Porthmadog – Black Rock Sands Touring and Camping Park

Black Rock Sands Touring and Camping Park is a lovely spacious site with all the facilities you could need. In the morning we spotted a coffee and breakfast van at the entrance and although we didn’t use it we thought it was great to have the option of not cooking. In the evening a travelling bar was on site serving drinks and again a fantastic resource allowing an more relaxed atmosphere.

As we’re in a pandemic people were sticking to their own groups and so we’re we however, it was nice to be visited by next doors Border Terrier throughout the evenings.

The site is situated between Black Rock Sands beach and jagged cliff with 360 degrees of stunning views. It’s a short stroll from the site across the sand dunes to the beach and what a stunning beach it is! It stretches for miles it seems, with a view of Cricceith Castle in the background.

On day two we had friends join us for a BBQ. They should have been married but their wedding was postponed due to coronavirus so in an attempt to cheer them up we made them some T-Shirts saying ‘Almost Wife’ and ‘Almost Husband’ #weddingpostponed and it seemed to do the trick.

As the sun started to fade we lit a chimanea that we’d hired from the wardens with plenty of logs to keep it burning.

Suddenly at 11pm the site fell silent and we were the only ones left outside. Out of respect for our fellow campers we said a very quiet goodbye and headed of to bed feeling both happy and exhausted.

What a fantastic site in a great location with really helpful friendly wardens. We will definitely be back!
