Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Hospitality was impeccable! Greeted with smiling faces, they went above our expectations, providing us with an upgrade and even lending us some garden furniture!
I mentioned I was visiting with the purpose of going to the Mach Loop and was soon introduced to fellow aviation fanatics.
Absolutely breath taking views, gleaming facilities and top notch customer services - super affordable too!!
Absolute bonus if you're into birds too - there's a bird hide!! Jays, Kingfishers, Woodpeckers, all sorts to see. Plus you're right next to the Osprey Centre, a stones throw away!
Can't recommend enough. Best campsite I've been to.
Why are you still reading this?...Book it already!
Disliked That I only booked 1 night, wish I'd have booked a longer stay.
From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, much appreciated. Sounds like it was a busy day on the Mach Loop - hope your day was as good as you had hoped! We are glad you enjoyed your stay - hopefully see you again.
A gem of a site. Well kept, clean and with lovely walks…
Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (large)
Liked A gem of a site. Well kept, clean and with lovely walks and a super bird watching hide all on the site. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Dyfi Osprey project next door with an easy path straight to it.
Disliked No pubs or anywhere to buy provisions nearby and main road not safe to walk, but these are minor issues if you plan in advance.
From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, much appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed your stay - hopefully see you again.
Very well maintained and beautifully laid out site with far reaching views.…
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Very well maintained and beautifully laid out site with far reaching views. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Lots to see in the surrounding area and a bus stop just outside.
Bird hide and nature reserve on site were a plus with lots of species visiting.
Disliked Some road noise in camping area.
From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, much appreciated. We are glad you enjoyed your stay - hopefully see you again.
Location, facilities clean, hot water and washing up area.…
Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (large)
Liked Location, facilities clean, hot water and washing up area.
Disliked Showers turned off after what seemed like seconds. Had to pay for an additional night even though we left due to my husband hurting his back, couldn't sit and could barely walk.
From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - sorry that you were not satisfied with some aspects of the Park and Service we provide. If you had mentioned your concerns during your stay we would have endeavoured to resolve any issues. We have had no other reports about the showers shutting off after a few seconds; they have been serviced just this week by MIRA engineers with no problems reported. Also, we did not charge you for an additional night, it was solely your choice to leave a day early due to your husbands unfortunate bad back. You didn't mention or request a refund, only that you were going home a day earlier than you'd booked. We hope your husband is now fully recovered. Sorry again that you did not enjoy your stay.
Well run site…

Excellent site with super clean facilities on spacious level pitches
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked I had a fantastic 4 night break at Morben Isaf which is set in beautifully manicured grounds next to the Dyfi Osprey Centre. All of the management and staff on site were very helpful and friendly and went the extra mile to ensure my stay there was extremely comfortable. The shower and toilet facilities were of a very high standard and exceptionally clean at all times. The site is on a main bus route with regular buses to Aberystwyth, Machynlleth and beyond and I found it an ideal place to stay whilst completing sections of the Welsh Coastal Path and visiting the local area. As a 65 year old backpacker I have stayed on many sites over the years and Morben Isaf has got to be a new favourite and I would highly recommend it.
Disliked Nothing to dislike only having to pack up to return home.
From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, much appreciated. Hope the knee and hip are better! We are glad you enjoyed your stay - hopefully see you again.
Facilities clean and regularly maintained
Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site (large)
Liked Lovely clean site beautifully maintained with good access to local area.
On site walks excellent with amazing bird hide.
Disliked Only downside is the noise from the busy road due to the proximity of the pitches.
From the manager: Thanks for taking the time to leave a review - sorry that you were not satisfied with some aspects of the Park and Service we provide. Unfortunately any road noise is beyond our control.
It’s a 10 from me 👏
