A tidy, peaceful riverside campsite. Guests loved the clean facilities, especially showers, and the owners' helpfulness. Spacious, level pitches. Great for relaxing & exploring nature. Note: Shower wait times & slight road noise at busy periods.

Great location
Powered grass campsite
Liked Great location, Aberystwyth a 20min drive and Devils bridge 15mins. Friendly owners, really helpful, was abit of a mix up with the bookings but was sorted right away. Site is lovely and well maintained, felt like the grass pitches were a little close together but fortunately it wasnt too busy. Facilities are spotlessly clean, although there is only 2 showers and 2 loos again it wasnt too busy so wasnt too much of an issue. Theres a river that runs right by, with access from the site, not deep enough for a swim but a nice quiet place to soak feet after a long day. Would recommend and stay again

From the manager: Thank you for the review.
I would just like to correct you on the number of toilets - there are actually 3 toilets, and 2 urinals for the men.
Pitches are well spaced, and there is plenty of room, its a matter of how you arrange yourself on your pitch, or how your neighbour arranges themselves as to spacing. The pitches are wide enough, with the option of coming out towards the middle of the site too, you do not need to crowd and huddle together.
The river offers a deep pool under the bridge for swimming, however, the river is very low at the moment as there has been no rain for several weeks.
We would love to see you again.

Patio powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked We had the pitch with the patio and hammock which was a wonderful space to enjoy for the evening. Toilets and showers were very clean too. Only stayed one night but really relaxing quiet site. Friendly owner, would definitely stay again.
