What customers say
Peaceful riverside campsite with great staff & facilities. Beautiful location for walks & the White Water Centre. Coffee/milkshake machines a hit! Midges possible in warm weather, limited local shops mean a car's handy. Pitches usually spaced well.

Disliked Hand dryer in ladies toilets was not very good and the showers turn off quickly meaning you need to keep pressing the button and wait for the pressure to go back up.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind comments. We’re really glad you found the team friendly and helpful, enjoyed the spotless facilities, and made good use of the ice cream, coffee, and milk vending machines. It’s great to hear the 24‑hour fridge/freezer access, quiet evenings, and laundry facilities were useful too.
Being just a few miles from Bala is a definite help and commented a lot to us from other campers, not only for supplies but for the beautiful Llyn Tegid. We're glad having free WiFi and an on‑site shop made things easier, and we’re thrilled it all helped make your stay enjoyable.

Nice campsite, on the whole.
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent site
Liked Immaculate toilets and showers ( shower curtains rather than a lockable door in mens not ideal) good sized pitch, fairly quiet.
Disliked Advertised 'shop' opening hours really did not correspond with the actual opening times ? Signposted gates did not actually lead anywhere despite searching for an exit ( 'To Fron Goch' was actually, we think, an enclosed field!? Please advise if we didn't look hard enough!? 🤣)
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind comments. We're glad you found the cleanliness of our toilet and shower facilities immaculate and appreciate your note regarding the men’s showers and understand that curtains may not offer the level of privacy some guests prefer. Feedback like yours is very helpful as we continue reviewing potential improvements.
We’re delighted to hear you found the pitch spacious and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere on site. Thank you for sharing this—it’s wonderful to know these aspects contributed positively to your stay.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused by the shop not being open during the stated hours. We are never far away and always highlight to give the site mobile number a ring if the shop is closed. Being a small team, we often utilise quiet shop times to get minor jobs sorted. We will ensure our opening times are communicated more clearly and followed more consistently.
We appreciate you mentioning the signage. The “To Fron Goch” gate is part of an older access route that is no longer in use, and we understand how this could be confusing. Your feedback helps us identify areas where clearer signage would improve the guest experience.
It was a pleasure hosting you at the campsite, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your kind feedback. We hope to welcome you back again soon! 🏕️😊
