Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Great set up of showers and compost toilets. The covered kitchen and tables for eating are excellent, and I'm sure much appreciated in the rain. (We had lovely sunny weather). The owner Jamie was so very helpful; he took the time to explain how the campsite functions, where to visit locally and was always available on site if you needed anything.
The location is perfect for "getting away from it all". Great views, wonderful sunsets and the peace of the countryside. Highly recommend!

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Such a wonderful stay. The location is perfect for visiting so many wonderful areas. The campsite is so quiet and relaxing. It has everything you could want from excellent showers to extremely private large pitches. The views are spectacular looking over to the ancient iron age fort. The owner is so so helpful and keeps the campsite immaculate. We have never stayed at a campsite so quiet it was pure peace. We will be returning

Anonymous Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked What a wonderful site. Jamie was such a welcoming host, the site was tranquil and peaceful with lots of space. It has been created to be as natural as possible - planted trees, areas of longer meadow grasses and off grid amenities. But it also has everything you need to make camping as comfy as possible - kitchen and eating area, warm water, plugs to charge your phone, showers, wifi that reaches far across the site etc. It's well located to travel across the Llyn Peninsula too. We had a great stay. Thank you

Non-electric grass tent or motorhome pitch
Liked Everything! A very peaceful site, fantastic views and lots of space. Very well kept, with lots of birds and butterflies.
Jamie and Sylvie are the perfect hosts, with lots of suggestions for walks, beaches, places to eat and information about the community shop and pub, and the nearby Welsh Language Centre. Jamie even helped us with van awning issues!
The kind of site you don't need to worry about before you turn up, and you'll get the wow factor when you do!
Thanks Jamie and Sylvie, see you next time!
Disliked Absolutely nothing to dislike! Loved it!
