Great spot for exploring the estuary and local spots in Snowdonia
Oak Woodland non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked The set-up and staff were great. This place has centrally located facilities and a bar!
Billy was great and always around if you needed. The plots are also well set-out. We got Smugglers path which is ideal for a bit more seclusion.
Disliked Would be good to have another drinking/ washing spot fir the tents further down. But not essential.

Oak Woodland non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked My partner and I had a lovely stay here. We chose to stay in one of the woodland pitches which was beautiful, spacious and made a lovely home for few days. We loved hearing the wildlife, especially the owls at night. The facilities were good and always kept clean. The pizza bar which was open on the Saturday night was delicious and kust what we needed after a long day walking. Highly recommend this campsite location wise. We love hiking and there are some amazing footpaths and peaks closeby as well as some easier walks near the estuary.
Disliked We would have liked to have more choice over our pitch as we were in the pitch closest to the entrance to the woodland pitches which meant all the other campers constantly walking by and could see in which was fine it just meant it wasn't as peaceful and private as we might have liked, but when we arrived our pitch jad been pre-allocated.

Wooded non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked The entire site was totally perfect! We had chosen & booked to camp under the trees, to which there was full easy access to our pitch & all facilities were close by. The site manager on our arrival was extremely friendly, happy & gave us all of the information. The site is perfectly positioned for touring the area & very easy to find. We have absolutely loved our break away, will definitely revisit the site & recommend to everyone!

Great campsite 👍🏼
Oak Woodland non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked The pitch was fantastic, lots of space. Great location and the views were absolutely stunning. The staff were exceptional and very helpful when needed.
Disliked During the mornings and afternoon the main road nearby could be heard (just an observation). Not quite as peaceful as we’d hoped, being from the city.

Oak Woodland non-electric forest floor tent pitch
Liked Cracking views, decent sized pitches, friendly staff, provided wheel barrows to carry stuff to and from the car and plenty of good walks to do locally.
Disliked How far the toilets were to the pitch, it wasn’t a bad walk, but from where we were, especially in the dark, it felt long and all up hill. Perhaps a closer toilet or even a porta potty dotted about would be beneficial.

Wooded non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked Absolutely love this place. I was in a roof tent and chose a woodland pitch. I was after a wild ish camping experience and boy did this deliver! Beautiful place and very quiet. No speakers for music allowed which I thought was a good idea. Definitely going back!
Disliked Nothing
