What customers say
This campsite offers beautiful country views and a peaceful vibe. Guests love the clean, well-kept amenities, especially the hot showers. The friendly owners are also a big plus. It's a great base for exploring the Welsh countryside, with a village and pub nearby. Most reviews are great, though some mentioned spotty Wi-Fi and shared toilet issues.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Lovely site, nice and quiet. Clean facilities. Things for kids to do. Very friendly owners. We would definitely recommend the site and will be staying here again!
Disliked More of a suggestion than a dislike. Upon arrival it would have been useful to have a site map showing the pitch numbers to help find your pitch. During our stay we saw several people struggle with finding their pitches.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Absolutely stunning scenery! The facilities were decent and the rope swing was a wonderfully retro touch. Fire pits were allowed. The hosts were very welcoming on arrival.
Disliked Minor criticism that the pitch was quite sloped but it has prompted us to buy some levelling ramps. Very little signal and the free WiFi did not connect for the entirety of our stay (but it was quite nice being off the grid!)
