Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Perfect back to basics flat campsite. Ideally located giving great access to all of North Wales and Snowdonia National Park.
After reading previous reviews the facilities were exactly as expected. Whilst they are basic they’re kept clean and tidy managed by the very friendly and welcoming host.
Disliked: Nothing, ideal for my needs whilst touring around Wales on my motorcycle.

Liked: The campsite was great and spacious and had enough facilities to accommodate everyone. The lady hosting us was so incredibly kind and even helped us when we had trouble with our tents. We came to have a reunion in our friendship group and this was the perfect setting for us.

Liked: Good facilities lovely location with beautiful scenery very close to Snowdon. Karen is lovely nice small campsite so you can get to know people.
Disliked: Thought we could all have our own fires but theres a communal pit which was still good to get to know other campers.

From the manager: Thanks Harvey for your review.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.
We provided the communal fire pit as people were burning the grass with individual fires.
Glad you see the benefit of it though, as it's nice to get to know people and you get a good view from it too.😊
