An excellent site with first class facilities. A great deal of money and effort obviously invested. The solar generation of electricity and warm water is a feature with impressive displays of system performance live in reception. (A real plus for retired engineers!).
The staff are friendly and accommodating with nothing too much trouble. I saw them assist in awning erection and also return to site after hours to assist a late arrival due to breakdown. First class cheerful people.
Barmouth itself is interesting with excellent beach and of course the brilliant walk across the estuary bridge; not to be missed. The Bistro Bermo serves really good food; thoroughly recommended. Did not eat in 'The Last Inn' but certainly an interesting place to spend an hour or two with proper beer.
Finally, the site has an offer running through to January @ £12/night, two adults included. Excellent value, will return.
Our first visit to this site and I have nothing but good things to say. It is slightly pricey but you get exactly what you pay for.
The campsite is immaculate. Very very well maintained. Toilet facilities always clean and very modern with ample for everyone. Washing facilities for plates etc was big and again always clean and there is a laundry which had freezer capabilities.
The site is very safe with everyone being issued a key fob for entry to the site and for entry to the toilets etc, so no one can get onto the site who shouldn't be there.
There was a field for camping, plenty of static sites, glamping and we were on C27 which was hard standing and hd the perfect view of the sea. It can be windy here so be prepared and make sure you have the correct pegs for the hard standings if you are not in the field.
There was a small playground which our 2 kids loved. There was a big dog walking field and there is a perfect restaurant/chippy literally 3mins away. You can access the sister site which has access to the beach but we only did this once as there were better beaches elsewhere, but it was still very good, and is a 15min walk. The reception is well stocked and you can buy wifi, although it wasn't great, but you are warned about this before hand.
We drove to Abersoch for a day, enjoyed Harlech Castle and the most perfect beach at Harlech which is very quiet. Make sure you go there! We also visited Portmeirion and spent 2 days visiting friends in Aberdyfi, which is just 30miles away.
The site was perfect for us to explore west Wales.
I can't recommend this time site enough. Bar one grumpy lady on reception, everyone was lovely and very very helpful, especially the older man who seemed to look after the whole site (Mr Williams?).
If around this part of the country again, we will definitely visit again, as the 5 star award does it justice and more.
Just back from my second visit to this site and I will be going back for a third visit
This time my wife and I took our daughter and 2 granddaughters, we asked for the pitch we had on our last visit (none electric hook up)the ground is nice and flat and easy to get your pegs in the ground, The play area was well used by the granddaughters and it safe. As last time the toilets and showers immaculate and it would seem cleaned every hour the site shop has a good selection of standby items and all the staff are very helpful and friendly.
Unfortunately, our visit was a bit disappointing. We stayed in a 'glamping pod'. Which was very clean and warm! Within our price was electric, heating and a TV and DVD. We noticed the DVD was broken on arrival so we popped down to reception to let someone know. Nothing was done about this. Nobody seemed bothered that we were very put out by this! The TV did not have very good signal either so I would recommend taking your own entertainment facilities.
The toilet/shower facilities were clean and well kept, my only recommendation would be that there was no cleaning equipment (i. E. Anti bacterial spray or cloths) for guests to clean up after themselves. There was also 2 occasions when I used the toilet to find there was no toilet roll in the holder. This again would not have been a problem if spare rolls were available for guests to help themselves.
Our 3 night stay was altogether lovely though, Barmouth is just a 10 minute drive and the Trawsdir site is very clean and well kept, a very friendly atmosphere too.
The site deserves it's 5 star rating. The customer service is not quite there yet!
We will definitely be going back. 5 star facilities and the wardens (2 couples) couldn't do enough for you, every so pleasant but not 'in your face' the dog field was kept so tidy you'd think it was a back lawn rather than a dog area. Views to die for. Pitches spaced enough away from your neighbours. You can walk to the local (dog friendly) pub, the menu looked less than appealing but we were really really pleasantly surprised. But they don't do sandwiches for lunch at the weekends! We really didn't want for anything on this site although the TV reception was a little hit n miss, but the views of the sea and mountains made up for it! If the site was on the 'other side' (beach) of the road it would be perfect but then I'm sure that would be reflected in the price too. Great refuse disposal areas/TB's etc. etc. A little shop on site sold any 'essentials' but not make-up so it wasn't particularly 'glamping' for me as that was all I forgot to pack. We drove to the sister site where it's not so pretty - full of rows and rows of statics but the beach is great for the dogs to have a good run. An easy drive then to Shell Island (but we won't be rushing back - don't really know what all the fuss is about). Plus we went in their 'red' period so it worked out at just £12 per night for the 2 of us in our tourer.
Just returned from 8 days on this site, everything is immaculately clean and tidy, the warden and his wife are very friendly. All pitches are very large hard standing with individual water and grey water points, Toilets and showers are exceptional. Ground was very hard at the time of our visit so a good supply of rock pegs is advisable, as is a metal hammer as we could not get the pegs in with a rubber mallet
Very good views over the bay. Good dog walking field next to the site and access to the sandy safe beach is through the sister site (statics) about 1/2 mile away.
No fuel is available in Barmouth but there is a petrol station in Duffryn about 3 miles away. Spar shop in Duffryn has a very good fresh meat counter and to save going into Barmouth for cash offer a cash back service if paying by debit card.
Cannot recommend highly enough and we will be returning in Sept.
Very small on site shop selling milk, newspapers and a small selection of groceries and camping accessories.
Just had a second year here. 5 days end of June, arrived Friday weather good, Saturday gale force winds, our new vango amazon signature 600 stood up to the weather no problems. Yet again cannot fault this site, or its staff all very helpful. Site is a 5 * and is spotless. Excellent showers, toilets washup area, and laundry. Good on site shop. Pitches are big and level at the top and and the front field. We were at the back of the site, which is raised, with lovely sea views. Cannot fault this site at all. Only moan, is push button showers, every 20secs, and maybe could be an area for cleaning your dog after being on the beach etc. Overall wouldn't hesitate to return, and lots to do around the area.
I chose this site based on the reviews here, just did not feel like roughing it this weekend and was not disappointed. We arrived on the Saturday - it was that hot weekend which is half the battle. I had not realised we had booked an electric pitch but the spot was actually preferable. Located at the back of site, well sheltered but still great views. Lots of space to pitch 2 x 2man tents.
Downside was stony pitch meant we have a few bent pegs now. Staff really friendly and helpful. When packing up we accidentally smashed our boot window with a kiteboard. It was starting to rain but the lovely man there came over and helped grumpy hubby make a temp repair - outstanding!
There is a little shop in reception with essentials and a pub complete with chippy within walking distance. Toilets are really clean and showers nice and warm (could do with that timer being a bit longer though).
We visited the local huge beach which is a walk through the sister campsite. Also visited Barmouth, cracking little town but get there early to park. Great location for families with young children.
Would definitely go again and use as a base to visit beautiful local areas. It isn't the cheapest site but you do get what you pay for here.
Stayed here for 3 lovely peaceful days. It was very quiet, only a handful of people, but the facilities were top notch & the welcome warm. We also got an absolute bargain, taking advantage of their 3 nights for the price of 2 (sept/oct offer).
We took a pitch next to the dog field, giving us a fantastic view, especially of the sunset every evening over the sea. The toilets & showers were the best I've had in the last 2 years, underfloor heating, piped radio 2 & large roomy shower cubicles with sinks & enough room to have a shower & dry yourself without everything getting soaked. The dishwashing area had massive windows looking out to sea, a view it would seem impossible to tire of.
The dog field was massive, great for exercising them. And best of all, there was a pub lying at the other side of it, and not only that, but the path is lit at night so you can safely find your way back, even after a few pints. The pub itself was a bit bland, not exactly the traditional village local, but the food ok, and it served alcohol so did the job.
Not a lot round here is open in October, but Davy Jones locker is a lovely little cafe in Barmouth, & there's a gorgeous tea shop in Harlech that blends its own tea, has amazing selection of tea with a terrace overlooking the castle (Cemlyn tea shop). The nearby site with statics for hire (caerddaniel) is a sister site & you can access the beach via the site, which makes a lovely walk.
Overall this site was exactly what we were after, great views, more luxurious facilities than most places, peace, quiet & great staff. All in all a perfect place to chill!
Four of us (2 adults, a three and a four year old) stayed at the site for 4 days at the end of August.
This site is fantastic!
We had booked to come earlier in the year, but had camped elsewhere for several days first. During this time, our tent lost its battle against the Welsh weather and completely fell apart. I rang this site and explained and they were happy to move my booking (even at such short notice) to another time. I was really pleased about this.
When we arrived, the gentleman who showed us to our pitch was friendly and helpful. Our pitch was on the front line as it were, overlooking the sea. There was a road running alongside the site which we were close to, but it wasn't really very noisy.
There was plenty of space for our little ones to run around whilst we put the tent up. The pitch was flat and well maintained, although a bit stoney, you need a mallet!
The on site playground was good for the children and the shop was well stocked and had everything we needed, even big tv screens with weather information!
The shower, toilet and washing up facilities were the best we've seen. They were clean all the time, nice hot showers but not too hot, plenty of space in the undercover pot washing area, the toilets were spotless!
The weather was atrocious for a couple of days but the site didn't flood. It did get very windy however, being sited on a hill above the sea. Our tent is a strong one but weaker tents were struggling to hold up to the winds.
All in all a 5* site with excellent facilities! We will certainly be returning.
We have just returned from a weeks stay at Trawsdir, we are are caravanners & by own admission have a high expectation of site facilities. To say we were not disappointed is an understatement, the site is run effectively & maintained to the highest of standards, with superb facilities etc.
We asked for a quiet pitch away from the main the road through the site as we have 3 children under 6yrs & were allocated pitch C34. Having looked around the site I feel for a family with young children this is best area. There is a large grass area directly
Opposite your pitch which the children could play on & ride their bikes around the service road which runs around the pitch area.
There is a slight design problem with the grey water drainage on these pitches as they are raised & virtually at the same level as the caravan floor, causing some difficulty with waste drainage, however this was remedied by the site staff who cut out the raised concrete section & fixed me up with a length of rigid waste pipe, problem solved.
The only downside & its not for want of trying by the site management is the number of feral children who allowed to congregate in the facilities block in the evening, you have to questain some parental responsibility, though the security man does try to deal with it.
Second visit to this site. Very well kept and organised site. Toilet block and showers ultra modern and spotlessly clean. Good dog walking area, pub and food short walk through dog walking field. Had a super pitch and the sunsets are stunning. A little road noise but the site is more than worth it. No problem with noise at night during our visit. There is a sister site further along the road where you can access the beach easily. Will definitely return next year.
Fantastic site. Clean and tidy, staff constantly working keeping the site in ship shape condition.
Toilets and shower blocks fabulous and again kept tidy 24/7.
Close enough to Barmouth and Harlech.
You can also access the beach at their sister campsite which is a 5 minutes walk away. We were pitched on the top field, which was brilliant. Our kids we're happy with the park area.
The only negative and it's more me trying to find a negative for this campsite, I wished they would allow campers to have the opportunity to use bucket fires during the evening to keep the chill off whilst you watched the sunset over the sea.
Stayed for a few days here last summer. Lovely little site! Each pitch is clearly marked out, I'd say about 10 square metres, with an electric and water point set in the middle of 4 pitches, so you didn't have far to go. Gorgeous views over Cardigan bay.
Adequate play park on the site for the children. Immaculate toilet/laundry/kitchen area, cleaned twice a day if I remember rightly. The new toilet block had under floor heating and Radio 2 piped in 24/7, which was lovely!
When the main toilets were cleaned, they were closed and the older toilet block opened. Inside the laundry room was a freezer where you could re-freeze your ice blocks free of charge.
The only criticism I would have is that the on-site shop didn't open until 9. 00am. Which when you've got kids wanting breakfast & not enough milk to go round was a bit frustrating!
This was last summer though, they may have changed now. If you stay here you can access the beach (on the other side of the road, not really walkable to) via their sister site, which was useful! I would recommend this site as a lovely basic site, half way between Barmouth & Talybont, perfect
