A brilliant place, a quiet and peaceful small campsite. The facilities were very clean everyday and best of all a free hair dryer! There was a washer and dryer, we had a hard standing pitch, which had its own water. There was a shop close by. A warm welcome and plenty of information before our stay. Easy to get to and plenty of local things to see and do near by.
Very peasant peaceful

Things to do on site and in the Gaerwen area
Guests should make sure to pop along to the Menai Suspension Bridge just five minutes away, with an impressive structure over the river between Anglesey and mainland Wales. From here you can also enjoy glorious views put over Bangor and the Menai Strait.
If you're looking to keep the whole family entertained, a trip to GreenWood Family Park (15 minutes) is the perfect choice. Find your way out of the dragon maze, take a ride on the rollercoaster or get wet on the enchanted river ride.
A great way to see the wonderful welsh landscapes in style is via a ride on the Llanberis Lake Railway. The narrow-gauge steam train takes you past lakes and mountains, with plenty of wildlife to spot along the way!
When the weather is warm, a day out at Traeth Benllech beach (20 minutes) is a must. The sandy shore is ideal for a spot of sunbathing, whilst the gentle blue waters are great for swimming.
