About the site
A great spot for those looking for a traditional camping getaway. Marine Beach is within a five minute drive, along with Castell Cricieth and the charming shops, pubs and restaurants of Cricieth. Snowdonia National Park is also only a ten minute drive away where you can explore scenic walking, cycling and driving routes. This small campsite is home to only nine non electric pitches, perfect for those looking to escape the crowds. The grass pitches are located in the main field measuring 3m x 5m each, whilst the almost wild woodland pitches are 3m x 3m, all allowing up to six guests each. For those travelling in their campervan, there is a gravel 3m x 7m pitch which is surrounded by a grassed area for setting up your table and chairs. There is also a bell tent for those who do not wish to hammer in the tent pegs, equipped with a double bed with a mattress, sheet, rugs and fairy lights. The bell tent is set in a private area of the site with a gas BBQ outside and log seating. Or, opt for the glamping cabin set in a private woodland area, sleeping up to two on a double bed with a sofa, dining table and chairs. Outside is an undercover outdoor cooking area with a gas BBQ and fire pit. You will also have a private composting toilet. There is solar-powered lighting and USB charging available. The site has a small selection of fire pits and chimeneas to borrow, great for those wanting to spend evenings unwinding onsite. You can also bring along your own BBQ if you wish. This site is un-lit at night making it ideal for stargazing. Canine companions can join you for your stay, with up to two pups permitted per pitch. There is even an enclosed dog field for them to run around! This site is part of the Greener Camping Club, and at least one person in the party must be a member, but this can be purchased when you book. Membership is valid for the year.
