Brilliant Site, Shame About The Weather

My wife and I stayed here for a long weekend, Friday 19th to Tuesday 23rd August 2016. We know Harlech very well as my parents live there. We had planned for a big family get together with days out on the beach and BBQ's with the grand-kids. Sadly our stay coincided with very stormy weather. The Min-Y-Don site however is incredible. The staff at reception were friendly and helpful. Being old hands at trailer tenting in France we are complete newcomers to caravanning. This site is well on par with some of the more luxurious French glamping sites. It's well laid out and the touring pitches are fully serviced with individual power hook-ups, tap and grey water drainage. The pitches are hardstanding with grassed surround. Awnings must not be pitched on the grass though and vehicle parked on the grass. We were on pitch 19 which is next to the main roadway and as such was very exposed to the torrential rain and wind which was gusting at over 55mph on Friday and Saturday. As a result we had to take our awning down as the wind was dragging our rock pegs out despite double pegging! Most people who were in the lee of the facility block or hedges fared better though. The facility block itself was a revelation for us. It's very big with huge shower cubicles, powerful hot showers and there's underfloor heating. None of the draughty brick outhouses with weedy showers we'd come to expect from British camp-sites before we'd stayed on before exploring France. It was spotlessly clean too (but I do wish everyone would learn how to use the provided toilet brush before leaving the toilet cubicle though. According to my wife the problem was even worse in the ladies YUK!) The toilet cubicles are also very big and some had washing facilities inside if you don't want to share the communal washing area. We didn't use the laundry or washing up facilities but they appeared very well equipped. The chemical disposal point was almost clinical with stainless steel drainage unit, powerful spray for rinsing out and hand washing facilities. Access to the entire facility block is controlled by the single access card you receive on arrival. Just remember not to leave this in your pocket when you decide to go for an unannounced walk to the nearby mini supermarket when the other half was planning to go for a shower. My only disappointment was on my morning of departure. After suffering four days of monsoon conditions the sun finally made an appearance on our last day. We thought it would be nice to stay and spend a few extra hours with the kids on the beach. Sadly though despite there being numerous empty pitches all around us nothing could be found to accommodate us, so we had to leave. Altogether though, a wonderful site with luxurious facilities in a beautiful area. We will definitely return.
