Liked: The site along the beautiful Welsh coastline provided easy access to surrounding trails transport links and attractions. The seaside town of Barmouth, the miniature steam train in Fairbourne and the quaint little village of Dolgellau being some personal favourites. The setting in the steep hills and the old stone architecture of nearby buildings made for a cozy, homely atmosphere that put one's mind at ease when they were done with a day's adventuring. The facilities on site were very useful. The sinks and showers especially when it came to cleaning dishes or personal hygiene after a long hike. Indeed when I was there there was no shortage of spare cutlery or crockery left behind by other campers. While I chose not to avail of the fire pits or the barbeques on site, it was reassuring to have them as an option and would definitely use them if I was there again.The owners in Garthyfog would go above and beyond in the name of accommodating their guests and would always be attentive to the wishes of campers there. As a peaceful wee site, I'd recommend the site whether you're on your own or a family, passing through or staying a while.
