  • Peaceful family-run Llŷn Peninsula campsite
  • In a quiet village six miles' drive from Aberdaron beach
  • Modern amenities block on site; pub within 20 minutes' walk
Centrally located on the Llŷn Peninsula is a likely location to be remotely and peacefully set for a Welsh countryside stay, which is what's offer at small and family-run Criw Touring Caravan and Camp Site, in the quiet village of Bryncroes and a short drive from miles of several safe and sandy beaches. Country walks, horse trekking, sailing, fishing, climbing, cycling and more are all easily accessed in the countryside all around, and Snowdonia National Park is within about an hour's drive. If you're more of a seaside sort, Criw is six miles from Aberdaron and 10 from Pwllheli. The site's modern amenities block has separate ladies' and gents areas (each with two toilets and two showers, plus a basin, hand dryer and mirror), and there's also a fresh water supply and a chemical disposal point. Satellite TV and wifi are available, but please note that because of the site's peacefully remote location, the wifi signal is limited and you should bring a receiver for your TV if you want to use it. Criw is about 20 minutes' walk via a quiet country lane from its local village of Sarn, which has a couple of decent pubs (one serving food), a post office/garage and the village shop to sort supplies to bring back for the barbie.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Location. Decent toilets, -(Didn't test the showers at £1 a go with no obvious temperature control)

Disliked: The owners family dog roaming free, pooping on our pitch, being told to "we cant keep it in. Just kick it up the arse" when we brought it up. Site appears only half finished. States WiFi available, I assure you there is no WiFi.

Sharon E. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: It was a really lovely and peaceful site. We had a beautiful view over the valley. It's a short drive to the larger villages with beaches such as Aberdaron and Llanbedrog. There's a small shop in the local village and Spar shops in the larger villages. For supermarkets, it's about a 20 minute drive to Pwllheli. Everywhere was so clean and unexpected partially serviced pitches with a water hookup as well as the EHU. The showers and toilets have been updated with plenty of hot water. A quick tip is don't follow Google maps to get to the site. We had some sharp intake of breaths getting there instead travel from Pwllheli to Llanbedrog and then head towards Aberdaron. Then follow sat nav. The only thing that spoilt our break was Storm Betty but it will be a talking point for our family for many years to come. Thank you to Ron and his family plus the little four legged visitors for a great break.

Electric optional grass touring pitch

Liked: Nice small field, clean toilets and showers. No washing up facilities but we knew this before we arrived. Unfortunately Storm Betty made us de-camp earlier than planned and we only managed one sleepless stormy night. However its in a great spot and hopefully we'll be back when we have better weather.

Disliked: No washing up facilities

Local attractions

The main town on the peninsula, Pwllheli, is about 20 scenic minutes away by car and comes with beaut sandy beaches, a leisure centre, marina, cinema, supermarkets, bus depot and a railway station, as well as an 18-hole golf course and the means to arrange both fishing and boating. Fishing, boating and a golf course of the same size are at neighbouring Abersoch too, also within a short drive. It's a popular place with younger holidaymakers, who come for jetskiing, powerboat racing, wakeboarding and other watersports; the famed Wakestock Festival is held here annually. This is also spectacular hiking land, so ditch the car for a day and have a go at the Llŷn Coastal Path stretch from Pwllheli to Abersoch in one direction and Pwllheli to Criccieth – and then on to Porthmadog – in the other.
