A charge of £0.50 (€0.59) applies for the use of the shower.- There are no bins onsite: all rubbish 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.

Non-electric grass tent pitch (two person)
Liked: Lovely walks available from the campsite. We liked that we could choose our own pitch! Location was great for exploring the area and there are lovely views from the site. Hot water in the toilets and plenty of soap.
Disliked: The facilities are very basic - we were only staying for 1 night so we chose not to use the showers as they didn’t look great. There’s also a very limited amount too. The ground was very rocky in some places which made securing tent pegs tricky.

Liked: Absolutely loved it, the owner was so lovely, the campsite is massive so plenty of spots to choose from. We stopped for 3 nights, we knew there was a storm coming but that didn't stop us, we watched thunder and lightening one night, saw the winds demolish 3 tents but it didn't put us off one bit. I even got wifi which was a bonus. Definitely the best camp site we have been too. So many beautiful views. We will be back next year for sure.
Disliked: Having to come home.

Liked: The area, the pitch, the facilities all perfect, the distance to local shops and attractions. The owner was lovely, based on a working farm and quite often have visiting work dogs, just wondering around the campsite. Me and my friends enjoyed our stay thouroughly, and will proberably be back.
Disliked: I wouldnt say i disliked it, but the hot water was hit and miss, the showers could do with a little bit of attention but again for a fully working campsite, it was least of any problems.

Liked: We loved the truly breathtaking scenery, the peace and quiet and the rural location. Rhian was lovely and welcoming and took time to show us the facilities and made sure we had settled in. We didn't have mobile signal, but we feel this was a good thing to switch off for our holiday, there is free WiFi in the shower block to check messages and emails if you want to. The site is great value for money, you couldn't put a price on the view. You are a short drive from other locations, but you can get a food delivery to save time, we had a Tesco delivery with all our essential just popped upto the entrance to meet the Tesco driver. The children loved playing pooh sticks in the stream and we all enjoyed our campfires with smores and baked potatoes. We will be returning and can't wait to feel relaxed and enjoy the tranquility. If you are looking for a peaceful, rural, relaxed experience, which is great value for money, look no further than bird rock campsite.
