Liked: We absolutely loved the location. Plenty of space. Lots of good walks nearby. Close to Barmouth bridge. Amazing views. Campsite itself is on the hill with 2 toilets and 2 shower blocks ( hot showers and coin operated ). All in clean condition. Washing up/kitchen area sheltered which is perfect when the weather is not good. Small and quite site where you can have a proper break😀 Really friendly and helpfull owners!!!
Disliked: Midges - but we have been prepared 🤭

Unpowered grass tent site
Liked: We liked owners and location is not bad. It was clean and looked after campsite.
Disliked: 🪰 was a nightmare. Almost all pitches are on steep slope. Sorry to say but it was the worst campsite where we stayed. I don't understand why it's got 9.7 review score. Flies are unbearable you simply can not stay and enjoy. Swamps around so only here was this problem. No freezer. I do not recommend.

Disliked: Really disappointed with our trip to Garthyfog campsite. Campsite was on a hill (not ideal) no fridge to store milk or chilled item. We where ment to stay for 2 nights but only ended up staying for one due yo the midjies, we had to stay in the tent due to this as my family where getting bitten. I have counted and I haven been bitten over 40 times
