Horseshoe 1A electric optional grass tent pitch (eight person, XL)

Liked: Absolutely loved the stay here. The views are absolutely incredible. The facilities on site are amazing. Toilets/ showers individual giving privacy in one place. The facilities are immaculate and are kept in good condition. Also great wash room for dishes/ clothes. Signal is also great to keep in contact with loved ones while away.

Disliked: Ground is very hard so bring spare pegs and tent hammer. Parking is not next to tent immediately so car air pumps cannot be used.

Camping pod (mountain view)

Liked: Views from campsite were fabulous, easy to find, pitches and pods spaced out on staggered levels, lots of toilet and shower facilities.

Disliked: A few of the toilet doors on our block wouldn't lock or certainly took more effort than should have to get the door closed properly and locked. No WiFi available at pitch like advertised.

Bryn 5 electric optional grass tent pitch (ten person, XXL)

Liked: Lovely flat pitch on a hillside with fabulous views. Great shower/ toilet units.

Disliked: Campers left the toilets a bit untidy with bits of tissue/ dirt so could do with more regular tidying.

Local attractions

The Blue Flag sands at Fairbourne, which can be reached via the estuary path, stretch for more than two miles. There’s safe swimming for families here, plus oodles of rock pools at low tide, and a variety of watersports. Guests can also hop aboard the miniature steam railway here for the short trip to Penrhyn Point, where a dinky passenger ferry runs to the seaside resort of Barmouth. Walkers should be delighted with the range of rambles in reach: perhaps a day clambering up Cadair Idris or exploring the Cregennan Lakes, a bimble to Barmouth featuring a bridge, a bog and a boat, an evening’s meander to the nearby waterfalls at Arthog and Friog, or a wildlife-spotting wander down a former railway line with views of the estuary. Two-wheelers can get going along the Mawddach Trail which runs from the site – where you can cycle for eight miles alongside the edge of the estuary, stopping for a picnic as you go – or the stonking Coed-y-Brenin mountain bike paths. Other nearby tourist attractions include the surreal Italianate village of Portmeirion, underground adventures at King Arthur’s Labyrinth, treetop fun at Go Ape, the Corris Craft Centre, the Talyllyn steam railway and the Centre of Alternative Technology, which has interactive exhibits on renewable energy, organic gardening and the like.
