Great rustic, basic site, loved being by the river and although the camping field is sloping there are plenty of areas to get a level pitch. The toilet building was fairly spartan but clean. It was quiet when I stayed so there was no problem with queues for the toilet etc. There are fire pits dotted around free to use and logs available from the owners with an honesty box for payment. The river would have been great for a quick swim/wash but there'd been a lot of rain over the couple of days I was there and the river was a bit too wild. During warm weather I reckon it would have been excellent. The owners kept their distance and seemed to leave everyone to enjoy themselves., but were friendly and helpful when needed.

Look out for dog mess on the pitches, obviously not the site owners fault but hard to believe that people still can't manage to clean their own dog's mess up...
I travel light as a motorcycle camper and a washing up sink on site would have been very useful. Not a big problem but would have made things easier. As per the listing there are no showers. Again, not a problem for me- I don't mind washing with wet wipes for a couple of days but if you're staying for a longer period or with kids it could be a problem unless you're brave enough for the river! One last thing, the bridge is wooden and very slippery when wet so if you're on a motorbike be careful.

Great site, basic with facilities but clean and more then adequate. Amazing views from the river bank

The site and area is beautiful. The campsite is set in a valley with a river running through which you can get in for a swim if you wish. There are walks directly from the site, we walked out via the eco field, under the train bridge and from there up to the stunning Llyn Elsi and took a path less travelled from there through the woodlands back down to the site.
Upon arrival there was nobody home at the cottage for us to check in but there was an honesty box for us to pay with plenty of change. We also paid for some logs for a fire this way and helped ourselves. Had a lovely fire that evening and it was nice to see others doing the same as the night came in. You could pretty much have a firepit anywhere on site and I could see scorch marks from people having had them by the river and also in a lovely little patch of rocks and trees in the centre of the site which all must have been a great experience. The owners do ask that you use their pits but we found that it was these causing the scorch marks so we placed rocks inside one and put our small firepit on top to protect the grass. might be a nice idea to provide some slabs for people to put the firepits on.
The toilets worked well, in an old barn, cleaned regularly and always toilet roll and handsoap.
Loved our experience here and would recommend

There is no pot wash in the toilet block, we got on fine heating up our own water to do ours but it is quite helpful to have a sink to wash up. Not a big deal at all and shouldnt put anybody off this is just a preference. I think this tiny issue being all I could find to put in this box says a lot about how much we liked it here.

Lovely quiet farm with lots of open space between campers and minimal facilities, direct access to a river and woodland walks

Beautiful scenery, pitches along the river with fire pits, so quiet and peaceful

The location and atmosphere of the campsite was perfect for what we wanted. Felt homely and welcoming, especailly with the honesty box and fire-pits. Loved the river, was the perfect thing to bathe in after a hot day of walking and felt very connected with the area.

Unspoilt nature of the site - like it used to be! Quiet, simple, yet everything as promised. The barn toilet block was adequate for a necessary wash on a very hot day. Honesty box for fees .

Nothing to do with the site itself - but watch the sat nav, if using, as it wants to send you past the site into the village.

Being able to choose our pitch next to the river. Firepit per pitch and logs nearby to buy. Basic beautiful site. Would swap the setting for facilities any day.

Nothing

We loved the location of this campsite. We were able to sit on the edge of the river with a fire. It had already provided fire pits on site. The facilities were clean and tidy. We had full signal so didn’t need any WiFi.

Didn’t dislike anything
