It's like Marmite - you'll love it or hate it! We hated it!
Min y Don Caravan Club Site
We didn't read the previous reviews but went on the recommendation of someone who loved it, as it had what they needed - a good shower block, good disabled facilities and access, and they went during a quiet period.
We hated it! Caravans were in regimented rows, very close together. On our first weekend we realised we were camped behind the family from hell with no volume controls. Even worse, we realised when they left, and as we breathed a sigh of relief, that they had a seasonal pitch - and next week was half term! Thankfully they didn't come back until the next weekend, and then we were treated to a disco with loud music and flashing lights, and lots of yelling. We rang the office with no reply, and were informed the next day that we should have made the long walk at night to the office as the emergency number is on the door. As we had been in bed, we had referred to the rules book issued on arrival, and it would be helpful if the emergency number was in here. Clearly the rule about noise and unruly behaviour was ignored! However, the staff did speak to the family, but as they were staying, we took the decision to leave a day earlier than planned.
On the plus side, the shower block is excellent, lots of them and very clean, and the site is well maintained. Excellent laundry facilities, not too expensive.
The wifi however, is absolutely abysmal and don't even think about paying extra. It's not secure, even with a code, and it's better to find somewhere else if you need this, like the local pub.
Harlech fish and chip shop was excellent with huge portions.
Places to visit - Llanfair Slate Caverns was excellent, a lot bigger than we'd thought and very interesting. Harlech Beach is lovely but we liked Llandanwrg beach next door, with the beautiful St Tarwgs Church - oldest gravestone we found was 1699!! Borth y Gest and Barmouth are nice, and we had some trips on the Welsh Highland Railway, which was excellent.
To be fair, the staff at this site were very pleasant and did refund our payment for the terrible wifi and 2 nights for the neighbours from hell.
Would we return? NO! We felt it was overpriced and whilst there is a discount for staying off peak and for more than few nights, it's really not our sort of place at all!
