A note from the site themselves...

Our sole aim is to provide the kind of campsite that we as a family would be happy to visit, again and again. We appreciate the desire to be in the heart of the action but miles from anywhere, to be able to see the sunrise in the morning and set in the evening, the smell of bacon cooking and the pleasure of sitting around the fire pit with family and friends.

Large Tent - Non-Electric Grass Tent PitchesAug 2025

A lovely quiet campsite with good facilities and excellent access to the Caernarfon, Bangor, Anglesey and the Eryri National Park. The toilet and shower blocks, particularly the wooden ones, were clean and the showers were warm and powerful. There are some beautiful views. The kids' play area was nice but could use a little attention as it's a little tired, although my daughter enjoyed it all the same. The owner was chatty, friendly, and happy to impart knowledge about the local area. We would definitely visit again.
