What customers say
A tidy, peaceful spot by the river with friendly hosts. Spotless facilities, generous pitches and easy river access are big hits. Expect potential queues during peak times and no shop, but there's a freezer. Management's responsive to feedback.

What a gem of a site.…
Patio powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked What a gem of a site. We loved it so much we tried to book again for next weekend when we got back home but unfortunately there's no availability. The site is beautifully maintained, we didn't need to use the facilities but everything looked immaculate. We were greeted on arrival and the whereabouts of everything explained. There's access to the river directly from the site and a beautiful spot to swim, the water was crystal clear. There are fantastic walks starting just yards from the site in lovely wooded areas, our dogs loved it. The site is directly off a road but we did not find the noise level intrusive at all and we certainly didn't hear any noise during the night. This is a lovely family and doggy friendly site and a beautiful area to explore.

Lovely quiet spot surrounded by trees.…
Patio powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Lovely quiet spot surrounded by trees. The small site is just right if you want something out of the way. Facilities were spotlessly clean and very well kept. The addition of the patio and the hammock made the afternoon much more enjoyable

Excellent venue as long as vehicle used is not too large.
Powered concrete slab caravan site
Liked Immaculate site, grass and vegetation kept beautifully. Showers/bathrooms very clean and well maintained. Access and gate good. Price reasonable.
Disliked Being fairly remote (8+ miles from Aberystwyth) meant local roads twisty and at times quite narrow.
