Llys-y-frân Lakeview Campsite

Em va agradar We had the BEST week camping here ❤️ my husband and I spent the week on our own with our dog and at the weekend my sister, wife and nephew joined us.

🏕️The camping side of the site is small so even if all the pitches are booked you don’t feel too crowded. The pitch sizes are really big so plenty of room to move about and relax outside of the tent.

🚿The facilities are top notch, they are similar to swimming pool changing rooms, very clean and roomy.

🛒There is a small shop onsite where you can buy essentials. There is an Aldi about a 20 min drive away.

🍽️ There is a lovely cafe looking over the water where you can get breakfast, lunch, cakes and drinks. Everything we had was very tasty.

🛶 There are plenty of activities to do if this is your thing and all are very good value for money. We did archery, kayaking and climbing and had a blast.

🦅 If you like wildlife, especially birds, this is the place to be. The site has SO many swallows and house martins. We also spotted heron, cormorants and red kites on the lake and so much more.

🙋🏻‍♀️ Every member of staff that we came in contact with was friendly, relaxed and so helpful. They really were excellent, I can’t say enough good words about them. Thank you everyone for making our stay so great ❤️

🐶 The site is very dog friendly, they can go in all areas and buildings. There is a dog agility area and also a dog menu in the cafe

No em va agradar I don’t have any dislikes but a wider selection a food items in the shop would be good as this would mean you wouldn’t need to leave the camp at all during your stay.

My only real dislike is that I had to go home 🙈

Del gerent: Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are missing Henry

Em va agradar The facilities were clean. The manager was friendly and helpful. The bike track and activity centre were right on the doorstep.

No em va agradar The pitches were really small. There is lighting everywhere so unless you have a blackout tent take an eye mask as I probably could have read a book at 2am. The site manager allowed me to cover the light outside my tent with a towel on the second night, which helped a bit. No fire pits or bbqs allowed.

Del gerent: Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you felt our pitches were 'Really Small. They do in fact measure 9x9M which is far larger than the standard 8x5m. We have taken on board your comments with regard to the lights.. BBQ's and Fires are not allowed due to the site being a conservation area (this is made clear when booking).

Em va agradar Everything, in fact the day we left we turned around and came back for another 2 nights.

No em va agradar Nothing, well the weather was a bit pants but that's the UK for you.

Del gerent: Ahhh Thanks for the lovely review.

Em va agradar Site was very well ran and staff very helpful. Clean and well kept pitches and views beautiful

Del gerent: Thank you, we hope to see you again in the future.

Em va agradar We stayed for two nights. Kayaking on the lake was great as was the mountain biking with the off track runs. Facilities were excellent and in particular the toilets, showers and washing up area. The staff on-site were very helpful and friendly - they really went out of their way to make the stay special. The cafe and selection of food was varied with nice tasting chips and great flat white coffee:)

Del gerent: Thank you for your kind words. I can concur the Flat Whites are great. We will pass your comments on to the cafe and activity teams.

Em va agradar Lovely pitch, close to showers and toilets. Quiet and tidy. Staff very pleasant. Lovely views of the reservoir and great walks.

Del gerent: Thank you so much - Great photos

Em va agradar It's a stunning and serene place to stay. The landscaping has been well thought out. The pitches are excellent. The shower facilities are spotless and have constant running water ........ seasoned campers will know that is a rarity. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit 😀

I didn't take picture because they don't do the site justice ........ although a bride and groom arrived in a horse drawn carriage to have photos taken ....... speaks volumes

Del gerent: Thank you so much for you lovely review. We are so pleased your had a great stay. We look forward to see you again

Em va agradar Location and facilities.

No em va agradar Kids playing ball sports on unoccupied pitches.
Sign written commercial vehicles on site.
Vehicles being parked next to caravans and tents, not adhering to the 6m rules.
Items being thrown for dogs to retrieve in the direction of unoccupied pitches.
Children arriving back on site, laden with trout, caught on spinners. (Did they even buy a fishing ticket, as they obviously didn't read the rules ?)
I had a breakfast which was really nice, but surely a pot of tea would constitute two tea bags compared to a cup that would include one? Not everyone likes weak tea!
As someone that abides by rules, that I presume you stipulate for a reason, it doesn't sit well with me.
If there's no catch return, and no one checking who's fishing and whether they have a permit, then who knows what the stock levels are?
I hope you find my reply useful?

Em va agradar The location is fantastic, DCWW have done a great job of turning an important water resource into a tourist destination. The campsite was clean, pitches were generous in size.

No em va agradar Slightly narrow to get a tourer in if you haven’t got a motor mover (or someone to guide you in).

Del gerent: Thank you so much for your kind words.

Em va agradar How is clean Facilities & showers and pitch size good. Amazing views.

No em va agradar Shop shut earlier than advertised on Friday night.

Del gerent: Thank you for your review. We are glad you loved the pitches and views. Our reception and gift shop does close at 5:00pm and depending on how busy we are with arrivals, the warden can't always keep it open until 6pm. We do apologise for this.
