This is a well-maintained campsite with stunning valley and estuary views. Visitors consistently praise the clean and modern facilities, including showers and toilets, and many appreciate the availability of fridges and freezers. Pitches are generally spacious and well-equipped with picnic benches. The friendly and accommodating owners receive frequent positive mentions. While some note occasional issues with Wi-Fi and the approach road, the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful location make it a highly recommended destination.

Liked We stayed two nights here mid October with our two dogs and were very lucky with the weather. Friendly reception when we arrived. Lovely setting, quiet and amazing dark skies.
It is a good central point to visit different places around the vicinity.
Loved that every pitch has a table and water tap.

Liked This is one of the most beautiful sites I have stayed on, the views were stunning and loved enjoying my morning coffee looking out. The site is very clean and well maintained with nice size pitches. The location was perfect with a lovely walk through the woods to the village pub. I can't wait to come back!

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.
