Liked: Thoroughly enjoyed our time, despite the rain. Lots of things to love, but mostly for us it was the location with great walks near by.
Disliked: As per other reviews, it will be great when the other toilets/showers are ready for action.
The site is really well lit all night long. Although I’m sure this would be a real bonus for some people, I prefer my campsites dark!

Liked: Absolutely everything. During our two weeks of traveling around south west England and Wales we stayed at about 10 different sites and Cae Glas camping was by far the best place we stayed. We're considering spending a week down there at some point in the future.
The landlords were extremely welcoming taking the time out of their busy day to help us with any questions we had. We were greeted with smiles and a stunning view of the mountains. There are pigs, goats, donkeys, chickens and alpacas on the farm that we were allowed to go and see and pet whenever we wanted.
The toilets and showers that were there were really clean, well maintained, warm and most importantly there was hot water!
Pizza was amazing a fair price. Bought some really nice jam and chutney too!
We loved it there that much we decided to stay another day during our traveling.
The negative reviews that some people have posted seem absolutely absurd. I can't think of anything negative to say! Definitely worth a stay.
Disliked: The fact that we couldn't stay longer!

Liked: Absolutely perfect spot. The owners were lovely. Lots of animals in the barn which my daughter really enjoyed.
Hired a fire pit for £2.50 which was fab for my little one toasting marshmallows. The toilets and shower room was immaculate and lovely and warm.
Five minute drive from Dan yr Ogof caves, which we were visiting the next day.
Would definitely recommend and would visit again.
Little cafe on site but can’t comment as we didn’t use it.
Thank you - My daughter loved her first camping trip 🏕️
Disliked: Nothing

Liked: Like the farm animals
And the view
Good shower and toilet facilities
Disliked: I pre orderd pizzas but heard of noboboy when contacted
They advertise waterfalls and the nearest river is 4 hour walk a local map would be a great benefit
Their cafe wasn't open as the staff weren't there twice! So couldn't get anything for the kids
There was a alpaca walk and you could only go one way
