What customers say
This ripper, quiet campsite is a real gem. Perfect spot with a great hammock pitch, wild swimming in the river, and clean, modern loos. Well-kept grounds with bonus free-roaming chickens and rope swings. No dramas from reviewers!
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Nice rustic site, Very relaxing and good location
Caban Tarian ready tent (adults only)
Liked The cabin was really stunning and we really enjoyed the peace and quiet and sitting out front in the evening with a bottle of wine just watching the river
The bed was so comfortable
Disliked The only thing letting the cabin down was no electricity
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your clowning review.
The cabin is off grid, an environmentally friendly alternative to our day to day lives. I hope you found the light switch run by solar battery and the USB charging points.
Great site, would recommend
Hammock unpowered forest floor tent site (no pets)
Liked Lovely site, quiet and small and quiet. Easy access to the river for wild swimming, which is fantastic. Was pleasantly surprised that there was also table tennis, badminton and a trampoline set up on site. Very easy access to the town.
Disliked Was confused by ‘hammock forest floor’ description and didn’t realise it was only for hammocks, no tent pitch. Apparently I’m not the first to make this mistake - I’m not a seasoned camper and it was my misunderstanding. The guy was great and sorted this immediately for us on arrival so no harm done, just worth being aware of.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review.
The hammock pitch is always good fun, some manage it, others end up in their tent in the main campsite but it's certainly a fun option if you bring a hammock.
Little gem

Great destination close to everything in Caernarfon
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked I loved the small quirky site, the hosts were really warming and helpful, the pitch was great.
Disliked 1st come 1st serve with showers!!! Day 2 the campsite was full and I could not get hot water after 11am. Had to swim in the sea to feel refreshed. I'm sure as its a new site they will rectify this issue.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind review.
I think the weekend you were with us we had lots of teenage children on site who were taking a long time in the shower. Our problem is we have made them too nice and free!
Our river would have been more refreshing for you than the sea.
We do have another 2 showers in build, not sure if there is another system in campsites other than 1st come, 1st serve and queuing. Happy for any suggestions.
Brilliant site - looking forward to staying there again
Unpowered gravel campervan site

Disliked None

Facilities are good
Powered gravel campervan site
Liked It was ok
Disliked I think you shoukd rethink putting a hard standing pitch near the bins. It was not good and smelly
There should be a noise cut off time and not being woken up at 11pm to midnight with motor home parking up next to campervan I assume filling with water
Hard standing pitches are to close to each other
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your comments, indeed they were something we already had in mind. The spot by the bins has now been changed to a parking spot for cars and the electric campervan pitch moved further away.
We have a 9pm cut off point for arrivals, people are unpredictable! But you are right we need to be a lot more firmer with this as it's not fair on guests already on the site.
Great location with clean facilities but small pitches.
Unpowered grass tent site
Liked Great location for north Wales! Very clean and new shower and toilet facilities.
Wild swimming also on the grounds which the dog enjoyed.
Disliked Not a massive complaint but The pitches are not very big. We had a 3 man tent which just about fit length ways to leave us some space for chaira
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for your kind review.
We got the lawn mower out and made that pitch bigger in the meadow. The flowers are coming to an end now so the pitches will be even bigger.
