What customers say
This gorgeous, remote spot offers a chill escape with amazing nature, a lake and hiking trails. Owners are legends, facilities spotless (hot showers included), with fire pits and picnic tables. Access roads can be a bit of a bumpy ride, and loos/showers might get busy.

Anonymous Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Lovely little campsite with plenty of space, great for kids to run round. Was very peaceful and a great place to relax. Also a great location between Harlech and Barmouth.
Disliked The midgees, but you get them everywhere.

Would recommend for anyone who likes to get away from the crowds.
Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked A lovely quiet site with choice of pitch if you're there early. Large pitch, car allowed next to tent. Each pitch has its own fire pit( wood available to buy) and picnic bench, so table not needed.
Basic facilities but functional. Thought the large family wet room- changing table, loo, basin and shower, was a good idea.
Don't believe some of the negative comments about the access from the village- yes, single track but plenty of passing places. Just drive sensibly!
Railway station in Llanbedr if you want to go up or down the coast.
Pub in Llanbedr....seemed very popular for food which looked good
Plenty of walks.
Disliked Nobody's fault....but lots of midges in the evening. Go prepared....

Beautiful place
Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Secluded and quiet once all the kids went to bed, perfect for young children as its a big open field surrounded by fencing and a small wood to play in, the pitches are large and designated, you are not packed in like many other sites, which makes it easy to keep an eye on the kids, sunny sands beach , Barmouth, good pubs etc just down the road, beautiful nature reserve 5 minutes drive from the campsite, definitely coming back.
Disliked Biting flies at night but there’s a lake right next to the campsite so goes with the territory

Excellent value for money, basic and quiet campsite. Recommended

Liked I very much enjoyed my stay at Hideaway in the Hills. A superb location, one of the most beautiful valleys in Britain IMHO. The site was peaceful. The pod was great, very cute. The facilities were clean.
Disliked Midges.

What an excellent, out of the way place to camp.
Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Each pitch has its own picnic table and fire pit, there seemed to be lots of space between pitches but as we were the only ones there it was hard to tell. The owner was lovely, she chatted with us for a while. The facilities were clean.
There is even a shepherds hut that can be hired
Disliked Nothing on this visit

All the facilities you need with a wild camping feel to it and space.
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Spacious pitches and very peaceful. Facilities basic but always clean and never needed to wait to use anything. If you want to feel away from it all this is perfect. Owner very welcoming and helped us plan our days. Need a car to get to town or shops but if take a bike like we did you can cycle. Brilliant location for cycling as lanes around the site pretty much traffic free. WiFi works really well on the site too.
