Liked: Warm reception from Andre (owner) upon arrival; couldn’t have been more convivial or pleasant, briefly but clearly explaining where everything was, where he could be found if needed, and just ensuring we were aware of the set-up.

Liked: The peaceful countryside views
Disliked: The very narrow track to get to the site was a big put off especially no signage anywhere. The portable cabin makeshift toilet block, very low toilets and not good showers that cost £1. The washing up facilities are in a very small tin shed, not great when there is more than one of you.

From the manager: Hi Sarah I’m Sorry your 1 night booked stay at our site was not to your liking. The accommodation was your own Campervan. The roads are typically Welsh and not large but we have much bigger units than yours here with no problem. In summer the roads do narrow due to foliage growth. Our toilets are standard height as you would find at home and the electric showers are £1 for as long as you like and clearly stated on the pitchup website. Thank you.
Great stay in idyllic location!

Liked: We visited for the weekend, after dropping a daughter off a Aberystwyth University. Aber camping was a 10/15 min drive away. Peaceful campsite. The nearby walks were stunning, but we had limited time to enjoy them, so we'll be back to take more time in the area. Local people were friendly & chatty. Good pint at the friendly local pub (the walk up the hill to it will make you ready for that pint 🙂). 2 toilets in the ladies, same in the mens, and also a shower in each block. Basic, but clean & shower was hot. Mostly had the site to ourselves. Small, limited pitches.

Liked: A lovely campsite in a gorgeous valley. Owner is very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our time there with lovely walks from the campsite. There is also a cute community library which you could visit for free and the local pub is also very friendly.
Disliked: Because of the amount of rain we had this August, the ground was very soft and it was hard for the campervans to drive out of the site without getting stuck in the mud. The owner was on hand to pull the vans out where needed though. The campsite might benefit from some mats or other form of path making. As the site has only been going for 2 years, I am sure this will be something that will be addressed in the near future.

From the manager: Hi. I’m glad you enjoyed our site. You are right it was one of the wettest Augusts on record. In fact one of the wettest summers! The ground was soft. When the sun has been out for a day or two the ground is fine as it drains well. We are looking at options on mats for next year as aesthetically we don’t really want to put roads in and spoil the feel of the site. I am always on hand to help. Thank you. 🏕️
