What customers say
This Snowdonia campsite boasts incredible 360° views and a quiet, rural setting perfect for hiking and biking. Guests rave about the friendly, helpful owners, Peter and his wife. It's a "no frills" spot, ideal for nature lovers, with recent upgrades like water and disposal points. Despite minor notes on shade and occasional sheep, feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning to return.

Excellent, clean site.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked This is Snowdonia, right? It’s hard to pick a favourite spot, but I think we can say this is one. We enjoyed a stupendous view of the mountain range on the other side of A470 with a sense of unlimited space surrounding us. Fresh air to breathe and lawn to tread on. Peter and his wife, were very welcoming and friendly, with Peter sharing tips on day trips or even week-long walks in the various parks. Though the campsite was advertised as no thrills lacking amenities (water, toilets etc.) the campsite still offered running tap water, not for drinking on site. On arrival, Peter received us and offered a spot slightly away from a noisier group. We had a restful night only disturbed by the curiosity of the grazing sheep. Would we consider visiting again? Definitely yes!
Disliked Nothing, we are easy to please.

A new spot but definitely on the up. Owner has lots of plans brewing.
Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked This new site already had more facilities than when we booked. It now has fresh water, electricity posts, with grey/black disposal. The owner greeted us but is not always on site although he was easily contacted by phone. A peaceful spot with fabulous views.
Disliked Not too sure the sheep grazing around us helped with the droppings!

Lovely site, fab views, great location, forest walks,dog friendly,
Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked The views are breathtaking, and to wake up to the view every morning was amazing. Lots of wildlife about. You can pitch on the allocated pitches at the top or find somewhere near the old inn ruins. We chose a lush spot just by the inn on grass. Just water and cdp & recycling which suits us as hate commercialised sites. Peter the owner was lovely. Amazing walks from the site on hill paths and down to a beautiful forest with stunning views all round. We will definitely be back next year. And all the site fees go towards the re build of the Inn that was destroyed in a fire so all for a good cause. It’s dog friendly and just fantastic. It’s no frills and simple and just totally back to nature. It’s a work in progress & we wish Peter lots of luck in creating his campsite and all the plans he has for the Inn.
Disliked Nothing. We did have an issue that was not the fault of the site but some campers just rocked up at 1am and started setting up loudly so disturbed our sleep. So perhaps to say for the site to say no arrivals after 10pm would be good. Peter dealt with this matter though excellently with great communication and it didn’t spoil our stay or put us off staying again.
