We stayed here at the end of September (during a mini heat wave) and were very impressed by the cleanliness of the toilet blocks, showers and wash room, the showers were very spacious and the family shower rooms are a great idea.
We had a pitch with a beautiful sea view, although if prefer a quieter pitch I would recommend you ask for a pitch in the field against the mountain as the sea can be quite loud and the front field is also against a main road into Barmouth.
The pitch we stayed on was very flat and had just been reseeded after a busy summer, but due to the high demand for the unusually nice weather we had at the end of September they had to reopen the front pitches, but the site as a whole is very well maintained.
The local pub is a short walk from the site but is lit all the way and you don't have to go by the main road either. The food is nice and not bad on price and even at the end of the season had entertainment on on the Saturday night.
You also have a pass for the sister site opposite the pub where you can use a private beach.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the Wardens very pleasant and nothing is too much trouble.
We will be returning next year and may even stay in one of the pods, (which we were very kindly given a key to have a look in).
Loved this site. This was our first visit to the site and we spent seven nights here. Our pitch was next to all the facilities which were immaculate. Staff here are lovely and very helpful.
Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be coming back here.
The take away at their sister site has a good range of choices and we used this a couple of times, and the prices were very reasonable and the portion sizes were really good.
The Wayside pub and takeaway was also quite reasonable and was within walking distance.
We camped here from 13 - 20th August 2011 and were very impressed with this site.
As previously stated the WC blocks were immaculate - they were closed for thorough cleaning and then another block was opened for campers use - which was also immaculate.
The grounds were well tended and the play area in excellent order.
The play area was closed between 9 pm and 9 am and so noise disruption was non existent.
The views to the sea and across to the llyn Penninsular were lovelly and we saw some beautiful sun sets.
They showed us to our pitch on arrival and were cheerful and helpful throughout our stay.
The sister site beach was nice, clean and we used this a number of times. We also used their take away service which was so convenient.
The Wayside pub next door was basic in decor but the food was very nice and reasonably priced.
I would definitely use this site again and cant wait to return to explore the area further. ce.
We went with another family of five and booked two neighbouring pitches on this 5* site we would actually give it 6*s.
WOW what a lovely site we arrived and went to reception to be met by really helpful friendly staff and was escorted to our pitch which was a really good size and began to erect our tent, it took us longer than expected: one because it was a new tent and two because we kept stopping to admire the view.
the kids were all off playing in the playing field or the playground but we felt safe because there was on site security and cctv system.
The toilet/shower block has a key fob entry system. there was ample facilities and the cleanest we have come across with radio and heating and super fast hand dryers they were truly 5*.
The washing up room also was spotless with amazing views we were feeling spoilt. The site is immaculate and well designed. The sunsets over the bay were a real wow too. We extended our stay another day which wasn't a problem staff really helpful again.
The site has takeaway deliveries ordered to reception from its sister site over the road, which has beach access to a beautiful clean beach where we spent a lovely day with the kids playing in the rock pools.
The town is 5/10 minutes away by car and there is ample shops to buy supplies, we spent a morning crabbing on the harbour, not very successful though, we only caught one between 10 of us but was fun.
All in all an extremely enjoyable holiday was had by all helped by the weather of course. We all said will most definitely will be going back again.
Spent 5 nights with family and friends, pitches where great, some on completely flat ground others on a nice gentle slope (although some where showing signs of use over the summer period).
Small playground for the kiddies.
Toilets excellent, washing facilities excellent, shop had everything we needed.
Staff where extremely helpful.
Near by pub, actually wasn't bad. Food was reasonably price and very nice. (the currys especially)
Can't really fault this site, even on my biggest bug bear that 'Hard tops' get preferential location. Not on this site, us tenters are closer to all the facilities than most of the 'Hard tops'. (that's one giant thumbs up from me)
We were booked in for 4 nights but added another night as this site was AMAZING !
Beautiful, clean, safe, well lit at night. All facilities were very modern, spotless and extremely clean.
This was our 2nd time camping with our 4 children, on arrival there was a mix up with our pitch but this was all soon sorted and the staff went well out of their way to sort it, in the end we got our own small field to ourselves, they even mowed the grass first.
The kids loved it there. Our 10 year old made lots of new friends and we were relaxed knowing he was safe having fun with them and not annoying other campers.
This was our best family holiday for years and we truly didn't want to come home and we will definitely be re booking.
Barmouth is a five minute drive away with tonnes of parking. Grab yourself some fish and chips from the Mermaid fish bar then set up in the gorgeous sand dunes and relax.
First solo camping trip, 2 adults & 1 teenager. Easy to find. The end of the field gave a lovely elevated view over the sea/ beach in Barmouth. Lovely sized pitches which were well marked out. Not too big a site it seemed but was busy without being overcrowded. Reception greeting was great, thorough explanation re the key fob for shower, which after subsequent camp sites with out key fobs for showers, with children running amock in toilet areas, now makes sense. If we needed to access his and hers at the same time we just swiped both and entered accordingly. The shower cubicles were fantastic, superbly clean, spacious with area to put dry clothing, separate sink then shower space behind a screen.
We were personally escorted to our pitch, staff were always friendly & present, checking we were ok or did we need anything as they passed by to mow pitches as they were vacated or empty bins or the paper/cans/glass recycling areas. Hook up, fresh water and waste water drain very handy to set of 4 tents. No noise after 11pm. Even though we were right in front of the wonderful kiddies play area, which seemed quite new.
Shop in reception stocked food & camping essentials, newspapers and a few extras. Used car to beach as teen refused to walk but it was all uphill on the return trip, ate at Davy Jones Locker in Barmouth, lovely food and selection and not over priced. Didn't have chance to try the local cafe or the facilities on the sister site just over the road. But will definitely return. By far the best site to date.
We've just returned from our first visit to Trawsdir and I have to highly recommend it to any families/couples, such a beautiful site with fantastic showers/toilets, kept immaculately clean. We were sited right next to the children's playground which could be quite noisy in the daytime but as soon as 9pm came, they closed and locked the playground and it was lovely and quiet.
The staff and owners are so helpful and go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your stay, just one minor gripe, we tried the takeaway service from Caerddaniel twice and I have to say it wasn't amazing but everything at Trawsdir was.
My wife and I spent 2 nights here and found the site is really 5 star, the shower/toilets are immaculately clean and there are staff constantly keeping the park in tip top condition. The whole staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The view from the park is fantastic and with Barmouth a short bus ride away it makes the park all the more adorable.
There is a beach just across the road which is huge and very clean. There is a pub about 100 yards away which offers good food and drinks at reasonable prices. Will definitely return.
Yesterday we returned from a long bank holiday weekend at Twarsdir Touring, Caravan and Camping Park Barmouth. My first impression both before arriving and upon arrival was not a good one (but please do read on!).
We were contacted 4 weeks before arrival and told we needed to pay the full price up front and it was non refundable. We had not been told this when we booked and was not aware of it until they called, but in retrospect when looking on the website, it is there at the very bottom of an obscure page.
Then when we arrived we were given key fobs for the toilets/showers and the entrance barriers – and told the barriers were not 24 hr access.
Our pitch (T36) initially worried us as it’s next to the entrance road and quite near to the main coast road and we thought it would be noisy, but we were wrong.
The view from our pitch was simply stunning in fact breath taking and although you can hear the road it was in no way intrusive and once the bank holiday had passed was actually very quiet indeed, also because it is on the end, no one was pitched in front of us, so even though it was a good sized pitch anyway, it gave us loads of extra space for 2 cars and an active 2 year old to run amok, we would definitely request this spot again (It is worth noting though that the road is a main one and I wouldn’t let anyone under the age of 14 even attempt to cross it on their own, it can be very fast!).
With regards to the other pitches they all seemed to have a good view although after some heavy rain some got very water logged and sodden (it seemed to be the electric ones, T36 was fine).
The facilities at this site were the best I have ever seen, utterly spotless at any time of day or night. They are finished to a high standard and have wonderful family shower cubicles which were great with a toddler.
Perhaps the fobs do pay off, I don’t know; but I can’t complain about any aspect of the facilities at all, the shower was a great temperature, the toilets were always clean and well stocked, I never once queued for a shower, they were heated blocks and the piped radio two playing 24 hours a day was a lovely touch – utterly brilliant!
The cleaner (who I saw twice all holiday in the very early hours of the morning) was also extremely friendly and very welcoming. All of the facilities shop, shower block, playground, water points etc… are all immaculate and very well placed to the pitches, nothing felt too far away.
The kid’s playground was very good as well and again was one of the better ones we’ve seen. It is safe, very modern, got something for all ages (including smaller children) and has the soft padded flooring.
It did get a little crowded sometimes but we were there on the bank holiday, so we expected it. I didn’t use the shop, in fact I didn’t even go in so I can’t comment on it, but of the rest of the site was anything to go by I imagine it was spotlessly clean and well stocked!
This site is not on the beach and is not even near to the beach (although you do get the beach view); it is set back on the hill on the opposite side of the very busy road. You can access the beach via the sites sister site some half mile walk down the road but it is a busy road and you may not want to walk it with small children.
We drove into the other site when returning from a day out but could not find any parking so didn’t manage to get onto the beach, but from what I could see of it, it looked lovely. The sister site is on one heck of a hill though so be prepared for achy thighs ;0D.
The location was brilliant, plenty to do in the area in mixed weather for 4 days; we could have stayed a few more. We spent a day in Portmadog on the heritage railway (which has a wonderful museum and miniature train and is a great all weather activity for younger children).
We bought some cheap nets and went rock pooling around Shell Island and Llandagnwy, this was great fun. We also visited Harlech castle and the stunning Harlech beach which was wonderfully for kite flying – something we’ve discovered our 2 year old has a gift for (or the wind was just perfect!).
We also had a brilliant day in Barmouth, shopping in the wonderful indie and unique shops, browsing the market, spent some time on the fair ground with the little one, got the boat over to the railway and had fish and chips on the beach front – a brilliant day out loved by all of us.
We can’t fault this area, it is truly beautiful (and I haven’t even mentioned the mountain views!), there is has plenty to do, it’s fairly easy to reach
I would definitely stay here again too (on pitch T36!).
Just returned from Trawsdir. The staff and little shop were good. The toilets and washing facilities were brilliant always clean and tidy.
The only down side is that the same field is used by dogs and children to play, though everyone did seem to 'pick up' after their dog.
Great walk along the beach to Barmouth which is a lovely old fashioned town. We used the Wayside chippy and found that we could easily have shared a portion of fish & chips as there was plenty for two. Not an easy drive along the country roads but well worth it.
We stayed for a week at the end of July. We had a Super Pitch which was lovely and spacious, only down side was that to use the waste you need a VERY long pipe!.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Toilets and showers were superb, love the radio being played!. Site was well maintained and kept spotless (even if they did start early when you are still in bed!). Play area was very nice although it is right next to the main road into the site.
The staff did a 'walk about' every night reminding everyone to keep the noise down which was good, although we did not have any noise issues at all. Food can be ordered for delivery to the site from the sister site Caerdanniel, the food was good, and they did well to cater for our large party, albeit a few minutes late.
Access and exit to the site and facilities is via a small fob, which was a pain to be honest, and proved difficult when our daughter went to the loo (with the fob) and Dad wanted to go out!
Beach access is via the sister site, where you are given a ticket for the car window. The beach is lovely and clean, with lots of peat rock pools to explore.
The Wayside Inn is a short walk from the site and food was good and reasonably priced. Barmouth town is about 10 minute drive, and has a small Co-Operative (which is the only supermarket in the area) near the train station.
Barmouth has a small fun fair which our kids enjoyed, especially the sack slides. We visited Portmerion and Aberyswyth both are a fair drive away, but helped occupy a rainy day.
Very lovely site, but not an area we would revisit.
A fantastic site. Spotless. Friendly. We stayed for 7 days and will be booking again for next year. Staff were very polite and helpful. Quiet policy worked extremely well.
Ordered food from their sister site which was delivered on time and always complete.
Can highly recommend this site for families of all ages. Barmouth town is a lovely lively town and its just 3 miles away. The local pub is just a short walk and is very dog friendly and the meals are wonderful.
This is the best site we have stayed at in the last 5-10 years of camping.
