Basecamp Wales

Gostou Useful to have toilets close by.
The cleaner was polite.

Não gostou Where to start?
It was a layby.
Not a campsite at all.
No lighting.
No level ground.
No waste disposal facilities for Grey waste
the what 3 words was misused and directed us in to the trees rather than our “pitch”
It was separated from a main road by a bush.
It wasn’t a suitable size for our vehicle if anyone else was there!
Massive potholes on the “hard standing”
Really needs to be advertised more accurately so people don’t get a nasty surprise on arrival.

Gostou Great showers, at bottom of trails and lovely cafe nearby

Não gostou Using what3words for location confusing so just use normal English or Welsh to describe the location

Gostou Absolutely nothing

Não gostou It’s a gravel layby! Couldn’t tie the dog outside , Not a campsite at all.
Needs to be advertised for what it is.
3 electric spaces with 2ft between vans . If you’re not there before 4pm you can’t shower & cafe closed, there’s no bar as advertised .the showers which you have to pay extra for( £1.50 5 mins) in the public loos !
It’s on the side of a busy road.
Total rip off.
We stayed half hour and found a quiet camp spot .
AVOID !

Gostou Excellent location and facilities

Não gostou While I understand the reasons behind locking the toilets after hours, the lockbox should have 2 keys, or a separate lockbox for each toilet block.

Gostou The showers and toilets were exceptionally clean and tidy, they were thoroughly cleaned every morning and the showers were hot and had a good flow. I've seen comments about the road noise but this wasn't a problem through the night. We had 2 great days mountain biking, there's also the S Wales mining museum which was great value as you had an ex miner give you a guided tour all for £3 a head. The cafe was very welcoming when you wanted to refuel after riding a trail.

Não gostou The cafe to be open later.

Gostou Almost level pitch with electric supply close by. Elsan point and drinking water here too. I especially liked how clean the showers and toilets were. I liked the convenience of the café and the proximity to the mountain bike trails and walks.

Não gostou Bit of a noisy road.

Gostou The showers are amazing, but ya need tokens from the cafe that shuts at 4. It was good for a base for a few nights but not a full on holiday break.

Não gostou The lack of grass area around the pitch but plenty around for the dog.
