Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Lovely views with a really nice drive to the site located near a good few towns and 1 hour away from Aberystwyth. Exactly what we were looking for, a remote location with a great night sky view. It has a really nice stream running at the back of the site. Toilet and shower facility in one unit. Very clean site and very friendly owners who helped us out at a very late time with a fire pit issue we had.

Non-electric grass and earth touring pitch
Liked: Very rural and remote. Just a field with a recently built hard track an toilet block.
Disliked: I was traveling alone and using the site as a stop off on long journey. There was noone else on the site., apart from three empty caravans with no-one home. Decided not to stay because even in daylight it felt too isolated for me. There was a new toilet facility that I didn't check out. I'd prepaid £20 which seemed steep for one person .. gt for a larger group

Liked: Location
Disliked: Campsite was nice and peaceful on arrival and as soon as we booked, a car of people returned to their tent where they pumped music from their car. Had that happened before we booked we wouldn't have stayed. We then found out later in the day that our neighbours would smoke weed constantly. Not a fan of portaloos and on multiple occasions these were below standards. Had this been a manned site we felt like these issues wouldn't have happened or could have been managed better. But without any contact details we had no one to report any problems we had to.

Liked: Did like how it was just in a private field and you can chose where you want to go. Lovely view of the stars and nice surroundings. The location is great we ended up on an amazing route through to Hefron Forrest (maybe spelt wrong) even though it was a bank holiday weekend it was super peaceful.
Disliked: I did expect a shower/toilet block but the toilet is a Porto cabin and the shower is built into the back of an old horse trailer. This is a back to basics site and is still very lovely though.

Liked: Great site, easy to find (just follow the postcode), plenty to do in the area, only a ten minute drive to the local town so handy if you’ve forgot to buy wine. Water point across the road wasn’t a problem and nice to have a charging point provided too. Plenty of space for the young one to run around and even had giant Jenga and Connect Four provided.
Disliked: Nowt.
