Liked: The pitches are behind a locked gate, so it is more secure. The scenery is amazing with a river flowing through the site. You can pitch your vehicle/tent wherever you like within the site. It is located in a lovely area and not hard to find and great for exploring. Almost like wild camping with two flushing toilets but nothing else. Apart from on arrival i didn't see the owners personally.
Disliked: It is a sheep farm with animals sharing the fields with you so if you don't like sheep this is not for you! Not much cleaning of facilities although the toilet was clean the sinks weren't. Doesn't look like the showers will be built anytime soon.

From the manager: Hi glad you enjoyed the scenery I’m sorry I missed you . I walk round the campsite daily to link up with campers and have a chat, The toilets and sinks are cleaned daily, it is important to us to keep to a cleanly standard. Sorry you found the sinks below the proper level We’re working on the shower s, the delay is caused by the poor weather over winter and spring Meanwhile there’s a warm water cubicle in the women’s toilets where women can have a private wash
Very clean natural site perfect for walks

Liked: Sound of river running through the site was peaceful. Great location for Betws, Llanrwst, Conway etc. Tent pitches seemed pretty level, and there was also a wooded, craggy area in the centre of the site where my 8 year old boy had a whale of a time playing.
Disliked: Not the site's fault but the midges were unbelievable. The ground was also incredibly wet and boggy. During such a wet season, perhaps having designated parking would be a good idea. Having sheep around was a novelty, but didn't appreciate sheep poo everywhere, particularly without a warm water facility to wash hands in.

From the manager: Sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay. The. weather conditions over Bank Holiday were awful, that can’t have helped The valley is so much more attractive when the sun is shining
