  • 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.

This cosy, quiet park has cracking views & great value. Showers and facilities are spotless and well-kept. Owners are super friendly and welcoming. Most folks love it, though some report no WiFi and no dishwashing spots. Watch out for dogs wandering about.

Liked Lovely quiet and peaceful site with a gorgeous view. Clean toilets. Super helpful on the phone. Plenty of space a lovely level pitch and grassy area for putting chairs out by the side of the van. A great pub just a short walk away. This was our first ever campervan pitch and it was perfect!

Disliked Nothing!

Powered grass caravan site

Liked A short break over the Easter period. We came for 2 nights but didnt feel ready to leave. The site is a great size and spaced out lovely. The toilets/showers are cleaned every day, bins emptied & toliet rolls topped up etc. Shower was great, although there's a small fee it was absolutely worth it. The owner is very friendly and likes to have a chat and make sure everyone is okay.
The views are amazing, its very peaceful, relaxing and we will definitely be back in future.

From the manager: Thank you very much for your kind review. Positive reviews go a long way in this industry. Take care.

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.
