Liked Spacious pitches, great facilities. Welcoming campsite

Liked Secluded woodland pitches, great location, lots of wildlife nearby

Bar and pizza were a nice addition

Staff were friendly and helpful

Disliked Only 3 showers and 4 toilets for the whole site - had to queue to use these. Some of the toilet door locks were very stiff - thought I was going to get stuck in them a few times.

The shop/check-in felt understaffed at times but this could be due to it being a busy weekend.

Parking for the woodland pitches was over crowded and not clearly marked, making parking difficult at busy times.

Some of the woodland pitches were difficult to access (eg steep slopes, uneven paths) - something to consider if you have access issues.

Liked The setting is stunning with access to walking/riding trails straight from the site. The access to the site was easy to navigate, the owner/staff are very friendly, the facilities are clean and functional, there is a little shop for essentials including fire pits & wood and the site has a quirky/charming layout including bar/pizza area. I wish I had booked further in advance to book a woodland pitch...they looked ideal.

Disliked The bank holiday weekend proved that the toilet/shower facilities are rather limited and the site could do with a secondary toilet/shower block for the field-campers at the bottom of the hill (it's quite a walk and seemed busy). A composting toilet was provided, however filled up quickly.
Also, not really a dislike but worth mentioning some of the gates are quite tight and awkward so be warned if you arrive in a large van.

Liked The meadow was beautiful and well kept, lots of space so plenty of room to pitch and surrounded by pretty trees and hills. You can walk straight down to the estuary from your tent down a beautiful forest track and plenty of other tracks to go from there too. There are benches dotted around the walking track next to the water etc if you want to take a picnic, walked past lots of forest pitches with amazing views which will have to try next time. The campsite was nice and calm and quiet. The bar area is lovely and cosy and theres plenty of board games/playing cards to choose from and they provide blankets you can use, dog treats and dog water bowls.

There’s a shop on site with essentials and snacks/drinks and midgie repellant/nets (which was definitely needed). Toilets and showers are very clean and warm.

The best thing about Cefn Coed was the staff, they were all so friendly and helpful and the whole place has such a lovely family vibe. (Also the breakfast muffin from the food truck!)

Disliked Nothing apart from the midgies!! The onsite shop does provide nets and repellant etc but definitely go prepared as we were not and got overrun by midgies.

Also if you want to be close to the toilets would advise requesting a closer pitch as the meadow is about a 4/5 min walk to the toilets and showers

Liked Loved it, real back to nature site. Found trails that were really isolated and perfect for that recharge you sometimes need in life.

Disliked Genuinely can’t think of any real negatives. Just one thing, they charged me £1.50 for a lighter I needed to start my fire pit, thought they could have just lent me one!

Liked Loved the whole vibe of the place.

Liked Lovely campsite - very peaceful and unique with it's woodland setting. We also appreciated how social it was - the communal bar area with food and drinks available to buy is a fab new addition to the site that we weren't expecting. Plus a great location right on the mawddach trail meant we were able to hike right from the campsite. We'll be back!

Disliked Quite small toilet and shower block for the size of the campsite - plus it was a little walk up the hill from the field camping. Not really a big deal for us but might be tricky with young children/if you're less mobile/need to use the bathroom during the night!

Liked Lovely variety of spacious, flat pitches, great local walks (both hilly challenges and flat walks to towns), loads of wildlife! (The dawn chorus here is incredible). The facilities and showers are amazing as well.

Liked Brilliant spot if you want to experience wild camping but with some facilities with it. Went with a few friends and we had a great time. Picked the riverside pitch which took some endurance to get your stuff up and down in the wheelbarrows but well worth it. Couldn’t ask for a better location in our opinion…exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of hikes and walks to do around the area. One last thing….Richard was an absolute diamond of a bloke. Really helpful and just a pleasure to talk to

Liked The location is stunning, with a wide range of Forest Pitches+ excellent amenities- the showers are especially nice.
It was delightful to see all the animals around the area and walking through the woodlands is gorgeous and secluded, our pitch felt very private.
The hosts are very friendly and gave us some excellent recommendations for walks in the area and they responded quickly to help with any queries.
