 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.

We stayed at this site for the week end with a group of friends and found it more than satisfactory. The toilet blocks and showers were clean and the staff were very friendly. This is a well established site and is set out very well. If I had to make a criticism it would be that the shop is in need of expansion as they don't carry a lot of stock, however there are super markets within a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute drive. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

In terms of price this site is probably about middle of the road. There are cheaper sites in the area but there are dearer ones too. The dearer ones simply cannot beat Tyddyn Llwyn for quality and all round excellence. It's a very picturesque site with extremely well maintained pitches ( not quite super pitches but you do get your own drain and tap ) The showers and toilet blocks are spotlessly clean and kitted out to a very high standard. There's a bar and restaurant on site too. We didn't eat there but we saw one or two dishes leaving the kitchen and they certainly looked nice.
One more thing. This site is on the foothills of a small mountain (825ft ) called Moely Gest. Theres a pretty well trodden path from the end of the camp site leading up to the top of the mountain and it's well worth the trek up to the top as the views looking out over Porthmadog estuary are truly beautiful.
Very highly recomended. We will be going back there.

Tyddyn Llwyn is a lovely, picturesque campsite.
A group of four adults in a 9-man tent, we pitched on top of the hill (in front of you as you enter the camping areas).
We couldn't have asked for a better spot, and the weather was absolutely beautiful. We stayed for four nights, and made full use of the bar, the shop, and the facilities, which - by the way - were always spotless, and clean.
Porthmadog is a nice little town, and the local Tesco was handy, since we cooked barbecues at our tent twice.
In all, Tyddyn Llwyn is a very friendly and lovely place to stay, and I would recommend it to anyone.
