  • Small, friendly and scenic site set in secluded woodland
  • Just outside the pretty seaside village of Aberdovey
  • On-site walks, lakeside views and a Snowdonia National Park setting
Whatever type of Welsh holiday you want, you'll find Nyth Robin in splendid setting. This small and secluded spot is right inside Snowdonia National Park for days of hiking and sightseeing, and is also only three miles from Aberdovey, the Cardigan Bay seaside village you can use as a base for day trips to Aberystwyth, Aberaeron, New Quay, Barmouth, Pothmadog and the Llŷn Peninsula. The site itself looks pretty good too, in the hills surrounded by large conifers, and in a wildlife haven with resident buzzards and heron. Its secluded setting means it's in prime position for relaxing, but plenty of outdoor pursuits such as sailing, windsurfing and walking are easily accessible in the surrounding area for those who want to be active. The Nyth Robin owners carefully manage everything to keep guest numbers low, in accommodation areas with woodland and lake views, surrounded by plenty of room to roam and relax: let the kids loose to explore the woodland, or take the family (and dog) along the walking trails. Amenities include spotless showers and toilets, a washing-up area and chemical disposal.

Liked: Took a female friend for the weekend- we loved the tranquillity and the natural beauty that the campsite has enhanced! No excessive signage saying what you can and can’t do, just respectful adults respecting a rustic, well managed, beautiful site.

Disliked: The fact I doubt it will ever be free to rebook as it’s such a gem!

Tammie B. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Lower Terrace electric gravel touring pitch

Liked: EVERYTHING!! Lovely site with sectioned off areas and large pitches. We had our camper van with awning and still plenty of space between us and the other visitors. We were surrounded by trees and only 4 pitches on the section we were on. Its a very tranquil spot, beautifully maintained and lots of quirky things to see around the site. If you like Pizza then pizza night is an absolute must and the communal seating area for this is stunning.
Add to all the above the owners are very friendly and welcoming, their love and pride for the place shines through. We had a lovely few days stay and will be returning again.

Disliked: Even the harshest of critic would struggle to find a fault here.
Not really a dislike, the pitches were very hard so strong tent pegs are required if putting down an awning.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Ah thank you Tammie! Great to hear you enjoyed your stay.
The Welsh slate does make it a bit trickier for pegs, but as you say strong pegs and a good hammer usually does the job!

Local attractions

You must get out onto the water in some vessel or other around here, for there's stacks of choice and loads of locations where you can mess around in boats. Aberdovey three miles away is at the mouth of the Dovey river, a popular place for all types of watersports including sailing, windsurfing, yachting, canoeing, paddleboarding, powerboating, kitesurfing and rowing. Dovey Yacht Club and Dovey Rowing Club are in the centre of Aberdovey on the wharf; if you want to give rowing a go, just turn up at the Rowing Club boathouse on the wharf at 10am on a Saturday morning and the members there will be happy to show you the ropes. The Aberdovey harbourmaster is also around for info on the estuary and how to launch and recover your craft if you want to try windsurfing, paddleboarding and canoeing: the long sandy beach is good for launching and recovery, and it’s easy to carry kit from the main car park to the beach. Aberdovey's also a popular base for kitesurfers, who use its beach and large shallow pools to learn to fly their kites, and for sailing in the protected estuary and on the waves of Cardigan Bay. Venturing further afield, Aberdovey is in the centre of Cardigan Bay and so is a nifty base for yacht owners who want to explore the Welsh coast and visit other harbours such as Aberystwyth, Aberaeron, New Quay, Barmouth and Pothmadog, or the ports and marinas of the Llŷn Peninsula.
