Понравилось Excellent field, plenty of space to camp, no noise by 11.30 so got good sleep, location is amazing, 5 minutes from Rhosneiger and other lovely beaches

Не понравилось Long wait times on food vans, drinks and morning coffee's (over an hour). Just needed more options to cope with the large demand. Cold showers were fine but hot would have been preferred

От менеджера: Hello and thank you for taking the time to reflect and write us a review. We appreciate your feedback.

So happy to hear you had a lovely time and got a great sleep. We do pride ourselves in capping our capacity to ensure that guests have that roomy feel when camping. The views are outstanding and we are super happy to hear you enjoyed them

In terms of the food vans and bar etc with waiting times. Thank you for your feedback regarding this. The demand for each changes every week, depending if guests bring their own food or not. Being a campsite in which people bring their own food and drink we have to take this into consideration with the number of vendors at the site.

The bar team work very very hard in ensuring wait times are not too long, similar to that of a busy club or festival, and given that our cocktails are extremely popular, they do take a little longer to make than the standard spirit and mix or pouring a pint. But apologies if your wait time disrupted your evening.

With the coffee our sincere apologies that you had such a long wait. We have never had a wait time before of over an hour. In terms of meeting the demand of the coffee, which is a new venture for us this season and it only really being popular in the past few weeks, we have now purchased more equipment to meet demand which we are excited to trial this weekend coming. At Camp Bongo we pride ourselves on guest and team feedback and do our upmost to make the relevant changes where needed.

In terms of the cold water showers, being a pop up campsite and not being allowed the structural requirements to install plumbing, hot water showers at this moment is not yet possible. We are however looking at ways to provide hot water without structural changes that pop up campsites are just not allowed.

We hope to welcome you back to Camp Bongo in the future and thank you again for your feedback

Не понравилось Compost toilets were very smelly and only had an option of a cold shower

От менеджера: Hello,

Thank you for your review and for taking the time to share your thoughts.

We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time at Camp Bongo, particularly the entertainment, food, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere created by our team. They work incredibly hard to deliver a unique and memorable experience, and your kind words will mean a lot to them.

Regarding your comments about the composting toilets — we understand that they can be unfamiliar to some guests, especially those more accustomed to traditional plumbed-in facilities. However, as a pop-up campsite with a focus on sustainability and minimal environmental impact, composting toilets are the most responsible and viable option for us. They’re also a significant upgrade from the standard chemical porta-loos you’d typically find at large events or festivals.

Our team maintains the toilets with care — they’re cleaned frequently, stocked regularly, and topped up with sawdust throughout the day. The sawdust plays a key role in minimizing odours and aiding the composting process. We do provide clear instructions on how to use them, but unfortunately, when guests don’t follow these steps (such as skipping the sawdust "flush"), it can lead to occasional issues — which seems to have been the case during your visit. For that, we sincerely apologize.

We're continuously looking for ways to improve guest comfort, including exploring non-invasive ways to offer hot water facilities within the limits of our site’s infrastructure. We also encourage all guests to come speak to us directly if something isn’t right — we’re always here to help and quick to respond.

Thanks again for your feedback. We’re glad you had a great experience overall, and we hope to welcome you back to Camp Bongo in the future.

Warm regards,
The Camp Bongo Team

От менеджера: Hi there,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review — we’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed your experience at Camp Bongo.

It’s great to know the adults-only setting, peaceful quiet time, and our much-loved morning pastries all helped make your stay memorable. We’ve designed Camp Bongo to be a place where guests can truly relax and unwind, so it’s lovely to hear that those aspects stood out for you.

Regarding your comments about the composting toilets — we completely understand that they’re a different experience to standard plumbed-in facilities. As a temporary, off-grid site, compost loos are the most sustainable and practical solution available to us. We also find they provide a cleaner, more environmentally friendly alternative to the typical plastic porta-loos used at many festivals and events.

Our team takes great pride in maintaining the toilets to a high standard — they’re cleaned and checked regularly, and we provide clear instructions to help guests feel confident using them. We know this can be a new concept for some, and we always appreciate feedback that helps us improve.

We’re also actively working on ways to enhance guest comfort even further, including exploring non-intrusive solutions for hot water — all while respecting the natural landscape we operate on.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Camp Bongo in the future.

Best wishes
The Camp Bongo Team

Понравилось Had an amazing time, so close to a lovely small quiet beach, on site facilities were great, very social and fun atmosphere with the live music and food trucks

От менеджера: Hi there,

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you had an amazing time at Camp Bongo and that you enjoyed the peaceful beach nearby — it’s definitely one of our favourite local gems.

It’s great to know the on-site facilities, live music, and food trucks helped create the fun and social atmosphere we aim for. We put a lot of thought into building a space where people can unwind, connect, and enjoy the little things — so it means a lot to hear that came through in your experience.

We hope to welcome you back again soon for more beachside chill, good vibes, and tasty bites!

Warm regards,
The Camp Bongo Team

Понравилось Great vibe, good location to the beach, the staffs are so helpful and friendly. Huge field so I didn’t feel crammed even there were so many campers. The band was nice too.

Не понравилось The toilet was a little high as I’m small I struggled a bit. Toilet papers were out after the night. Washing area is limited for all these campers.

От менеджера: Hello,

Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the vibe, the beachside location, the live music, and the spacious layout — and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to our team, who always go the extra mile to help.

We really appreciate your feedback on the facilities. The toilets are composting units, and while they’re eco-friendly, we know they’re not always one-size-fits-all. We are in the process of installing urinals which will definitely help.

Our team checks and restocks the toilets every 2–3 hours — if toilet roll runs out, it’s usually just before a scheduled clean, or in this case possibly during the night especially with this weekend being unexpectedly our busiest weekend we have ever had. We will definitely take your feedback onboard and look into providing more loo rolls for during the night.

Thank you again for your helpful comments, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better stay next time!

Warm regards,
The Camp Bongo Team

Понравилось The staff on site were so kind and friendly. The vibes were amazing, on the evening the live music, cocktail van and pizza van were perfect. The views to watch the sunset was the icing on the cake.

The toilets were clean and didn’t really smell too much. Only downside was in the morning, there was no loo roll but I found the box behind them with loads in to restock. The cold water showers were freezing but perfect after spending all day in the sun on the beach.

The beach was a 5 minute walk down the track and just down the main road. Didn’t have toilets but did have a tin van selling drinks and ice creams. We did the kayaking on the beach too!

От менеджера: Hey Ashlee,

Thanks so much for your review and for joining us at Camp Bongo! We're really glad to hear you had a good time overall and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear about the toilet roll issue — we completely understand how that can be frustrating. Just to clarify, our toilet facilities are cleaned and checked every 2 to 3 hours throughout the day, with the team starting 8:30 am to clean and restock. If there was a shortage, it likely happened just before a scheduled clean, and we do our best to stay on top of it, especially during busy periods.

This particular weekend was the busiest we've ever had at Camp Bongo, and while we're thrilled so many people came to enjoy the space, it definitely put extra pressure on facilities. We’re already making plans to scale up support during peak weekends going forward and scale down the number or pitches.

Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve, and we hope to welcome you back soon for an even smoother experience!

Warm wishes,
The Camp Bongo Team
