What customers say
Lovely spot with stunning views and super-clean facilities. Friendly owners, spacious pitches. Peaceful vibe, though a few found pitches a bit sloped. Might need more loos in busy times. Great for exploring!

Beautiful site on family farm with nice views of Dyfi valley
Unpowered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Beautiful location, lovely big grassy pitches with picnic benches, excellent facilities and super friendly and helpful staff. The small communal hut with power points, fridges and freezer is nice to sit in if you have a small tent or it’s raining. Very eco-friendly, easy to recycle including food composting.
Disliked Nothing really. Occasional queues for toilets in the morning but only 1 or 2 people. Wifi is OK, cuts in and out a bit, but pretty good for a farm/riverside location.
