Oak Woodland primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked: Couldn't really have been better, wild camping but not really. Facilities on site were great, little shop for stuff we'd forgotten. There was a friendly cat who came to spend time with us which was a bonus, and a Robin came and sat within a metre of us.
Disliked: Sinks didn't drain very well and the toilet cubicles were a little tight.

Oak Woodland primitive forest floor tent campsite
Liked: Gorgeous campsite. We had a woodland pitch and it felt very private, with 'wild' camping vibes. We had our 2 year old and he loved running around, splashing in puddles. The river and estuary is only a short walk away with amazing views. Very dog friendly. Pizza was delicious and cold drinks from the bar were just what we needed. Staff were lovely. Clean, basic facilities. We visited Barmouth beach abd Bala Lake, both about a 30 min drive from the campsite. Hope to visit again very soon!

Field primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Really friendly and welcoming. Camping field where you can pitch where you like rather than some sites where you're made to go where the campsite finds convenient. Beautiful views, lovely and quiet. Other campers were nice and civilised. We liked the bar and recycling facilities. Showers were decent enough. We'd definitely come again.
Disliked: Could do with a few more toilets, we were usually queueing for them. Maybe a compost toilet or two down the bottom would be good so you don't have to walk so far. Loved that we could buy food, but go easy on the salt!

Field primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Large site with a good selection of woodland or field pitches. The site is perfectly situated for many local things to do, with both Barmouth and Dolgellau worth visiting.
Disliked: Only 4 toilets, 2 dish washing and 3 showers for such a large site. There is quite a trek from the field pitches to the loo, don't leave it till the last minute folks. I selected stay again, but probably not in peak season
Recommend to friends Visit again
In summary honestly loved it. We all had an amazing time.

Field primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Spent 5 nights here as a couple with 2 kids and a dog. Can’t fault the accommodation of Cefn Coed. 7 minutes from the local town of Dolgellau. The on site shop has a lot of your amenities you need, along with the side bar which do amazing woodfried pizza nights. Located at the foot off the Mawddach Trail this place offered a full wild camping experience. We opted for the non electrical large tent pitch’s at the foot of the campsite, but would love to visit again and have one of their forest pitch’s for a fully immersed wild camping experience. The estuary is beautiful which leads up to the sea mouth over looking Barmouth. A truly stunning place and Adrian his daughter and communal offered a lot of local knowledge and helped us find key places for wild swims and waterfalls. Would definitely visit again.
Disliked: I only gave the WiFi a 1 star as I never really needed it nor did I know if there was any lol. Although this didn’t bother myself the communal showers and toilets weren’t a hit with the tribe for nothing more than comfortability. The lower tent picths for pegging was a bit of a challenge as we hit stone or slate of every attempt so I would just advise bringing a few extra pegs.
