A note from the site themselves...

As a family of four, we became the proud owners of this beautiful little park in November 2023. Since then, we have worked tirelessly to transform what was once just a field into a peaceful getaway destination in the Gwynedd countryside.

A lot has been achieved thus far, although we continue with the programme of refinement and innovation and hope our returning customers reap the benefits as we progress. We exclusively cater to families and couples and pride ourselves on offering a traditional family and dog friendly, comfortable camping/glamping trip.

We are both lucky enough to have grown up in the area, so if you need any advice or tourist information while you stay, don't hesitate to ask! Sophie and Daniel

Medium Tent - Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

Friendly owners, saw them often around the site. Location was great. Great facilities and very clean. Had to pay slightly more than expected when I arrived however we didn’t have to pay for the electric at the end so I think this was the reason for paying slightly more. Would recommend and return.

Peaceful campsite

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesMay 2025

This is a lovely quiet campsite. The toilet is small but super clean and looks new. At first I was worried about the amount of toilets and bathrooms, but there was always a room when I go in. The best thing we loved about the campsite is definitely the enclosed dog park! We were allocated near the dog park, and we took our 2 years old Labrador there to play ball everyday before bedtime. He usually barks at every sound in the tent at night, but this time he was so tired and stayed asleep whole night! The only downside is that our pitch was at the top of the hill. And we couldn’t keep our things sit still on the table. But the rest of the pitch looks pretty flat. We’d definitely come back again!
