 Despite the rain we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Willows. We were made to feel very welcome from the outset. The electrical entry gate is a definite bonus and added peace of mind. The site was litter free and the toilet blocks were kept clean (we never had to queue for a shower!). Clearly, every effort is made to ensure those staying on-site have a good holiday. The owners were approachable without being intrusive and very knowledgable about the local area. You get the impression they have 'done' camping and therefore know what campers need and have made an effort to provide it.
The views of the bay are spectacular. We found there was little need to take the car as there are plenty of walks from the site. We make a point of never returning to the same site, however, Yr Helyg has forced us to re think this policy!

Very well laid out campsite with separate fields for tents and really good sized pitches. The views out over Cardigan Bay are stunning although being on top of a hill it can be quite windy.
There are two shower blocks which are purpose built portacabins with three small showers in each. The showers themselves are excellent but I wasn't impressed with having to pay 20p to use them, although 40p is ample for a good shower. There is a hairdryer point but it is a plug socket only (coin operated) so you need to bring your own dryer.
Apart from that I have no complaints. The owners were very friendly and helpful, there was a fridge and 2 freezers on site, a small summerhouse with a TV in, a small field for dog walking and the camp is accessed by an electronic security barrier.
There is a shop just up the road, A lovely pub in Llanbedrog called the Ship, which has a fantastic atmosphere and serves excellent food, and a really nice sheltered beach about a mile away which also has a small bistro called the Galley. We will definitely go back but maybe in a caravan next time.
Note from owners: Even when busy there are never queues for showers, we have 6 times the number of showers required by the Welsh Tourist board. Yes we charge 20p for hot showers, (most sites around the area charge 50p! ) it helps the environment by people not leaving showers running hot.
You do have to bring your own hair dryer, we state that we only provide hair dryer socket.

This is an excellent site with absolutely superb views. Each pitch has been carefully measured with indicator markings which means you get just the right space. The site is quiet and peaceful and the proprietors clearly make this one of their priorities for their guests. They will go out of their way to ensure that your stay is the best it can be with all sorts of information around the site about the surrounding area and things to do and see as well as making the site as comfortable as possible.
The showers and toilet block were always exceptionally clean and we never queued once! The surrounding area is easily accessible and is fabulous - who needs to go abroad when you have beaches, countryside and views like this! An excellent holiday - thank you Anna and Miles.

The Willows is a beautiful campsite in an idyllic setting, with stunning views of the coastline, great facilities and the friendliest proprietors you could wish for! Anna and Miles were amazing and were so generous with all the help they gave us during our stay. They helped us in every way they could; from lending us their spare tent after we discovered half of ours had been left at home, and then helping us to put it up in the dark, to giving us advice as to where to eat out etc.
It was the wettest weather we'd ever experienced in Abersoch, but despite this, we were greeted every day with smiles and happy faces! We had a beautiful private plot with views straight out to sea, and the electric barrier system at the site entrance was a safety bonus that we noticed many other sites didn't have. For us, the setting was ideal.down a quiet country lane, right in-between Abersoch and Llanbedrog, and only a few minuites drive to either.
There is also a lovely pub, "The Ship Inn" within walking distance from the site, which serves great food. We enjoyed our stay at The Willows so much. We we will definitely be back again soon.

Stayed here of a long weekend in our tent. The campsite was well laid out, with good sized pitches and great views on a clear day. The owners were nice enough and very approachable. The site was nice and quiet, which is what we wanted and generally clean and tidy.
We were, however, disappointed with the facilities, especially toilets. They were not ‘permanent’ buildings as such and felt more like portacabins. The sinks were very small and there was not much space to put toiletries whilst you got washed. Although the toilets and sinks themselves were always clean, the floor was constantly covered in wet grass. To some extent, this couldn’t be helped as the weather was very poor, but I would have expected ‘extra’ cleaning in these conditions. Maybe my husband and I have been spoilt by the other campsites we’ve stayed at in the past. We’re quite new to camping and usually pick 4 or 5 star sites (mostly small ones). This is the second 3* site we’ve stayed at and I suppose we expected more.

Having stayed at the Willows on several occasions during 2006/2007 I thought it was about time I wrote a review. If you want a site that is quiet, clean and ideally situated within easy reach of local amenities etc then The Willows is just the one. Facilities on site toilets,showers and wash room are kept clean and in good order, 20p's are needed for your hot water, which is nothing really, all part of the camping experience. There is plenty of information available on site of things to do whatever the weather. The pitches are well spaced with all tents pitched around the outer edges so your not crammed in like sardines, the same is for tourers.this layout helps towards the atmosphere there. Access to site is via an electric barrier and gates are locked after 11pm. There is a local shop/post office / off licence just literally a 5 min walk around the corner, 5 min drive takes you down lane to the Ship Inn, food here is reasonably priced and nice too! A 5 min drive into Abersoch and you have a selection of shops, bistro's / restaurants, and bars, oh not forgetting the beach, which is lovely.
To sum it up, this site is ideal if you want easy access to surrounding area's, piece and quiet after a hectic day out n about, friendly atmosphere and fantastic views over the penninsular. I wouldnt hesitate going back.in my tourer next time.

Quiet little site with some stunning views, well kept, marked pitches. However the owners attitude was indifferent, presenting my husband with a list of do's & don't's from a reception that was always locked even when 'open'! Facilities were clean but annoyingly with 20p (10p/minute) slots for showers & washing up, not what I expect in this day and age, especially @ £14 per night. The sinks were too small for my husbands shave & the plug didn't fit.
The surrounding area is very beautiful, we had excellent weather.
Local eateries are very good especially 'The Ship' in Llanbedrog, very good pub food @ reasonable prices. A local recommended the Gallery, also in Llanbedrog. Excellent lunches eaten outside overlooking the bay and, of course, the gallery to peruse. Aberdaron is also worth a visit.
The site owner has responded as follows
1. The do's and don'ts referred to are given to everyone - they are the site conditions.
2. The office door is locked even when 'open'
The facts are:
a) the office itself never actually closes, we are on hand 24 hrs. The office is manned during stated 'open times'
b) when actual door is locked, it is to safeguard our 11 month old baby. Any one can access us at any time.

I had an absolutely fabulous time at this clean and very well equipped site.
The owners were very friendly and hospitable and provided excellent guidance on all local areas.
The toilets and showers were very clean and there were plenty of facilities available. The site was kept well mowed and was a wonderful quiet place to spend the evenings. If you wanted to go out there are two very good pubs serving excellent food within a mile of the site.
The local area is delightful, fantastic views, which helps in planning the days activities. You can see the fantastic beaches that surround the site.
Great walks.
I would definitely recommend this site to anyone who wants a lovely clean site with great facilities and friendly owners.

We stayed at the Willows in our tent on about 7 weekends during 2006, and are returning for a number of weekends in 2007.
The campsite is a nice contrast to some of the others in the area, as it has a feeling of much more open space and therefore privacy. There are lots of sites where you feel like the owners just pack campers in until you're practically on top of each other, but there is a limited number of pitches at the Willows so you don't get that problem. In fact, the pitches are just around the outside of the fields so even when it's full, there is still plenty of space.
Facilities are always spotlessly clean and availability is fine for the number of campers.
One of the other great features of this site is that the grounds are really well looked after and landscaped, so you are always on freshly mown plots with no uncomfortable lumps and bumps!
Miles and Anna the owners are extremely helpful to newcomers and regulars alike, and now they are helped by baby Megan! They come out around the site several times a day so it's nice to be able to be confident that there is someone there if something went wrong.
The site now has a card operated barrier so is very secure. It also tends to be quite quiet being mainly couples and families, so being kept awake at night is not a problem.
It's just a 10 minute drive to Abersoch and the local beaches and it's possible to walk to the local pub in Llanbedrog, The Ship.
All in all, we will keep going back to the Willows and I have recommended it to friends and would do so again.
