What customers say
Highly rated site, stunning views, peaceful vibes. Clean, modern facilities with hot showers. Spacious pitches, some with picnic tables. Friendly owners make it welcoming. Great base for exploring. Minor notes: timed shower lights, few on-site activities.

This site is more suited to camping rather than caravans.
Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked Beautiful views, nice location.
Disliked We stayed here for 7 nights and for 5 out of the 7 nights, it was definitely not peaceful. Our pitch no 9 was very cramped with a tent pitch/car parked under our window which didn’t help with the unacceptable noise levels. We had different neighbours but the last night was horrendous with music pumping from 3pm until 11pm then doors slamming. Prior to that night there were teenagers on bikes, screaming loudly in the evening making it difficult to report them due to not knowing which tent they were from. I would not recommend this site to anyone wanting a peaceful break and we were glad to go home.

Lovely peaceful site in a beautiful location.
Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked Fantastic views over Dyfi estuary from the pitches we stayed on ( 6 & 7). Friendly welcome at Reception. Good, clean toilets, showers, and dish washing area. It's nice that there's a room for campers, which must be useful in bad weather. We enjoyed the walk to Pennal village from the site along a quiet lane.
Disliked A minor point - the grey waste water drain was in an awkward spot for our van to use. We had to block access to some other pitches while emptying the tank.
