Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked: Beautiful riverside pitches, the walk up the valley through the forest and the abundance of nature is delightful. There was a pizza vendor on site on the weekend that we visited, loved every minute. Well kept site with nice staff. Would recommend 👌
Disliked: You cant walk to any pub or shop, you need a vehicle to visit another town or amenity nearby. So one of you cant have a drink if you go out for a meal anywhere.

Liked: What’s not to like, lovely campsite, well maintained, toilets lovely and clean, 2 minute walk is the white water rapids with little cafe. Nice big field for dogs to go wild. Only downfall is no signal for TV, the owners given information when asked, Saturday a little pop up comes does lovely pizzas fresh, £10 but worth it
Disliked: Nothing, no Tv, take DVDs, WiFi but hit and miss but otherwise excellent weekend

Liked: Our first visit to Tyn Cornel. We only stayed for 1 night, but despite the biblical weather conditions, we couldn't fault it. The owners seem to put a good deal of effort in to ensuring everything runs smoothly. The wood fired pizza was amazing! Definitely recommend this site.
Disliked: Queuing for ages in the pouring rain for pizza! (It was worth it in the end though!!)

Riverside Pod camping pod
Liked: The site was in the perfect location with a walkway directly to the whitewater centre and river access on site. The facilities on site were brilliant and clean, the showers were nice and hot. The coffee machine is a stroke of genius for those that don't fancy putting the stove on and waiting for water to boil. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. The pod we stayed in was spacious, clean and comfortable, we were especially grateful of the sheltered cooking area.
Disliked: It can get very muddy at the bottom of the steps to the pods so bring wellys or boots and watch your step.

Liked: Great facilities, nice quiet site, and very helpful owners. Playing field for the kids. There was wifi but it didn’t reach our pitch at the far end of the site. No real hardship though.
