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.
Summary AI-generated from Pitchup.com customer reviews
A great site for wild camping, with amazing views, at a great price.
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked The most amazing views across the Rhigos mountains, and the fact that there were five errant sheep on the loose, giving the farmer the run around! The host was very friendly and the pitches were a good size. The price was excellent.
Disliked The midges were the only thing that were the 'fly in the ointment!'. Otherwise, for wild camping you can't beat it.

Great views.. Phone signal.. Friendly owner. Value for money
Power optional cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite
Liked Really lovely back to basics campsite. The owner is helpful and friendly.The view is lovely.. Sun sets behind the hills Infront of you.. Sheep roaming the land. I can't fault it.
Perfect base for sightseeing in north Wales. We camped here for 3 nights as we planned to climb Snowdon. It's approximately a 1 hour drive to the base of Snowdon mountain.
There's a Few pubs not far from the campsite (15 mins drive) if you want a hot meal. We did have phone signal

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.
