Aber Camping

Liked: Surrounding countryside

Disliked: Lack of attention to site. Disappointed. For the price we paid for a small pitch with no electric - we would have liked to have seen a better quality of area. Just a feeling of lack of care. No light in toilet facility. Nice building which we initially thought was toilets showers etc but turned out to be site office! Run down shack for toilets. I wouldn’t of paid more than £10 per night for what was offered Only plus for us was the surrounding countryside which was very picturesque

From the manager: Hi Catherine. Thanks for your review. I do wish people would let me know if there’s an issue with the site. I found out from another camper that the electrics had blown in the purpose built shower and toilet block. We had had horrendous rain previously and found that it had tripped our solar array and subsequently tripped the camp site electrics. So sincere apologies about no lights in there. Obviously we have lights inside but with the electrics tripped they were not operating. Now rectified. The site is purposefully cut as it is to give guests a real countryside camping feel and to encourage wildlife. The pitch you were on is 35ft by 26ft, and a special non electric pitch as requested which is the closest one to the toilet block. If you wanted electric then we could have put you on a closer pitch. The larger “nice building” is actually a craft cabin for workshops and a small part of it is for the camp shop and office. If you would like a FREE night then I would be delighted to see you both again. Hopefully we can do better for you. Kind regards Andre

Liked: Nice quiet campsite in a great location with lovely views and some nice walks nearby The owner Andreas was very friendly and helpful

Disliked: Nothing I particularly disliked I was a solo traveler and was charged the same as a couple- not complaining as most campsites do that but I do think a discount for solo campers would be nice

From the manager: Hi Richard. Glad you enjoyed staying here even though the rain was intense and everything was muddy in the toilet block. We cannot offer a discount for a solo traveler as a pitch is a pitch. Whether 1 person or 4 it’s a spacious pitch and allocated for 2 people. If more than 2 are on one pitch then there is an additional charge, due to more toilet paper, hand soap, water, hand towels etc being used. The facilities we offer are quite extensive with hot electric showers, hot running water in the toilet area and the washing up cabin. The washing machine is there for everyone to use and so is the freezer block freezing facility on hand for all campers. Fresh running water off our mains is available at all outlets on site. There is also the rental of fire pits available (which you took advantage of for only £2.50 a night) when folks bring their own wood and our little shop with milk, eggs, essentials, drinks, toothbrushes etc are available to all campers. We are glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet here. Kind regards Andre

From the manager: Hiya. So glad you liked our quiet peaceful site. Great photo too. Hopefully see you again next year. Thanks Andre

Liked: Aber campsite is peaceful and located a beautiful area. 😍 It is always a bonus when campsites are adults only with no dogs. Hiking and biking around the area. Bwlch Nant yr Arian Forest Visitor Centre close by. Flat and spacious pitches which are not close to each other. Clean facilities.

Disliked: The only slight annoyance was lights are sensor controlled in the toilet they will go off even if sitting on the toilet or you are washing your hands.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. I fully agree with you about the sensor lights. Unfortunately there is no adjustment on them to make them stay on longer. We looking at new lights for the next season which can be adjusted. Glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet here. Hopefully see you again. Andre

Liked: Lovely little site, great shower block and service. Wonderful pub 5 minute walk, we at the recommend steak pie, WOW stunning. Would highly recommend if looking for peace and quite.

From the manager: Thank you for the review. The Druid Inn does have fab food and great beer selections. Look forward to seeing you again sometime. Thanks. Andre

Liked: We loved the setting at Aber Camping. The hills were beautiful and we had sheep and Shetland ponies on our doorstep! The site seemed very well organised and the team were very helpful when we called to say we would be arriving quite late.

From the manager: Hi So glad you enjoyed our secluded campsite. The sheep and shetlands are so adorable. I’m sorry I didn’t get to meet you personally. You are welcome anytime. Kind regards Andre

Liked: Plenty of space, clean facilities and friendly and helpful owners. Nice pub and good food within walking distance. Larger motorhomes may struggle with the lane leading to the site.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: So glad you had a relaxing stay with us. You are right about the lanes. Now the hedges have been cut it makes it a bit easier. Large motorhomes will find it tight but campervans and smaller (up to 5m) motorhomes are fine. Was a pleasure talking with you. See you again sometime. Thanks Andre
