Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The pitches are great, nice and big. Facilities ie toilets, showers, laundry etc are all very clean. Love the little hut with fridges for tent campers, great idea.
But best of all the quietness and the scenery, the views all around are beautiful.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked What a lovely place this is! Stayed here for a couple of nights with the family and we have really enjoyed it! The owner is very friendly and helpful, and the location is spot on! Surrounding mountains are part of the Mach loop, so we also got to see some of the fighter jets in training from our pitch! Night sky from here was absolutely amazing!

The pitches are great, more than enough room, and our EHU tent pitch had its own gravel parking space which is great, especially for setting up and packing up! The pitch was also pretty much flat which is a bonus! Each pitch had its own picnic bench, we found this a really useful addition!

The facilities area is great, our pitch was close to them and we seen them being cleaned a couple of times each day. Showers are free and also properly warm! Free WIFI also!

We brought our dog with us, and there is a path on the site that leads onto a good loop walk, which can also include a river stop if you want, good for morning or evening walks away from the road.

We would definitely recommend a trip here if your looking for a clean, peaceful and friendly site in a really good location!

Disliked We couldn't think of anything not to like here!

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely site, nice and quiet. Clean facilities. Things for kids to do. Very friendly owners. We would definitely recommend the site and will be staying here again!

Disliked More of a suggestion than a dislike. Upon arrival it would have been useful to have a site map showing the pitch numbers to help find your pitch. During our stay we saw several people struggle with finding their pitches.

Local attractions

Four miles to the east is Machynlleth for the local street market on Wednesdays and getting techy at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT); it's also home to a comedy festival in the spring. Aberystwyth is about a 40-minute drive south for shops, restaurants and nights out. If you’d rather escape the towns, explore the award-winning beaches and harbours (15 minutes' drive) for fishing and strolling. The Aberdyfi estuary’s beaches and sand dunes are some of the best kept in the country, and for those who fancy a round (of golf, that is), the area is also home to an award-winning golf course. For kitesurfers and boarders, beaches at Tywyn, Borth and Fairbourne (the furthest of which is 10 miles away) should offer some exciting sporting opportunities, with some even offering tuition. Back on dry land, the Dyfi Bike Park (10 minutes) is known as one of the best mountain bike locations in all the land. If you prefer more laidback days out, take a trip to Talyllyn’s steam railway (around eight miles away) or travel from Aberystwyth to Devil’s Bridge on the Vale of Rheidol steam railway line.
