Basecamp Wales

Tyckte om Location at the bike park was fab.
Clean toilets and hot showers and washing up facilities.

Tyckte inte om No visible member of staff around camping area.
Litter left all over the camping field and full bins with rubbish around them.
Cars parked on camping field despite instructions not to.
Fires being set on the ground despite wild fire warnings.
Overall not the most restful night after a day's biking.

Tyckte om Quite camp..
Lovely cafe on site.
Clean facilities

Tyckte inte om On a slope.. to steep to camp comfortably. Lots of camp fire spots so had to avoid the tent going over the burnt ashes.

Tyckte om Very easy to get to from M4. Pre arrival info sent in good time and my only query was answered promptly. All facilities were clean and showers had good pressure and hot water. Hairdryer in the shower block was great. Easy access onto nearby cycle routes.

Tyckte inte om Play off for easy access is that you are parked very close to a main road so expect road noise. The EHU parking looks fairly level however all other overnight parking requires leveling chocks. Suprised to need to pay for showers even though we were booked to stay but erhaps trying to encourage economical water use.

Tyckte om nice and quiet, river close by. Nice walks

Tyckte inte om Although you can find flat spots, it's mostly sloping like in the title.

Tyckte om The place is in the forest.

Tyckte inte om Its a ski slope with no level land. The bathroom is a walk away from the field. The parking was full, so I had to squeeze the car in next to the rubbish bins. Sites like this should be illegal to call tent park, because there are no level pitches, just steep hill.

Tyckte om Beautiful views and very clean toilet facilities. The lady who looked after the toilets and showers was incredibly friendly and did a fantastic job keeping them spotless. There are three hiking trails nearby and plenty of mountain biking trails to explore.

Tyckte inte om The campsite is nothing more than a very steep hillside. Finding a reasonably flat spot to pitch a tent is practically impossible. The field is covered in litter, and the grass is so long that you have to flatten it with your tent. Hidden in the long grass we even found an old abandoned tent, a sleeping bag, and other remains of someone else's campsite.
Next to the small car park designated for the campsite, there are several rubbish bins that clearly hadn't been emptied for a long time, with bags of rubbish piled up around them. During our entire week-long stay, not a single member of staff came to check the campsite, let alone clean or maintain it.
The campsite is located right beside a fairly busy cycle path and is completely unfenced, so anyone can walk in and take whatever they like.
The toilets, however, are the most surprising part. Reaching them involves walking down a very steep hill and then crossing a busy car park, around 500 metres away. The men's toilet is locked overnight, while the women's remains open only because the lock appears to be broken. After making that walk, men are left with no option but to use the bushes.
The toilets are public facilities serving the car park and are not proper campsite facilities. There are no toilets, showers, or any other amenities within a reasonable walking distance of the camping area.
It's a real shame that the campsite owner doesn't mention that this is more like a ski slope than a field suitable for tents, and that the site is not maintained at all. I would not recommend staying here.

Tyckte om For such a low cost I had low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised and will definitely return. The toilets & shower were sparkling 24/7 and I even complimented the cleaner on it. Quiet site, with beautiful views. The bike trails are great, I went with my 10 year old and it kept us occupied.
