What customers say
Guests rave about the friendly hosts and delicious cooked breakfasts. This quiet spot boasts amazing stargazing, with BBQs & fire pits available. It's perfect for exploring Lake Vyrnwy. Though small with only two toilets, it's ample for the site. A charming getaway with many planning to return.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
Good site! Great food, friendly and helpful host. Would stay again!
Power optional grass and gravel tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked Yea quirky place, owner is nice, cooks a awsome breakfast for a reasonable price! Would stay again! Very good site if you wanted to take your family in a yurt or camp, they have a bbq room which is pretty unique and cool too.
Lovely forest to explore nearby, not super far to drive to local shop spar (10-15mins) which is pretty good too, they sell local meat in there for a reasonable price. There’s also a shop down the end of the road but we got there a bit late so was shut unfortunatley.
Campsite was nice and quiet too.
Disliked Unfortunatley due to the hot weather there was not enough water to use the showers but it wasn’t the end of the world as I had a jet wash I adapted in the back of the van for emergencies.
