Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Good location, beautiful scenery, cheap. Some flat pitches. A park for younger children. Relaxed

Disliked: Only 4 toilets, unclean and unloved. Feels like the owners have given up. A good tidy up of the grounds, clear up broken glass and litter, empty the bins and a bit of maintenance/refurb of the toilets would make a huge difference.

Could be perfect with rule enforcement.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: The location was great, scenic walk into Llangollen.

Disliked: The facilities were not good. It was a big campsite, with electrical points and non electrical. They had 4 shower cubicles with a toilet and another cabin with a few toilets in. There were always queues outside the toilets.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked: Site is close to lots of walks, ample space, pub, toilets and showers on site

Disliked: Having to pay for things like awning as extras (why do tents get a vehicle plus 1 tent but I'm in a vehicle yet have to pay for awning?? Never got that, taking up the same if not less space but costs me more!) Pub had signs for carvery Sunday lunch but when we went in at 3.30pm were told it was bookings only, no signs to advise in advance so we could have booked. Was told where to park which was on a steep slope, rather than choose a spot on a flatter area that others set up in later.

Power optional grass travel trailer campsite

Liked: The staff seemed friendly enough and helpful.

Disliked: The site was in a poor state of repair. The showers and toilets need a complete refurbishment and a good clean they where filthy. Disused office equipment lay strewn around a disused static caravan. It was expensive considering the facilities. We left a day early

Powered grass campsite

Liked: The location

Disliked: Poor administration of the site, glass on the roadway by the toilet block. 4 toilets and integrated showers for the whole site, not enough by far. Would be far better with pitched marked out and a plan of the site. Needs much better toilet/shower block and cleaner better washing up facilities. Could then justify the cost.
