What customers say
Highly recommended! Praised for spotless grounds, spacious pitches, and helpful staff. Modern, clean restrooms. Great for exploring Snowdonia/Anglesey. Minor road noise noted. Many plan to return.

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Very clean site, friendly atmosphere and very quiet. Absolutely gorgeous views.
More suited to adults rather than families with young children.
Disliked No reception area, wardens on site but struggled to get hold of them on the last day requesting late check out - which could only be committed to on the last day. No amenities close by so had a drive to the nearest shop for essentials. Reception area looked like it was in process of being built so maybe plans to include a shop? No play area but undercover pool table and some games for older children, but not in great state of repair. The most expensive fully serviced site we have been too.

FHU grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Really enjoyed our stay here, very peaceful and spotlessly clean.
Good walk for the dog and were met with friendly Wardens that couldn't do enough for us.
The residents on the site were very friendly too and made us feel really welcome.
Hopefully we'll be going back sometime.
