Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Views, very close pub with good food, toilet and shower facilities. I think the shower/toilet facilities were probably the best I’ve seen! Pitches are also well-marked which reallly helps avoid crowding.
Disliked: Nothing!

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Excellent site in a stunning location. Easy to get to Dyfi bike park (10 min drive) and the opposite way the beautiful Aberdyfi. Shower and toilet block was clean and plenty of hot water - no complaints at all! We were running a little late arriving and Mair was very understanding. We were also very lucky to see two f35 fighter jets fly by on our first morning!

FHU cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite
Liked: Lovely clean and well maintained facilities. Great views (pitches 5, 6, and 7 have the best view) and woodland strolls with lots of birds.
Disliked: Pitches are quite small and close together so we felt a bit hemmed in at peak weekend times.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Fantastic site, spacious and with really gorgeous views of the valley and mountains. Showers were really hot, toilets clean and the site well kept. Very easy to book and check in.
Disliked: There is a road in the valley which can echo, but during the night it's quiet with no traffic.

Primitive grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Easy check in and we booked late in the day too, and they accommodated us. Excellent facilities with lots of toilets and showers. Also, very hot water for washing up + shower, plus free charging and fridge freezer zone. Stunning views, picnic benches with pitches. A nice buzz around the site with families and couples alike, but quiet and peaceful vibes. And all for a very reasonable price!
Disliked: Tough to find a flat pitch for our camper van late in the day, and quite a walk from tent pitches to facilities.
