Non-electric grass tent pitch (sea view)
Liked: Decent sized pitch and not too far to walk from the car. Beautiful views, sea/beach on one side mountains on the other. Well kept toilets/showers. Feels remote but only around 20 min drive away from towns to explore. 5 min walk to beach.

Liked: We loved the peace and quiet, the facilities (shower, toilets and the dishes cleaning area), also the secluded path to the beach being so close. The owner was nice and recommended us a coastal path walk nearby

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: The campsite was excellent with a sense of a semi-wild camp but with facilities. The design of multiple, separate pitches with growing plants in between great and gave a sense of privacy.
Staff on the site were very friendly and happy to help with any enquiries or issues.
Shower and toilet blocks are immaculately clean and tidy. We’ll definitely be returning.

Liked: This place is great. It was a wet and windy stay, Mitch (the owner) was looking out for all the campers making sure they knew which were the most sheltered spots. It’s well maintained with lovely secluded pitches. Definitely going to stay again
Disliked: None

Non-electric grass tent pitch (sea view)
Liked: Amazing camping site, like nothing we’ve found before.
1. Adults only, which was great, so it was really quiet and peaceful and relaxing.
2. The amazing views of the sea and mountains.
3. Nice coastal walks.
4. Fire pit was lovely of an evening. We used all the wood we took and ran out but you can scan a bar code and buy wood there for £5 a bag which was really convenient.
5. Short stroll from a beautiful beach.
6. The bonus was the different camping designated areas, so you are not next to other campers and you have your own private area, never seen this before but it is a requirement now for all my future camping trips!
7. Very clean toilets and showers. Saw Owners cleaning toilets late at night.
8. Lovely area of Wales to camp, beaches were quiet.
9. Showers were very powerful, which was great.
Disliked: Slight road noise at times but to be fair, you don’t notice it much.
Toilet taps didn’t have hot water tap. Bit this wasn’t an issue as the showers were hot.
