Didn't try WiFi as EE has good signal here.
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Everything. A beautiful, clean campsite next to the river. About twenty pitches. All the facilities were very clean, both shower rooms were big enough to accommodate the whole family and the showers themselves were fantastic, as good, probably better, than my home one! Within an hour of arriving we had already agreed with the owners to stay a further night and when we are up here again Dolau Afon will be my first call. Wonderful. (If you own a bigger vehicle come in from Aber on the B4340, imo, the best route in.)

Excellent site, well maintained and hought out, friendly owners.
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Lovely campsite- perfect for us. Beautifully maintained, astetically pleasing and well thought out. Showers were hot, spacious and clean. My children particularly loved the social firepit as they made a friend and the two families came together at night around the fire.
Location is right next to a river and close to some footpaths through the near by woodland.
Owners were lovely and clearly work hard to ensure the site has everything you need from recycling bins, to hooks and shelves in the showers to poo bins for the dogs.

If you don’t stay you’ve missed a gem
Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Loved everything about this little gem of a campsite. Extremely well maintained. Flat pitches with electric and water hookups. Friendly owners who obviously keep it looking immaculate. All facilities are new and spotless clean and very reasonable price. Only about 16 pitches but lovely setting and very dog friendly. Would 100% return again

Power optional grass and earth campsite
Liked Absolutely stunning, clean & quiet. Close to hiking trails & a short drive to Aberystwyth. The river runs right next to the site and it is clean and beautiful. We will definitely return.
Disliked Nothing. Wish there was a shop closer but this isn't a criticism of the campsite at all.
