What customers say
This lovely, rustic campsite offers a serene, natural escape by a river with gorgeous views. Campers enjoy picking their own spots, fire pits, and local hikes. Facilities are basic but usually clean. Showers are coming soon. Praised for its peace, friendly owners, and value. Downsides: midges, muddy ground when wet, and some noise.

A great site, beautiful spot and easily access to the mountains.
Primitive cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked This site is excellent! It set in a beautiful place with lots of space and a fire pit if you want a real fire. The facilities are great and the host Jenny couldn't have been more helpful. I will certainly be coming back.

A beautiful campsite and an excellent base to explore Snowdonia from.
Primitive cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked The location is absolutely stunning and can't be beaten.
We liked that you can pitch anywhere you like and there are plenty of hiking trails right from the site.
It was nice and quiet each evening and everyone had lots of space. Firewood is sold on site.
Disliked There was no site map, and arrival was a bit confusing in the dark.

Gorgeous place to camp
Primitive cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked It was my partner and I'd first time visiting North Wales and what a beautiful and serene place to camp. Host is lovely, access to facilities like toilets, and showers; fire pits are available to use too (which if you need some wood you can buy at the cottage). Would defiantly stay again.
Disliked No allowed any kind of music/radio on.

Amazing, I will be back!
Primitive cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked This is such a lovely and well-maintained site. Sleeping beside the river, with the gentle presence of roaming animals, truly felt like a peaceful retreat. I wholeheartedly recommend it, and I’ll definitely look forward to returning.

From the manager: Hi Ryan
Thanks for your review. it sound like you had a peaceful nights sleep
Excellent site, we will be returning to in the summer.
Primitive cement/asphalt and grass campsite
Liked Enjoyed the calmness and views of the camp. As close to wild camping as you can get, with the privilege of showers.
Check in was easy, a knock on the door, and just told to go and pitch up wherever we liked.
Nice river flowing past the camp, with fantastic scenery. Plenty of fire pits if the weathers nice in the evening.
A lovely village round the corner, which has plenty of food places, shops, pubs and a petrol station. About a 5 minute drive, parking is very cheap as well. (Betwys-Y-Coed)
Disliked At no fault of the owner, some areas can get quite boggy when it rains. There is a section outside the toilet towards the main road which was like a paddling pool. So when you’re choosing your pitch, choose wisely. Some pitches did have hard standing parking spot
