Líbí se No frills, but it was exactly what we wanted. Beautiful site, quiet and peaceful. Toilets were basic, but well kept and clean. Easy access for us to visit family. We would definitely consider using again.

Nelíbí se Road to get there was a little tight in a van, but nothing that can be done about that! It meant we were out of the way of too much traffic, so not to bad!

Od správce: Dear Nicola
Sorry to see your very negative account of a visit to Cwmsoar. I dont recall meeting you at checkin, I might have been able to offer support.

I note the booking was for 15th August, the weekend of receiveing; The National Emergency Alert 🔥 from government, for extreme risk of fires due to the hot weather.

There are several mountain fires burning within 10-15 miles of Cwmsoar. We have experienced minimal issues with smoke on site, this can be changeable with wind direction and the development of new fires.

We are closely monitoring local warnings, the site for smoke and the safety of our clients.

There is a temporary ban on site, in line with goverment guidance.
No open fires
No BBQ,s
No open ignition activities.
We encourage visitors to act responsibly during this hot dry spell, and to discard any cigarettes or similar safely.

Líbí se The owners are a stones throw away & super friendly, they even offered us air beds (which we massively regret turning down)
We thought that our roll mats & duvets would provide enough comfort for our broken & aging bodies 😅 how naive!!!

After assembling the tent together we made friends with the adorable farm dogs, got ourselves comfy and watched the sky turn to night. There were no bbqs or fires allowed due to the severe dry weather and wildfires we have been experiencing locally but we were permitted to use our gas stove off the ground fully supervised to make cuppas and food.

We had a little go at tarot in the dark, enjoyed watching a pair of bats dance above us for a while and of course we star gazed into the early hours of the morning - we saw some truly astonishing things in the sky! Unexplainable things!

At some point around 5am there were clearly wild animals most likely hedgehogs and possibly badgers or foxes moving around in the hedges and sniffing around the tent.
Sleep was very poor but the memories created were worth it.
Waking to the sunshine, the breeze, the birds singing, sitting on the grass making a cuppa was food for the soul.

On site has 2 portaloos (quite smelly ... take air freshener and just be grateful its not a bush)
Drinking water tap! This was a blessing.
Fire extinguisher and buckets incase of emergency.
There are apple trees, not for eating but there is something wholesome about being around trees and hedges growing food.


We would 100% return
What will we do next time? Air beds! Poss a bigger tent, air freshener, bug spray we didn't get bitten but we attracted a lot of bugs from the light.
Signal is poor but I still managed to get some.

Happy camping! ✨️🏕🦇☕️

Nelíbí se The toilet smell. But, it is a very hot summer and we were grateful for loos

We never really braved venturing out of the campsite to explore as we weren't sure how to find the woodland without using the country road. But then we didn't ask either, it didn't hinder our fun though.

Líbí se Nice and quiet.

Nelíbí se Lack of bins. No Showers. Too steep a gradient on one side of the field to pitch tents. Would not be viable if busy.

Líbí se Loved the back to basics 2 night camp in my tent... 1 tap, 1 shower hose, for washing up or to fill a bowl for washing etc..
no hot water.. 2 porter loos, no signal, just pure peace with out all the home comforts and hotel trimmings..

you can pick up 4g in the owners farm house driveway opposite the campsite, or by the telegraph pole at the top of the campsite..

If your looking for a posh shower block, or heated loos, this isnt for you... dont leave a bad review because you were expecting butlins... go and book a hotel.. or do your research first, its not fair on the owners, (who are lovely).

This place is for outdoorsy people that want to be in nature camping around other quiet people, with the owls and the buzzards..
not a busy family site due to lack of facilities, it would not be entertaining for kids...but thats what i wanted.

lovely scenic walks.. woods and reservoir not too far away..
if your looking for a safe place to pitch up for a quiet break away with running water and a toilet only.. this is your place, fires allowed 🔥👍
take a camp shower and pop up tent.. if staying more than a night.. boil your water if you want a hot wash etc...
Loos are very clean, attended to daily and toilet roll is provided.
It depends on what your looking for..
A quiet place to read or recharge then book it..
A holiday park with all amenities and entertainment.. its not for you, don't turn up then leave a bad review. 🤷‍♀️
Anything you need or even just a chat.. Sue the owner and her husband are lovely people and go above and beyond to make your stay as peaceful and accommodating as possible.
A must for the solo campers or quiet peace seeking couples 😊 ⛺️ happy camping.

Nelíbí se Nothing I didnt like, it was all as I expected.
