 Just home from a very short (36 hour break) at this site. We only live an hour away in Criccieth and wanted to visit Aberdaron and Ynys Enlli. Original plan was to arrive Friday evening but as the weather on Friday was absolute pants, decided to travel over early Saturday morning.
A clean, basic, friendly site. Limited numbers of toilets and showers, but didn't pose too much of a problem in our short stay. 50p coins for showers. One washing up area - cold water only.
The site is very near the headland so 2 mins walk up the lane and you have stunning views over the bay across to Ynys Enlli. High hedges in our field meant you don't get a view from your acutal tent, but the outlook was pleasant enough.
A good base to explore Pen Llyn, lovely coastal paths. 5 minutes drive then 10 minutes walk down the track to Porth Meudwy where you can book a boat trip over to Ynys Enllis which we did today. An interesting and relaxed day out walking and watching the grey seals.
No phone signal (T Mobile anyway) anywhere in the vicinity. Call box 2 minutes drive away.
Would recommend this site as a no frills, peaceful place. Good value at £10 per night for our pitch.

We (2 Adults 3 Teenagers and a 7 year old) stayed at this lovely site during the mid term school break. There are two small fields, one for Caravans and one for tents for which reservations are required, with a large (sloping) field for non-reservation campers. We booked but not soon enough to reserve an EHU.
The two showers/WC's and 3 WC's were well maintained and cleaned several times daily. The water pressure varied at times, turning a warm shower into a scalding one without warning. The provision of non-slip floor mats would be a welcome addition.
The tents were all well spaced around the perimeter and although the site has a slight slope this was not a problem. All three fields were busy over the bank holiday weekend but not intrusively so. About 50% of campers departed after the weekend.
The prevailing wind seems to veer SW TO NW and this needs to be taken into account when pitching a tent. No children's playground but plenty of space for games. If you want entertainment facilities (which our teenagers did) you will not be looking at sites in this location.
If you want a peaceful site in a beautiful location with stunning views, are attuned to the sounds of the countryside (including the nearby cattle grid which one soon ceases to notice), all at a realistic price, then you cannot go far wrong with this site. The owners are most welcoming and helpful.
Our teenagers were able to charge their phones and we chilled our cool pac's at the farm overnight. We did not visit Aberdaron beach but used the nearby lovely Whistling Sands (National Trust)beach, paying a £4 daily parking / access charge (as we were not trust members)but good value. Abedaron is a 5 min drive with a Spar mini mart, Chippy (both of which close at 8pm) and 2 pubs serving food.
We had one windy / rainy night then had glorious weather the rest of our stay. I would have willingly spent the whole stay sitting outside our tent, with a beer and my book and enjoying the views of sea and distant Snowdonia but then I am no longer a teenager.

This is the second time I have been to this campsite and the owners are the nicest people you could meet.
All of the fellow campers I met while I was there were friendly and helpful.
The site is unobtrusive amongst the glorious scenery and is kept spotlessly clean at all times. (the toilet/shower blocks get cleaned 3-4 times a day with the last clean of the day often taking place at midnight!)
I am not one for walking, but you can't help yourself when you are there!
Everything you need is easy to get to like beaches, shops, pubs etc.
This is a campsite that I will keep going to year after year simply because it ticks all the boxes for location, appearance and atmosphere.

Fantastic site.
Located on a hilltop overlooking Bardsey Island with distant views of the Wicklow Mountains, my phone connected to an Irish Network. The views are breathtaking and the site whilst small is superb. Facilities are clean and the site owner, Mr Jones is a real character.
The area is very quiet so if you like big sites with entertainment etc this probably isn’t for you. Aberdaron village is a 5 minute drive away and has a bakery, basic shop, chip shop, and a few pubs.
The lanes around this remote area are often very narrow so touring caravans beware, it is do-able but with care. Also worth remembering that the wind off the Irish Sea can be strong, so pitch correctly with this in mind and use your guys would be my advice. But it’s worth it!
Overall a superb site

Lovely site in a stunning location. We had wonderful weather which was a bonus. Two large fields with plenty of space and the toilet and shower facilities were fine.
We had small children and felt uncomfortable that the van near us had lots of dogs (however, they were well behaved at all times).
Cost per night was more than advertised on their website due to it being a bank holiday, still cheap at £15 a night with electric though! The owners were really friendly and helpful and the walk up to the top of Uwchmynydd was breathtaking.
You couldn't ask for a better location, well worth the windey roads to get there!

A fantastic trip from start to finish. The directions to the site were bob on and as we arrived just before it got dark it was a good job otherwise I don't think we would of ever found it.
After explaining to Mr Jones that we were a family of snorers he suggested that we slept at the top of the field which turned out to be great as we were also the best sheltered. A very clean and basic site but with everything that the hardened camper needed, toilet and shower. The kids really enjoyed the fact that the big field was good to kick footballs on and fly kites without invading anybody elses space. The view from the site is like a picture postcard and definitely worth another trip back.
The little country lanes take a bit of getting used to but there does not seem to be any road rage like there is here in Manchester!
The only disappointing thing about the trip and it has nothing to do with the site was the fact that the seafood restaurant, a short walk away, was fully booked so we didn't have chance to try it out but will definitely book a table before we go next time.

A fantastic friendly site at the ends of the Earth we really loved it here!
The shower and toilet blocks were being painted whilst we were there, the ladies shower unit has been cladded now and all amenities were spick and span with a decent number of taps spread around the site
The only tent on this wonderful site on the Thursday and Friday night so we got to pick the best of the spots and chose one up the top of the higher field overlooking Bardsey island.
Aberdaron has everything one needs for a few nights. The local store sells wine etc and the Spar sells everything else. Aberdaron also has a number of cafes which are excellent. We had an Aberdaron crab salad which was lovely and then headed back to the site where we spent the rest of the day just pootling around the headland. A little touch of bliss at the Land's End of Wales

Fantastic site
The family visited this wonderful site in August, very mixed weather but we had a great time.
The site is very basic 2 corrugated huts, one with 2 toilets (mixed use) and ladies shower (singular) the other the men's shower (yes just one). Although very basic they were cleaned regularly. There is no children's play park, fun fair rides or club, it is really geared up for "proper campers" who want to enjoy the outdoors.
The site is small just 2 small fields (although the owner sometimes opens another field if it is busy), the main feature of the site is its location, it is right on the headland overlooking Bardsey Island and the views are some of the best in the country. Fantastic walks straight from the campsite along the coastline.
There is a seafood restaurant within walking distance and the village of Aberdarron is within a couple of miles, this has small general store and bakers along with pubs and gift shops, very pretty, it is a pity the beach doesn't't allow dogs( Llanbedrog and Morfa Nefen however both do and are about 15 to 20 minutes away). The main town on the peninsula is Pwhelli and is about a 20 minute drive, and has a large number of shops ( I find it best to deal in driving time as the lanes are quite narrow and winding beyond Llanbedrog). Boat trips are available in a cove about 5 minutes drive down the lane.
We will be visiting this site again, perhaps it will be a little less windy next time ?

Stayed here for three weeks and I have to say it is a fantastic site. Very basic amenities, but regularly cleaned. Mr Jones is a real character and always found time for a friendly chat. Mrs Jones makes the most amazing Bara Brith! They take a mobile canteen up the hill on sunny days that supply refreshments, ice creams and home baked cakes. Try some, You won't be sorry. Very isolated, stunning views, but a truly lovely site.
Sadly the last night of our holiday was blighted by a rowdy group of five families who obviously knew each other.

What a fantastic site! Not for those who want entertaining as it is very isolated. But the views - they are to die for. Showers and toilets spotless, plenty of room for the kids to run around. I really feel I should be keeping this little gem quiet! Outstanding!
