Liked Lovely views, loved being by the stream. Facilities were clean enough.
Owners were friendly.

Disliked The site hosted more tents than there was a space for, it was crammed and most evenings there was no space to park our car. On the website it mentioned that there is a shop and pub onsite but there was no shop and the pub only opened on Saturday afternoon for drinks.
Also dogs were allowed to wonder around on the pitching field and there was dog poo near our pitching space, we had to warn our children to watch out for it before it got picked up by someone later.

Disliked We arrived at this campsite after a 6 hour drive with our 2 young children. Only to turn around and leave. The lady that greeted us was very friendly however, in our opinion, this site is not set up for camping. The lady came out and requested we pitch our tent very close to another 2 tents, and said we must trail our electric lead in between these 2 tents. This would mean our lead would be constantly walked over and would be plugged in no where near our tent. We do not believe this site meets the 6m fire regulations. The toilets and washing facilities were not to our usual standards. We decided not to stay and left after looking round. This left us in a muddle because we had 2 young children and had to find somewhere else to stay at 7pm, 6 hours from home. We requested a refund as we felt this site was not fit for purpose and was not as advertised. However a refund was refused.

From the manager: An electric refund was given to you within an hour of your message on the same day, although I don’t feel like the refund was due at all since the camping field had half an acre of space for you to pitch wherever you wanted. There would have been no one around you if you chose for that to be the case so the cable safety comments really make no sense at all. Your family wasn’t happy on arrival and there wasn’t much I could have done to cheer you up.
My email to you is pasted below, but unfortunately I can’t share the photo (which shows a very spacious camping field). That day people pitched along the river out of choice next to their own groups and chose to be close together.

Hi [name of guest removed for privacy]

It turns out we have more space and I’m happy to move you to an alternative spot closer to an alternative electric hookup and you will have meters of space between you and others which conforms with all safety regulations and comfort.

The booking policy is advertised on pitch up and is non refundable as I won’t now fill that pitch.

But I’m happy to show you another location and you won’t have to travel back home. I hope that suits.

Just so you see it here’s a photo of all of the space on the camping field and you won’t actually be on the riverside. There’s also a dad with a telescope that he’s letting the children use which will be fun tonight. If you decide to come back I’ll wait around to check you back in late.

Kind regards

Liked Nice and clean spot for camping. Facilities such as shower and washing up were provided, very useful . Friendly staff

Liked Overview: Myself and my two young children, had a fantastic stay at this campsite. It exceeded our expectations, offering a perfect blend of affordability and natural beauty.

Location and Scenery: Chosen for its budget-friendly price and minimal light pollution, the campsite delivered breathtaking night skies. The highlight was stargazing - seeing the Milky Way and clusters like the Beehive with the naked eye was stunning. At home we need a telescope to see these and we brought a telescope but found it unnecessary. Watching the Perseid meteor shower’s remnants added magic to our evenings.

Activities: During the day, the kids loved playing in the stream, where small fish (possibly baby trout) nibbled dead skin from our feet—a unique, spa-like experience! The stream’s gentle sound also made nights incredibly peaceful and therapeutic.

Hospitality: The host was welcoming, greeting us on arrival and checking in to ensure our comfort. Their kindness enhanced our experience.

Overall: This campsite offered an unforgettable escape with natural beauty and tranquility. We’re already planning our return. (Photos to be added once downloaded from the camera.)

Disliked Nothing to dislike for us!

Liked Beautiful location. Ideal for a nice couple of nights away. Short run to Bala which was just what we were looking for. We all enjoyed a little bit of fishing in the river, especially the little ones they had a blast!

Disliked Pitches are on a slight slope but other than that it's a good location

Liked We had the best time. Camping on the edge of the river. It was quiet peaceful and so beautiful.
The children absolutely loved our stay.

Disliked The only thing we could have asked for was a toilet down by the tent area. It was all the way by the main gate. But this did not spoil or hinder our trip.
