Oak Woodland primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked: A perfect location equipped with great facilities, including a convenient small shop, clean toilets and showers with hot water, a bar, freshly brewed coffee and an authentic Thai food caravan. The pitches are well distributed to maximise privacy, with plenty of choices. The campsite is very close to a relaxing stream, iconic trails and amazing walks. The management staff are super friendly, relaxed and helpful. It has become our go-to campsite in Wales.

Liked: The campsites The people The walking track to the estuary The kitchen The names of each campsite written on slate & translated to English
Disliked: A lot of rubbish and debris piled up behind the shop and around the stables. The rubbish is not in the way but it clashes to me with the beauty of the landscape.

Liked: What an incredible campsite that has quickly become a firm favourite of mine. Immaculate pitches that really give you that wild camping feel but with all the amenities you could want. Certain pitches can accommodate hammocks which is a big bonus. Lovely helpful staff.

Oak Woodland primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked: Really friendly staff and great pitches! Really dog friendly. Good fire provisions (fire pit & wood for sale on site) Clean and tidy, good showering/washing facilities on site. The showers were warm and consistent. Great little shop for bits I forgot, coffee in the morning and some delicious Thai takeaway for when I didn't want to cook. There was also a bar but I didn't use that.
Disliked: Toilets were a bit cramped but hey if you're going for this sort of wild camping experience you know what you're looking at. Maybe give the wheelbarrows a little bit of maintenance.
