Liked: It was just me- a single mum with my young daughter. It was her first camping trip. The location is beautiful and the fact that it is quiet makes it great for a trip with young kids. Being a women on my own with a little girl can be a little scary at times but this site is secure (locked gate) and open so you feel comfortable. Beautiful river to dip in and clean toilets.
Disliked: Nothing. It was lovely.

Liked: What an idyllic spot. Right next to a typical mountain stream. Quiet. Toilets clean. Secure entrance gate. Minimal facilities which we like. Very friendly and helpful owner.
Disliked: It would be a good idea to provide a washing up area to prevent the waste water from spoiling the otherwise very clean and tidy site.

From the manager: Hello Laura
I am so glad you enjoyed our quiet site. Re the washing up facilities.... we are on to it. We have planned to install them behind the shower block, when the showers are competed. it is the next project.
Many pitches, well spaced, easy access

Liked: Amazing scenery, better than I imagined and we loved how rural the drive was to get there, felt like magic :)
Disliked: Only downside was next to a railway but it didn’t disrupt our sleep at all, only three trains (ish) came through in the full 24 hours of our stay
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thanks for your kind review
sorry about the railway bordering our land. its quite a historic railway line, which used to bring slate from Blaenau Ffestiniog.
It runs 3 times day time only, and is almost completely hidden from view by the woodlands....it's worth taking a trip on it to Blaenau as it travels through wild country, ducks down a Victorian tunnel and emerges in the World Heritage site of the slate mines. its a quaint, three carriage train
You can board it at Ponty Pant.....beware its a request stop so you have to flag the train down
