Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked This was our first time camping with our 3 and 6 year old boys and dog.
Facilities were very clean and more than we expected. Never any wait to use the toilets or showers. The campsite bake their own pizza’s on Friday night which were delicious! Plenty of space for the children to play and stay safe. Site owner came at least twice a day to clean facilities and check that everyone was ok. Log fire pits available to hire which was a nice touch. Only a few minutes walk into Llys y Fran itself. We really enjoyed and would definitely return.

Liked Lovely, small campsite with spotlessly clean facilities. Very peaceful location. Children loved the playground especially the swing. Pizza night was a nice and delicious surprise. Yes, there are only two showers and two toilets but we didn't have any issues with that.

Powered grass campsite
Liked We absolutely loved our stay here. The welcome and hospitality was brilliant and our young children had the best time exploring and playing in the park. The location was great- we had already planned to have various day trips around the coast- from St Davids up to New Quay- so Llys-Y-Fran was perfectly placed for this. Facilities and space were great- always clean and plenty of room. A very memorable holiday, would definitely recommend and go back. No negative points to raise.

Liked Pleasant location, host Rachel very friendly and accommodating. Clean facilities with well stocked honesty shop. Well maintained grounds. Great kids play area. Great proximity to reservoir activity centre. Stay here if you like water sports or biking!
Amazing fresh pizza on Friday night too!
Lovely and peaceful in the main, amazing sunsets and starscape at night.
Disliked Only 2 toilets and 2 showers so get in there quick for morning and evening routines! Also only one washing up sink for the entire campsite so some waiting. Toilets and showers have small doors so I was eyeballing passers by while getting dressed and the gap at the bottom didn't fill me with confidence. Gaps in the timbers and open tops and sides meant zero privacy from others "activities"!
Hard to remedy but the majority of the site is on a slight slope. Not much of an issue other than little one kept rolling off her mattress every night!
On the last evening a huge group (between 20 and 30 Inc kids) turned up and took over the campsite. Kids screaming until half nine at night, riding bikes and shouting past other tents...and the adults singing shouting and playing music until half eleven at least (I had to let them know that one of their kids was screaming for mummy at about half ten- they couldn't hear him).
Then in the morning around half seven they began tidying up clinking beer bottles etc. Glad it was our last night and leaving in the morning to be honest. It would be nice if the quiet hours were enforced more strictly.

From the manager: Sorry to hear this, I wasn't aware of any noise disturbance. I always try my best to ensure that our guests have a pleasant stay, it is unusual for guests to be up late at night. It is always useful to know of any problems at the time so I can deal with them.

Buttercup Dreams bell tent
Liked What an amazing campsite! Beautifully located, beautifully designed and thought out and well just beautiful. We had a lovely 3 day stay in the Bell tent on site, which had a handy undercover shelter leaving more room inside the already amble sized tent, we are a family of 5 and it comfortably took 3 double mattresses with lots of space left over. The campsite had a brilliant park, football pitch and swing for the kids, as well as clean modern and again beautifully decorated showers, toilets and sinks. The charging boxes are a brilliant idea also! The lovely host kept us updated before arriving with lots of handy tips on the area and campsite itself aswell as being available via text when onsite if you wished to order logs or had any queries. Nothing seemed to much and we felt welcomed on the campsite. Thank you for a lovely stay, we will be back!

Lovely site, clean, good facilities and owners always on hand.
Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite
Liked The location is great next to the lakes and in a beautiful part of the world. Electric available to charge phones. Loved the peaceful surroundings and freedom of the field to pitch,where you are not on top of each other.
Disliked The only thing I could honestly say is there probably needs to be another block for toilet/ shower and washing up. If the site got busy then it could cause a problem but for our stay it was all good.

From the manager: Thank you, our pitch numbers are small so we don't have a problem with the site getting very busy. We love the small, safe, family friendly feel to it.
Great family site with around a dozen pitches
Buttercup Dreams bell tent
Liked A great little family run site in a really tranquil spot near to Llys y Fran reservoir. We stayed in the site’s bell tent, which we and our children loved. The facilities are spot on. There’s a fridge freezer, device charging lockers, hot water for washing up, showers, toilets, a waste disposal point plus a little honesty shop for marshmallows, biscuits etc. would definitely recommend! No wifi but 4g running at about 8mbps on EE so no issues there.
Disliked Nothing… everything was spot on!
