Liked: Great site, fantastic flat, good sized pitches with direct access to Llyn Tegid. Super clean facilities with lots of space in showers and hot water.
Disliked: Difficult to find off lead dog walks direct from site as over farmland and a distance into town to access the lake.

Primitive grass campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: Very clean, well maintained, great location. Showers, toilets and washing up area all looked newly renovated. The site rules were clear but not overkill, and thankfully seemed to be followed by everyone who was there. We liked the place that much we expended our trip by an extra night.
Disliked: Not that I disliked it but found the play area in a slightly odd place. Had we stayed another night we would have hopefully ventured round to using it!

Disliked: I can’t fault this site at all.
