Liked: Absolutely everything! What a beautiful, clean , quiet, family friendly site. The staff go above and beyond to ensure everyone has the best stay. This is the best campsite I have stayed with my children. We can’t wait to book again . The river and site is stunning. There is lots to within the area and the campsite is not far from Anglesey, snowdonia or the north parts of Wales . A hidden gem . Definitely recommend to all campers with families. The kids loved the park and activities. After speaking to other campers, many said they had been revisiting every year and I can see why . Very affordable and reasonable prices (We stayed at another site up the road who were charging double the cost of this site) . Lots of great memories made on this holiday :)

Liked: Beautiful surroundings with the sound of the river in the background - really helped the kids sleep as it blocked out the noises from the rest of the campsite. The playground was good and plenty of space to run around and play. Good shop with essentials and places to sit and the staff all really helpful and friendly. Enjoyed a lovely breakfast at the Bistro Friday morning as well. Highly recommend this site 😊
Disliked: Shower facilities are a little basic but that's only a minor thing compared to how good the site is overall.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: What a lovely campsite, a real gem. Our pitch was right by the lake so the children were happy as they got to paddle in the river whenever they wanted to. The play area and games available such as ping pong was also a bonus Thank you for a wonderful stay, we missed the sound of the river when we came home!
Disliked: I’ve put stars for the accommodation simply because we stayed in our own tent! The only slight downside was the shower curtains, they need a good scrub or replacing

Liked: A well maintained, well thought out with a helpful and warm team. Toilet and shower facilities were constantly being checked and cleaned. Communication pre, during and post stay was clear and useful. Location has great access and road links to Yr Wyddfa, Eryri National Park, Anglesey, Zip World etc. but no road noise. The river, play park and facilities were great for the kids and the reduced car movements on site made it feel safe.

Liked: Fantastic site nestled in a very beautiful setting. We were allocated a pitch opposite the park which the children LOVED! Facilities were great and very clean. Lots of activity space, and a lot of space for the children to run around as the pitches are nicely spread out. Location is great as well and easy to get around the area. Undercover play area for the children was a great addition, we didn't really use it as the weather was great [unexpectedly] but can imagine this is good if the rain had come.
