Julie S.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked A fairly small campsite with beautiful views in every direction and less than a mile’s walk from the nearest pub.
The facilities are good and cleaned regularly.
Plenty of walks nearby.

Disliked Needed a long electric cable as the multiple electric source was on the pitch next to ours.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Really well thought out campsite, we've stayed in loads over the years and we'll definitely be back at some point. Layout is spot on, all sectioned off so even when fairly busy there is still privacy.
Dogs loved it. Facilities were excellent, proper private toilets and hot water.

Claudia T.

Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked We loved our Easter holiday. The kids had a fantastic time at the site. They particularly enjoyed the tree swing and the slide.

And we were allowed a camp fire. Which is what is most important when camping according to the kids :)

We booked an electric tent pitch, and we cannot fault the electrics. We used the WiFi only once when our reception failed, and it worked fine.

The amnesties were clean and the site is near lots of lovely family activities. We went to King Arthur’s Labyrinth and we saw the Ospreys – to name a few.

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.
