Nice evening for a barbecue (added by manager 21 may 2019)

Farmstead site just outside the south edge of Snowdonia National Park
Three miles from Machynlleth and 30 mins' drive from Aberdyfi beach
Trees to climb, streams to paddle in and woodlands to explore

If you’re seeking an escape from urban life, Penrhosmawr Holidays, a scenic family-friendly site on a working farmstead three miles from Machynlleth, might be just what you need. Penrhosmawr is a top spot for a return to nature: the site is less than 10 minutes’ drive from the edge of Snowdonia National Park, where you can hike, walk and cycle, have a go at loads of watersports, toss out a line at one of the fishing sites, or try out some more high-octane outdoor activities, like abseiling, canyoning and ziplining. You won’t be lacking in nature back on site either – the farm has plenty of trees for kids to climb, streams to paddle in and acres of paths and woodlands to wander around. You can take it even further and go foraging for your own wood from the land around the farm for barbecues and campfires… Busy days are an inevitably at Penrhosmawr, so make sure you’re well fed for your adventuring: start your day with a breakfast pack from the farm, then stay fuelled with supplies from Machynlleth throughout the day. In the evenings, fire up the barbecue or bag a table at one of the restaurants within five minutes of the site.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: This campsite was nice and peaceful and not too busy. It was easy enough to get into town for a bite to eat and just a 40 minute drive from Aberystwyth. The owners were really friendly and very helpful. We had a little stream next to our pitch which was so relaxing to wake up to!

Disliked: I don't think our neighbours on the first night paid any attention to the 10.30pm-9am quiet hours which was a little annoying but that wasn't the site's fault. Just drunk people being drunk people! There was no soap in the bathrooms either

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Beautiful place with breathtaking views, the campsite is clean and well maintained ( just the showers that could probably do with a bit of updating but still useable) the people that run the campsite are lovely, my car broke down and they couldn't do enough for me to help me everyday that they could!!! The kids loved being able to be run about, make new friends and getting back to nature with campfires, river hunting and playing with kites, rolling down the hills, we've made some lovely memories and will definitely return again!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: We booked for one night about 30 mins before arriving, having hiked all day in the area in the rain. We were welcomed by a very friendly Campsite man (sorry! we were so tired and cold by that time that I forget his name), and we were able to get an almost flat pitch right by the toilet and shower block. The view over the valley is incredible, and the pitch was very affordable.

Disliked: Would have been great if the toilet and shower block was a bit cleaner.

Liked: Location and facilities are good

Disliked: The only one disliked is, I was supposed to give fire pit which is included when booked. But when I was to the pitch I was charged for it which is not good.

Liked: EVERYTHING!! This is our third time here and we all absolutely love it. The views are spectacular, the owners are warm, welcoming and friendly. The facilities are clean and tidy, the showers are warm and washing up facilities the water is warm. The weather wasn’t on our side but we had a great phone signal to link to our personal hotspot and was able to watch movies and relax.

Disliked: Nothing at all

Local attractions

Penrhosmawr Holidays is a haven for walking and cycling enthusiasts: a network of mountain bike tracks runs close by the site in the area around Machynlleth, you can join the 135-mile Glyndŵr’s Way long-distance footpath 20 minutes’ drive from Penrhosmawr, and the base of Cadair Idris mountain is about 45 minutes away. The seaside town of Aberystwyth is 40 minutes from the site – make the trip for the Aberystwyth funicular, the camera obscura, a voyage on the Vale of Rheidol Railway, and the museums. If you’re after hols full of sun, sea and sand, the beaches of Aberdyfi and Ynyslas are both within 30 minutes of Penrhosmawr. Relax on the golden sands of Ynyslas, have a go at sailing, canoeing or rowing at Aberdyfi and, if you time your visit well, settle on a bit of sand to watch the Aberdyfi yachting regattas.
