Fully-serviced concrete slab caravan site
Liked Our pitch had a beautiful view. We had plenty of space and our own tap and drain as well as a hook-up.The toilets and showers were clean but the water was cold when we tried to shower. Wi-Fi connected only on our second day when the site was less busy. There is a path from the site to the river and a very pretty walk along the riverside.
Disliked Cold water. Poor Wi-Fi signal when busy.

Great camping spot
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Great campsite in the mountains near Macllynleth, 15 mins from Borth Beach and 40 mins from Barmouth. 50mins from the Mach Loop. Big site with exceptional toilets and shower facilities and also access to washing machines. Loved it here, quiet and set up really good. Set in the beautiful mountains we had an electric tent pitch. Also had wifi and fire pits
Disliked Tent pitch was on a slight angle

Great place to go camping
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked A very friendly campsite. Toilets and showers clean and tidy. The area around the campsite was beautiful. We loved the fact that there were trees and a bit of a chance to hide from the sun. Views around were impressive.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked The stay was excellent!! The pitches are spacious and well laid out. The site is spotless! The facilities are maintained and are very clean. I cannot fault the site at all! The lady booking us in was friendly and seemed like a very nice person. There is plenty to do in the area and everyone else on the park seemed to be having a good time also! Thank you for a very enjoyable stay!
