We recently stayed at this site for a week. It was our first visit to Wales with the caravan. On reading some of the reviews we were initially apprehensive. We were greeted by a very friendly warden explaining we were an hour early and so directed us to a local lay by on the main road to wait. On our return we picked a nice spacious pitch in a quiet location. The site was very nicely kept and the site was a good location for touring around. The only criticism was the shower and toilet block was dated and in need of an upgrade but having said that it was very clean and we'll kept. The wardens were very friendly and helpful. We would recommend the slate mines at Festiniog for a visit. We booked the mountain experience which included the deep mine tour it was a thoroughly enjoyable day out. Nearest supermarket was at Portmadog with plenty of shops where you can travel on the steam train. Country side was picturesque and we will definitely return for another break to this site and to go up Snowdon and explore the area.
