Liked: Okay well hands down best wild camping place I’ve ever stayed! My 18yr old daughter said she’d never want to go anywhere else, even though they didn’t really have much phone signal!! Perfect setting, owners and facilities! Definitely going back!

Liked: Me and my brother came to Cefn Coed this September 22nd-25th for a little biking break. I can honestly say it is the most beautiful campsite I’ve ever been to. The views and location were stunning. The owners Adrian and Natalie were so welcoming and they couldn’t have been more helpful. Adrian was just a book of knowledge of the surrounding areas and Natalie showed us some really nice walks. Their brilliant hospitality was effortless. We stayed in the estuary which was a stones throw from a beautiful crystal clear shallow river going into the estuary. There are so many good biking trails and all of the camping plots are very secluded from each other. The camp site has great shower and wash up facilities and the toilets are well looked after. There is also a shop onsite that sells a good amount of essentials. We even went to the shop one evening and it was closed so we just phoned the office and within a couple mins Adrian came over to open so we could get what we needed. There is fresh mountain water on tap to drink and it’s so refreshing. I can’t wait to come back next year for another long weekend here. I can honestly say that this is the place to go whether it’s an adventure fueled holiday you are after or just a relaxing one. They even have Wi-Fi at the reception area which was nice. There is also an option to have food cooked for you on site they do Thai food we didn’t have it this time round but we will definitely be eating there next time. We heard the pad Thai is amazing btw :) The town of Dolgellau is a 15 min bike ride away and is a really nice picturesque town. Thanks Cefn Coed. Till next time Matt and Harry

Wooded non-electric earth campervan pitch
Liked: Great campsite for being in the woods and surrounded by nature, similar to wild camping but with the luxury of toilets and showers. Facilities really nice.
Disliked: You don't get any phone signal but this is also quiet nice to have some quiet from technology.

Liked: Lovely quiet site. Pitches in the woods are well spread out and reasonably private. Site owners are friendly and helpful. They also cook a Thai menu you can order from. Facilities were all clean. As a solo traveller this site was perfect.

Liked: This site has some beautiful pitches in the oak woodland which open out onto the river estuary. As close as you can get to wild camping with the convenience of campsite amenities.
Disliked: Would be nice if fire pits were included in the price or dropped off at the pitch if they’re pre booked.
