Non-electric grass and earth tent pitch (small, two person)
Liked: Peaceful. Clean toilets. Fire pit fire was great. Friendly hosts.
Disliked: Walk was definitely more than 10-15 minutes. Wasn’t stated that the route was a steep incline. I’m a very fit person and I did the walk route in 13 mins with no luggage or pack, running some of the way and on the way back down, not up! I really think this should be specified for people who aren’t good walkers. Route needs to be better sign posted. Taking your rubbish with you when there’s no vehicle access isn’t ideal. Ground is too rocky for pegs to go fully into the ground.

From the manager: Having chosen to leave your previous campsite early due to problems you encountered with it, we are very disappointed and apologise that we were not a completely successful last-minute alternative for you. We are sorry you feel we fell below the high standards we strive to achieve as a small, family-run campsite and regret that you felt the route-out was longer than described. We send out comprehensive directions but believe that you must have run a longer route, as you did on arrival, as this is not a problem we have experienced before; especially with "Pitch and Hike", as the name indicates, mainly being aimed at Snowdonia hikers and cyclists. We also have not encountered the peg problem before so we can only apologise for the difficult time you had. Unfortunately being located in the very heart of Snowdonia (Eryri) National Park it is naturally hilly and signage on public footpaths is not permitted. We work very hard to provide a friendly, unique, close to wild, camping experience with high standards, following the "leave no trace" code of practice.
