A charge of GBP0.50 ($0.97) applies for the use of the shower.- There are no bins onsite: all rubbish will need to be taken home with you.
- The roads to the farm are made up of narrow country lanes, so can be tricky to access for those with bigger vehicles. As a river is on site, children must be supervised at all times. Cold water is free but there is a 20p charge for hot water in the taps.

Unpowered grass tent site (two person)
Liked Good value for money. Site wasn’t over crowded - toilets and showers were clean but basic, as expected for the price.
Good location near to Cadar Idris and lovely beech at Tywyn.
Disliked WiFi across the site would be good but mentioned in description there wasn’t any.

Very good for the money.
Unpowered grass tent site (two person)
Liked Very pleasant host, the pitch/lawn area was expansive and well maintained.
Only a 15 minute walk to Abergynolwyn for essential supplies - set in a lovely, peaceful valley.
For the money you can't really complain.
Disliked Shower block is a bit tired, definitely workable but needs to be improved given the usage it gets from the site dwellers

Perfect stay!
Unpowered grass tent site (five person)
Liked Couldnt expect anything better, for the price of this site its value for money!
Staff well greeted you and were very nice.
Many places to pitch up and camp, also theres a river on site going around was perfect as the sun was out all weekend!
Loved having the firepit out on the night and the disposable bbq's.
Theres a communal area with freezer, sink, kettle, washing machine, and fridge but the fridge was broken at this time but wasnt an issue as the shop was 15 minutes away.
Free WIFI on site aswell
Toilets were at a nice standard
Disliked Fridge was broken

Unpowered grass tent site (two person)
Liked Really friendly camp manager, felt safe as a female solo traveller, toilets were clean and always topped up with paper and soap. Very peaceful.
Disliked Showers only take 50p piece of which I don’t have one but I managed with birdbaths!

Powered grass caravan site
Liked Everything - we wanted a place in the valley of the mountains with good views, scenery and wildlife but not too far away from main roads for places to visit and points of interest, we also wanted a mixture of basic facilities with a wild camp feel to it and that is definitely what we got at Bird Rock :-) the plot we had was tucked in the corner by the stream which was just amazing - falling asleep to that babbling and bubbling away then waking up with the sun, the cows, sheep and birds was simply breathtaking. The staff were helpful, friendly and relaxed and other campers were very thoughtful and polite. Have already recommended this site to others and will be visiting myself again! Thank you xo
