Liked: Stayed with my daughter (10 years old) for two nights. Fiona and her husband (I think his name was Pete) are lovely. Fiona is so warm and welcoming. What a lovely house they have. Amazing they have a little outbuilding with a toaster, microwave and kettle and a little fridge freezer, it has a table and chairs, proper light and electric socket so you can charge your devises properly and a few games too. Next time we go (yes we would go back, my daughter loved it) I will take any old games we don’t use any more. Some reviews have negative comments about toilets and showers but I’ve experienced a lot worse camping. I think it almost adds to the charm. It’s a lovely location, 20 -30 minutes from most places you’d want to visit in Anglesey. You can check in any time and there’s no rush to leave, a real bonus when leaving. We were between 2 lovely families from Leeds.
Disliked: Noisy folk that came on our last night, they camped down under the trees but the noise did travel. A lot of kids running around and playing right at our car and tent but didn’t cause any nuisance tbh, they were just kids being kids. And that’s me really having to think of finding something to fault, and that’s not the site’s fault.

Non-electric hardstanding and grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Location, owner was friendly, site was small and offered different types of pitches. I understand this is a pop up campsite, so well done to the owner for making it so welcoming.
Disliked: Facilities were very, very basic - one portaloo for the whole site (and there were 4 large families, with around a dozen kids of various ages plus around a dozen adults also on the site whilst I was there), two showers with nowhere to hang clothes and opening onto the field so difficult to maintain privacy. The campsite was noisy - I appreciate the owner can't control that during the day, but screaming (literally) hordes of kids running around everyone's tents up to 11pm was not in any way controlled by instructions about a curfew time for noise. Not a site to go to when wanting peace and quiet.

Liked: We have done a lot of camping over the last few months and have been compelled to say that this site is, bar far, the most welcoming, relaxing, idyllic and versatile that we have experienced. Fiona and Peter could not be better hosts. It's clear to see that they have every visitor's best interests at heart. The showers and toilets are rustic but this adds to the charm and adventure of the site. Couldn't be more happy with the experience. Can't wait to go back. Thank you

Liked: Absolute gem of a campsite!! Stunning views from the fields. Yes the facilities are basic, but are clean and do the job they're meant for. (If you're camping you're not expecting the Hilton!!) 3 toilets across the site, 2 showers, (with plans to increase that number), a washing up area and hut with table and chairs microwave, toaster and kettle. Also has games and info on attractions in the area. Extremely child friendly site, but enough space to find a quieter area, one large field, one medium field with some hard standing and a lovely wooded area. If you're lucky you may see the family of red squirrels or hear the owls. The VERY best thing about this site though are the owners, nothing was too much trouble and they genuinely care about everyone's experience. We were sad to leave but plan to return as soon as possible, for many years to come! Fiona and Pete, we love you !!

Liked: Lovely site set with views of Snowdon. Pop-up sure with truly lovely hosts, who couldn’t be more friendly. Quiet location, with space for our tent with porch. Reasonable amenities, warm shower and flushing toilet. Great location within travelling distance of the A55 and Rhosneignr.
Disliked: Showers could do with better lighting and a place to hang clothes/towel. However, host says they are upgrading
