Surprised Shell Island just north of Portmadog hasn't got a mention (I might have missed it) Our favourite campsite ever. Need to be brave with the off road capabilities (tow out for £20 available), watch out for many drunken Scouse, but be rewarded by loads of space, sand dunes, marvellous beach, woods to adventure in and the only rule of don't camp within 20m of anyone else.
Yes, you are right - plenty south of Portmadog and just north of Barmouth - thank the Lord for satnavs!
They say no caravans, but didn't mind about the bus at all - tbh they mind about very little (in a good way!) and leave you to it. Saw lots of T25 and a very nice splitty- although my daughter said she preferred ours as it has 'character' (aka rust and dents)
Well worth a good drive round before you pick your pitch - we love the sand dunes, but a bit of a treck to the loos.
That's what happens when you put the wife in charge of what we need to take! Back seat is pretty high off floor, so there is leg room for kids. Dog is in there somewhere too Started using the roof rack now - but wife just takes even more stuff!
we went here three years in a row when i was a kid, including getting blown out in the 79 fastnet storm. i have never seen steel tent poles bend so much. must put it in the list for another visit
