Liked: We had to come later than check in times but they were able to check us in over the phone which made it much easier and stress free. Amazing bathroom/shower facilities, they also had a fridge, microwave and plugs that were accessible. For the price this was an amazing find! Would definitely recommend.

Liked: Location is set looking over to Snowdonia. Camping is adjacent to the Giler Arms which is very popular for the restaurant. The fact they offer a takeaway for breakfast is a bonus
Disliked: No fault of the site due to the recent wet weather but the ground was very soft in places.

Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Excellent pitch. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The pitch was level and all facilities close to hand. The walk around the lake was pretty and there was enough space to walk the dog by the river. The toilets and showers were clean and the water was hot. The pub was dog friendly and welcoming; and the big fire was cosy and warm. The barmaids and proprietor were so friendly and helpful and obliging. They couldn't do enough for us. The beer was tasty and the food was delicious; the menu was great with good vegetarian options. The site is a really good base to explore North Wales. Wifi and electricity is free. Password in the bar. We were lucky with the weather during the day and the sunset was stunning. Wonderful views of Snowdon and surrounding mountains. So peaceful and quiet. Our sleep was good. Thank you for a great stay.

Liked: Good location. Pub was clean and had a games room and a real fire which was great on a cold damp night. Food was ok.
Disliked: Lack of information and signage. Bar staff not very welcoming or helpful. We have had a lot of wet weather but the grass pitches were still in use but we did get stuck. we got out thanks to having some old levelling blocks with us.
