Ffosygrafel Isaf Camping

A aimé Absolutely brilliant. Stunning views and lots of space. The toilets, showers annd other facilities are great. Very well set up and lots of thoughtful little details. You can see the love and care that has been poured into everything.
It’s a special and magical place. We will definitely return and hope to stay longer next time.

A aimé We had a lovely stay at Ffosygrafel Isaf, its a beautiful and peaceful campsite tucked away in the hills. The campsite was easy to find with good directions from the owners and signs on the lanes leading up to the campsite. We were met onsite by Ruth who directed us to our pitch, its a small site but even with the other two camper pitches being occupied, it didn't feel busy at all. The compost loos were very clean and even though we stayed during a heatwave, they really didn't smell bad!! The whole campsite is very cute and has been very thoughtfully laid out with so many natural elements throughout - we loved seeing the bats in the evenings and got lucky enough to see a barn owl too. We would love to stay again, and would absolutely recommend staying here if you're in the area!

A aimé Loved the quietness. Was looking for rural quiet campsite to get away from it all and this site was fantastic. The ospreys flying over camp were breathtaking and the campsite served as a good base for exploring this region of Wales. Aberystwyth and Borth beach a short drive away for water activities.

N'a pas aimé Nothing to dislike. Camped here during the june heatwave and did not have any issues with water access. Showers were great.
Mobile reception not very good but not important to us on a camping holiday.

A aimé Bank holiday weekend away camping, great site. Loved how the pitches are pre set so not all cramped together. Great for getting away from daily life. There is little to no service on the site but there is a ‘phone bench’. But this was perfect for us to disconnect from the world.
The compost loo was fantastic, love the eco friendliness! Didn’t smell no flys and was always clean. The thermoshowers were great, we much preferred it to our home shower!

A aimé 1. A really nicely located, quiet, simple campsite with the benefit of a communal ‘hobbit house’ lounge/cooking hut which would be particularly great if rainy weather.
2. Price (£12.50 I think / 1 person with tent / night) was good.
3. Friendly owner lives in house on site.
4. Free solar showers worked well on hot sunny days. Not sure how good they would be on less summery days.
5. Good space between tent pitches.
6. Level large flat tent pitches with sloping ground between.
7. Nice fire pit with benches round.
8. Free electric sockets in communal ‘hobbit hut’ space very useful for hair dryer and phone charger.
9. Good sign posts from roads help find the site in quite a rural area.

N'a pas aimé A few suggestions / comments from an experienced traveler and camper to try to help further improve the site, which is already nice (not criticisms):
1. Install proper flush toilets. The compost toilets are just nasty, stinky and fly-ridden. Not nice nor necessary.
2. Washing facilities poor. Maybe some cubicles with wash basins would nice that were not in with the stinking compost toilets.
3. More hooks and shelves in the showers needed for clothes, towel, and soap/shampoo etc.
4. A picnic bench on each camping plot and more in common areas too.
5. Install wifi - modern communication is necessary for most people, and those who actively don’t want it don’t have to log on.
6. The sharp corner exit from the campers car park to the access track is very tight, maybe change this to avoid risk of scratches to car.
7. Try to enforce campervans not having TV on loud or music playing loudly.
8. Stinking compost toilets next to communal firepit rather spoils its use.
9. Put a large communal dining table and benches/chairs in the ‘hobbit hut’.
10. The neighbour land owner produces amazing vegetables commercially so maybe have a ‘honesty cupboard/fridge’ in the hobbit hut where some could be bought. Maybe other local produce too.
11. For the fire pit, a small restocked daily stack of free logs would be nice and encourage its use. Also it is positioned in a spot with no view. Maybe relocate up the hill to get good views from it and also further from camping area to avoid sparks damaging tents.
