Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The views on the drive to the camp. The sheep and cows on the camp.
Disliked: Had I not driven so far with two excited children I'd have turned around and driven home. The facilities on site were dirty, smelly and broken . No toilet paper provided even though toilet paper holders were present. The floors were dirty. The bin was overflowing . There were old storage heaters in the ladies. Broken toilet seats. A step ladder actually IN one of the showers. The facilities for washing up had rubbish laying around in bags and boxes that weren't removed In the two nights we stayed. There were no bins down on the camping field. When we arrived there was no1 around so had to call... to be told to wait by the toilet blocks and she would be down after she arrived back from town to check on us. We waited 25 minutes before I text her to ask if we were allowed to pitch up... by this time it was raining and dark. Myself and two young tired children. We did not see the owners at all during our stay, even though I had asked about a fire pit the male owner (on the phone and rudely) said no outright and the female said she would sort it when she came to check on us (this never happened). We ended up buying our own. We weren't ever checked on to see if everything was ok ... considering we were the only people there that weekend. Considering we were the ONLY people booked in that weekend I would have at least expected the facilities to be clean and functional.

Liked: This campsite was nice and peaceful and not too busy. It was easy enough to get into town for a bite to eat and just a 40 minute drive from Aberystwyth. The owners were really friendly and very helpful. We had a little stream next to our pitch which was so relaxing to wake up to!
Disliked: I don't think our neighbours on the first night paid any attention to the 10.30pm-9am quiet hours which was a little annoying but that wasn't the site's fault. Just drunk people being drunk people! There was no soap in the bathrooms either

Liked: Beautiful place with breathtaking views, the campsite is clean and well maintained ( just the showers that could probably do with a bit of updating but still useable) the people that run the campsite are lovely, my car broke down and they couldn't do enough for me to help me everyday that they could!!! The kids loved being able to be run about, make new friends and getting back to nature with campfires, river hunting and playing with kites, rolling down the hills, we've made some lovely memories and will definitely return again!

Liked: Fabulous! Henry is always so welcoming and helpful ☺️ and the campsite is in such a wonderful location close to the town but you feel in the middle of nowhere! Despite the weather we had a wonder 3 nights as a family of 5 ! Can't wait to come back next year.

Liked: We booked for one night about 30 mins before arriving, having hiked all day in the area in the rain. We were welcomed by a very friendly Campsite man (sorry! we were so tired and cold by that time that I forget his name), and we were able to get an almost flat pitch right by the toilet and shower block. The view over the valley is incredible, and the pitch was very affordable.
Disliked: Would have been great if the toilet and shower block was a bit cleaner.

Liked: Location and facilities are good
Disliked: The only one disliked is, I was supposed to give fire pit which is included when booked. But when I was to the pitch I was charged for it which is not good.

Liked: EVERYTHING!! This is our third time here and we all absolutely love it. The views are spectacular, the owners are warm, welcoming and friendly. The facilities are clean and tidy, the showers are warm and washing up facilities the water is warm. The weather wasn’t on our side but we had a great phone signal to link to our personal hotspot and was able to watch movies and relax.
Disliked: Nothing at all
