Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Toilet, shower and washing up facilicite were great, cleaned daily and not too busy at all - there are a limited number but that was not an issue, even on a weekend in July. The actual tent pitch was perfect, the picnic table and firepit were even more useful than we thought they would be. The site was quite, apart from distant sounds of children playing in the woods and chatter at tents - it was lovely. The town nearby has absolutely stunning views over the bay and of Harlech Castle. There are many wonderful independent shops there too.
Disliked: As other reviews have described, the drive up from the main road is a difficult one the first time up - but we went up and down a couple of times a day, even had to reverse for a tractor of a neighbouring farm, but we managed! Also, although we loved the vibe of the owners leaving us to ourselves, it did feel a little odd that check in was less than a minute long and nobody answered at the farmhouse when we knocked to buy firewood (other visitors managed and we only knocked once to be fair).

Liked: The best holiday so far! The campsite was quiet on that week, what was just I need of..! Lovely area, nice walks around and the view is beautiful! Couldn’t give a go for the canoe, because the weather wasn’t the best. Clean toilet and shower block. The owners are lovely and very helpful! Loads to see in driving distance!
Disliked: The single track road, what takes you to the campsite 🤦♀️

Liked: Stunning surroundings and there was no noise except from the nature around you. Very clean toilet area, genuine hot water in the showers and washing up areas. Good size pitches which are pretty flat. Its great to get a picnic table and fire pit area on the pitch. The owner was lovely, polite and very helpful.
Disliked: I know that midges are part of nature in some areas and yes you can wear insect repellent etc. But if you really hate them, then you will not enjoy the evenings here. They are horrific. Especially if there’s no wind to keep them away.
