Liked: Lovely quiet site - nobody bothers you - youngest loves playing in the river and the resident dog that came to play with her also. Clean toilet and shower. Close to multiple tourist villages you can visit. Girls loved the horse and chickens also
Disliked: One occasion there was no toilet roll but we tend to take our own over just incase as owners can’t be expected to check all the time

Liked: Love this campsite, been many times. A great base for travelling out and about in the local area. Owners are lovely, nothing is too much trouble for them, even jump started my van for us when we let the battery go flat. Lots of work carried out recently which makes the place look amazing. Definitely worth booking, great for all ages.
Disliked: Nothing at all

Liked: Great price, close enough to the main bits of Eryri to get there relatively early, without the crazy prices that you see near Llanberis. Decent facilities and plenty of space to pitch
The pub, although quite close, is down a busyish national speed limit road with no pavement so you will want a headtorch if you're going later on

Liked: Flat pitches, shower was hot and the water stayed on without having to press a button, quiet and peaceful vibes. Stream was nice and I had a dip in the stream, which was refreshing. Easy check in. Little chickens running about which were cute. Really nice vibe and lovely views around.
Disliked: Only one toilet for male & females, and only one shower. This was ok as it wasn't too busy, but if it was busier this could be an issue. Also, it had been raining meaning the ground was muddy/boggy, which wasn't an issue for us but worth mentioning for others to know. Also, washing up area was cold water + had no cover.
