Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: Cwmsoar was a lovely spot for the night, lovely views around and horses in the opposite field which my daughter enjoyed. The toilets were clean and there were fire pits and logs available to rent. The gate is locked overnight so the site is secure. Sue met us on arrival and seemed very friendly. There is a handy information sheet with directions to the lake and local pubs/shops etc. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Disliked: A rubbish bin could have been handy but we didn't mind taking ours home. To walk to the lake requires walking down the lane a short way which is not necessarily a fault but some cars came along quite fast and it was a bit hairy with my daughter and my dog.
