What customers say
Beautiful, quiet site with stunning views. Owners are friendly & helpful. Showers/toilets are very clean. Great for walking, cycling, and visiting towns like Barmouth. Some sloped pitches, but overall peaceful and excellent value.

Top top site !
Primitive grass and earth campervan campsite (small)
Liked Absolutely brilliant site. We parked (camper van + 2 dogs, at the bottom of the site and had lovely views through to the estuary. Couple of chocks sorted the slope. Wasn’t a problem at all.
The showers, toilets and kitchen area were all super clean - best we’ve experienced!. The site is tucked away and was so quiet. Brilliant location.
Barmouth is only 2miles away, Bethan gave directions and was very helpful. Really lovely walk on pony / foot trek paths, across the pedestrian bridge into Barmouth.
Disliked Nothing!

Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked Place is scenic, facilities clean, and the location is ideal for exploring sea and hills, then getting a good sleep. Shower is hot and good pressure, lots of space to leave your dry things dry.
Disliked Do remember to bring a coin for the shower. We got change from the local pub so no drama if you don't.
