What customers say
A beautiful, peaceful, off-grid Snowdonia site. Praised for stunning views, friendly hosts & homemade pizzas. Ideal for walking. Basic but clean facilities fit the wild camping vibe. Access can be muddy but is managed.

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked A beautiful quiet spot with everything you need- wide space, water, parking, loos.
We had the most wonderful time watching the stars by our campfire with our pups.
They were also incredibly flexible and helpful with our check-in having arrived very late at night.
Would highly recommend.

Can’t wait to come back.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked What a heartwarming fantastic rural place to pitch. The family friendly run business was really welcoming They even made home-made pizza which made our sons very happy. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you to Dan and his family.
Disliked Very frustrated to learn that the campsite is only open for 28 days we would’ve liked to have visited more often very confused why the National Trust will not extend the opening times for this wonderful little gem in Wales 🏴

Loved this campsite, would highly recommend
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Beautiful views, lots of space, quiet, amazing night skies and great location. Pizzas are delicious and eating it by the campfire was a highlight.
Disliked Lugging everything from car park to pitch wasn’t fun but worth it for having a quiet car free campsite. Wheelbarrows would help a lot with this.
Compost toilets were fine and kept clean but as they’re quite high some step stools for children would be appreciated.
