 We really love this site, it has got everything we could ask for in views and being near the sea. The showers are nothing to shout about, but they are clean and tidy. We feel with a few bob spent this could be a fantastic site.

This is one of the nicest sites, location wise, I have ever been to.
It's fantastic for kids, with superb views, and though the beach is a bit rocky, we spent many a happy hour on it and had a wonderful beach BBQ and campfire one evening. (I think we were the only ones who made sure our fire was 50m from the slipway though - no one else seemed to bother. Slightly annoying when you have dragged a sack-full of logs all that way, only to watch everyone else light their fires practically ON the slipway!)
The site itself was only spoilt by a few things - the shower block, and the toilets on the bottom left-hand field.
As others have said - for a site that size 3 or 4 shower cubicles is pretty poor. Also the floor was absolutely filthy for most of the time, even though it did get mopped out regularly. I think having to pay 20p for a lukewarm shower is a bit of a cheek!
The toilets were often blocked up, and inconsiderate campers made quite a mess of the waste disposal point - it seeped all over the concrete, right over where you had to walk, and by the dishwashing point. I was horrified to see small children in their bare feet walking through this disgusting puddle! Ugh!
Other than those few gripes, it's a beautiful site. If it's true the facilities are to be up-graded, then we will definitely be returning.

Went here for half term with our 2 kids and our dog. Had a great week here - kids loved being so close to the beach. Everyone was friendly. Would go again.
We were camping and found a pleasant change to be amongst the caravans
The showers were hot. Toilets were always close by which is handy with kids!
Shop very limited but had essentials

Visited the week leading up and including Bank Holiday weekend so the site was full.
The views from this site are amazing. The mountains at the back seem to look different all the time and often are wearing rather gorgeous "cloud hats". The beach was obviously great for boats but didn't appeal to us personally for swimming. The stream was wonderful and lulled us to sleep as we were pitched right next to it. There are very exposed pitches with great views and there are also very sheltered pitches near the stream.
Our kids really enjoyed playing in the stream, in the play area (which needs a little maintenance) and in the area of scrub behind the play area where the kids all loved making secret paths and dens. It is a fantastic site for kids. There is also a TV room, handy for wet times on site. They also enjoyed the ducks and the goats.
There was a laundry room with big washer and drier. These worked fine - you need 50ps and 20ps - however with only one of each machine I had to go back a few times to find them free as the site was full. Very helpful display of information leaflets in there.
The bumph on arrival states that you cannot use electric hookup for cooking or heating which is a little unusual. I would be happy to pay a pound more a day for some amps for cooking and heating!
Site shop had a very small stock and was open for a couple of hours a day. The Londis a short drive away in the Caernarfon direction was excellent though.
The loos needed a bit of end of season maintenance as there were only two in the ladies main block with doors that locked and flushes that flushed! They were cleaned daily. It would be nice to have loo roll and soap as it's a bit of a pain with kids otherwise. Ladies showers worked fine with 20ps but my man reported that the men's showers were disappointing in quantity and temperature of water - a shivery experience!
The access road is very narrow and winding and quite steep. We arranged for the owner to tow our trailer back out for £2 which he did very efficiently. If you come here, be very careful on the track. The owners apparently do not own it and therefore cannot maintain it and I went down a pothole when trying to pass another vehicle, landing on the underneath of the engine. We needed some helpful people with a jack and a ramp (Thank you so much!) to help us out and were fortunate not to sustain worse damage to our estate car. You would be fine in a 4 x 4 obviously. Otherwise take care and reverse or check carefully that any apparent passing places are safe.
The area around this site is fantastic - there is just so much to do. Caernarfon Castle and Beaumaris Castle were great and so was the beach near Abersoch. We enjoyed Electric Mountain, Dolbadarn Castle and the Slate museum in Llanberris and there are several other attractions there that we didn't have time to visit, including Snowdon of course. You are also not far from Llandudno and the Great Orme, which was fun. It is certainly a fantastic holiday area. We would love to return and see more.
The site is very beautiful and seems good value, although a little attention is needed here and there to help it reach its true potential - it could be superb.

We have just returned from our first trip there. We were in bottom field next to beach. However what this means is that as soon as tide comes in the boat people appear with 4x4's and boats in tow reving up engines etc and filling the air with noise and diesel fumes !
This is very annoying when you are sat having a cuppa and just relaxing.
The owners should make this field boat people only or at least warn people of whats to come

We had a fantastic time here, the owners Hugh and Clare were fantastic, Clare obviously keeps everything running smoothly and works very hard, its a wonder they don't need a holiday themselves, they try so hard to make sure everyone is well looked after. The views are fab and the beach access ideal for boating, we visited some rich friends who took us out on their yacht, a bit of a back down to earth experience coming back home. Look forward to going back soon, we are off to Florida for the winter though.

Large friendly campsite in a lovely area of Wales. Clean modern facilities where welcome, though there was a fair bit of queueing experienced and the site was not particularly crowded.
The beach is great for the kids with lots of rocks and a small stream for them to explore, small shop on site and a decent pub with food a short drive away.
Getting into and out of the site is a bit hair-raising with a tight turn and hill start onto the main road, we also experienced something of a stalemate on the winding single-lane track leading down to the site, with vehicles going up and down the hill and no-one wanting to reverse, not a task for the faint hearted.
Some nice sheltered areas but we where allocated a space down on the cliffs where a strong wind blew constantly making for an uncomfortable stay, with some tents collapsing, so bear this in mind when booking and check the weather forecast.

My family and I came home from the site on Sunday 16th, we all really enjoyed our stay, every body was really friendly, the atmosphere was brilliant, the sunsets were gorgeous. We couldn't have been in a better location. We were a little disappointed in the beach there wasn't any sand when the tide was in, it was all stones and you get attacked off the flies all the time.
The hill on the way down to the camp was a little scary at first, I was a little nervous as I was driving with the caravan on the back, but it was easy peasy, tho it didn't help when I missed the turning for the site and had to drive 2 miles down the road to find somewhere to turn around.
You really have to go to this site its brilliant for those who love their boats as there is easy access to the sea.
There are a couple of things to make this site a little better. BIGGER and an extra shower block and a big sign on near the wall at the entrance of the site.
LOVELY PLACE.REALLY WORTH A VISIT, but don't forget to take your loo roll as none is provided.

This was our first outing with a trailer tent. We arrived on a roasting July afternoon and found our pitch right on the front with fantastic sea views. Spent the next 2 days trying to erect the damn tent with no instructions. We had a great time watching the most fantastic sunsets and watching the boating set try and get there boats out of the sea. Already planning our next trip. The owners are very friendly and the goats are very greedy.

Fantastic location! Right by a private beach with not too many people on it. Sunsets were beautiful especially with a glass of wine. Spaced out pitches didn't feel hemmed in. Toilets on field very clean. Ladies shower block and toilets need upgrading but I believe this will happen at the end of the season. Children loved the play area and the beach
