What customers say
This is a peaceful, clean, and well-maintained campsite, often praised for its riverside location and proximity to a good pub. Visitors highlight the friendly owners, level pitches, and excellent value. While many report a very positive experience, some mention limited facilities, specifically only one shower per block, and dated bathroom interiors. Despite minor drawbacks, most guests express a desire to return.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Everything here - this was a return visit we enjoyed it so much last time, so much to see and do here if you want it, or just chill around the caravan and enjoy the peace and quiet even partaking in a glass or two of wine in the pub next door which is via a gate at the end of the hard standing pitches.) Good food there too!
Disliked Nothing really but did find the grass pitches a little tight to get our caravan off (twin axle)on the top corner luckily most people had pulled off when we left so had plenty of room to manouvere out but that’s just being picky not a real dislike

Electric grass pitch
Liked This was my first stay at Dolswydd (11/07/25) I initially booked for one night, but after a few minutes and a wander around I booked a second night and recommended it to my mate who arrived the next day.
The site and facilities are absolutely spotless, well kept and maintained, everything is very neat and tidy, other visitors were very friendly and welcoming too.
After about 10.30 pm the site was very quiet with no noise or disturbance of any kind, luckily the weather was excellent and the night sky was spectacular.
The Severn Arms pub is just through the gate at the rear of the site. The food was excellent, the beer cold and prices were very reasonable.
Pen y Bont is a beautiful area with some lovely walks and cycle routes with wonderful views all around.
Booking was easy and communications from Rachel were friendly and a pleasure.
I hope to return very soon.
Cheers!

From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
As there were only two other bookings during your stay, who had self contained bathroom facilities, we would hope that the shower facilities didn't hold you up.
