The views from this site are stunning. Harlech Castle sits on the hill, above. In the distance, you can clearly see Snowdon and the surrounding mountains (provided it's a clear day, of course). You enter the site past all the static caravans, to the touring area. It is very formally laid out so it is clear where your pitch is and the roads are all good quality tarmac. Drainage is a bit of an issue following heavy rain. All the pitches have hardstanding, electicity, water and grey water drainage. I would say the pitches could benefit from being a little bigger, to accommodate awning and car alongside the caravan, instead of the car in front. The toilet block was excellent, always clean. The way it is designed, it never has to be closed for cleaning as it can be sub-divided. All entry is by card, a little inconvenient if you forget to carry the card with you. The pitches were spotless and we noticed that, as soon as a pitch was vacated, the pitch was cleaned and tidied up - weeds removed, grass trimmed and all chippings from the hardstanding removed from the grass. The site is a little remote - quite a distance from any areas of interest. Harlech itself is dreadful (sorry Harlech), very run down and I would say they are not interested in visitors. The shop at the end of the road is very expensive, but it is the only one within 10 miles. The beach is fabulous, about a quarter of a mile from the site, 4 miles long with golden sand. Walking on the beach was a real pleasure, even in high winds, with wonderful views all round. The train station is very near the site but you cannot hear the trains. The whole area is beautiful - wherever you go, the views and the scenery are stunning. We spent a lovely sunny day touring the Llyn peninsula - go all the way to Aberdaron. By contrast, at the top of Snowdon we could hardly see our hands! Luck of the draw. Consider visiting Penrhyn Castle - the interior is amazing and quite unexpected.
