Basecamp Wales

Ik was blij met: Good clean facilities. Great walks and scenery.
Happy and helpful staff.
Food in the café was really good.
Good WiFi if needed

Ik was niet zo blij met: The tent pitch is on a slope so we had a bit of fun trying to cook, although there are two cooking areas they were being used.

Ik was blij met: Nothing

Ik was niet zo blij met: Just about everything.
Never stayed anywhere like this, no security, totally open to public, only 3 EHU and 2 other vans/motor homes turned up and wild camped either side of us. Should have taken time to read reviews, they are spot on. Booked 3 nights only stayed the 1.

Ik was blij met: Good geographical position

Ik was niet zo blij met: Electric hook up pitches are in the car park- be aware. Site has good facilities otherwise

Ik was blij met: The actual park was as good as any other but not really special or outstanding in any way.
Lady who cleaned the toilets (when open!!) was very helpful and friendly.

Ik was niet zo blij met: PLENTY.

From the minute I called at the cafe to enquire as to where I was to pitch my motorhome, I was met by a male staff member who seemed to wish he was anywhere else but there. He directed me to our ‘pitch’ which was basically the gravel car park which is actually out of shot in their photos (I can’t think why - other than the fact it slopes in two directions!!)
When we booked the website said they only had 1 non electric hardstanding ‘pitch’ available, but whilst we were there we were the only ones, I can only assume the others had done what we should have done, and gone home. It was only the glorious weather and the fact we’d planned a barbecue that encouraged us to stay.
The car park (it should never be called a motorhome pitch!!) had no security at all and was approximately 40 m from the main road which was not as busy as we expected through the night.
We were extremely disappointed and would never return to what they jokingly call a motorhome pitch/campsite - we may as well have been in a supermarket car park.
I’m sure that the country park and cycle paths (one of which we used) are lovely, but to suggest this is a motorhome site is an absolute joke.


STEER CLEAR.

Ik was blij met: Convenience, price, cafe, toilet block

Ik was niet zo blij met: Difficult to say, as other reviews say, we stayed on the electric pitch which was just gravel. Pitching our campervan side tent was not really possible, and it is by a road/carpark. Not really a sit outside the van, cook food and enjoy the view sort of site. That said it was not overly noisy and clean. Suited us fine
