Excellent location, good facilities. Could be alot cleaner though.
Electric grass pitch
Liked Excellent location with river and lakes nearby. Good facilities with shower, toilets and bins provided. Nice and spacious pitches. Small shop and coffee on site. Fire pits provided with deposit.
Disliked Fresh dog poo in pitch on arrival which we had to clean up ourselves as noone was at reception after 6pm. Mens toilet and shower block was disgusting with grass and mud all over the floor and walls making it hard to believe they were cleaned that day. No temperature control on showers. Not enough showers for the amount of guests on site. For this reason i believe its slightly overpirced. Worst mosquitos than any place we have ever stayed! Get ready to be eaten alive!

Beautiful, peaceful, family friendly, stunning walking routes
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked The site is so beautiful, we came to stop 21.6.25 in our tentbox we had a motor ehu pitch..sadly due to my daughter falling ill and my camping stove not working we ended up packing up and heading home. Which was a shame.
The site has a beautiful lake which you can walk along the side off and across the bridge to like a small centre where they do serve coffee n tea.
The site has a lovely toilet/shower block and place to wash up and dispose of any rubbish.
It also has a small reception area with a small tuck shop for those needs ( they even stock Paracetamol thank you btw)
The coffee machine outside i actually didn't try as brought my own machine with me. But the icecream vending one was cute. I must insist you take coins for it as card payment can play up ( this happened to me twice)
If you are visiting i suggest a short car trip to Harlech beach you will not be disappointed 😊
We are booking to come back to stay over this time.
Disliked Only thing I struggled with was the gate opening to the walk way of the lake. It was very stiff and made a huge noise which could of disturbed those inside the huts ext that was my only worry.

Electric grass pitch
Liked Nice quiet site. Good and clean facilities. Beautiful and scenic location.
Disliked When booking we had no option to book an non electric camping pitch. Camping pitch we were allocated wasn't level. We slept fine but any more of a slope.and it would be uncomfortable.
