North Wales Bell Tents

Likte: Campsite was in a lovely location next to the river.

Likte ikke: Quite hard to find, no signs at the entrance. Toilets were gross.

Likte: The location of this little campsite is fabulous, right on the bank of the River Dee, making it ideal for wild swimmers and those with kayaks or paddle boards. I also really like how laid back and relaxed the site is and it's just a short drive from central Llandudno and very close to Horseshoe Falls.

It's definitely a rustic campsite with more of a wild camping feel and you'll need to take your own water and I'd recommend taking your own camp loo too.

Likte ikke: Bank holiday weekend meant the site was quite full (but not overcrowded) however, I ended up choosing a space beside a large group who were extremely loud.

The site owners were lovely, and although I didn't complain, they did offer to help me move my tent, but being already fully set up and on my own, even with help, I didn't want the hassle of having to move and set up again and opted to stay where I was, which was probably a mistake.

As an old acid house raver, I'm used to banging tunes, but the tedious bass of what felt like constant speed house music, shouting, screaming and hours spent with a car engine idly, really did ruin any hope of peace or tranquility I had for the 4 days and I did strongly consider leaving early.

I literally had to keep earplugs in the entire time to allow myself any hope of zoning out and relaxing, though being beside a river, I'd anticipated listening to the river and sounds of nature, which for me personally, is the whole reason I camp.

I totally understand groups will be noisy in the evening after a few drinks, but surely past 10pm or 11pm it's just common courtesy to turn the music and speech volume down? Likewise, for families with kids, allowing them to yell at full volume at 7am when a whisper or lowered voice is more appropriate, is nothing short of selfish and extremely poor camping etiquette.

I do want to point out that the downsides were all based on antisocial noise levels, not the site itself, so I would definitely return again, I'd just ensure it wasn't during the school holidays or the main summer season.

Perhaps it would be worthwhile having some noise rules in place for after 11pm or even designating one of the fields for noisy families and groups and the second as a quieter zone to help appeal to more campers and ensure people get more of the camping experience they're looking for?

Likte: Absolutely loved our stay, had such a relaxing time. There was a slight issue on site with a bunch of rowdy campers who were together but the owners sorted it out very quickly and reassured our family that everything was OK, they refunded us for the night that was disrupted and let us stay an extra night for free. We will be definitely coming back to this site very soon! This was our first time camping as a family and it couldn't of been better!

Likte: Second visit to this campsite, brilliant location, great people that run the sight, it’s a no fuss campsite which is what I enjoy most, but if you want to go the extra you can book into a bell tent and they will cater for you. Will be returning for a third time!

Likte ikke: Shame about the toilet or shower situation but we already knew that going in. And it didn’t stop me booked a second visit

Likte: Loved the location of this site! Right on the river bank, fantastic for the kids (age9and6) to play. Very friendly hosts, chopped logs for me and gave me wheelbarrow to transport back to my tent, the kids loved that! Fantastic location, close to local attractions. Will definitely come back to stay again 🙂
