Nantcol Waterfalls Reviews

Perfect for peace and quiet

Pleasant stay in lovely settings. Facilities were great and clean and well looked after. Good value for money

Lovely campsite with the friendliest staff!

This campsite is so lovely, I can't wait to re-book to come back. The staff were so helpful, the facilities were clean and they have a shop on site which didn't break the bank! Ideal for families or friends looking for a calm weekend. Really enjoyed having the waterfalls right on the door step!

Short break

Nantcol Waterfalls is a lovely place to stay. Friendly owners and very clean site. Well worth the trip. Close to seaside resorts and great for walking.

Nantcol waterfall

Loved the site, would go again. Waterfalls all round and the toilets and showers were clean.

Beautiful camp

One of the loveliest campsite I've ever been to. Streams and waterfalls run just feet away from pitch. Some of the cleanest facilities I've seen, with showers better than the one at home. Would definitely recommend and will be returning.

Wow

Wow - a lovely place! Very quiet on Sunday evening, the lady on reception was excellent! Waterfalls are great and the view is superb. The only challenge was the entrance road was very narrow in a motor home, fortunately mine was expedition 66.

Lovely place

Lovely place by the waterfalls. The hosts were really helpful and kind. Nice walks around the camping site and at very close distance. My family and especially the kids had a lot of fun. Definitely recommended.

Our stay

What a beautiful site this is, by far the best-looking value and with the waterfalls and walks. This is a fantastic place to stay, the only bad thing I have to say is that the little shop should be a bit better stocked. The staff are really helpful and polite...everything you need from a campsite in an idyllic environment. Beautiful place, see you next year.

Very picturesque site

First the good part. The site itself is very picturesque with the river running through it and the pitches are well laid out and not overcrowded. The toilets and showers are very modern and clean. But, and for us it is a big 'but', all the above is spoiled by a culture of far too many do`s and don'ts presented to you from the minute you arrive, in paper notices about noise, dogs, etc. Secondly, and more annoyingly, they charge 50p for a shower, which I thought was cheeky. If you want WIFI, you are charged a price per day, or multiples thereof, but only for one device. If you need to use another device, you pay again. This adds insult to injury and we will not be returning. In addition, there is absolutely no phone signal at the site, and the road/track up to the site is very steep and narrow, with sheer drops on one side, not for the feint hearted!

Site's response

We thank Simon for his review but obviously disappointed with aspects of his findings. His description of an array of do's and don'ts can be considered as a slight exaggeration of what every client actually accepts on arrival. The first sheet (which can be downloaded from the website) is an information sheet gathered from questions that have been asked in the past! The only two rules that we insists (and I'm afraid Simon's disagreement will not change anything) we insist on dogs being in total control at all times and on a lead. Our campsite is part of an 800 acre Hill Farm with an abundance of Sheep and Lambs to which unfortunately we loose on average 1 Sheep a year to dog attacks. We think we have a right to protect our animals and livelihood. Recently, we introduced a 'no music' rule, simply because we were inundated with complaints from fellow Campers about this issue. Unfortunately, loud music in a quiet site might be music to the listener, but to everyone else, it's the constant bass beat and a complaining issue the next morning, which we as Campsite owners and you as paying guest can do without! As regards to the extra charges, again all charges appertaining to this site are clearly illustrated on our listing, on which Simon made a booking. We charge a per person rate and a charge for electricity, we don't charge for an awning, under 4's, an extra car, a gazebo or a pup tent! Our charge for a shower is 50p for 5 minutes. This nominal fee (which has remained the same for 14 years) prevents the general public from using the facilities and also prevents guests having long showers, thus reducing waiting times. It works well and will continue! Rural retreats come with fantastic advantages but also no phone signal, no mains water, no mains sewer, and diabolical broadband! In order to provide these urban pleasures it has meant substantial investment, especially broadband, and it is a service that has to be chargeable (again, clearly illustrated on our website) you can of course opt not to use Wi-fi! Maybe one day, we shall all benefit from 5G and will not require a broadband facility, believe me it would make our lives a lot simpler! As regards to road to site being steep etc. Welcome to Wales Simon! One thing we can't do is move Nantcol Waterfalls to the side of an A road for your convenience!

Perfect site

We arrived on site about 12 noon and pitched up and waited for the office to open. Lovely big pitches...great walks to the local village through the woodland...staff were very helpful. Shower blocks clean at all times. Laundry room. Shower cards to be purchased at 50p for 5 mins showers, which were lovely and hot. There is no phone signal unless you walk up to the top of the hill which suited us just fine... you can buy Wi-Fi at £7.50 if you want but we didn't. We shall definitely be going again. Great place.

Amazing stay at Nantcol Waterfalls

Amazing location for anyone who wants a relaxing camping experience with lots of walks on-site. Staff were really helpful and answered any questions that we had. Would recommend this site to any friends who were thinking about camping!

Beautiful and welcoming

Campsite was ideally situated, surrounded by beautiful walls and only a short drive away from cute towns. Staff were super friendly and outdid themselves with the service provided. They made me and my friend feel very welcome. Facilities are very modern and clean, no matter the time we went to use them. Small charge for the showers but we were happy to pay 50p with how lovely they were. I will return during summer when it's less cold and windy!!

Lovely clean and friendly camp site

We used this camp site for a quick overnight stay. We had a walk up to the water fall. Wow it's lovely! Runs right along the camp site. Picnic table all around for people to enjoy the sun ☀️ and the view of the water. Toilets are very clean and smell amazing 🤩. Will definitely be using this camp site again!

Can’t wait to go back

What a lovely place to stay. Had the pleasure of meeting the couple who run the site, they are both very friendly and accommodating of everyone. The site is extremely clean, it's also very calm and tranquil. The views from the mountains behind are breath taking, the waterfalls and the lake are wonderful, there is plenty to do there (nature walks, riverside walks and fishing, if you're a fishing fan). We didn't want to come home.

Fantastic site

We stayed for two nights in motorhome and had a great time, the walk alongside the river and waterfalls is a must. Site is spotlessly clean as is the toilet and shower block, stunning location with river running through site. Reception staff were pleasant and helpful, and really couldn't fault anything about our stay.

Great location

Loved the site and went for dip in the waterfalls. Great!!!!

Brill

Brill. Site was nice and quiet, after a couple with a very noisy dog was asked to leave after being asked a few times to quiet the dog down as it was disturbing all the other dogs and campers. Lovely walk around the waterfalls.

Totally gorgeous campsite

This was a beautiful campsite right next to a stunning trail up to the waterfalls. Great on site facilities, always very clean, and hiring the fire pit was very fun. Stunning little river flows right through the site and we saw a Heron wading around on the first night. The riverside walk is an absolute must, just so picturesque.

Brilliant place

A great campsite, lovely location and lovely people. Beautiful surroundings and walks.

Beautiful site

Fabulous area with some spectacular scenery. Walk to the waterfall is a must do. Facilities on site are good and clean. Not sure what I'd have done if anything came up the track the other way as a lot of it is quite narrow with few passing points, but I didnt have that problem thankfully. All in all, it's a great site

Not really suitable for senior citizens

A few problems for me with this site. Firstly, the track gets busy and it's only wide enough for one car, with only a few passing places. Little can be done to change this. Secondly, the reception being in with the ice cream shop. After a days drive in the heat to get there, the last thing you want is to queue up with loads of people. I feel that it needs separating. There's no signal there at all. Wi-Fi can be bought, but in my opinion, this should be free with the cost of the pitches. Fabulous for kids and families but nothing to do but climb hills which might be too dangerous for senior citizens.

Picturesque

Lovely clean site but felt a bit secluded as too far to walk anywhere and no signal for TV at night. I had to purchase Wi-Fi, whereas I have been supplied free Wi-Fi elsewhere, but the site itself was picturesque. Also, 7 families who were all together were very noisy so my peaceful weekend was spoilt. It stated dogs should be kept on a lead at all times, as mine were, but they had 2 which roamed around.

Excellent campsite

Brilliant week at this campsite with our three year old daughter and dog. Facilities are lovely, clean and really well maintained. Washing and drying available too. Campsite itself had lots of nice flat pitches to choose from. The river and waterfalls were great for cooling off in. Easy to drive out to other places and explore the area too. Nice pub and shop in the local village nearby. Will definitely be visiting again, so much to do and see in the area.

Amazing campsite

A gorgeous location with very helpful and nice staff with a couple pubs, shops and cafe within a 40 min walk, and Snowdon within an hours drive. Great trip, wish we had stayed longer.

Motorcycle touring the area

Excellent. Would definitely stay again if planning to tour the area. The staff and owners are very helpful and welcoming.
