## Overview

This exclusive adults only 5 acre site was created nearly 30 years ago as a private nature reserve and is a haven for wildlife, having been managed with conservation at the forefront. The site is a mixture of meadows and small managed woodland.

This site is perfect for those wanting a quiet, nearly wild camping experience, to truly get back to nature and with very limited light pollution for those amazing big, starry night skies. Ideal for bird watchers and nature lovers.

The site has panoramic views of Snowdonia National Park, Snowdon Mountain, surrounding countryside and the sea. 

All the 9 pitches are private, either cut into the meadows or tucked into the trees. We provide 2 compost toilets and a washing up area. The site operates a no car policy, parking is at the entrance, with wheelbarrows available for camping equipment. 

Within a mile from the beach, less than 10 miles from the historic castle town of Caernarfon and the Llyn Peninsula. Within easy reach of Snowdonia National Park, forest and mountain walks, climbing, cycle path network and beach activities.

> Absolutely gorgeous little campsite! Whichever way you looked there was fantastic views - framed perfectly by the wild meadow we camped in! Every pitch is so private as well, you really feel like you're out in the wild, but with the comfort of amenities like the toilets and running water (the toilets are wonderful - so clean and plenty of loo roll - first time using a composting toilet so didn't know what to expect but it was great!) It's very much a place you can come to switch off from the outside world and just be in the fresh air. Host Jane & Mike were absolutely wonderful and accomodating…
