What customers say
Beautiful, remote site with stunning scenery & lake access. Friendly owners, clean facilities, fire pits provided. Narrow roads can be tricky; restrooms may get crowded.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Great site in a beautiful location.
Camping pod
Liked I very much enjoyed my stay at Hideaway in the Hills. A superb location, one of the most beautiful valleys in Britain IMHO. The site was peaceful. The pod was great, very cute. The facilities were clean.
Disliked Midges.

What an excellent, out of the way place to camp.
Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Each pitch has its own picnic table and fire pit, there seemed to be lots of space between pitches but as we were the only ones there it was hard to tell. The owner was lovely, she chatted with us for a while. The facilities were clean.
There is even a shepherds hut that can be hired
Disliked Nothing on this visit

All the facilities you need with a wild camping feel to it and space.
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Spacious pitches and very peaceful. Facilities basic but always clean and never needed to wait to use anything. If you want to feel away from it all this is perfect. Owner very welcoming and helped us plan our days. Need a car to get to town or shops but if take a bike like we did you can cycle. Brilliant location for cycling as lanes around the site pretty much traffic free. WiFi works really well on the site too.

Primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The most beautifull camping we visited in Wales and maybe in all of Europe. When you set next to the small lake there are no sounds but the wind and the animals. We were there in the last days of september, the only people camping. And the solitude is just what we wanted and needed as two city people. The road to the campiste is a bit of an adventure but thats what we wanted :)
Einier, the owner, is very friendly and helpfull, and funny too :) We had nice chats every day and she works very hard to keep the whole place running by herself.
You can start hiking right from the camping itself. But within an hour you are in the sourt or noth of Snowdonia. So a perfect place to explore the region. Although google doesnt show it there is a small shop in Langbedr, down the hill, which has everything. Open till 9 with cold beers :) Also three nice pubs with decent food in the village.
If you want to feel away from it all this is the place to go!
Disliked A lady on the campsite complaining the camping was to isolated and giving Einier a bad feeling over it, like she could anything about it. Dont be dumb, read the description. If solitude is not your thing go somewhere else. (still within the village in ten minutes)

Never again!
Camping pod
Liked Scenic drive to the site.
Disliked Everything. The facilities were filthy. The pod we booked was dirty and damp. No walk leaflets available as advertised. No information on drinking water. The owner was unwelcoming and just pointed to the pod. The bbq/fire pit was in a state of disrepair. Remnants of a campfire immediately in front of pod peppered with cigarette ends. Fridge was broken and dirty. Left after a couple of hours as campsite not fit for purpose. We asked for refund but was denied.

A treasure of a site. Perfect.
Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked Beautiful location with great views. We loved our pitch and the picnic bench and fire pit provided was really appreciated. Facilities were clean and enough for what we needed. Our children loved playing in the forest on the swings. Phone signal was poor but we really appreciated the free WiFi. We would have loved to go on the canoe but unfortunately the weather wasn’t great for us. Next time!
Disliked The road to the site is really narrow. It’s not put us off but it was snug in our campervan.

Powered grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked A beautiful, peaceful campsite! 🌿 The campfire evenings were unforgettable, and the stargazing spot was magical — the night sky was crystal clear. Perfect for anyone looking to relax and connect with nature. Our child enjoyed playing hide and seek in the nature with other children, something kids can't do in towns.
