Meadow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Easy to use website. Suzy is super friendly and helpful, allowing flexibility with booking changes too! Facilities great: Attention to details like lighting, bedding, kitchen crockery, spacious shelters for when it's raining.... Showers at perfect temperature! Plus lots of space for kids to run around and games for them to play.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike here! Even the compost toilets were well made, not smelly and had clear instructions on how to use!

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked: Great location, friendly hosts, nicely set up and pretty site with loads of space. Even though we were on the camper van pitch next to the parking I thought it was good that cars were parked away from the tent and glamping pitches- wheel barrows are provided for luggage transport.

Meadow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Another lovely stay at the site, lots of upgrades since we last went. Our view is still that this is one of the best secluded campsites in Wales. Joe and Suzi are very friendly and approachable for local knowledge and points of interest, you can tell how much they care about the site due to the time and effort they put into keeping everything 100%. Our kids enjoyed every moment we travelled 5hrs and it’s been worth it again. If anyone has big football fan kids like I do Wrexham fc is 1.5hr drive from site and worth the visit. On site your allocated your own composting toilet, there are 2 clean hot showers. Camp fridge and charging points, a camp fridge with local ales/wine and soft drinks, also so some meats. Camp shop with snacks coffee and teas, payable via a qr code or honesty box. Once a week they also hold a pizza night. Mobile network was also full not that we needed it. We will visit again for sure
Disliked: Nothing your every need is catered for!

Liked: Lovely site with very accommodating owners, dark skies and clean facilities. We came to sit quietly, make dinner round a campfire and chill out and that is exactly what we achieved. Plenty of dog walks locally as well as further afield and loads to do in the immediate area for both the intrepid and the less so. As my brothers and I usually go properly wild camping, this was absolutely amazing. Heated showers and a fridge/freezer? Luxury! Can't recommend it enough. Fabulous watching the red kites circling around and periodically diving for their dinner in the same field that you're camping in too :-)
Disliked: Gambled and lost on the weather a bit. Suzi isn't wrong - they're quite high above sea level. Don't underestimate that and check the wind direction forecast when pitching your tent.

From the manager: Hi! Thanks so much for taking the time to review us! I’m glad you had a lovely time & enjoyed yourselves even though the weather was difficult! Do come again& I’ll make sure I order sunshine :-)
Excellent campsite, very clean and peaceful. Lovely remote location.

Meadow non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: I came to stay here with my 14 year old daughter and her friend for 2 nights. I was a bit worried that they may not enjoy camping, being teenagers, but they loved it and said it was just an amazing site. They especially loved the lambs in the nearby field and the horses. This is the nicest campsite that I have stayed at. It was beautiful! Peaceful, clean, and a lovely location. The facilities were great, compost toilet, shower with hot water, washing up facilities, a fridge and freezer in the shed, your own fire pit and sitting area. Suzi was very welcoming, accommodating and friendly. I would love to return here and to stay longer, as I’d like do some walking and explore more of this lovely area.
