Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (small, two person)

Liked: The site was extremely well thought out to encompass the idea of wild camping. Having to hike to the location and no vehicles being allowed on site helped with the concept of low noise and a more natural fee to the site. The owners were very welcoming and on call whenever you needed which made purchasing the wood for a cozy evening fire pit a breeze. We were very fortunate to have very good weather for our two day stay which only enhanced our experience.

Disliked: A bit of oil and a rubber stopper on the gate in to stop in banging and screeching would be Devine 😉.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (small, two person)

Liked: This campsite is exactly what I needed. Wild enough to not take the ‘shine’ of the nature but with facilities. After a 8 hour cycle ride from Wrexham I was greeted by Dave who is a lovely gentleman. The site itself has flat and maintained pitches with extremely clean toilets and drinking water. The fact that it’s not accessible by cars was a bonus for me. A graft of a ride up from Betws-y-coed up the A5 but well worth it.

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (small, two person)

Liked: The location and set up of site and acess to local pub and a plethora of walking routes.Flushing toilets freat bonus

Disliked: Quite a few midges insects...not a major issue but more than i have encountered before on a Welsh campsite..However that is not the campsites fault...so nothing really.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Wales has had a bad year for midges but not as bad as Scotland! We are pleased to announce that we have now bought and operate a midge machine to tackle the pesky problem!

Jay B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (small, two person)

Liked: The Pitch and Hike Campsite provided an exceptional camping experience that beautifully balanced the charm of backpacking with a few welcome comforts. The combination of the natural beauty of the area, abundant wildlife (from tiny voles to majestic red kites), and the warm hospitality of our host made our short stay truly unforgettable. Even the midges couldn't detract from the experience! Our host's advice on approaching the Daear Ddu scramble up Moel Siabod was invaluable, and added some much needed context. It being the view from the tent was an added bonus! I would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat as part of an adventure. Five stars, well-deserved! Also phone reception was great. That's always nice isn't it.
