Super little camp, with a brilliant sandy beach which is accessed from the site via some beautiful dunes and footpath. During bad weather (often in Wales!) there is an indoor swimming pool, which proved ever so popular with our group. Small shop, launderette and washing facilities on site. Toilet and shower blocks are always kept very clean and tidy. One slight negative point is the fact that the Cambrian railway line runs alongside the camp,and the approach of trains are somewhat alarming initially, but after a couple of hours, we were immuned to the noise and did not detract in any way from our enjoyment. Our party did take the train to Pwllheli and had a great time. It is also possible to take the train to Porthmadog and Barmouth, although we didn't take advantage of this service during our stay. There are plenty of open spaces for kids. Generally a very laid-back and pleasant stay was had by all.
