 We have spent many a weekend or bank holiday here.
We would bring the jet ski set up the tents and have a great time.
The owners are very friendly and always made us very welcome.
Facilities are good, Pub, Shop and a children's play area.
Close to the beach (5 mins in car or a nice 20 minute walk)
Toilets are very clean
Shower block has plenty of hot water
We will return but next time in a caravan

Our first real camping holiday and we couldn't have chosen a better place.
On arrival we were given a warm welcome and directed to a slightly sloped area to pitch. The pitch site was great, with shade from the sun available from the trees.
Staff are friendly and helpful and there was a nice atmosphere in the bar. Please be aware that at the time of our stay that they did not do meals although Porthmadog is only down the hill.
Although not the most modern toilet facilities, they were clean and well presented.
On the whole a pleasant site in a good location to travel to some of the wonders of North Wales.

Absolutely ideal site!
Visited this site last year in a tent, and had a great stay despite the terrain being incredibly hilly. Which ever place you decide to pitch, you are likely to be sleeping on a slope!
This year, took a tourer. Our pitch (B6) was enormous, and really easy to manoeuvre into with our large continental van.Lovely spacious areas per pitch, with either grass or hardstanding. The staff are really friendly and helpful- they are a constant presence around and about the park, which is both reassuring and helpful!
The site shop is well stocked with fresh milk, eggs, bread etc and there is a games room and launderette at reception. There is also the facility to wash/flush out a boat/ jetski which is brilliant as we normally camp with the latter.
Two shower/ toilet blocks all year round are available, plus one extra during peak season.(50p per 8 mins of shower a little mean)
The children's playpark could do with a revamp, or a rethink, as they are basically just a few log frames, however this is my only criticism for a site that has a real holiday feel to it.
Traffic is normally heavy during high season into Porthmadog, however it is an easy walk into the town, and there is plenty to do, such as a walk around the beautiful harbour or along the Cob, or a ride on the steam railway.
With only a 5 min drive to the best beach in Wales - Black Rock Sands -or in Welsh Morfa Bychan - and with almost guaranteed sunshine with its' proximity to the Welsh West Coast, assuming we don't experience a summer like 2008, Definitely a site to try!

We visited this site twice during August 2008, initially for a weekend and then for 5 nghts after the August B/Hol weekend.
We went on the recommendation of friends who have a touring caravan.
Wanting EHU we were put on pitch C2 for the first weekend trip. The pitch was reasonably flat but not very big for our tent and car. Up to C9 are the EHU tent pitches and these all run along the main road into the touring area. Although not a road as such this bit of the park does get quite busy and there are some big caravans and motorhomes coming and going along this part, not that great with young children. Additionally C1,2 and 3 are very close to the gate leading out of the pitching area and to the bar and shop and down to the road, not at all suitable with young children.
The site itself is beautiful, not too comercialised and well looked after. The toilet blocks are not particularly modern and on our arrival weren't that clean, but we found out the regular cleans are done in the afternoons.
On our second visit we asked if we could pitch on one of the grass pitches on the lower area where mostly caravans etc are, we were initally told 'no' but after an email sent explaining the reasons why especially given we had seen tents in this area on our first visit we were told if we came after the B/holiday then we could. So we did. We now undrstand that with the exception of C1-9 all serviced pitches are going to become hardstanding and the site is very much gearing for caravans rather than tents.
That said its a lovely site and has a lot going for it, would we go again? Yes we would but I would still be vary wary with young children on pitches C1-9.

Seriously overpriced!
This site is big and caters more for caravans than tents. Virtually no level pitches unless you choose a serviced one and the nearest thing to level we did find killed off most of my pegs with the rocks.
The hotel/bar was more like a 1970s working mens club and the nearest toilet block was woefully inadequate for for the number of people at that end of the site, particularly with one of the showers being out of order for the full week.
The staff were all helpful and friendly but at five star prices I could afford to be as well.

Stayed here for 7 nights through till the Tues after the bank hol and all in all its a good site. Weather not too good and grass land sodden but you can't blame them for that. Had a fully serviced pitch which was loose slate chippings so it was ok for pitching in the wet weather.
There is a hotel with a bar on the site and that was great. Had a couple of good nights in there over the weekend. Toilets could be better and for all of our 7 night stay one shower was 'temporarily out of order'. Yes would stay again and if you visit you must go to Borth Y Gest beach which is beautiful.

Just returned from 4 nights on this site, not a bad place to stay, very quiet during the week but can get a bit noisy at weekends with children running around as there is not much for them to do but run riot. There is a small play area & a games room which requires supervision as well as in the family room of the bar area, which is closed on a Thursday.
Tent pitches C1-C9 have electric hook-up & own water supply these are nice & level otherwise you take pot luck as to were you pitch your tent as there are approx 3 areas you can choose from two of which are on slopes with very little level ground. There are three toilet blocks on site only two were operational so for some of us there was a lengthy walk to use the amenities once reached they were clean & tidy and the showers which were hot & cost 50p.
Roads within the campsite are extremely hilly so not recommended if you have trouble walking this also includes the road down to Porthmadog which is about 20 minutes away, 5 by car. This is where you will find Tesco, Aldi & Lidl as well as several local shops.
Turn left out of the campsite & approx 2 minutes away is a lovely village called Borth Y Gest with lovely views out to PortMeirion and coastal walks round to a small secluded beach and beyond. Turn right and this will take you to Black Rock Sands 5 minutes by car (too far to walk) £3 at weekends to take you car onto the beach doesn't appear to be a charge during the week.
If you have a caravan/campervan the pitches are hardstanding or grass again with facilities.
We enjoyed our short stay here and would definitely be going back.

We have just returned from a lovely 4 night camping trip at this site.
The site is largely made up of hard standing full service pitches, a fair number of caravans that appeared to be there for the whole season, mobile homes (appeared to be privately owned), a few levelled camping pitches with hookup, then a few different sloped fields for tents. We were told to pick our own spot and found a lovely flat area sheltered by trees. It's good you can pitch anywhere as it is generally very sloped and it was a challenge to find a flat spot the size of our tent!
The facilities on site included:
- a well stocked shop with toys, sweets, basic provisions and camping supplies, ice block freezing for 25p, tourist information leaflets and folders of useful information put together by the campsite. Very friendly and helpful staff. We paid an extra £3 for late checkout (to be able to stay till 5pm rather than noon)- definitely worth to get an extra afternoon on site!
- a games room (which appeared to have a pool table and arcade games but we didn't actually go in it)
- a reasonably priced bar including family room
- a childrens play area
- Two open toilet blocks (plus an older tattier looking portacabin which was closed)
- plenty of water taps dotted arund the site
The toilet blocks were very clean and well cared for. The block we used had 2 dishwashing sinks undercover outside, then in the ladies were 4 toilets, 3 sinks, 3 showers, a baby changing table and hairdryer (20p). The showers are 50p, hot and last a good while. However, it is just a shower cubical - there is no where to put your clothes apart from the 1 peg on the back of the door which gets splashed as there is no partion or curtain, bench etc, so be sure to bring a bag for your stuff - I tried all three and according my other half they're just the same for men and women. Also the showers are still push button despite paying 50p. You can't adjust the temperature and having to keep pushing the button is a bit annoying, I think.
The site is ideally located for access to Porthmadog- about 15 minute walk from the site. We were staying here for a wedding on the Ffestiniog Railway and easily and safely walked there and then back afterwards. I would highly recommend the Spooners pub on the railway platform, serving great local real ales. Black Rock Sands beach is a short drive away and as you can drive onto the beach, ideal for a sunny day.
Directly behind the site is Moel-y-gest hill which overlooks the area. Although steep and rocky in places it's a relatively quick walk with amazing views of Criccieth Castle, Black Rock beach, Porthmadog, over the Cob and estury and in the distance Harlech castle and even Snowdon. Just be warned that the paths are through bracken so if it's been wet you will get soaked and will need shoes with good grip!
A fanastic site well looked after and obviously the owners have attention to detail - highly recommended. From previous experience I would say it's worth being just this little further from the sea in order to get the high standard of faciliites and in my opinion more considerate guests than the beach side sites.

I have just returned from this site after a 5 day stay. What a lovely site. 3 toilet / shower / dishwash blocks and all are immaculate. Cost was £7.00 pp/pn. There is a club house which has a super family room with pool table and an assortment of board games behind the bar for all to use. Also has a big screen t.V. And sky sports. There is also a seperate room for adults only. The bar managers Mervin and Pauline are perfect hosts and do there utmost to give any info required.
Is a short drive to Porthmadog and Black rock sands. You can walk it in about 30 mins which is fine going, but a very steep uphill climb coming back.
They dont allow big groups or gangs on site as this is very much a family campsite, all parents are very responsible with there children and even though there is a small games room next door to the club, you never see any children hanging around or making noise.
Children are only allowed in the club when accompanied by an adult. There is an on site shop selling bread, eggs, milk etc and gas is available here too.
I will be returning to this site time and time again. You should visit it at least once, then draw your own conclusions.

Have been going to this site for about 4 years with my family, this year was a real mud bath, not the sites fault as the weather was very wet, our pitch which was prebooked was the muddiest on the site as it was at the bottom of the hill. Complained about this when arrived was told site was full and could not move, though did see empty pitches throughout our stay, showers and toilets very clean but 50p for a shower when you have a family of five is a bit steep, great locatation and fair play when we got home owner of the site rung me up apologised for the muddy pitch and offered us two free nights so will go back as we love the location.

Just returned from a weeks holiday at what once was our favourite site. We have spent many happy stays there over the last few years but alas things have taken a turn for the worst. Gone is the children's play area (there is talk of a replacement but no signs as yet)replaced by new hard standing pitches. The ageing toilet block at the heart of the site was to be replaced over the winter break but alas again no investment. It is worth noting however that there are 2 other blocks on site which are kept to a high standard by the on site wardens.
The site was excusably looking worse for wear given the wet summer we have experienced. However many of the roads especially on the touring field are devoid of top stone covering which unfortunately resulted in plums of white dust following every car that passed which, at meal times, was a real pain. It got so bad at times that all windows on both cars and vans had to be kept firmly shut to prevent a layer of fine white dust settling on all exposed surfaces.
I have tried to keep this review balanced and so it is again worth noting that the friendliness of the staff in both the camp shop and the site wardens continues to be first class. The issue I feel is that the focus has been placed firmly on squeezing more into the same area without ensuring the infrastructure to cope with such expansion is in place first.
On the entrance to the site is a sign that says "Family friendly site" and yet there is no area for the kids to play ball games nor are they allowed to play next to their pitches. Instead their only respite is an extremely small games room.
Most people I spoke to had the exact same overall view and again most said they would not becoming back in the near future unless the site changes for the better. This is I'm afraid my view also. This picturesque site has unfortunately been spoilt by lack of investment in the areas that count to the visitor. It fair to say that some levelling work was completed last winter and additional hook ups have been installed but this again is focused on squeezing more out of less.
In summary, what once was a beautiful site in a lovely location has succumbed to commercial pressures and lost sight of the values that made this a great site in the past.

First time to this camp . Very friendly staff in shop and hotel .Nice comfy sofa in the lounge .I nearly fell asleep in there . Under refurb at moment so no restaurant .
Good that you can pick your own pitch to camp although they are mainly all on a slope , so kept sliding down the airbed .
Not good in the rain , very hard to get car up the hills in the mud .
Showers and toilets clean . Plug points didnt work . No bins on site . Have to take rubbish to skip at entrance but this does stop rabbits and squirrels rooting for food .
Other than that a lovely camp site within walking distance to porthmadog .Nice drive to Portmerion and Snowdon Railway two definate great attractions close by .

A great family site. Small play area for children to meet, but the stream running through site seemed like a muddier but more appealing prospect to most of the children on site (including mine).
Toilets and showers were fine, clean and all in working order, pub on site offered good sized family friendly room and extras such as bingo, quiz, etc.
My only comment would be on the price, for my small 2 man tent with only myself and 5 year old, I was paying the same as someone with a much larger 4 man tent. Also with the very wet conditions , it did get very muddy and slippery on some of the sloping pitches, some people were finding it difficult to get cars up to some of the steeper slopes.
All round a well-run and clean, tidy site.

My first proper camping experience. My daughter and I arrived on the Wednesday and stayed til Saturday. Weather was good and the staff even better. We were told what area we could camp in and not which pitch which meant we could choose our pitch. The shop was adequate but the pub on site was closed for food due to refurbishment.
The shower blocks (2) were clean - 50p for a shower.
We had a great time and would recommend the site.
Watch out for speed cameras on the way from Porthmadog to the campsite! The sneaky beggars got me on the way to the site on the day we arrived. £60 fine and attendance on a Speed Awareness Course. Be warned!

Visited this site for a long weekend, and as per other reviews the site does slope in places. We found a reasonable flat spot although we did have to prop up camping stove unit and table legs slightly. The electric hook up pitches were flat - although didn't look like there was that much space between tents - I suppose it all depends on how big your tent is. Toilet blocks were o.k. - nice and clean. Nice peaceful site, very friendly people camping whilst we were there - have never been to a site before where everyone says hello! The site has a shop and a small pub - the shop has not got a lot in it but there is a Lidl supermarket and a tesco nearby. The pub was o.k. Went there for a couple of drinks on a few of the nights and watched t.v. On the big screen in the family room - the pub also has an adults only section if you don't have children and don't want to watch tv. We don't have children but there is a small play area for those of you with small children. The beach up the road is brilliant (Black Rock Sands) - you can drive your car on for £2.50 - easier than carrying all your beach stuff with you! and has views of Cricieth castle (to your right) and harlech castle (to your left) All in all a very nice site although shame the camping area slopes in places.
Would visit again.
