 A fantastic site, great location and lovely setting.
We have just returned from 4 nights at Aberafon - we chose the site based on the reviews here so thought it fair to add our own.
We were a group of 6 families, with small children and a couple of dogs, with a mixture of tents and touring caravans. We were allocated pitches 36-41 on the field nearest the beach. The owners were great in choosing an area that was suitable for us. We also had more friends join us for 1 night, and they were given a pitch in the same field very close to us, which was great.
We loved our area because it was closest the the shore, and was really sheltered next to the trees by the river. We thought that the fields on the top of the cliffs might be a bit too exposed in windy weather, although they did get the best views!. Also as our field was smaller, it was more intimate. We enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the stream nearby.
The beach isn't really a beach - it's a rocky shoreline with lots of seaweed. As such, it wasn't suitable for small children. However we were able to launch our Kayaks there, great for evening sunset paddles. We found the water hose next to the stream right near the shore particularly useful for rinsing off our kayaks and gear (and dog!).
The toilet and shower area were very clean, and it was great to have the radio on while showering! - the showers are quite far away from the field we were in, so those with small children actually drove the car to the showers. It would make life easier for the kids to have had closer showers. The washing up area in our field got quite busy, so it would have been good to have more sinks, but you could sit and look at the lovely view while you were waiting anyway!
They have a fixed shower head and the heat is not adjustable - this meant that those with small children found it difficult to shower them as they weren't able to move the shower head around the kids. They also found that the water was too hot for the little ones - so they resorted to bathing the kids in a bucket instead! A 'kid friendly' shower with adjustable temperature and movable head would be a welcome addition.
The site has a kids play area, and a pool room, which we didn't make use of because the weather was so good! There is a large freezer where you can re-freeze your blocks for the cool box, which was very handy. The shop seemed well stocked with all of the essentials like milk, eggs etc.
Morfa Nefyn is around 15 mins drive away, the beach there is fantastic. We saw 3 bottlenose dolphins one day! Parking was a bit of an issue - you had to get there in good time to be lucky enough to get a spot. If you couldn't park near the beach, you would face a very steep walk up the road to the nearest parking spot. There's also a great Spar shop in Nefyn.
Overall we were very impressed with the site. Even though it was very big and busy, it didn't feel like it at all because of our small field. It was quiet, had spectacular views and was a really nice place to be. We would highly recommend it.

We had a lovely week here, this site is amazing.
Its a very friendly site and very peaceful one.
Our stay was made even better by the great weather we had. We took our boat here as it has its own slipway which is free to use. The slipway itself is not the best or easiest slipway and could do with being a bit longer, but that could just be me as I am an inexperienced boater. There was always people around who where wiling to help.
The site had a field for boat storage which was next to the slipway. The on site shop was very handy for your essentials and also we had 3 15 year olds with us who used the room opposite the shop which had a pool table and a tv which was open till 10 at night.
There was a park on the camp but our kids were too old.
The showers were great and very well looked after and always stocked.
There is a pub around a mile away which is a walk along the main road, its worth a walk as it is a lovely friendly pub. All in all, its a brilliant site with amazing views and very very welcoming. One of the best sites I have ever stayed on and are looking forward to next year

What a great site. We had booked an entire field as it was a large group and we were not dissappointed. The owners were especially helpful when we suffered catastrophe after severe gales and driving rain destroyed a couple of tents in finding alternate pitches for the undamaged tents. (The worst gales they had had this year to date). The following day when we were able to take in the site properly I was not dissapointed. Good amenities, stunning views and will definitely be visiting again, just a shame its a distance for me to travel as I would visit more often

Brilliant site - wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Lovely location - we stayed in the field right next to the beach - fantastic views and even though the beach is rocky it was great for the kids and fires at night.
The main toilet facilities are great - the toilets in the field were a lot more rustic but still exceptionally clean.
The owners were very friendly and flexible ( we were able to change our pitch upon arrival and there were no comments about how we pitched our tent or where we parked our car).
Great for families with a lovely play area. A little gem that we wouldn't hesitate to return to.

main toilet block very good. toilets near beach a bit basic, these were the nearest to where we pitched our tent so were the ones we used my wife was not too keen to use them, new toilet seats would not cost much and would be well worth the cost.
We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and got the last available pitch number 25, a bit narrow and just fit our outwell nevada on it.
Shop at reception had basics and opened rarely. Most people left on the Sunday.
We left on the Tuesday by which time it was deserted and fantastic. would go again but mid week to miss the crowds.
Great views,nice area.

A lovely park at the foot of Gyrn Goch, we were a little bit worried about the sight as the drive down is narrow and winding, I e mailed the owners who re assured me that they would assist us if needed.
When we arrived the owner helped us put our van in place, they were around the sight at regular intervals checking toilets etc.
There is a good play area for children & a games room, also reception does stock a few basics. The view out to see is breathtaking we saw fantastic sunsets on the Friday and the Saturday.
On the day of our departure the owner towed our caravan to the top of the drive, we will be visiting again next year.

Our 1st time at this site and found it by chance.
We stayed for 3 nights midweek and the campsite was quiet.
We were put on pitch 34 which was lovely (we pre booked) but after setting up realised you could pretty much camp anywhere that isnt prebooked as long as you let the owners know.
Pitch 34 was on the bottom field right opposite the entrance to the beach area. There is a toilet and washing up facilities on each field but the main toilet and shower block is right back at the entrance.
There is also a freezer which is for ice packs only and a sign to say any other items will be disposed of. This should be made clear before arrival.
Showers are 20p to use
Washer and dryer on site as well, not sure of price as we didn't use.
We had our 3 children with us who are aged 9, 7 & 3 and they all enjoyed the campisite and agreed with us it was the best they have stayed on in ages.
Park for the kids was a big hit as well.
Beach area is all rocky with some large rocks. Kids enjoyed looking in the rock pools when the tied was out.
BBQ's are allowed on your pitch but campfires have to be on the beach. We found plenty of pre made fire pits to use and was a big hit with the kids, especially with toasting marshmallows
Weather can be quite windy but that's to be expected right next to the sea.
We also managed to spot a seal when the tied was out swimming along the shore line
Overall a lovely site which we will be going back to next year for a weeks stay.
On site shop is also just bare essentials like washing up liquid, shower gels etc.

What a great site. Definitely one of the best allround sites we've stayed at with a great combination of rural setting and modern facilities.
I can only echo previous posts regarding the great facilities, friendly owners and atmosphere and cracking location. And campfires on the beach were fantastic to keep the evening chill off whilst enjoying a beer and the sunset (we had a fabulous sunset every night for 5 nights!)
I think it's worth giving special mention to how well organised the owners are in terms of taking bookings.
We checked for availability as we wanted to stay around the Easter and Royal Wedding bank holiday's and thought it would be busy. Received a very efficient response from the owners to confirm they had a pitch available and requesting a deposit via PayPal. Again very efficient as I hate having to send cheques and scratch around for a stamp whenever I'm booking a site.
They even ask when booking if you would prefer a sheltered pitch.
We have already booked again for August and will be taking friends with us this time. Unlike other sites we have stayed at Aberafon actually encourage groups of families to camp together and don't bombard you with a list of silly rules when you arrive. There are some rules of course, but these are common sense and don't get in the way of you enjoying your holiday.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic location for this site, right on the beach. Narrow entrace road could be tricky for caravans but fine for cars.
Main shower block and toilets very good, smaller toilet block OK. Wash up facilities OK but sometime shortage of hot water.
Childrens playground excellent, campfires on the beach definitely the highlight.
Small shop on site selling all of the basics.
Great location for exploring Anglesey, Porthmadog and Snowdonia.
Overall, fantastic site and would recommend and will re-visit.

Great site tucked away in quiet corner of N Wales and would definitely recommend to couples and families alike.
As mentioned in previous reviews the entrance sneaks up on you and could easily be missed so slow down on approach and you should be fine.
The site owners are friendly and helpful
There are supermarkets Tesco / Asda around 8 -9 miles from site and closer local shops (a couple of miles away)
Several toilet blocks / with dish washing facilities (all clean and well maintained but hot water was lacking) but there is only one shower block right with 3 cubicles right at the entrance so in busy periods you might have to wait for a shower. The shower block was very clean and the water was always hot and plentiful.
There is a private beach (not sand) and the owners allow BBQ and Camp fies on it so watching the sun go down in front of camp fire was awesome.
The only real criticism I would make is the pitch allocation. When we arrived the site was fairly empty and the site has pitches with awesome views but as there were just adults in our group we were surprised at being allocated a pitch right next to the play area whilst later groups with children were pitched further away! Having said that even though it was Easter weekend so the site filled up after we arrived noise was not excessive (even from the play area)
