What customers say
This is a peaceful, well-maintained campsite with spectacular views, ideal for exploring Snowdonia. Guests praise the clean, excellent facilities including hot showers and a well-equipped kitchen. Private pitches with fire pits and picnic benches are a highlight. The adult-only, no-music policy ensures a relaxing atmosphere. Easy check-in and friendly hosts are frequently mentioned. Some minor points include road noise and occasional shower temperature fluctuations, which management is actively addressing.

Hot shower and nice views!…
Squirrel camping pod
Liked Hot shower and nice views!
Disliked Very dated, nothing changed from 3 years ago we came. No insulation which I thought it may have with it being none electric. Windy night, howling through the pod all night, kept us awake until 3 o’clock in the morning. Very soft beds, woke up with sore backs. Very over priced for what you get, been to similar with better facilities and electric for similar price. Unfortunately wouldn’t return again.

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback.
We’re pleased you enjoyed the hot shower and the views, and as you chose to return to us, there must have been something you previously enjoyed.
As you mentioned having stayed in better for less elsewhere, we were a little surprised that you chose to return to us again.
As our pods have only been on site for two years rather than three as mentioned, we don’t feel they require upgrading at this stage. Referring to them as “outdated” after such a short time does seem a rather strong suggestion.
As nothing has changed with the pods themselves, this suggests your recent experience was influenced by the weather. Your stay coincided with one of the worst storms we’ve experienced since opening, which understandably made the wind far more noticeable than usual and we can understand that this has impacted on your stay.
Being in a rural and exposed location, this can occasionally happen, although it is not typical of most stays.
We will take your comments regarding the bed comfort on board
Thank you again for your feedback.

Liked Really clean, quiet pitch. The shepherds hut and hot tub was gorgeous and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The only downside was that we only booked one night. Could easily have stayed longer.

Cwt Cariad shepherd's hut (hot tub)
Liked Everything!
It’s the second time we’ve been. The accommodation is lovely and hot tub was absolutely fantastic. We would’ve come back here anyway, but it’s a great addition.
The instructions for the hot tub are easy to follow if you haven’t used one before and we got great use out of it!
The kitchen is well equipped, so useful! Lovely shower and toilet facilities too.
The accommodation is lovely and private and it’s a lovely peaceful area, were happy that this is made sure of with no music ect.
The weather wasn’t on our side this year, however we were warm and cozy and still used the hot tub (at least once) every day, and it was fascinating to see the dramatic clouds over the mountains!
We also LOVE the local village shop.
Our favourite place, we’re already planning for next year.
