 This was our first camping trip as a family so we were a bit apprehensive. Bought a cheap Aldi tent and off we went.
Found the site quite easily but arrived in a quite a strong wind and as the site is on a hill and exposed it was quite a a task putting the tent up. It could be mentioned that this site is high up and potentially exposed but hey so is the whole peninsula so what do we expect?? The views are great though and in good weather there's not many places to beat it.
The owners offered there help and once we got sorted we realised this site is really good.
The owners are really friendly and helpful and obviously take a lot of pride in what they have achieved with the site. The facilities are excellent and toilet/shower block is of a very high standard.
You need a car to get to beach/Abersoch but it's very quiet and family friendly.
Thanks and we'll be back, oh and tent was ok for the price we'll upgrade when it falls apart which will probably be quite soon!

We're just back from camping at the Willows for a week and I want to let everyone know what an out-standing site it is. On a sunny day the views were magnificent. The owners Anna and Miles were always on hand and were friendly and efficient.
The new shower block was luxurious with plenty free hot water and hair dryers for 20p a shot. The new washing up chalet had four sinks with free hot water and use of a microwave oven or kettle, again for 20p in the slot, also a fridge free of charge.
In the summer house there's a fridge freezer for campers to use at no charge, and maps, local info and books to read and return.There's also a TV in there. You can order local eggs, bacon and sausages and 8oz beef burgers on site.
The local shop is well stocked and in walking distance. The Ship Inn in Llanbedrog does good food. There's a security barrier and you get a card to operate it, for a deposit of £10.
We heard the cuckoo and the sound of curlews every day. The only problem was the midgies, so take some Jungle Formula.
Looking forward to returning.

Just returned from 3 day stay @ the willows. Every aspect was perfect.Clean toilets,showers perfect Washing up area just right. Even though Bank holiday no queuing or lack of hot water. I had drained our battery forgetting our cooler box plugged in over night, the owners got on to it right away & got the battery leads out. We will certainly be going there again Top marks

My partner and I have just returned from spending the Spring Bank Holiday at The Willows. This site by far is the best we have ever stayed at and we will most certainly be returning soon.
The location is perfect, approximately a 5 minute drive from Abersoch and Pwllheli for local amenities (a smallish Asda in Pwllheli but can get very busy at peak times ) but, there is a small village newsagents / post office about 5min walk away from the campsite for all essentials and a pub about a mile away, but be warned it is a hard walk back up the hill to the campsite!
The pitches themselves are very generous in size and the ground is very flat / soft and sheltered from high winds by hedges– ideal for camping, we were very lucky with the views from our pitch but the scenery all around the site is simply breath taking on a sunny day.
The toilet / shower blocks have been very well done out, clean and close to all pitches – ladies there are hairdryers and points for straighteners at a charge of 20p!
The kitchenette provides free hot water for washing up and access to a fridge / freezer free of charge and has many windows so you can admire the view whilst washing the dishes!
The ‘summer house’ has details of all local restaurants, local amusements (We recommend the beach at Llanbedrog owned by the National Trust, approx 2min drive from the campsite, there is a lovely café just by the beach and access to beach huts but it did get busy throughout the day), taxi numbers and there is also access to a TV in case there is something you urgently wanted to watch.
The barrier access to the site is very comforting, you are issued with a card that operates the barrier on arrival at a fee of £10, which you get back on return of the card on departure.
The owners are always close by to answer any questions you may have and offer there knowledge of the area to those who are not in the know.
All in all a lovely weekend, we are both checking the calendar for when we can go again!

This was our first visit to 'the willows' and we will certainly be back, in fact we have booked two more weekends already.
We go camping a lot in the Peak District but I have to say this is the nicest site we have ever been lucky enough to stay at. The facilities are immaculate, the views stunning and the owners very helpful. There is a brand new toilet and shower block that puts other sites to shame.
The views from the site are stunning and the local, well stocked, provided all the ingredients for Sunday breakfast.
Admittedly, we did go on a beautiful sunny weekend but this site is just first class.
If it was possible to give 11 out of 10 this site would get it. I hope that if it gets busier people respect the facilities and keep the site as nice as it is now!

We are new to the whole camping experience so as expected myself and good friend did some detailed research of all campsites in the Abersoch area. I must say it was a no brainer for us once we looked at The Willows web site, the endless list of facilities that were available, very detailed and easy to navigate.
The electric security gate at the entrance was very reassuring and gave us a sense of comfort. The new shower block is amazing very well done with a clean finish. The campsite layout is well thought out with plenty of room to have your own personal space.
The facilities were clean, tidy and modern. This campsite made such an impression on us that we wouldn't consider camping anywhere else! Free hot water anytime you need a freshen up or to clean some dishes.
Anna and Miles are very friendly and make you feel right at home. They are always about if you need their assistance, directions, taxi numbers and so on.
Whether your hard campers or new campers this is the place to be.

Took a mid week break here, the sites pleasantly located sufficiently out of Abersoch for peace and quiet but handy enough to explore Abersoch if you want.
The owners were a very genuine and friendly and welcoming to campers. They were helpful in giving local information there is also an information cabin on site which is a good source of reference for what's available in the area, places to eat etc.
The pitches were split between 3 grassed camping fields level and well spaced. The toilet block was adequate (20p for showers),I understand this is being upgraded in the near future laundry facilities are also available.
Although Admittedly mid week we were impressed just how quiet the site with the impression thankfully that rowdy behaviour isn't tolerated.
Access to the site is restricted by a barrier a refundable £10 deposit gets you an access card.
A good site that offers value for money.

This has got to be close to my perfect camp site - spectacular location in rural setting just above Abersoch, with amazing sea views. It isn't cheap but there is a strict limit on pitches and occupancy, so you're not camped on top of somebody else. The pitches are well marked out. The washblocks and showers are perfectly adequate, although due to be redeveloped in the near future. Very friendly owners and all the facilities you can think of, including secure access, freezers, local produce, excellent tourist information. I visited with my brother, but this is an ideal site for families and we will be back soon. PS midgies bad at dusk so take some repellent - we found that Jungle Formula was very effective.

Our first trip in our van, so we wanted a good experience, which is exactly what we got!. Very nice owners, friendly and helpful. Site was clean, nice quiet pitches with a wonderful view from the top field.
We were very pleased that we stayed here and will definitely go back soon.
We preferred the pub at the bottom of the hill to the ship though, went in a nobody served us for 5 mins so we walked out?

Lovely site with great views. Owners are friendly and can give lots of tips on local walking. We went in the Easter Holidays and had a field to ourselves (although it was apparently full the previous Bank Holiday weekend). Facilities ok. Site has a hut with lots of local tourist information. Takes longer than you might think to get to the beaches around the peninsula and the tiny roads must be a nightmare in the summer. But very easy to get to Caernarfon and to Llanberis (for Snowdon).

We arrived at this site on one of the most seriously windy days of June. We had a friendly greeting from the campsite owners and the offer of assistance to put up our tent was very gratefully accepted! Miles, the owner was a star and almost single handedly put up our 6 berth tunnel tent, even giving us a spare pole for our broken one! The wind was the damaging kind but fortunately our tent stayed intact (I think mostly due to the good shelter provided by the hedging around the tent fields). The site is very high up and takes some strong winds.
The site is very clean, tidy and well kept. Spacious level pitches, gravel paths (no mud and well drained). No hook ups for tents (but who needs it anyway?) There is a card operated barrier that adds to the general air of security. The showers and toilets are NOT basic but are warm and comfortable. There is plenty of mirrors and a hairdrier. Showers and hairdrier cost 20p (I managed to shower and dry my hair for 40p). I read on a previous review about the sinks being too small but personally I didn't find this an issue. There are paper towel and soap dispensers.
The site takes dogs without charge and there are no restrictions except the obvious about tethering, leads and cleaning up etc. (This was a big bonus for us as we have four!) There is a good dog exercise field and bin for bags etc.
There is a cozy little washing up house that has two sinks and a freezer. Hot water for washing up costs 20p. There is also a summerhouse with a tv, and more fridges and freezer. These are really handy and we used the fridge and freezer daily, there is no extra charge. The summerhouse has plenty of printed local information and Anna has compiled a good folder of restaurants, menus, telephone numbers of take aways, local beaches, emergency numbers etc. There is also an abundance of the usual printed info of local attractions. Anna and Miles live on site, are always available and are happy to help out with advice on travel routes, places to go etc. Miles and Anna have obviously put a lot of thought and care into developing this site and a lot of effort into anticipating needs.
The site has clear rules about noise etc. And for us, who wanted nothing more than peace and quiet and to go to bed early after a long day, this was ideal. We were never disturbed and heard nothing other than the sound of the sheep in the next fields (Oh, and the rain and the wind on the tent!)
The site is not within walking distance to any beaches, but is a short drive (5 mins to closest, 10 to Abersoch). There is not really any immediate walks around the site without taking to the roads, which is not really safe with a few dogs or children as the roads are narrow, it's better to use the car and then walk. Nice beaches, mostly dog friendly but don't do as we did and drive all the way to Whistling Sands to find there is absolutely no dogs (very snooty Nat Trust car park attendant).
The site is on a hill so has lovely views on a clear day, but gets very misty and seems to get lost in the clouds on an 'iffy' day. Sometimes it can seem bad weather whilst on site but be quite clear at the bottom of the hill!
All in all, very nice.

Stunning location with fantastic views out over the sea and to the mountains. Anna and Miles couldn’t be more convivial hosts and the location of the site coupled with the quiet relaxed atmosphere makes for an ideal “get away from it all” kind of a place for a holiday or short break.
The facilities are well appointed, exceptionally clean and well maintained. The pitches are level and spacious. There is a local shop within five minutes walk which is well stocked and Abersoch is less than ten minutes down the road (in the car).
Yr Helyg is ideally placed to explore the local area and its locations and, yes, the beaches really are as good as they look in the photos on the web site!
The only disappointment was that we had to come home, but we’ll definitely be back. Thoroughly recommended.

We booked this site as a last minute panic and was a little unsure of what to expect (had exhausted all other options). Any doubts that we had were removed within an hour of setting up camp. The site is beautifully maintained, the staff are most welcoming and facilities spotless.
There is a small charge of 20p for the showers but nothing to complain about (40p is more than enough) and never had to queue - certainly a lot cheaper and cleaner than previous experiences.
We had possibly the best pitch on the site and woke up to breathtaking views each morning. We enjoyed the experience so much that we are currently booking our next holiday and will always check availability at The Willows before any other site in the area.
If you are looking at camping in the area you will not be disappointed.

This was our fist real camping expedition and a high standard was set! We booked for the Bank Holiday and stayed for two nights, with our early departure down to the wet weather and a leaky tent! The booking was based on their website only, and we were not disappointed.
The camp site was extremely well planned out, each plot extremely spacious, all the facilities were well equipped, clean, tidy, and in working order, and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. The site was very secure and we had no concerns about leaving our gear while we went exploring, largely due to the family and couple atmosphere.
The view from the site is breathtaking over Abersoch and the surrounding area and there was enough amenities to be more than comfortable without losing the 'roughing it' aspect that is part of the whole camping experience. We are already in discussions with siblings to go again with the nieces and nephews next time - and a sturdier tent! - Highly recommended.
