 This was our second visit to Eisteddfa and it was up to the same high standards as last year. Drew and Karen were very welcoming and friendly and always around to help with any issues. The site was mostly quiet at night although the Friday / Saturday night was a little noisier as new arrivals adjusted to tent life.
I would agree with the locks on the upper toilet block, although Drew and the warden Pete were constantly trying to adjust them, they were too stiff and heavy for our children to use safely. The children's playground does need a little work, although being away from the tents meant that there was no noise coming from there.
Clean dish-washing facilities with VERY hot water! The 20p for a shower was enough too. Terraced flat pitches with electric hook ups were large - they fitted our Outwell Colorado and canopy on easily.
Gorgeous views across the bay to Harlech Castle and a central location for the attractions of the Lleyn - highly recommended.

Just returned from our 3rd visit to Eisteddfa, my favourite site. Weather not that fantastic, but our tent tent thankfully held out.
an all round excellent site, clean facilities, hot water etc.the only downside was we were placed in one of the overspill fields which was a bit further away from the main, this resulted in a trek to the loos and water pipes.
Think the owners would benefit from putting another set of loos nearer top end of site. apart from that which im sure will happen in time, this site is well worth visiting, the views on a clear day are breathtaking.

This site had a fairly healthy mix of caravans and tents, lending itself to a really friendly atmosphere. I was also very surprised at how quiet it got by about 11pm; the only sounds were those ofsnoring! There were no gangs of youths or loud stereos here and I can only guess that this is down to the friendlywardens that live on site and frequently patrol the fields.
The site was well kept and the showers and toilets were always clean. 20p easily provides enough time for one person to shower. There was always soap and paper in the toilets, but take a towel to dryyour hands. The water in the dish-washroom is piping hot and the facilities were more than adequate for our stay on abusy May bank holiday.
It’s just a shamethat my stay here was slightly let down by a silly little gripe- faulty locks on the toilet / shower doors on the unisex upper toilet / shower block. Whilst all the locks worked of a fashion, the indicator on the outside was broken on a few that meant you didn’t know if the cubicle was occupied. Some of the locks were so stiff that the children couldn’t operate them, which meant they had to be accompanied to the toilet. Because there is another campsite in an adjacent field, the doors all have combination locks and you are given the code on arrival. This lead to the situation where people were trying to enter cubicles that were already occupied, or a queue would form outside the block when some of the cubicles were unoccupied but everyone in the queue had assumed the person at the front had already tried the locks. When in the cubicle, you could hear the sound of someone tapping in the combination code in your door and trying to push it open- not comforting if you are stood naked inside! This problem was addressed at night when you could see light coming from under the door!
The children’s play area is not quite as good as the photograph on thewebsite- the slide and one of the swings are now missing, although the other photographs really don’t do this site justice as it is far more picturesque than it appears on the web. If the owners are going to renovate the play area I would highly recommend they position it away from the site entrance- like a previous reviewer I wouldn’t let my young children go on their own as it was too close to the main road.

Just returned from a week at this site with my husband two children aged 7 and 3 and our dog. After reading all the other reviews I was probably a little let down it was indeed a very nice site toilets clean and tidy but the only problem was we were on the second field up so were using the upper toilet block, and there was never any hand towels to dry your hands on and they always seemed dark even during the day. The recreation field was massive but a little to far away from everybody for my liking and I would'nt like to let young children go up there on their own. The childrens park could do with a facelift not much there and again to far from the tent pitches to let the children go on their own also it was very near to the exit of the site and the main road, it also got very muddy. There were plenty of water and waste water points and the pitches were well spaced out and kept very tidy by the wardens. Didnt really see the owners of the site so cannot comment on them but again refering to previous posts people say they were very helpful shown them to there pitch etc but I found that they seemed to only show the caravaners/motorhomes to there pitch and the people with tents/trailer tents etc were just told where to go and given a map of the site.
All this said the site was looked after plenty of pitches and pitches with ehu. The surrounding area was beautiful great views of the sea and the mountains, and in easy reach of criccieth where there were shops pubs etc. Porthmadog was only ten minutes away in the car where you could find all the main shops tescos, somerfield plenty in the town centre. Beautiful beaches all within easy reach and Nefyn is definitely worth a day visit one of the best beaches around.

Just a quick overnight stay to try the site out:
We were originally allocated a fixed pitch (the last one left), and were informed that the site was due to be completely swamped the following day- Bank Holiday Weekend. It turned out that the pitch was taken over by the tents on either side.
We went back to the office and, with different personnel, we were sent to one of two overspill fields (called Caernarfon and Criccieth). Brilliant! The views from these large, quarter- full fields was absolutely magnificent: I set the kids the task of counting the tops of the hills that surrounded the bay and the campsite- they gave up in the end.
Toilet facilities excellent, and well respected by the campers. Happy ambiance amongst the children on the site, not too noisy. Small games room and play area.
Criccieth itself has a nice little beach with sand of medium fineness, a promenade and a downwards looking castle, a grassy area with benches and toilets. Behind this is a small railway with level crossings: more interesting than disturbing.
Just down the road is Porthmadog with chip shop, charity shops etc etc.
Definitely recommended!

I would agree with all the comments below! Very friendly site in a great location, could do with more showers and toilets in the top field as quite a trek! Wold recommend visiting Borth Y Gest if you like secluded little coves with great sands. Would defiantly visit again!

Rry it’s so long, but here goes:- The campsite is roughly laid out in tiers (not exactly, justmy own interpretation), you arrive at reception bear left and follow the drivepast the games room and children’s play area up to the first level. Here youfind the static caravans as well as touring caravans. The lower shower blocks, dish washing facilities,freezer, washing machine and dryer are all contained in this block. Follow the one way system round and you arrive at the nextlevel, here you will find caravans and some tents, pitches with hook-ups arehere (they may be else where, not sure, this is just my findings). There isalso another toilet block comprising of 6 toilets with basins (the two eitherside of the centre staff room also contain showers), these are known as the topblocks. Follow the road on and it takes you up to the upper levels,these are basically fields and are used for tents only. We pitched our tent in the very top field, the ground wasfirm, well drained and had very few under surface rocks. We doubted whether wewould be able to see the sea before we arrived. We weren’t disappointed. Fromthis field you got a terrific view over Cardigan Bayand the mountains, Beautiful! We mainly used the top blocks for loo’s and showers, bewarned it’s a bit of a trudge from the fields. Ideally the site could do withmore toilets higher up, and especially more dish washing facilities, washingpots is an even longer walk as the whole site has to use the sinks located inthe bottom block. A woman next to me moaned that it cost her 80p for a showereach day, what was she doing? 20p was more than enough for me; the water washot and sufficient to allow you to wash the cubicle at the end of your shower.20P is enough and good value for money, there are long queues at peak timeswhen the site gets busy though. As others have said, the place is spotless andcleaned regularly, if there is a problem you can just tell a warden and it’sattended too. The bottom loo’s and showers are a little less privatealthough as they are situated closer to caravans, many with showers, you cannormally get a shower straight away here when the other block has queues. Againa third set of loos and showers with dish washing facilities would make thissite super good. To be honest though that is the only moan you could have,the site is pristine and all the staff is friendly, courteous and very helpful.Whilst there we had very heavy rain, Drew and others attended to a muddy areanear the entrance to the fields quickly by laying straw and slate shingle toensure cars did not have difficulty entering or leaving the fields. The rest ofthe fields stood up to the rain well and remained well drained and firm. The people on the site were brilliant, no nutters or thugs.There were lots of children but they played and had fun around site without anynuisance, marvellous. This site really is a fantastic place to stay; with theaddition of more loo’s in time (hint to Drew and Karen) this site would be oneof the best in Britainalthough I’m sure it’s up near the top as it is. The location is ideal, you’re a 10 minute drive fromCriccieth or Porthmadoc, Porthmadoc has a Tesco for food & Fuel that isopen till 10.00pm. There is also a 24hr Shell station here that’s worth knowingabout, as well as a Lidl and Somerfield’s. I recommend you take a trip to Borth-y-Gest whilst there,drive into the harbour car-park then walk towards the church; there you followa path that will take you to a fantastic beach. On the way you’ll see path’sleading off to the left, taking one of these will lead to secludes coves,absolutely beautiful! We pitched and packed in the rain and didn’t have the bestweather whilst there. Would we go again, YES! The site and the location areFab.

This is our second visit to this site and will return many times in the future. The site is wonderfully spacious, the shower blocks are spotless and cleaned so many times a day we lost count and the hosts, Drew & Karen really enjoy making sure you have everything you need. Thanks to Drew & Karen for another wonderful break away from the hustle & bustle of Birmingham.

We found this a great and friendly site. We visited on August Bank Holiday we friends and their children and found the owners to be very friendly and helpful. We were pitched in a newly cleared area near the wooden section. After our first night we discovered the pitch became very soggy and informed the owners. They apologised and lent us a huge piece of sheeting to put in front of our door access.
The site was quiet and very well maintained. Toilet and wash block was cleaned regularly. There are good sized pitches so you are not too close to each other.
We found this sites prices are great value as you are charged for the pitch not for the number of occupants. Alot of other sites work out expensive if there are a number of you, and they only have the same level of facilities. This is a great site if you are looking for a touring base.
Only thing we found was the games room is in need of better lighting, and the area we were pitched in could do with a gravel drive down it.
Overall we had a great break and our kids made friends.
We highly recommend this campsite and will be revisiting next year

Nice site,well run,staff always on hand to help.Toilets and showers constantly being cleaned.Fantastic views from our pitch and close enough to the beaches and attractions of the area to make days out easy.Drew was very helpful in starting our car on the last day after we flattened the battery by leaving the electric coolbox on all night.
