What customers say
A highly rated, no-frills campsite with a chill vibe & great value. Staff are super friendly & helpful, and the beach is a short 5-min walk away, with amazing views. Basic but very clean facilities. Lots of space, you can pick your own spot. A nearby train line is rarely an issue. Perfect for a classic, easygoing camping trip.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Absolutely cannot recommend this place enough. A little slice of heaven. Facilities are top notch. Small walk to one of the best beaches I’ve been to and I’ve travelled abroad a lot. Martin is helpful, kind and is always checking in with people to make sure they are having a good time. You can tell this site is about people having a good time and not just all about the money. Already booked our next one and always thinking about the one after that!

Will stay again enjoyed our weekend stay x
Primitive cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked Lovely little site close to Ynyslas for beach walk. Bus to Aberystwyth a short walk away. 3 Toilets and 1 shower and 1 wash room each for male and female shower was 20p two minutes £1 for 10 minutes. Small washing up area. Recycling bins and water available. We stayed on the hard standing as we have a large motorhome and didn’t want to get stuck on the grass. The weather was fine so grass wouldn’t have been a problem.
Disliked Could do with an extra shower 1 male 1 female isn’t enough to be honest the washroom could easily be changed to a shower instead. Nothing else to dislike

Simple site not far from beach and nature reserve
Primitive grass tent campsite (backpacker, no cars)
Liked Great location. Less than couple miles walk from Borth station which you can do along the beach at low-tide.
Basic set up but clean and friendly welcome. Remember your 20ps for the shower 😂
Disliked Nothing I didn’t like. I read lots of reviews before I arrived. Will use again as great location if walking and using the train.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked The toilet and shower blocks were very clean. The site owners and staff were very friendly and welcoming. The campsite is a hill so you can park down the bottom or on top of the hill with views to the sea on a good day. There is a railway one side and a road the other, but traffic dies down between 8pm-8am and in the 24 hours we stayed on site there were about 5 trains total. Signal at the top of the hill is best if you do need signal for anything whilst camping.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Nice campsite with good clean facilities. Lots of room, although not a great deal of level ground. Ten minutes to a large pebble beach, twenty to a large sandy beach. 1.5 miles to start of Borth village.

Primitive grass campsite
Liked Staff are friendly and very helpful. Sort walk to the sea. Would definitely stay here again. Would give one tip though. If pitching bring hard ground pegs.
Disliked Train track is a wee bit close. But dose not take much to get used too.
