Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

I took my two kids here for a weekend in August. We had a great time. The toilets and showers are spotless. There is a river along the campsite that we paddled in. There is plenty of space overall. When it is clear you get a really good view of the stars and you can see the Milky Way. The steam railway next to the site is worth going on and you can hike up Mount Aran.

Great site and experience

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

Although we didn't spend a huge amount of time onsite, we had a great experience when we did. The kids loved playing on the park and I pitched the tent in a spot nearby, so they were able to play while I set up and dismantled. The fenced off dog area was great, especially as it is next to the river, so the dog was able to cool off.

Lovely quiet site

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesAug 2022

Went as a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 teenagers. The site was a perfect base for exploring. We walked around some of the local area and also went to Bala Lake. The site was clean and the facilities were very nice with good showers. The stream was a nice addition to cool down with the hot weather! There was a lovely park area for younger children and a dog run, which was nice for the dog to be off lead and burn some energy. We would definitely go back.

Peaceful, relaxing and friendly

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2022

We arrived and check in was easy. The site is well kept, we stayed in the non-electric part. Toilets, washing facilities, bins and park were all central and easy to watch the kids and relax. Shame the showers and fridge freezer were on the other side of the park. I stayed with my 2 young children and everyone was respectful of the noise at night. The steam train next door was good to use as well. Would definitely come here again and make use of the river when it's warmer.

Fantastic campsite

Single Axle Caravan - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2022

The site met all our expectations, had a few relaxed days which were definitely needed. Great flexibility in choosing your own pitch if not requiring electric hook-up, several different locations to select from. Site is suitable for everyone. Would highly recommend, intend to revisit in the near future.

Enjoyed

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2022

We enjoyed our stay. We chose a place near the river and we went swimming in the river. There was enough water, especially in such hot days. Only thing - we were sad that not all people followed the rules. For 2 nights, our neighbours were listening to very loud music after 10pm. Thank you very much for such an amazing place.

Excellent

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJul 2022

This is a lovely place to stay at and we will be going back to it. There are only two points that I would say could be better. First is the long walk to the shower block, but once there it's very clean. The second is that there could be more bins down nearer the tent site and not just the campers' site. Other than that it's a very good place to stay. We are planning our next trip there now.

Lovely place

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2022

We had a lovely stay at the campsite. The location was peaceful and scenic, and we were allowed to pitch up wherever we chose. The facilities were amazing (toilets and showers) and very clean. The location allowed us to explore both inland and the coast and the price was half of what the nearest campsite was. We saw a heron stood in the river by the pitch and incredible sunsets over the hills in the distance.. highly recommend the site, we will be back.

Lovely campsite
