Great site
Electric grass pitch
Liked The site is lovely, great location, we come here often. Toilet block is absolutely amazing. Friendly owners.
Great WiFi, park and dog walking field. Probably our favourite site we have visited whilst in Wales.
Disliked Never had any problems before but on our first night, the three 4x4’s camped opposite us left the site quite late on and came back at 11pm, reversing on to their pitches with their main beam lights on and just left them on for ages. The gates should really be locked at a certain time to avoid people like this leaving / arriving on the site so late.

One of the best sites we've used over the years.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Lovely quiet, clean site, no noise after 10pm, although someone might have to have a word with the owls in that area!. The pitches are spacious and the heated toilet/shower block is a thing of wonder. Nice and handy for visiting numerous places in the area. The separate playground for kids and a dog walking area are a great idea. Kiddies will love the petting zoo at the side of the site.
Disliked Not so much a dislike as an idea.... The small shop on site could do with stocking a few more items, milk, bread etc, and a licence to sell alcohol would be a big bonus, just being able to buy a bottle of wine and sit outside the tent in the evening without having to drive to the nearest town would be great. Having said that the shopkeeper/receptionist, Joy, is an absolute sweetie. She and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Lovely folk.

Great site, would highly recommend
Electric grass pitch
Liked I loved the views from this campsite, the pitches are a great size, bathrooms are clean and modern, warm and plenty of cubicles too! It's a great site and I've been 3 times now, it's been brilliant! There is a walk to the pub about 50 minutes away too!
Disliked It is high in the mountains so can be quite wet and quite a few midges!

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Beautiful green location in middle of countryside. Views of mountains, fairly central for coast, inland and northern hikes. Staff and owners friendly. Well kept and tidy. Toilet facilities were awesome the best I have seen, well made to last, easy to clean, bright and spacious.
Disliked The signage for where everything is located could be larger and more obvious. WiFi cut out now and then.

Dros y Bont Decked electric tent pitch (secluded)
Liked Good location, enjoyed pitching the tent on decking as if we had been on the grass pitches it would have been much less enjoyable in the poor weather. Bathrooms were clean and very warm with great showers.
Disliked Reception is only open for an hour in the evening and two in the morning. I would not have liked the grass tent pitches as they were sloped and some were water logged in the rain.

From the manager: Thank you for your comments and feedback we will pass on.
We are happy you enjoyed your time at the park and enjoyed camping on our lovely decking by the river.
We hope you will return when the weather is much brighter.
