Great stop on the road side, quiet night. No one bothered us

I stayed after the guy in the tourist office recommended it. He said there were no parking signs but, winking, said take no notice. However, this was some years back. Sounds like it’s still like that.

Am parked up here at the moment and this is a really lovely spot, with easy access to the castle, the town etc. Such a quiet spot for dinner and, as the whole shoreline here is very flat with a very quiet road running along it, plus there are apparently some good cycle routes along disused rail lines locally.

No overnight parking in the park now. Only roadside/beach side overnight parking . Poor location now due to the narrowness of the road and the amount of traffic

Arrived late so parked on the road, discovered the actual car park in the morning. There are 'no overnight parking' signs on the way in and inside. Right on the shore, view of the castle, a few speedy drivers. Really beautiful area, worth a visit!

Parked up on the road side here 31/08. We arrived quite late, did not see a warden but saw three other vans parked up and left really early the next morning. Lovely quiet location with stunning views of the castle. Only issue was a couple of cars blowing their horns late at night as they passed.

Parked along the road here last night as plenty of No Motorhome signs where the grass parking spaces where. (Wasn’t going to argue the point that ours is a camper van).! Had a lovely meal in the Caernarfon Tandoori Indian Restaurant and made sure got back across the bridge before 23:00hrs. Also had lovely coffee’s this morning at Galari overlooking harbour.

We went to park there around 3pm on Sunday, but it was all full. So we parked in the park with plenty of space and waited for the evening, when cars had left to move down. Lovely stay, quiet and close to castle, the smallest slope on one side but we (Renault master) fitted in fine.

Absolutely fabulous spot with great views, we asked the man in the little house by the bridge leading across to the castle and he said it was fine to park. He is a council employee so we we’re good to go. Beautiful sunset and quick access to pubs across the bridge.

We had a different experience to the reviews left by people who say you can just ask the warden for permission to park for the night. We were told that people do come along and move you on, so it’s better to park on the actual road side by the river. Having said that, we did that and had no problems at all. We had a completely uninterrupted night and nobody came along and asked us to move on. We had a great view of the castle and estuary and also witnessed an amazing sunset and sunrise. But it was mid-May so maybe different during peak season/school breaks.

Great night with views to the castle. very quiet and peaceful. we didn't see the wanders as we arrived late at night. the toilets are closed due to covid. we recommend to use the blocks for the wheels as it has a little slope.

The perfect stop. As previous reviews, checked in with the wardens who said they were happy for us to stay but that they had no authority so far as that was concerned. Minutes from castle seafront etc.

It's exactly as the previous reviewer has said, lovely location and just pop to see the man or his wife in the house around the corner. Short walk over bridge to town. Peaceful night's sleep.

Fantastic place. so the deal is theres a caretaker who lives in the house next to the bowling club. Real friendly guy...you'll do yourself a favour if you knock on and just ask out of courtesy if you are ok to stay. He'll tell you he can't say yes or but but out of courtesy its a nice thing to do. That way he'll even let you refill your water

A fab little find if you are self sufficient. Right by coast, such a peaceful night. Close to the town with lots on offer to support the community. Please respect the area if you do visit... Leave no trace as they say and hopefully we can all enjoy the beauty of this quiet spot.

We come across this spot sept2019 bank holiday great location we stayed one night no problems. The next night we stayed on the road outside as were able to park close to the water with great view of the castle and listen to the live music from the pub.

Nice spot with views of the water and castle. Turned into party central for teenagers after dark, not sure if this is a regular occurrence or just because it was the last day of school for a long time due to coronavirus. They did not come near my vehicle so it didn’t really bother me and the police came and moved them on.

Us and one other van. Great location. Quiet, and as others have said 2 mins from the beach and easy 5 min walk to the castle, over a suspension bridge. Couldn't ask for anywhere better! No one to ask permission to stay, but no signs up and we are respectful, so should be good for the next visitors.

Parked on the road right next to the beach, was lovely to hear the sound of the waves during the night. Peaceful but only a short walk to the lovely town with all its facilities and the Castle. Also 3 big supermarkets within close vicinity to stock up on food and petrol.

Waren am 12/08/19 hier. Schöner Platz, mit toller Aussicht, Spielplatz, Hundewiese, Fußballfeld und Skateranlage. Es gibt Mülleimer und Toiletten. Die Toiletten waren Abends abgeschlossen, aber am Morgen waren Sie offen. Untergrund ist etwas uneben, Keile sind von Vorteil.

Perfect spot. Lane up to park is a bit tight but well worth it.

This is a great spot with great views. We parked down along the edge of the water on the grass verge. A great nights sleep on flat ground with easy 10 min walk to Caernarfon.

Parked here for one night, nice and quiet, pretty cool view of the lit up castle behind trees. There were toilets but they were closed when we got there and didn't bother looking at them in the morning so not sure if they open at all!

Lovely view of the castle if you park up by the skate park. Spoke with the park caretaker, who had no issues with us parking for one night. Bonus if you have kids as the park will keep them occupied for an hour or two at least.

Parked at the end of the road, adjacent to the park and skate park. The children enjoyed playing in the park. We had a view of the Castle. Stayed for two nights and it was perfect. Quiet in the evening and within walking distance to the Castle (5 starts as well). We also used Pete's Laundrette to do some washing, a load, washed, dried and folded 8 pounds. Excellent service. Thank you Caernarfon

If people do park in the correct place, there's a clear view of the castle. go near the shelter and park on the grass. Don't leave crap everywhere and take it with you. I spend so much time at this place. Don't park within the grounds of the park because trees are in the way. The road continues for around 3 miles so plenty of spots to park.

Not really view on castle, trees are in between. Also, please take your trash home and do not put it in the bins next to the toilets! Person who takes care of this place was quite pissed about campers.

Great parking spot and handy for visit to Caernarfon which is short walk over pedestrian bridge. WC did not open in the morning before we left at 11.15am although sign said opens 10am. Park WC closes at around 7pm. There is CCTV so local resident park warden may be under instruction to keep park WC closed in morning until camper vans have gone. There is alternative public WC across bridge facing castle which is 5 minute walk.

Nice little spot. You can also park on the road to be very close to the sea (Castle view), although cars pass occasionally (on a Saturday night). Very close to the town while being secluded.
