 For us this seems a large and professionally run site - but you are very aware that it is a business and it it is of a size where it seems busy. As others have noted, you have to drive everywhere.
If you have a boat or enjoy pottering on the beach (stoney) all well and good. We met several people who said they were moving on to other sites.
We were comfortable, nothing to complain of - we merely did not like the place that's all

Just got back from Aberafon, nice clean site, toilets/showers adequate. The entrance to the site is very tight and we passed it once and had to turn around. As it is only single track with two passing places I would expect people reversing down the hill at busy times. I actually walked to the entrance when we were leaving to ensure no vehicles came down.
As previously said the beach is full of rocks but great for our son who spent hours rock pooling. The pub down the road is very nice but you can't take dogs in and its not in walking distance. We found a very nice working Mens Club in Trefor (next village) which allows dogs in and children until around 9pm.
Its location is near the bus depot and the end of the village, but again you have to drive to it. You can walk along the beach but its quite a long way and very rocky. At the minute they are widening the road so there are temporary traffic lights which is annoying at busy times. Overall we found the site to be very nice which met our needs but nothing was in walking distance and we had to drive everywhere.

FAB FAB FAB Once again our hosts Hugh and Clare ensured we had a fantastic time, we wanted to stay on the top field overlooking the sea but Clare warned us of forecast overnight wind [the weather not Hugh] so we followed her recommendation to stay by the stream, it was sheltered and lovely to here the stream, so peaceful.
The site has great facilities, improved since our last visit there is a shop and pub down the road. Great base for exploring the Snowdon area we still havn't managed to do it all, great relaxed atmosphere even though a few children and a couple of dogs, there was plenty to keep them occupied [playground and goats] also a nice beach, good dog walking areas nearby.
We had to wait a little while to exit the resort as Hugh [the owner] was towing someone up the access road, we have just upgraded from a tent to a caravan we found the access okay it is a little awkward for larger vehicles although Hugh makes it look so easy when he tows them up and down, it's well worth the effort though.
We'll be back.

2007 was the second camping season we stayed at Aberafon and we are looking forward to returning again in 2008. The owners, Clare & Hugh, are very friendly and helpful and keep the site in excellent condition.
We usually camp in one of the top fields, overlooking the beach and near to the children's playground. It's so safe for our two kids (ages 7 & 5) and they love the freedom they have here. Book early though - especially for bank holidays and especially if you want / need electric hook-ups as many pitches don't have electric.
There is a clean toilet block nearby (basic facilities - 3 loos / sinks, 1 chemical disposal, 1 potwash) with the main shower block being further away near the entrance to the site. In my opinion, this is the only slight drawback - the showers are a good walk away and there is often a queue at busy times.
The beach itself has a slipway for launching boats and despite it being a stony / rocky beach, it's perfect for taking a walk along or just sitting and sunbathing when the weather's good. In fact, we spent several lovely weekends on the beach in 2006 (when the weather was good) and when the tide's out, the end of the slipway reveals a good area of sand where you can swim in the sea and not be worried about putting your feet down on something sharp!
Just down the road (towards Caernarfon) is a mini-market at the petrol station and just beyond that, opposite St Bueno's church in Clynnog-fawr is the excellent Y Bueno pub - great food with many Welsh specials. Well worth a visit.
We have had a few wet weather weekends at Aberafon and I do think perhaps the site suffers from inclement weather as it is in the shadow of Yr Eifl ('The Rivals'). We have been here in wet and windy weather and can see beautiful sunshine further round the coastline!
Never mind, the location and the site itself more than compensates and I am sure we will be returning for many more years to come.

We have just returned from a great weekend at this site. Excellent all round, from the warm welcome we got on arrival , to the whole package.
The site was ideal for our trailer tent and for launching our inflatable. Having access to the slip way from the site was a good. The kids enjoyed the beach and rock pools. The other campers and boaters we talked to we friendly and there was a good atmosphere from the regulars. The wash areas and showers were more than adequate , warm water and clean to a good standard. The owners obviously take pride in the site and this was seen in the help and geniuine interest they showed. We will be going back again soon.

What a lovely site! one of the best I have been to. Beautiful sea and mountain views, peaceful site. We spent the May bank hol here and are planning to go back in August.
We were in the field at the top with lovely sea views, we had the little park which my grandchildren loved and were never out of, except when they were feeding the goats which were a big attraction and really friendly.
There are 4 toilets with washbasin in each, washing up sink, water tap and chemical point in this field and the same in the lower field. This was ideal as the main toilet and shower block is up near the house.
Theres a stream which runs down to the beach and a slipway to launch boats, the beach is rocky but still very nice. The lane coming down is steep with sharp bends, a bit scary at first but you soon get used to it, Claire and Hugh the owners will tow your trailer or caravan out if you want, as they did my daughters trailer tent for £2. Theres plenty of space on this site (no crowding) and its very natural and the sunsets are beautiful we can't wait to go back.

The scenery surrounding this campsite is amazing. Close to the beach and in an idyllic setting this campsite on first glance was perfect.
Unfortuantely the beach has very little sand, and if you walk to the left of the site along the beach you have to cross a rather large stream, which resulted in the whole family being wet at one time or another.
You are not able to have a campfire on the site, as stated on the web page. You actually have to go down to the beach for this.
Our area of site we were placed in had a toilet at the top of the hill, and a cold water sink. To gain access to hot water you had to go to the main toilet blocks at the entrance to the site.
When we went the site was windy, one of our tent poles actually snapped under the wind stress and the childrens playground is in quite old.

This is a favourite site of ours. Superbly located right on the pebble beach, you can camp right on the front, and there is quite a bit of room. It can get quite windy on the front though, so peg your tent well down!
Friendly owners, and basic facilities.
The pub down the road is very good. (You can walk along the coast to it)
The food is absolutely superb (a rarity in North Welsh pubs I'm afraid). Apparently they have a french chef. The pub is not dog friendly though

Just arrived back from out very first camping trip! What a great choice of site. The site was excellent - not commercialised at all and in a beautiful location. Clare made us feel very relaxed and welcomed. We had 2 very windy nights but fortunately the tent withstood the gusts - some of the campers on the more exposed parts of the site were relocated to more sheltered spots. Other than that the weather was lovely and quite warm.
Only downside was the shower facilities - only 3 for ladies and 3 gents - it was busy on the site and the queues were long. Would not stop me from visiting again though - the children loved having the freedom to run and play and my husband and I enjoyed the relaxation.

Just come back from aberafon after spending the lovely bank hol weekend there.
Well what can I say apart from we had a fantastic weekend including the lovely weather we had.
The lane going into the campsite is abit scary,but we did it going in then got hugh and claire to tow us back out which was very good for £2.
We pitched next to the childrens play area which was great kids played for hours on there.
Also theres the field with the goats in which is very amusing for the kids mine would feed them every day,it got to a point where the goats would wait for the kids to come and feed them
The beach is only 2mins walk away which is a sun trap if not windy.
We are going back in august to stay for a longer period we enjoyed it that much.
