Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Before I left my home town of Birmingham and moved to Wales full time, Shell Island was a regular spot for me. I would often camp there early or late season when it was 'quieter' and commute to Snowdonia for some hill walking. An old friend of mine now owns the Ty Mawr Hotel in Llanbedr, but sad to say I've not been up there in many years now
Nearly ent earlier this year, i've got a large group of friends that go there every year, i'm glad i didn't, most of them got a pounding from the weather and the news said that there's was £150,000 of tent damage on Shell Island that weekend.
It's very busy, very very and it's not cheap. But it's a great spot.

Tony is right, it is busy, thats why I would go early or late season. Its' a wonderful part of Wales, so much near to hand and the coastline is stunning

How to change the direction of a thread in one easy post 
Well been there quite a bit too. I would not recommend it in the main months and if you do book you will probably find they are full.
Personally I would prefer a quieter camp site even if I had to do away with the chance of a fire!
Dunes are fun though.

I know i should not laugh but we was there that weekend. I even did a blog about it when I got back. We camped on the edge of the cliff and my tent stood the test of the gales. All that broke was one guy line snapped and to make it even better my tent was one of the old fashioned huge frame tents
.I will go and have a look for the thread. we even had sun for a while. when we moved off the edge of the cliff.

whoops, sorry about the thread guys. i agree, it is a brilliant spot, especially for seafood. ive had 3 descent sized lobsters from a pot i made before. threw two back and ate one.
i have to say it is really busy though, and most sites are in the open.
