What customers say

Spotless, quiet site by a river. Great, roomy amenities, especially the showers! Direct river access for a dip or fish. Friendly owners, peaceful spot. Be mindful of narrow local roads and potential peak-time facility limits.

A warm welcome from the lady too.
We will definitely be back.

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked It was small, quirky and pretty. The river was an added bonus for a keen cold swimmer. It was nice to be able to have a campfire (raised)

Disliked Only a little thing but having to walk on the busy road to book in

Great site for campers or just a couple traveling round.

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked Very clean
Great water access
Showers lovely
Clean and tidy facilities
Beautiful small site

Disliked Smaller than expected
Found owner very abrupt and rude
Would probably not take kids there again as didn't get the feeling it was family friendly so felt on edge the whole time we were there that we didn't upset the owner
Road very noisy and although I am a country girl there is a cockeral that crows all hours days and night lol

Damian S.

Power optional grass and earth site

Liked Everything. A beautiful, clean campsite next to the river. About twenty pitches. All the facilities were very clean, both shower rooms were big enough to accommodate the whole family and the showers themselves were fantastic, as good, probably better, than my home one! Within an hour of arriving we had already agreed with the owners to stay a further night and when we are up here again Dolau Afon will be my first call. Wonderful. (If you own a bigger vehicle come in from Aber on the B4340, imo, the best route in.)

Disliked Nothing.
