Had a lovely stay at this site. I am told the facilities are very good but didn't use them ourselves. We received a friendly welcome and were directed to our pitch. It is quite a large site but somehow didn't feel too big. The warden gave us a sketch map of the way into Borth y Gest and Porthmadog. Borth y Gest is lovely, quite a walk to get to the nicer beaches along a cliff path but worth it. The last little bit to get onto the beach is a bit steep and there is only a rope hand 'rail' to hold onto. Porthmadog is always busy. The walk on the Cob is beautiful, especially looking towards the mountains. Beware the price of icecream from the steam train station shop £1. 80 for a Magnum is rather steep! Check the price before you buy! Lots to do and look at in the area. We would use the site again if we were staying in this area although we do try and stay at new sites just to keep life interesting. We do recommend you give this one a try.
We stayed here in the October half term but as Wales didn't break up until the week later it was near enough empty, we used this site as a base for our holiday as we spent most of our time away, there is a park on site which my daughter loved as it had the monkeys bars on it, the toilets and showers were lovely and clean, the ladies in the reception/shop were very friendly. We would consider returning to this site again maybe in season to try there restaurant and see what the entertainment is like.
What a lovely site, clean with lovely views of the mountain.
We had a friendly welcome and was shown to our hard standing pitch, this had electric a water tap and waste water point, a small hedge surrounded our area.
The site has areas for statics, static tourers/tents set away from the touring pitches, we liked this idea.
The site has a shop and a Restaurant this is handy but we never used them as the town was only a short drive or a twenty minute walk, it is a bit up/down hill each way so not recommended if you have a job walking.
The toilet blocks were very good and always clean.
Porthmadoc is a nice town with a number of shops also the attraction of the three steam railways, so if the weather is wet you always have something to do. We had record rainfall over two days, but this didn't spoil our stay.
The only poor point for us was the waste and recycling bins, just one point and this was a distance from the touring area's, this didn't bother us to much as we dropped them off as we went out of the site.
We would visit this site again if we are in the area again.
Stayed on this site August 2011 & 2012 well maintained, clean with lovely new toilet block, could however do with a refurbishment in the other older toilet block, disagree with having to pay 50p to use the showers, especially as they are timed, expensive if you have a few kids.
Pub on site selling food, although did not eat there, was not always busy.
Good location for the many beaches & the attractions that the area has to offer.
A really nice, clean site with friendly staff and excellent facilities. I was a bit miffed about the 50p shower charge but I suppose these modern facilities need to pay there way.
Location wise you cant ask for better, Porthmadog is a nice town with plenty of gift shops and stores to browse with a tesco for your shopping needs (turn right out the campsite gate for a spar and chippy with hassle free parking 5 mins away). In north Wales you are only ever 20-30mins away from something new. You have to spare 2 hours to go up the big hill that shadows the site, the view is amazing.
The kids playground was excellent and kept them out of mischief for hours. The bar has a friendly atmosphere with free games for the kids in the family room. The food menu however is overpriced and restricted. Reception staff couldn't have been more helpful with suggestions for days out.
My only gripe with this campsite was after 11pm it was like a library, silence is the order of the day! I fully understand that it is a family site and with two kids myself, appreciate the values they promote but it ruins the atmosphere when security are watching your every move and silencing any party spirit.
I would recommend this site to anyone but because of the over-bearing demand for silence I can only give them 7/10 overall
This was quite a large site and a bit noisy for us being 2 adults who had no children with us. I believe a few people did get told off by the warden late at night for being loud which is good thing as it shows they are keeping an eye on everyone.
Did not use the facilities so cant comment. The clubhouse was a bonus to keep the children entertained
It was great to get to the town centre, about a 20 minute walk, but a bit hilly for those who have difficulty walking.
Very pleasant site. We booked a fully-serviced, hard-standing pitch, which provided plenty of room for our caravan, porch awning and car. The hard-standing was a God-send when the torrential rain came - awning floor stayed nice and dry.
Site conveniently located, with Porthmadog within easy walking distance.
Our nearest toilet and shower block seemed relatively new and modern. Our only (minor) complaint is having to pay 50p for a shower, especially when there aren't any privacy cubicles for people to get washed. As there was only 3 showers in our ladies' block, this meant that I had to queue for a shower most days (although my husband and son didn't experience the same problem with the mens' showers).
Would recommend that the site improves its waste disposal facilities - there's only one skip at the entrance to the site, and more should be done to encourage recycling (think I'm right in saying there was only a bottle bank).
Stayed for 1 night whilst cycling Lon Las and it's a mixed review.
On the plus side the showers were excellent, the toilet block is clean and modern. There is an on site bar.
On the down side the camping area is on a slope and I felt that the site was not that bothered about having tents. I was the only tent on site and still couldn't find a flat spot to pitch - I ended up going back to ask to pitch on one of the serviced (EHU) tent spaces which are flat. Even though I was the only tent and was staying for one night I was made to feel like I was asking for the crown jewels.
The bar is pricey and didn't serve food, the showers are pricey.
I came away thinking that this was a Caravan park not a place for those under canvas.
When we were visiting, the site was very quiet with not many visitors, probably because it was beginning of October and the weather wasn't very good.
The toilets were clean and warm. The site looked well kept and the pitches were hardstanding with grass area. You pitched on the hardstanding and it was quite difficult to get the tent pegs of our awning into the flint, the grass was to separate each of the pitches.
Not far from Porthmadog and despite the hills we walked to the town on the two days we were there, it took about 15-20 minutes normal pace.
Pretty view from site too and there was a playground for children, shop which was well stocked too.
Just returned from a weeks stay having originally booked for 4 nights. The site is in a beatiful location and is clean and well kept. The new shower block is lovely, clean and warm with one larger shower cubicle which makes showering your children much easier. The play area is great and the games room is handy. We didn't feel the need to use the resturant or family room so can't comment on those. The site has a lovely family friendly atmosphere and there are kids on bikes and scooters everywhere which was great for our two.
We had a non electric pitch which, although on a slight slope, had a stunning view of Moel y Gest (the mountain behind the site). The pitches with electric hook up were very cramped in a long line with nowhere for your car apart from in front of your tent so we are glad we opted for non electric.
The village of Borth y Gest is beautiful and its well worth making the effort to climb Moel y Gest. We made it up and down on our last morning in two hours with two children aged 3 and 6. Child free it takes about an hour and is well worth it for the fantastic panoramic views.
WE stayed 5 nights and had no cause for complaint.
The site is set in beautiful surroundings and has all the amenities you would expect from a modern camp site, bar, shop. The shower blocks were very good with plenty of hot water for 50p, ( I got bored waiting to see how long they would last and got out before they were finished well showered).
They owners are pleasant and helpful and the restaurant serves filling, hearty food at a reasonable price, better than some pubs in Portmadoc.
Parts of the site are a bit sloping but nothing major, good drainage when rainy.
There is a kids play area and nice mountain walk nearby. Black rock sands is a mile or so away - you can drive on the massive beach, good for kids, (ther is a small charge weekends).
Portmadoc about 1/2 mile the other way. Has a Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Takeaways, pubs, cafes, Harbour.
All in all a nice site well placed for seeing Snowdonia.
The welcome was friendly at reception. We were putting up our awning for the first time and one of the staff stopped to help and bent one of the parts for us to help it fit better! -very helpful and friendly. The site was busy but had a lovely family atmosphere.
We stayed on pitch B4 with electric hookup and our own water tap and drain. The toilet/shower blocks were immaculate and warm. Showers are 50p but not time or water limited so you can take your time in the shower.
The hotel staff were friendly and it was a home from home with comfortable sofas.
The only criticism is the meal we had at the hotel, we had pork and apple sausages and mash which was the saltiest thing I have ever tasted and £9!
I can recommend a takeaway curry from 'passage to India' just down the hill from the campsite.
We stayed at Tyddyn Llwyn for a week, and would have loved to stay longer. Our pitch felt a little cramped, on a row of 9m wide pitches with EHU, so although our tent is pretty small compared to many, the larger tents on either side of us felt very close.
Everyone had to park their car in front of their tent, which didn't do anything to enhance the wonderful views. But on the plus side our pitches weren't on too much of a slope, unlike the non electric pitches, and each one had it's own water supply which deprived my very happy daughter of one of her usual campsite jobs!
The playground seemed to keep all the kids happy from dawn till dusk, and then at dusk the family room in the bar was ideal for sitting and playing games provided to use free of charge. We ate there once, on Sausage and Mash night and the food was gorgeous, but homecooked sausage and mash is never going to be good enough again!
The toilets and showers in the block we used were brand new, spacious and immaculate. The showers are 50p to use, and you get plenty of hot water for your money, but it was annoying that you still have to press the button every 20 seconds to keep the water flowing.
The pot wash and laundry are housed in the same block, and I did have to queue to wash my pots a few times as there is only 2 sinks. I guess I could have searched out the alternatives, but it was no drama to stand and make small talk in the queue.
A choice of 2 beaches are a short drive away. Black Rock Sands is a large open stretch of beach and you can drive right onto the sand for the sum of £4, which is very useful when you have a child who flips between wanting to build sand castles to body boarding, to kite flying, and so on!
The car makes a handy storage box for all the kit! The other beach, Borth Y Gest, is reached by a walk along a coastal path and down some steep steps, so less fun to carry all the equipment, but a lovely beach is the reward, with lots of rocks and coves and soft golden sand.
Porthmadog High Street might be one of the busiest roads I have ever driven down, the traffic is constant. We found parking at the harbour near the Tourist Information Centre was the best place, as we could actually avoid the main road almost entirely (turn right by Passage to India!)
The small shop on the campsite sells a very small range of basic essentials, plus some camping items and toys. Town has a choice of Spars, Tesco, Lidl and Aldi so no problem with shopping.
I wouldn't hesitate to return here, the sooner the better!
