Mynydd Mawr

My husband and I stayed here over bank holiday weekend. Great site with a lovely little cafe and access to spectacular scenery and a sea view. Toilet block was clean, you don't get many sites where the owners are cleaning at midnight! The owners couldn't have been more helpful. I would reccomend this just be warned the walk back from Aberdaeron is steep but the village is worth a visit.

Drive as far as you can down the Llyn Peninsula and on the left, before the cattle grid is a little peace of Heaven overlooking Bardsey Island.The campsite is the most peaceful I have stayed at with one of the best views.  If you like stargazing step out at night and look up, you'll have never seen as many stars as you will here.

There is a new shower/toilet block which is regularly cleaned and also has a family shower/toilet room. Showers are 50p for 3 mins and you have your own changing cubicle with the shower.

There are washing up facilities which also includes an under-counter Freezer for icepacks etc (no charge).

There is a café on-site that does everything from soft drinks, tea, coffee, bacon butties and the ever faithful full English.

There are electric hook-ups for caravans, campervans & tents.

In summary: Views, Peace, Clean and Tidy, Friendly. I stayed there before and I'll be back again.

This is a great little campsite, at the end of a long narrow road it feels really isolated from the world. Just you and the sheep and the sunset. It’s really an experience to sit and watch the sunset over Bardsey Island with a glass of wine. The views are amazing. The road carries on up the hill to a viewpoint and it’s the perfect place to get on the beautiful coastal path. 

You just arrive and pitch up. The first couple of times I stayed here, the owner came around in the evening to collect his money but they’ve since opened a little café, so now you can pay in there. Really friendly people. You can also pay at the farmhouse.

It’s basic, but has everything you need and want. Clean toilets, showers, sink etc. And it’s quiet, many times I’ve had the place all to myself. I haven’t been in a peak holiday season but I was told that they open an extra field and more toilets.

It can get pretty windy though (more than once the wind has got the better of me and I’ve come home early in fear of losing my tent, so it’s advisable to bring some sturdy tent pegs), but it’s well worth it. I’m really looking forward to another visit.

We have just came back from our very first ever touring caravan stay....and I have to say the easiness and friendliness at this beautiful and spotless campsite made everything just so much more enjoyable (well apart from the weather) I would recommend this site if you like peace tranquility and stunning surroundings coupled with clean friendly and stress free hospitality we will definitely be returning here many times in the future :-) 

Just returned from a fantastically relaxing week staying at Mynydd Mawr.  This campsite is a gem, one of the best I've stayed at in many years of camping.  If you're looking for peace, superb coastal scenery and a great base for walks and bike rides, then I can't recommend this site strongly enough. The owners, Robert and Carol are delightful; they couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful.  Ask Robert about the day trips to Bardsey Island.  We look forward returning to Mynydd Mawr in the future.

We headed for Aberdaron and Mynydd Mawr on Friday after a recommendation from a friend to try camping in this area, the Llyn Penisula. We were so pleased that we did. On arrival we were stunned at the amazing coastal views from our tent pitch on the field opposite the main area with the cafe! The peace and quiet was unbelievable, the stars were great, the cafe and cooked breakfast was lovely and genuinely we just had such a relaxing time here. The facilities, ie, wash up, toilets, showers etc were all fine for our requirements! What we would like to say is the hospitality of Robert was heart warming. This man is genuinely a lovely kind person and to be honest you made our stay with your hospitality! Thank you so much and we shall be back x Michelle and Gary

Just returned from a fabulous week at Mynydd Mawr. Robert and Carol are so welcoming and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The site is very clean, well run and so peaceful. Our two red setters had a wonderful time with so many walks direct from the site. And the views are to die for. Looking forward to returning soon.

Wanted to get away for Easter weekend. Arrived at Mynydd Mawr and first impressions, looks lovely and happy friendly owner showed us to our pitch. Yes the weather all weekend was good the site was very clean and everything you wanted to hand. A must to stay at and take a walk and admire the views !! O and the sunset......... Words can't describe how beautiful it was. Basically if you're wanting to get away from the hassles of everyday life get yourself down here and chill out . Looking forward to another vist.

This place is a real find. You can't help but relax here and the the feeling of calm soaks into you over a few days.  We go in an old VW camper take everything we need to eat, drink and entertain ourselves with, and let the magnificent views and fresh air work their magic. 

If you go when the cafe is open (easter onwards I think) then I recommend the breakfast - really nicely cooked and fairly priced. I seem to remember the pots of tea are pretty big as well! The owners are always friendly - he even sat in his car and waited until 10 at night for us once just to make sure the electric hook up would work for us.

Washing up facilities are ok - simple, clean and plenty of hot water. The showers are ok although they did go a bit hot and cold - the sound of my wife squealing and screaming was worth it though! I haven't  laughed so much in months! I've seen people moaning about the 50p charge but to be honest, it's on long enough to get a decent shower and it also means that people get on with it rather than taking hours.

If you want somewhere to have endless windy walks, truly stunning scenery and a basic but clean and friendly site, then give this a go. This really is a 'get away from it all' place. We can't wait to get back and when the stresses of life kick in again, I'll think of those cliff tops and work out how long it will be.

Not sure we should spread the word about this little gem. We are regular campers and have visited this site many times over the years. This site is all about location. The hedgerow at the rear of the site adjoins the Llyn coastal path and you are pitched within metres of a site of special scientific interest. Walk in one direction and the path takes you towards Anelog Mountain and Whispering Sands beach, walk in the other and you pass through Fishermans cove and on to Aberdaron. Drop down from the campsite to the coastline and you pass the footings of an Abbey and arrive at St Marys Well. Should you choose to follow the concrete road to the top of Mynydd Mawr you will be rewarded with panoramic views of Bardsay Island and Cardigan Bay and if you sit there long enough you may be lucky enough to spot some dolphins. The location is a sea fishermans paradise. The site is the most Westerly on the peninsular yet within a short drive (or half hour walk if
the pub is on the agenda!) of Aberdaron,  which has all of the facilities you may  need to make your holiday complete and a wonderful safe bathing beach. The site itself is very well maintained and clean and the facilities are more than adequate. Sometimes you are just too relaxed to start up the camping stove and prior to our latest visit the owners Robert and Carol had added a very well appointed café and for us as campers, the opportunity for a hot Welsh breakfast and home made cakes and teas had the added bonus of enabling us to meet some of the other campers at the same time.  As always Robert and Carol could not do enough for us. Next season just cannot come soon enough.

This campsite is really one of the best I stay at. There are endless sites across the country offering every amenity but this location offers one of the most stunning environments in the UK and Robert & Carol offer a clean, comfortable, affordable way of participating in the experience. I come here frequently, both in a tent and a campervan. There's hot water, clean showers and toilets, plenty of taps and hook-ups. There's also a little cafe serving breakfast after you've walked the dog up to the coastguard station overlooking Bardsey Island. It's my idea of a proper campsite.

We arrived here during the heat wave at the start of the school summer holidays with our larger tent with electric hook up. While the lads erected the tent, Carol offered me a lovely mug of tea. Unfortunately we had forgotten our cable and Bob was very helpful with advice and the next day we obtained a replacement from the camping & caravan shop rear of the High St in Porthmadog – a very useful store. 

After this mad rush around we settled down to a wonderful relaxing holiday the site offered all we required. Wonderful walking in any direction the views are breath taking and if you luckily fishing for the BBQ.  You will discover this is the most wonderful place in Wales and perhaps the country in our view its outshines Cornwall & Devon. We like those honey pots it will makes sure this area remains quite and unspoiled.

The coastal walk to the village is in easy walk and with every turn you will meet with wonderful views. The beauty and nature along with the history are outstanding. A visit to the church is a must – you are met with peaceful and spiritual environment.

We were here during the unforeseeable, 2-day-long main water burst. Campers were disappointed – we can fully understand that the cafe was closed during these two days. After all what could Bob & Carol have done? However we were informed the neighbouring site provided emergency water & dealt with the WC"s blockages with buckets of water. In hindsight, a lesson may be leant here – better communication.

I read among the reviews about the showers; but come on girls, your mothers are not here to clean up after you! Please wipe the floor clean after use and, to the lady who washes her dog, don't leave inches of excess water on the floor.

It's a great site and with some little touches it makes all the difference. Some soap left in the facilities and the visitors leave the showers how you would like to use them. Bring your own extra toilet roll – you never know how busy it will get.

We would like to say a big thank you to both Bob & Carol for a wonderful stay here and we will shall return. Thank you.

A great little campsite in a fabulous location, with a beautiful view over the sea. Facilities are clean, owner is friendly, and the far end of the Llyn Peninsula offers some of the best coastal walks in Wales. Great for watching wildlife, enjoying the sunset and generally getting away from it all. We will definitely return!

We (that is myself, my wife and our dog) have just returned from a brilliant 16 night stay in our VW camper on a site that has everything you could want  - very friendly and helpful owners - decent toilets, showers and washup - a cafe with great tea and scones - fantastic views and walks, both long and short, a lovely walk on part of the Wesh Coast Path will get you to Aberdaron where all your needs are met (shops, post office, places to eat and of course a couple of decent pubs - and the beach which is dog friendly all year round). 

We were looking straight out of the van across the sea to Bardsey Island, with the incredible sunsets and the general peace and quiet, this location is something else. If you are interested in history, nature, walking, (and dare I say fishing ho!ho!) then we experienced all these during our stay, plus loads more. 

All of this for £12 per night - we'd still be there if it wasn't for other committments - we will definately be back - SOON!!

Prices on the website are from £8 per night (small 1 person tent). The gentleman was quoted £8 per night and £1.50 for hook-up. We did not demand any payment on arrival as we did not see the gentleman until the following morning when he told us that there would be another person joining him and asked how much it would cost. As he has stayed with us last July, we charged £9.50 + £1.50 to cover both persons. The tent was a medium 4 person tent. As for the meters in the shower block this is again 50p same as last year. We have not received any other complaint about the showers and hot water supply.Why return if the facilities were not to up to his satisfaction? Perhaps it's penny pinching on his behalf!
