Eco Camping Wales

Mi è piaciuto: Beautiful and peaceful
Welcome was friendly
Nice to be able to walk to the pub for dinner

Non mi è piaciuto: No drinking water is strange, hadn’t realised, had to get some from the pub

La consiglierò agli amici Tornerò volentieri

Mi è piaciuto: Amazing location with super friendly site owners who went to the trouble to leave out Easter eggs for our children.

Pond pitch was really cool for small tents and tarp set up

Non mi è piaciuto: None

Mi è piaciuto: Stayed in the Oak 1 spot
- Secluded and spacious spot
- Firewood available
- Stream running through the site
- Close to lots of lovely walks
- Very polite and helpful host
- Provided fire pits
- out of O2 signal range (perfect for me but might not be ideal for families)

Non mi è piaciuto: Host mentioned that as of next year it may not dog friendly which is a massive shame as one of the best camp sites I’ve stayed in. Hopefully they change their minds 🤞🏽

Dal gestore: Thanks for lovely review at such a wet time on Friday night

With good owners we enjoy and probably let good owners with dogs stay:)
But unfortunately it's that bad apple that spoils it for us and other campers on site

Mi è piaciuto: Really peaceful place, fell asleep to the sound of the stream next to us. Owner was lovely and helpful.
Stayed in oak tree 2 and was the only ones there.
Would 100% come back.

Non mi è piaciuto: Had bad signal but didn’t really mind as it was beautiful

Mi è piaciuto: Absolutely loved this site. I had planned to stay for 2 nights but stayed for a third and enjoyed staying on 2 lovely pitches, both with amazing views. The site is peaceful and relaxing. There is no WiFi or phone reception just immersion in nature. I did two long walks, and was blessed with sunshine on both; the scenery is spectacular. The owners are interesting and inspirational. I will definitely be back.

Non mi è piaciuto: I couldn't stay longer.

Mi è piaciuto: We chose the ‘Pond’ secluded pitch for a 4 night stay. Be sure to check the details before you stay - this is eco camping not Butlins - which is absolutely why we chose it!

Great spacious pitch with an island you can chill on, rack a hammock or pitch on if your tent is not too large and you’re brave enough (we weren’t but spent time on the island and paddling)

The loo with a view was a particular favourite feature.

All the wonders of wild camping with the comfort of a piping hot shower & flushing toilet if you’re feeling fancy.

We were lucky enough to have the site to ourselves for a couple of nights which was tranquil.

Jeremy was a gracious host, showing us to our pitch and all the features of the site, we caught him again the following morning for a chat by the shower but were otherwise left to our own devices to enjoy our stay which we did.

The site allows motorcycles so we will definitely look to return on two wheels.

Mi è piaciuto: Spacious Camping site

Non mi è piaciuto: While we appreciate the eco-friendly initiatives at this site, we feel that the facilities do not justify the cost. The showers, toilets, and camping amenities are quite basic, which seems to reflect a lack of investment. As paying customers, we expected a higher standard in these areas.

Dal gestore: Hi
I recommend all future guest really read Pitchup descriptions. Or contact us by email or phone if you are unsure of our facilitates

Mi è piaciuto: We booked the pitch Oaktree 1. Nearest other pitch is about 20 yards away and then the next is around 50 yards, so good if you don't want to be surrounded by other tents and be sure of a good pitch if turning up late in the day.
The pitch was large enough for a family tent ~5 x 2.5 m and a 3 x 3 m gazebo but is on a slight slope. It would also have room for a pup tent under the canopy of the oak tree. The fire pit is a fixed old beer keg on a concrete slab that works well. The pitch has its own dedicated parking space on some gravel about 10 yards away from where your tent will be - not possible to park right next to the tent on this pitch.
Nice to have a small stream close to the tent to provide some acoustics in the evening.
Glad not to have any on-site lighting to keep things dark at night.
Glad not to have any phone signal (O2).
Firewood available in bags from the farmhouse but no kindling.

Non mi è piaciuto: Eco at this campsite means "we haven't disturbed the environment by building anything" ;-) One toilet and shower in a small outbuilding by the farmhouse, one compostable toilet at the top end of the site, and a few water taps are all the facilities we saw - The site wasn't very busy due to some bad weather but there were still queues for the toilet at peak time in the morning.
Eco also means "take your rubbish home with you" as there are no bins. No problem with this principal but not good to have to remove other peoples dog poo from the pitch when setting up.
Considering the nightly rates are similar to campsites with toilet blocks, bins, etc. the site isn't great value unless you value the certainty of booking a specific pitch
Not exactly related to the campsite, but the owner obviously doesn't want to encourage anyone using the bridleway that passes in front of the farmyard - the line of the path is blocked by several fences. There are a couple of footpath from the campsite entry road that can be used to head down the valley if you want to avoid walking on the main road - one is missing its waymarking where it leaves the campsite, we didn't walk the other one.
