What customers say

This tidy park has top-notch facilities and roomy, flat sites, often with sea or mountain views. Visitors liked the handy spot, a quick walk to town and shops, and the staff's friendly service. Mostly clean, though a few mentioned shower temps and cleaning could be better. Can be windy. Highly recommended, great value.

Hil H.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked There was a Person on reception
Price - very affordable for non electric camping
As a gale was blowing in, I was offered a variety of places to pitch my tent
Lots of water taps
Walking distance to the village and handy for Abertyfi
Very tidy well kept site apart from little stream which had bits of rubbish blown into it. Loos and showers clean and very spacious
Whole site is flat so no issue getting a flat pitch

Disliked The reception person greeted me but was not available immediately. I had to wait more than 5 mins for her to finish a meeting in another room
There are bright lights all night on every electric hookup on every pitch . You need an eye mask to be able to sleep
There was no freezer available for ice packs for campers. There was a fridge with an icebox in the games room but no plug on the end of its cable. Maybe campers had done it?
The site is windy but has hardly any windbreaks planted. A gale blew up.
One double socket available on whole site was located in games room for drying your hair or charging a phone but its fair to say that would not be an issue if you paid for electric hookup..
No habitat for wildlife. No trees.

Gary A.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Beautiful setting. Close to town and sea.
Flat ground. Short grass. Showers. Dishwashing. Games room.
Lovely lady at reception.

Disliked Toilets not cleaned every day.
Some cubicle doors don't lock.
No freezer or phone charging.
Tent pitches have no shelter from wind and rain.
More gates between fields might stop people driving to toilets instead of walking around. Yes, they really do that!!

Matthew H.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Showers good and clean. General facilities nice. Owner was a really lovely lady and was a pleasure to meet her.

Disliked Bit of a long walk to shower block and toilets from tent area. I don't mind walking, but was a bit of a pain when there were various trips for washing up, toilet, showers etc. But it's only a small dislike.

Local attractions

Want to take in the gorgeous Welsh coast from the comfort of a train carriage? The Cambrian Coast Railway departs from Aberdyfi (five minutes’ drive), travelling up Cardigan Bay towards Aberystwyth and taking in gorgeous cliffs. On the railway, it’ll take around 40 minutes to reach Barmouth, a stunning spot for paddleboarding, sea kayaking or wandering between the town’s museums, cafés and ice cream parlours. King Arthur's Labyrinth (half an hour) is a fine choice for a day of legend-telling in the national park’s mountains. A boatman will guide you underground to a waterfall, and there’s also a Welsh deli selling produce like Welsh honey, ciders, eggs and cheeses for your picnic. Meanwhile, for those mountain hikes, Penygader, one of the Welsh three peaks and 893 metres high, is a 25-minute drive away. If you're still raring to go on another stroll, get onto the coastal path or try the trails at the Dolgoch Waterfalls, 15 minutes’ drive away.
