Liked: The facilities ie showers, wash area, even the eco toilets which is a lot better than using portaloos at ‘wild’ camping sites.
Nice pitch sizes, with enough space from other pitches and the night we stayed was very quiet.

Liked: The campsite was beautiful and very tranquil, with well laid out pitches.
The showers and toilets were exceptionally clean and the children loved the 'shed' which was a games room, a place to chill out and had facilities like a fridge, kettle, microwave that could be used by residents.
Very friendly and helpful owners and we loved the resident dogs too!

Liked: The wide open spaces where the kids could play and make friends with other children playing on the site. The quiet nature of the site and the spacing of the pitches makes for a very serene experience.
The eco shower, toilet and wash up facilities are far better than I have experienced on many non-eco campsites, and they are regularly cleaned. And the included shower gel, shampoo, conditioner and soaps are a bonus.
Dotty the dog was a huge hit with the kids also.
There is no Wifi on site, which personally I see as a plus, but a strong 4g signal was available.

Liked: What a beautiful campsite. Absolutely loved the eco friendly touches, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the showers. The site itself was really pretty and it had such a calming effect. Loved the communal fire pit in the evenings. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend. Close to shops and not to far from Snowdonia. We will definitely be returning next year. Myself and my partner had a massage from Elen. It was just what we needed after a stressful week. Elen is fantastic!!!
Thank you so much.

Liked: Nice quiet campsite, pitch felt very private as there is a “grass wall” around you. The pitches were very level which was great too. Showers and toilets were nice and clean with the option of normal loos if you do not like compost ones. All shower products were provided as it is an eco friendly camp. It was very quiet at night and there aren’t many pitches so was pretty quiet during the day too. There’s a communal area with pool table and other amenities such as a fridge, microwave etc. Lastly it was an 3 minute drive to Tesco! Overall just a lovely little campsite.
Disliked: Only downside is that the car park is near the shower blocks so you cannot park next to pitch. Wasn’t a big issue at all, they provide wheelbarrows to take your belongings from the car to the pitch.

Liked: Bethan (owner) is so welcoming, hard working and is an absolute joy. Very helpful on every occasion we needed guidance.
Camp site is perfectly located for a peaceful escape and also central to all things adventure and beautiful beaches.
Campsite is very clean, well maintained and everything is accessible. Showers are lovely and wonderful products provided. Washing up area is clean, good water pressure with hot and cold water.
Piches are great, offer seclusion and again well maintained. There is some fabulous looking glamping belltents - looked incredible, furnished and plentiful room for gathering with larger families or friends.
It's a very economic friendly campsite - you need to recycle, has compost loos ( and some flushing)
They style of the showers, loos, sinks etc is really fitting to the surroundings.
One of my favourite things was walking to the communal area on an evening where the grass pathways was lit with solar lights ... so so pretty and enchanting.
Communal area is just perfect ! Lovely comfortable seating/sofas. Electric kettle, fridge, toaster etc as well as a pool table. We sat in there on our last night charging our phones, bottle of wine, cheese and biscuits having a great time- very chilled atmosphere and so relaxing. Fire pits available are great and there is a huge communal one roo with seats around. Absolutely everyone has been respectful, polite and a pleasure to be with and around.
Phone signal has been fine, no issues at all.
We have done lots in our few days. Campsite is great location for Snowdon and lots of the adrenaline activities. Also beaches within easy travel distance.
Overall absolute great Campsite. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit and explore this part of Wales.
Disliked: Nothing.

Liked: Fabulous little find. Personal, quiet, cool and rustic. We love our stay there and will definitely be back. Teenage boys didn't quite get used to the compost toilets though! All part of life's experiences!
See you again soon
