Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked A lovely neat site, very accommodating as we were originally going in a motorhome which broke down prior to our holiday. They found us a lovely grass pitch and lent us electric extension lead. They couldn't have helped us enough.

Disliked Nothing, everything was great.

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch

Liked Location, seemed remote but within walking distance of Pennal, which has a good pub and a regular bus service to Aberdyfi, Tywyn, Machynlleth, Fairbourne and Dolgellau. Children had a great time with a slide made from a length of piping and a rope swing

Disliked Needed to queue for toilets and showers at busy times

What customers say

This well-maintained, picturesque campsite offers stunning views and excellent facilities, including clean toilets and showers. Guests praise the friendly, accommodating owners and the peaceful atmosphere. It's ideal for families, with a play area and space to explore, and serves as a great base for local attractions. Some minor points were raised regarding the need for more toilet/shower facilities at peak times and occasional noise.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Loved the freedom to choose our own pitch, the site was spotlessly clean, facilities were very clean modern and had everything you'd need. The owner was very friendly and chatty too. But most of all the campsite is in the most stunningly beautiful area and the view was amazing. We will definitely visit again and stay for longer.

Disliked That we had to leave

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Campsite was super clean, person on reception was friendly. The site is easy to navigate and reasonably quiet in the evenings.

Toilet facilities were great, worth noting if you're on the far end of the site it can be a little bit of a walk, not an issue though.

Would definitely go again.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Picturesque and very well maintained. Facilities are excellent. Plenty of fridges and a freezer. WiFi at pitch was good. Fire pits are allowed. Waste areas well labelled and located conveniently but away from pitches. Lots of hot water at washing up area.

Disliked Nothing to dislike. Suggestion for plugs or washing up bowls at the dishwashing sinks. We were motorcycle camping so didn’t bring a washing up bowl. Couldn’t mix the hot water with cold water and just had to run the dishes under a very hot tap.

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.
