilities - hopefully this will be ready for 2012.

 My family love this place, we have been several times. A basic site, which we want. No bars clubs or idiots on site.

When booking bear in mind the camp site is on a peninsular and it's high up. You are bound to get a breeze. Showers are fine, toilets are clean, a 50p shower does one adult and child easily!

Owner is a great help and friendly. Fantastic views of the stars during the night, and good scenic views during the day.

Reviewer: Helen R 4 reviews from this member

 We spent 3 lovely nights at Bodwrog.

The site is perfect if all you really want is space, a few essential facilities and fantastic views.

Some of the pitches had a slight slope but when we arrived it was really quiet so we had plenty of choice and loads of space. We even had space for our gazebo.

The toilets were very clean (especially the portaloos which were fab!)

There are 4 showers (2 male, 2 female). Lovely and hot. 50p a go - and easily lasts long enough (managed to do me and one of the kids with time to spare!)

There is a small reception area with a freezer, which was great for re-freezing the ice packs.

There was loads of space for the kids to run around. They took their bikes and no-one seemed to mind them cycling around, playing football / frisby etc which was great!

Obviously it's quite high up (hence the fab views) but as a consequence it does get quite windy! We were unlucky with the weather but it certainly didn't spoil our time there.

Locally there's a good small supermarket (Londis). Not far from Abersoch and loads of good beaches.

All in all, a great campsite. Excellent value. Would definitely go again.

Reviewer: Fjane84 10 reviews from this member

 - After a nightmare day of being let down by 3 other campsites and being re-directed due to a fire blocking our road, it was a massive relief to finally set up here!

- The medium sized site is on top of a hill, with breathtaking views across the coast and to distant mountains.

- It was busy, with a lot of children and it was noisy during the day.

- Reasonably priced at £12 a night.

- The shower/toilet block was ancient. The decrepit shower was somewhat pricey at 50p a go. Owner's comment: The toilet block was built in 2000 making it eight years old - further to that there are a further two brand new portakabin toilet blocks fitted in April 2008

- There is a slight slope to most pitches but nothing of significance.

- Theres a pub down the road, and further down is a small supermarket (a short car journey for non-walkers).

- I got up at dawn one morning and had a long walk to the beach at Llanbedrog, a fantastically scenic area. The sand has some pebbles, but it is so beautiful and peaceful there. I walked to the top of Llandbedrog head (a steep climb but worth it), and the view was awe-inspiring.

Reviewer: Emma Wheeler 1 review from this member

 This is a fantastic site, our caravan is staying there for the summer. When I first arrived, I had forgot the caravan keys, and the owner helped me break into my van. Now he is holding the keys for us, so our friends are able to use the van, when we aren't using it. The owner is lovely and really helpful. The awning was wet, when we had to leave, and he offered to take it down for us, when it had dried out. What a star!

The facilities are fantastically basic, the children had to make friends and do fun kid things, without a juke box, or arcade in sight. The views are stupendous, its quiet, and beautiful. The showers can be a bit hot, but hey ho, better hot than too cold!

 We stayed here for 3 nights in very mixed weather. The views from the site are fantastic but you do have to put up with it being quite windy.

The toilets at the top of the site are new and clean, with a socket for hairdryers etc. But there are no showers at these. There are 2 showers each for ladies and gents located near the farmhouse which are worked by inserting 50p into a meter. They are basic but seemed clean. There is a freezer in reception which is free to use for your ice-packs.

My only real criticism is that the pot washing area is uncovered and really needs a canopy over to protect you from the weather.

Value for money is excellent at only £13 per night, for 2 adults and 2 children in an 8 berth tent.

The Ship Inn is within walking distance and the food was good with a play area for the children. Llanbedrog beach was very stony and there are a lot better ones just a little further away. The Londis at the bottom of the road was really well stocked. Apart from the torrential rain on the last day when we were packing up we had a good weekend.

 Just got back from 3 nights at Bodwrog. Fantastic views of both Llandedrog beach and Abersoch Beach!

Site appears well run. A little basic, but that is how we like it. (keeps it cheap).

We were in tent with EHU and on arrival were given a choice of pitches. Whole site on a slight slope but don't let this put you off. There is a brick built toilet and shower block and a set of toilets 'mid field' in a new 'portable type'. Both very clean. Showers are 50p (and only a 50pence piece), so make sure you've got some. There is a freezer in reception which we used for our ice blocks.

Couple of pubs close by both seving good beers and fantastic food. Very close to Llanbedrog Beach, and what a beach. Fantastic.

The site is surrounded by a good sized hedge which does offer some protection. On our last night we had thunder, lightening and rain and more rain, but we didn't feel too exposed.

We had relatives staying in a chalet close by and this may possibly become a yearly event for us and I'm looking forward to our return.

 This is a great site with lovely views over the headland, although somewhat windy if you get a spot near the edges you should be ok.
You will need a car to get around as the bus services are extremely rare lol.
The facilities are clean tidy and what you would expect although not the ritz which reflects on the price.
This is a well run site and the prices per night/week are extremely good.
Been going to this site on and off for years now and seen it from when it was just a basic field with a shower but now there has been a little investment into it its a lovely well run park,
The owner is happy to answer any questions you may have or if you have any trouble with the livelier bunch of campers as although it is a families only site you do on occasion get the more rowdier bunch lol.
All in all its a great value site with extremely good views overlooking the sea and those two islands, cant remember the names of them now.
There are also a number of good walks in and around the area and there is a local car boot on  a sunday in the field bout a mile down road where bargains galore can be found.
