What customers say
A grand spot, kept well and friendly owners. Nice by the stream, grand for the kids and dogs. A few oldies mentioned the loos were a bit dated and there's not much nearby. Perfect for a quiet break.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Lovely small quiet site. The owner Paul was really welcoming and helpful with his local knowledge. He recommended a pub for us to enjoy a pub lunch. The site was not overcrowded and had a lovely river and dog run section which we used to watch the sun set. I would recommend for a quiet and cosy break

Excellent campsite, would definitely recommend.
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The campsite is located in a beautiful area and the tent pitches are right by the river. The toilets are clean and well maintained and the laundry/dishwashing room was a great addition.
Disliked The toilets were a good walk away from the tent pitches. We had to walk past all the caravans to get there which felt a bit bizarre. We were also pitched right next to two couples who were up until 11-11:30pm chatting and laughing. They weren't being antisocial but we had a 7 year old with us and there were plenty of other pitches they could have been allocated away from us.

Worth another visir

Liked Great little site I used to visit the bike park. Used one of the "hobbit huts". Was all I needed. Clean and tidy. The manager was friendly and helpful. Only 1 night so can't say much more

Electric optional gravel touring pitch
Liked A really nice site and ideally located to explore more of Mid Wales; We used it as a base to visit Hafren Forest, Aberdyfi, and even cruise up to Black Rock Sands, before eventually moving on. So many options within an 80 minute radius.
We had a hardstanding pitch with 16 amp hookup, which was great, but the grass pitches (for camping) were equally well equipped and flat.
Paul was nice, the site was tidy and well kept, there was a great little kids play area, and even a babbling brook behind the bushes.
We will most certainly be coming back in the future.

Camping pod (family)
Liked The location is ideal, just a stone’s throw away from Llyn Clywedog Dam, Bryntail Leadworks, and Hafren Forest. If you're looking for a peaceful, serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the place to be.
A special mention to the owner, Paul, who was such a warm and welcoming host. It was an absolute pleasure staying here, and we’re so grateful for the wonderful experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back on our next trip!

It has the potential to be a the perfect site
Electric optional gravel touring pitch
Liked * pitch area was clean
* Situated in beautiful area, but it lacked amenities, like shop. You had to drive a fair bit to next village.
*Dog run , was perfect the best we have seen. Plenty of spaces and it's reached by road. ! Suggestion maybe a walk bridge from site to dog walk , if feedable.
* Very quiet and peaceful, with sound of birds and river water,
Disliked * Confusion over on pitch positioning the caravan as there was no Markings to indicate this - there is improvement to do so .
* Having pitch numbers would be ideal
* No shed where we could find information on what's around the area or information on where to find food shop , cafe, pub restaurant - there is improvement to do so
* Also a bookshelf for book swapping in the "information shed " should they decide to put one up.
* Toilets. Mens side was not as clean as the ladies - but improvements can be made. Like signs could be put up to state after use.

From the manager: Before we comment on this, we are asking Pitch up to follow this up on the basis this is not a review !
Hello Melvin,
To all our guests from the past and newcomers we thank you for the positive feedback both in person and in written form. More often than not we never find the need to respond as your comments speak for themselves.
Imagine our dismay from our family of three from who felt it appropriate to make scathing comments in a review. As with all our guests we endeavour to point out the layout of the park and respond to any questions raised about location and facilities.
Cringoed has evolved over 20 plus years, as for your comments, such as the dog field being accessible by road, the dog field is a new addition to the site and is a very good perk included within the price of your stay, so the aspect of it being accessible by road is hardly justified, it’s a walk of 20 meters on a wide grass verge. .Thankfully it is most appreciated by all other users.
Based upon your summary, perhaps a question mark isn’t it a little odd, of the guests leaving us yesterday, you were the last to leave, with so much negativity why did you stay so long.
Now to your rather unfortunate suggestions, based upon assumptions or fabrications.
In the laundry room, there are boards on the wall that indicate pubs near by and activities. It is also possible to ask staff where you can go as we have lived here all of our lives and are more than happy to suggest places of interest and places that are worth visiting.
It’s also possible to google where you are going before your visit so that you can have this planned out! Not forgetting there are numerous leaflets on display, in the Laundry room. Likewise Pitch up displays all available services we have, which clearly you failed to check.
Is it really a review to comment on whether there is a book swapping shed.
As for signage perhaps you missed them, mops are provided in both toilets, it
is also common courtesy for people to clean up after themselves, in addition
too the numerous cleaning the park provides, no less than 6 times a day.
Pitch numbers, why is this even relevant when all our guests including you are given an escort to the available pitches.
