A charge of £0.50 applies for the use of the shower.- There are no bins onsite: all rubbish will need to be taken home with you.
- The roads to the farm are made up of narrow country lanes, so can be tricky to access for those with bigger vehicles. As a river is on site, children must be supervised at all times. Cold water is free but there is a 20p charge for hot water in the taps.

Just the best!
Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked I've stayed at this campsite for four years in a row now, and it's still my favourite campsite in Wales. The views are astonishing, surrounded by magnificent mountains on every side. Maybe the facilities are a little basic, but if you go away to get away, then this place is heaven, and the owner is lovely and really helpful. When I lost my bank card, she was an absolute life saver. Can't recommend this place highly enough.

Lovely site but facilities need work
Electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked Lovely campsite, friendly staff. Loved having the stream running through and being able to swim in the stream/river was perfect.
Disliked The fridges and freezer were full or dirty. They could do with making sure people label their stuff in there so they know if it needs throwing out or not. Toilets/showers/kitchenette need a good clean & refurb which would make this site 10x better.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (five person)
Liked We had a lovely time. The children loved it. Very friendly owner and the shower block/loos very clean. Washing up facilities were great and freezers available to re-freeze ice blocks for your cool box.
Amazing river running through, which is save to swim in. Lovely walks and not too far to drive to the beach. A good time had by all.
Disliked Some noisy drunk men, but they could be ignored.

Beautiful location and views facilities could do with a scrub
Electric grass tent pitch (five person)
Liked Absolutely beautiful location. Close to the river, which is good for a swoosh, paddle or swim.
Little stream runs through the site and there were children playing in that happily.
Nice flat pitches and broken into sections so you don't feel like you're just in the middle of a massive field of campers. Fridge, freezer, kettle and washing machine available for use.
Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere.
Free WiFi although slow
Disliked Facilities are overdue a revamp. Only 2 male and 2 female toilets and a total of 3 showers (plus disabled facility) for the whole site (obvs not an issue for caravans). No grab handles in the disabled shower. Toilets, showers and kitchen area weren't just old they were very grubby. It didn't appear that the fridges were regularly checked for out of date and abandoned food, having found and removed a large carton of seperated milk from in there. Needs a good scrub.
Upon turning into the site by the farm dogs who came running out and barking aggressively. I think they were possibly startled by the motorbikes as no one else seems to have an issue.

Perfect location but facilities are disgusting.
Electric grass tent pitch (five person)
Liked The campsite is in an absolutely stunning location. Perfect with kids and dogs as the river flows straight past so the kids spent days playing in there. The camp manager is so lovely & friendly - and he is around to change your coins for the correct coins to use the hot water.
Disliked The toilets/shower/kitchen leave a lot to be desired. It was not clean at all even though I had seen the owner cleaning them in the early morning. There are cobwebs, spiders and flies absolutely everywhere. And the lights are on a timer so you can be on the toilet at night and the lights go off. The tiled walls around the showers were absolutely disgusting.
