Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked: Wonderful setting, clean toilets and showers available.

Disliked: Toilet/shower doors should have something like a latch outside to keep them opening in the wind. Current campers use a stone to manoeuvre the vacant/engaged tab to engaged to stop the door opening. But difficult to know if there’s anyone in there? No wi-fi or signal available.

From the manager: Rrr thank you soo much for your comments and I promise you we will rectify the doors ASAP . Safe journey and thank you for picking us it means a lot 😀

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Lovely views with a really nice drive to the site located near a good few towns and 1 hour away from Aberystwyth. Exactly what we were looking for, a remote location with a great night sky view. It has a really nice stream running at the back of the site. Toilet and shower facility in one unit. Very clean site and very friendly owners who helped us out at a very late time with a fire pit issue we had.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked: Very rural and remote. Just a field with a recently built hard track an toilet block.

Disliked: I was traveling alone and using the site as a stop off on long journey. There was noone else on the site., apart from three empty caravans with no-one home. Decided not to stay because even in daylight it felt too isolated for me. There was a new toilet facility that I didn't check out. I'd prepaid £20 which seemed steep for one person .. gt for a larger group

Had an absolutely brilliant time. Cannot wait to come back!

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked: Location

Disliked: Campsite was nice and peaceful on arrival and as soon as we booked, a car of people returned to their tent where they pumped music from their car. Had that happened before we booked we wouldn't have stayed. We then found out later in the day that our neighbours would smoke weed constantly. Not a fan of portaloos and on multiple occasions these were below standards. Had this been a manned site we felt like these issues wouldn't have happened or could have been managed better. But without any contact details we had no one to report any problems we had to.

Overall great place to go if you want some peace and quite.

Primitive grass and earth travel trailer campsite

Liked: Did like how it was just in a private field and you can chose where you want to go. Lovely view of the stars and nice surroundings. The location is great we ended up on an amazing route through to Hefron Forrest (maybe spelt wrong) even though it was a bank holiday weekend it was super peaceful.

Disliked: I did expect a shower/toilet block but the toilet is a Porto cabin and the shower is built into the back of an old horse trailer. This is a back to basics site and is still very lovely though.

Local attractions

More of those marvellous Mid Wales views? There are plenty around… and a good place to start is at Clywedog Reservoir (15 minutes’ drive), which has a couple of signposted walking trails along the waterside and up to the huge 72-metre dam. You can stop off at the remains of the Bryntail Lead Mine while you’re in the area for a sniff of the area’s industrial past. Elsewhere, the Gilfach Nature Reserve (20 minutes) is another good spot for a wander, as is the route to the 90-metre Devil’s Bridge Falls (half an hour), taking in viewpoints to the Punch Bowl and Three Bridges. You may well spot some wildlife on your walks, but to be sure of doing so, visit the Red Kite Feeding Station (25 minutes) for close encounters with the big birds. Add a bit of history and culture to your break with a trip to the medieval remnants of Dolforwyn Castle (35 minutes) or an outing to Mid Wales Arts (20 minutes) to see what exhibitions and events are on while you’re in town.
