Hafod Hall Camping Club

Great place for two lakes bike ride, next to trail. Had a great camp fire and pitch up in a hidden spot. Would go again

Location of site was excellent, staff were very welcoming and friendly

Hafod hall have been restricted by the government to reduce pitching sites from 650acres to one small field for all guests which we found to be detrimental to our experience we desired and expected as we had to pitch at a specific location (no wind breaker and was bitter and unpleasant after dark) and were surrounded by a large volume of other guests closely situated to us and it felt like a small roudy festival

Campfire and views

Litter

Open space and the feeling of privacy with your own pitch, fantastic views if you're on the top of the hill.

Great relaxed site.
Friendly and chilled
We stayed in a pod for the first time which was lucky as the weather was pretty bad.
Would like to return to camp another time in wild camping area.

The staff were really attentive and friendly from the minute we arrived. We were shown the site and told we could pitch up wherever we liked, and opted for the top with amazing views over the mountains.

Friendly greeting

Location

Not suitable if you have a large tent (6 man). We got told on arrival where to go for the tent pitches and the man showing us around (not sure of his name) led us to the entrance of the tent pitches and told us to walk up the hill to the woodlands. So we had to find a suitable pitch for our 6 man tent which was rather difficult and was out of the way from the toilets (5-10 min walk). This was a walk through mud and stones and as it had been raining was extremely dangerous and I fell over and cut my leg, which was not ideal as we had to cart all our belongings up and down a steep hill through mud and stones.

Very deceiving photos - the photos show a big field which seems to be non existent as we were only told on arrival about the woodlands.

Price - paying £48 for 2 nights for this campsite was extortionate. We only ended up staying 1 night as it was not as expected.

Car park - at first we parked at reception when we were unloading our belongings (this took about 1 hour 30 mins and we had to make 4 trips as our pitch was so far away, due to none being big enough for our 6 man tent). We then had to move our car to the car park on the other side of the camp at the bottom of a hill when we had finished unloading. This was another walk through mud and pot holes. Maybe this should be included on the description of the site?

Damaged car - as we were exiting the campsite to return home, the car got damaged due to the amount of pot holes in the road to the site! (I'm aware from previous reviews that this is an ongoing problem in Wales but there were a fairly large amount which as I stated, damaged our car.)

Rubbish left around - near our pitch there was belongings left from previous owners; a mug, cooking pan and a bottle (which looked like wee).

Previous reviews goes to show management don’t like the negative feedback and always respond with “you chose the wrong campsite”. Maybe if the photos shown the actual woodlands where we was told to go, we definitely would not have chose this site, mainly due to having to walk up and down the mud carrying all our belongings which was again not stated. As all other campsites including the previous “wild camping” experience we were allowed to park next to the pitch to unload then move the car away from the pitch. This should’ve been on the description.

We have previously experienced “wild camping” but this was nothing compared to last time on another site. Maybe if there was maintained paths to help campers walk up and down carrying their belongings would be beneficial. Also, having pictures of the “woodlands”, where we were told to go, instead of the big field on the pictures, would have made our decision to visit this campsite very different.

DONT visit this site if you have mobility issues as walking up and down steep paths through mud would not be safe.

The remote location and friendly staff.

A very wild camping spot. Very nice if you camp in the woods. The hosts were very nice and showed us the way and some camping spots. We would definitely come back again!

No signal so no wifi or calls. I personally liked this but maybe other people will find this info useful.

Liked everything really, perfect campsite for a real wilderness camping experience, staff were lovely, scenery was amazing, facilities were well maintained.
Couldn't recommend it enough
