Bird Rock Campsite
View prices & book- Relaxed family-run working farm site in Snowdonia National Park
- Excellent area for hillwalking; two seaside resorts within 10 miles
- Bordered by a river; nearest pub four miles away in Bryncrug
Site type
- A charge of £0.50 ($0.86) applies for the use of the shower.
- There are no garbage cans onsite: all garbage will need to be taken home with you.
- The roads to the farm are made up of narrow country lanes, so can be tricky to access for those with bigger vehicles. As a river is on site, children must be supervised at all times. Cold water is free but there is a 20p charge for hot water in the taps.

Liked: The relaxed rural setting, although on a working farm. Stunning backdrop of “bird rock”, and Cadair Idris in distance. My son enjoyed playing in the river too!

Liked: Stunning location, very little noise and light pollution, amazingly friendly and helpful staff, showers that just bucket hot water at you and fill the shower tray giving you a bonus foot bath, Wi-Fi available but with poor range forcing you to switch off which was also lovely.
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: The location was great. Lovely views. About 15 mins drive from cadair idris. The camp manager was friendly and gave us lots of tips on walks and local places to see. There was wifi at the shower block. Firepit allowed. The toilets were fine, always had soap and toilet roll. No hot water. The shower was cold one day and didn't work at all the next day. But this didn't bother us as we had our own facilities. Overall a great stay for 15 quid a night.

Powered grass tent campsite (five person)
Liked: We came up for 3 nights family of 5, greeted very welcoming by the lady in the house. Tent set up by the little river running along which was beautiful. Surrounded by stunning scenery. Kids were safe playing around and always chatted to by AJ the site manager who was lovely. Its very remote which I didn't mind at all some people may find issue with that but not me. Locals with caravans were very welcoming. Make sure to take plenty of 50p's for shower use.
Disliked: Showers varied between hot and cold, my wife used the one in the girls toilets which she felt was better than the others. Maybe if a few people were having a shower at the same time it tends to get cold I'm not sure. WiFi only worked by the house, agin no issue for me but kids couldn't watch a film in tent as we didn't download them before going.

Liked: Been before, great solar heat shower and quite and friendly staff. After going at this time of year would only recommend going if you’re (1.) In a motorhome/campervan or (2.) In a caravan as the weather can be unpredictable and is at time unstable most tents
