Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked: Quiet and easygoing site. We loved being setup by the stream and of course the chickens! No strict rules about gazebos and things like that. Very cheap price almost to the point of we thought it was too good to be true.
Disliked: Just one minor point while the toilets and shower were clean and had hot water the site was never more than half full during our stay and there wasn't enough facilities at times (1 male,1 female and just 1 shared shower) but we worked around it.

Liked: Lovely toilet and shower with warm water. Just what we needed on this rainy night. No mirror though so take your own. Sink to wash dishes was adequate but no hot water there Kept walk way to toilets relatively mud free by guiding tape to take cars another way. Owns very understanding and helpful when we arrived a little late

Liked: Brilliant location with easy access to Snowdon and Llyn Peninsula Loved seeing the chickens roaming around and falling asleep to the sound of the running river next to our pitch. Toilets were kept pretty clean considering it was raining and the field become muddy. Some great areas and spots to pitch. Very reasonable for camping which is ideal for a basic campsite. If the site wasn't busy then it could almost feel like wild camping.
Disliked: Only 1 shower and 2 toilets. Site was very busy during our stay it was bank holiday weekend.
