Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The camping field was lovely, even after rain it drained quickly. Showers were lovely! Good location Great access for a dog walk.

Disliked: Only one sink with cold water for washing up. This was so hard as no hot water to wash up after bacon and sausages!

Powered grass tent campsite

Liked: Pretty views, friendly welcome.

Disliked: Electric was from a generator, in the centre of the field....told to pitch up anywhere in the middle and hook up to one of the makeshift points. We went to get fish and chips and cane back to chaos. Tents piled on top of each other...less than a foot apart guide lines crossed everywhere no space to walk between tents. Large groups of families and freinds gathered together (which is lovely) but having a party tent with disco lights, loud music the whole site can hear until 2am in the morning...drunks shouting and cars driving around. Saturday night was worse. Toilets, 3 in the main block, kept clean but still smelly and only one sink for everyone to wash hands brush teeth etc. Showers hot, kept as clean as possible but very damp and nowhere dry to store clothes so everything was soaked. No doors on mens urinals and only 1 mens toilet. Other portaloos scattered around and very smelly. Some toilets at thr bottom that someone got locked in for over 2 hours. At night camp fires everywhere which again is nice, but with so many the smoke was unbearable. None of the rules were enforced, no fire safety measures. Very boggy in places, if a lot of rain then you'd be stuck. Generator switched on and off all day and night, at one point campers were trying to fix it. Also quite noisy. My 8 year old son was scared to sleep because of the shouting and dogs barking all night. We left a night early.

Local attractions

Guests with one foot in the past will find plenty nearby to keep them entertained. Start by poking around the ruins of Cymer Abbey, 10 minutes’ drive away, before diving into ancient Welsh legend beneath the earth in King Arthur’s Labyrinth, chugging along tracks on one of the local heritage narrow gauge railways, and exploring the spectacularly sited Harlech Castle, all within 45 minutes of base. Prefer the wind in your hair? Pick up speed on the ziplines at Zip World Slate Caverns and on the downhill biking trails at Antur Stiniog, both about 40 minutes away, or stick closer to home (10 minutes) to keep eyes peeled for low-flying jets at the famed Mach Loop. Outdoorsy types may want to travel the 20 minutes to Cregennan Lakes instead, where there are lots of trails to traipse along, as well as two lakes for trout fishing. Not your bag? The subtropical Portmeirion Gardens 40 minutes away are an absolute must for budding horticulturalists – be sure to explore this ‘Gwyltt’ (Welsh for wildwood) thoroughly, as there are secret gardens, a derelict castle and even a graveyard to root out.
