Liked: Quiet, cool converted horsebox loos and showers. Lovely little woodland walk. Outside seats covered so you can sit outside when if it's raining. Lovely friendly owner.
Disliked: Satnav takes you past the field, so drive slowly in case you miss it.

My Grandson, my dogs & I loved the woodland walk.
The dogs enjoyed running around off lead chasing each other in the designated enclosed dog field.
As a family who value peace, tranquility & privacy the location was ideal, ideal pitch size.
All the facilities were clean & fresh & we thoroughly appreciate what is on offer here in this hidden gem.
Thank you for an absolutely wonderful stay, we didn't want to leave.
Disliked: There is nothing to dislike here.

Liked: Cae Ddel is a great campsite.
If you want to have a quiet time, enjoy camping and just need the basic facilities it is perfect.
If you need to disconnect from modern life, you'll find the lack of interruptions from the internet an ideal "digital detox". There is no WiFi or mobile internet access here.
The site only opened this year and Frances and her partner have created a little oasis near the village of Rhoslan.
The toilet block and showers are in a well equipped trailer and are kept very clean and tidy.
If you're travelling on foot, there is a bus service between Rhoslan and Criccieth, or you can walk the 4km to the train station.
Each pitch has a wooden hut where four people can comfortably sit, socialise and prepare food.
The nearest shops are in Criccieth, so make sure you bring a few days supply of food and drinks with you.
There is a beautiful woodland walk within the site. There are lots of trees and a couple of ponds that have plenty of birds and wildlife.
I really enjoyed my stay at Cae Ddel and I wish the owners all the best for the future.

Liked: I arrived in creccieth in atrocious weather…….. I was fed up and soaked through to the skin! I phoned Frances for a little help with directions as I was arriving by foot! She couldn’t do enough for me.
The pitch I was given was perfect…….. sheltered and quiet! Toilet and shower facilities were excellent………. Modern spacious and plenty of hot water! Had a well chilled holiday……… thanks!
