Fantastic quiet stop with very clean facilities and walks close by.
Electric optional grass tent pitch (maximum 4-berth)
Liked The open space of which we were camped in. Although it was busy it was very quite as there is lots of room for all campers.
Toilets and showers are kept very clean and tidy, with plenty of hot water for showers. Two massive sinks outside the toilet block to wash up your cooking utensils and pans, with washing up liquid available if needed.
Lots of fresh water taps located all over the site.
Finally, great dog walks on the site with short paths to the main Forrest areas.

Liked Clean shower and toilet block
Good washing up station
Clean park as a whole
Great play area for kids
Close to Tywyn
Disliked Kids riding bikes between and behind tents. No signs near the back to say there is a pathway and trail.
First time using the tent and it was ripped by a child riding through the guy lines. Luckily their parents agreed to pay for our tent and when it happened the second time the owner of the site was very apologetic and gave us a refund of a nights stay.

Liked The site was clean, the toilets and showers were always clean.
The walks you could around the site were lovely with a hidden fairy garden.

The kids say that this is their favourite site so far….
Electric optional grass touring pitch
Liked Really good site. Cannot fault it. Warm welcome and introduction on arrival.
The kids loved exploring woods and its walks, walled garden, and fairy glen. We chose the perfect pitch close to the entrance to the woods. The new kids play area entertained my 2 for hours and gave them the opportunity to make new friends.
Facilities are good but it amazes me how fellow campers leave the toilets after use but every morning they were spotless and fresh again. One of the showers in the men’s shower room was poor compared to the other two with low water pressure (the one in the middle) the other two were fine. We will be back before the end of the year!

Electric optional grass tent pitch (maximum 6-berth)
Liked It was our second time camping Ynysymaengwyn Caravan and Camping Park and we plan to go back atleast once a year, Staff are friendly and helpful, The toilets and showers are always clean, The site is lovely, It's the site we always recommend people try, The pitch prices are reasonable and always tidy, Plenty to do on site, My children absolutely love the park and fairy garden, When the weathers rubbish we stay in the tent and decorate stones for the fairy garden, There's lots to explore on site without the pressure of spending a fortune! We love all the bunnies we saw too!
Disliked Nothing, we love the site!

It’s a great affordable, family friendly campsite.
Electric optional grass tent pitch (maximum 4-berth)
Liked Very affordable, Great family campsite, toilets and showers very clean. The playground on site was great too. Location is close to many sites, things to do.
Disliked Was an older couple who kept being really rude to our kids. I think if you’re looking for an adults only or quiet campsite this isn’t for you, especially during holiday time! Also no shop on site, nowhere to buy/ hire fire pits etc.
