Liked: I’ve stayed here a few times and it had to be one of my favourite campsites in snowdonia. Facilities are good for a short stay and the atmosphere of the place is so nice. The campsite sells logs which has came in useful many times! There is a barrier around uneven ground, making sure everyone is set up on solid, even ground. The staff are contactable by a phone number which is really useful if the reception is closed. All the other campers are very friendly and it’s such a pleasurable experience!

Liked: Beautiful area which is located close to Betws-y-Coed. Lots of walking options available with good toilet block which was kept clean.
Disliked: We knew the area was farmland but had know idea that sheep would be roaming in the same field as we'd pitched our tent. The holiday was ruined by swarms of midges, I except I should have been better prepared for this but for anyone thinking of staying here please pack the necessary sprays or creams etc. We didn't even stay our first night due to the amount of bites I had.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked: The pitches are behind a locked gate, so it is more secure. The scenery is amazing with a river flowing through the site. You can pitch your vehicle/tent wherever you like within the site. It is located in a lovely area and not hard to find and great for exploring. Almost like wild camping with two flushing toilets but nothing else. Apart from on arrival i didn't see the owners personally.
Disliked: It is a sheep farm with animals sharing the fields with you so if you don't like sheep this is not for you! Not much cleaning of facilities although the toilet was clean the sinks weren't. Doesn't look like the showers will be built anytime soon.

From the manager: Hi glad you enjoyed the scenery I’m sorry I missed you . I walk round the campsite daily to link up with campers and have a chat, The toilets and sinks are cleaned daily, it is important to us to keep to a cleanly standard. Sorry you found the sinks below the proper level We’re working on the shower s, the delay is caused by the poor weather over winter and spring Meanwhile there’s a warm water cubicle in the women’s toilets where women can have a private wash
Very clean natural site perfect for walks
