Excellent site - highly recommended and would stay again.
Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (two person, small)
Liked Welcoming and friendly owner, Mel - great communication before our stay and met us at the site to show us around. Lots of local knowledge. Lovely, quiet site - toilets were immaculate. Location was perfect and as described. Off grid feel but still close to local amenities. Fire pits available but due to the heavy rain, we didn’t hire. No WiFi but great phone/internet service which I wasn’t expecting - hence the rating.
Disliked Nothing to dislike.
Good value for money, simple camping, handy spot
Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (two person, small)
Liked Great toilets, lots of thought has gone into the camp, gorgeous defined flat pitches with a hammock and privacy. Beautiful, peaceful with loads of birds! Perfect for the Snowdonia Slate Trail
Disliked A little hard to find, could do with signage on track maybe?

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (two person, small)
Liked The site was extremely well thought out to encompass the idea of wild camping. Having to hike to the location and no vehicles being allowed on site helped with the concept of low noise and a more natural fee to the site. The owners were very welcoming and on call whenever you needed which made purchasing the wood for a cozy evening fire pit a breeze. We were very fortunate to have very good weather for our two day stay which only enhanced our experience.
Disliked A bit of oil and a rubber stopper on the gate in to stop in banging and screeching would be Devine 😉.
Remote and Peaceful
Primitive grass and earth tent campsite (two person, small)
Liked This campsite is exactly what I needed. Wild enough to not take the ‘shine’ of the nature but with facilities. After a 8 hour cycle ride from Wrexham I was greeted by Dave who is a lovely gentleman.
The site itself has flat and maintained pitches with extremely clean toilets and drinking water.
The fact that it’s not accessible by cars was a bonus for me. A graft of a ride up from Betws-y-coed up the A5 but well worth it.

Liked Lovely site with a peaceful feel. The owner was incredibly friendly and
accommodating when we arrived as we had some transport problems. The toilets are well kept and clean. Would recommend to those who are looking for the next best thing to wild camping with the luxury of running water.
