What customers say
Beautiful views, peaceful vibe. Clean facilities, hot showers, private toilets. Owners are great! Spacious pitches with picnic tables. Limited dish sinks, occasional noise, but overall highly recommended, with many planning to return.

Peaceful and well maintained campsite
Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful and incredibly peaceful location. Swifts flying about in and amongst the pitches. Picnic tables next to all the pitches. Rope swing and slide for the kids. Good, well maintained facilities. Never had to wait for the toilet or a shower. Firepits and wood available. Less than 10 minutes from Machynlleth for supplies. Really lovely area with lots to explore.
Disliked The site is in a valley so inevitably the pitches are on slight inclines. Had a bit of sliding down the tent when sleeping but that’s not an uncommon experience!
