This is a nice site with good facilities, especially the play area. The pitches do vary in size and shape and many are nowhere near level, so bring levelling blocks just in case! The site is on several levels, some pitches are very shaded whilst others have full sun. I'd recommend a good walk round the site to find a pitch that suits you.  The wardens are very helpful. The site shop sells basics and ice cream.  Porthmadog has Aldi, Lidl, Tesco and is about 6 miles away. I'd recommend the beach at Criccieth - very shallow with sand, shingle, rock pools - and only £2 to park for the whole day!
