What customers say
A peaceful, clean campsite with lovely countryside and ocean views. Praised for great facilities, including a unique outdoor kitchen, and friendly, helpful hosts. Animal encounters, a playground, and pizza nights are hits. Minor notes: small shower stalls, steep access to amenities, and spotty WiFi. Pitches can get muddy.

Very good
Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked The site was a total joy, clean,tidy and quiet.
The facilities are excellent and extras you don’t normally get on many sites like fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle along with crockery, cutlery and a fire pit and pizza oven.
All I really needed was to turn up in the van and bring a toothbrush. It is well sited and I will recommend it and return.
The hosts deserve praise.
Thank you.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Liked Quite site , only stayed for 1 night as we were travelling through Wales.
Toilet/Showers were clean.
There is an outdoor area which has a microwave/kettle/toaster along with extra pans & glasses etc these are for anyone to use whilst we didn’t need anything it is a great idea in case you have forgotten something.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Lovely site, clean toilets and showers. We had a great welcome, there were lots of extras like the outdoor kitchen area with a microwave, kettle and toaster as well as spare crockery and cutlery if you forget anything.
If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this is the place for you. There are lovely views of the countryside with the sea beyond. There are also the animals which add to the relaxing atmosphere.
We’d definitely recommend this lovely quiet site.

Primitive grass campervan or tent campsite
Liked Lovely site, good amenities shower and toilets were super clean ,quiet peaceful location with a river at bottom of the valley for a cold swim. Views were amazing. Owners are a lovely young friendly couple and nothing was too much trouble. They have really put their heart and soul into this site and it shows.
The three baby goats were adorable, our jack Russell even became friends with them. Will be back Thankyou

Exceptional site, clean facilities, extra added touches.
Fenced primitive grass tent campsite
Liked What a Gem! We booked here (fenced, non electric pitch) for 2 nights as a taster into camping as was our first time. And what a great time we had. The site is absolutely fantastic, facilities are exceptional- clean toilet & shower blocks, with warm showers! The addition of a kitchen with a fridge to store your cool items, a microwave, kettle and toaster with an array of crockery and utensils really handy should you have forgotten anything. Excellent play area for children and the animals to feed and pet was all a lovely bonus. We happened to catch their Pizza night too, where they offered everyone fresh wood fired pizzas, which were absolutely delicious. Kids are already asking to go back. Thank you so much Arth Valley, and to the owners who were so friendly and welcoming.
