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.

Martin O.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Lovely campsite well situated just outside of Machynlleth within easy drive / ride of loads of great hills, forests and gravel trails, also 8 miles from the beach at Aberdyfi - I was up and out on my bike every morning and could have spent all day on the trails.

Campsite was very clean, tidy, well set out with good washing / toilet facilities, plus great views out over the hills - I'd go back for sure!

Disliked Having to come home.

Jane M.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Great view. It was nice to have a fridge and freezer available. The site seemed popular with large family groups.

Disliked The lack of specific pitches on the camping area is not ideal.
There were only 5 or 6 toilets and 3 showers on the site, and although we did not have to queue for them I could see this might be a problem. They could have been cleaner.
There were no notices suggesting that noise should be kept at a minimum after a certain time, and there were people making a fair bit of noise late at night.

Route directions

If travelling from north Wales via Dolgellau, cross the road by Dovey Bridge and take the Aberdovey Road (A493). The campsite is two miles from the bridge, signposted on the left, and then the first farm on the right. If travelling from Shrewbury/Welshpool, turn right by the clock in Machynlleth, then immediately left over the bridge. The campsite is on the left two miles up the road. If travelling from the south via Aberystwyth, drive straight through Machynlleth, over the bridge, immediately left and as above.

Local attractions

Four miles to the east is Machynlleth for the local street market on Wednesdays and getting techy at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT); it's also home to a comedy festival in the spring. Aberystwyth is about a 40-minute drive south for shops, restaurants and nights out. If you’d rather escape the towns, explore the award-winning beaches and harbours (15 minutes' drive) for fishing and strolling. The Aberdyfi estuary’s beaches and sand dunes are some of the best kept in the country, and for those who fancy a round (of golf, that is), the area is also home to an award-winning golf course. For kitesurfers and boarders, beaches at Tywyn, Borth and Fairbourne (the furthest of which is 10 miles away) should offer some exciting sporting opportunities, with some even offering tuition. Back on dry land, the Dyfi Bike Park (10 minutes) is known as one of the best mountain bike locations in all the land. If you prefer more laidback days out, take a trip to Talyllyn’s steam railway (around eight miles away) or travel from Aberystwyth to Devil’s Bridge on the Vale of Rheidol steam railway line.
