Upgraded from the grass pitch to a woodland pitch, the Hide. So worth the price, would definitely recommend it and will be coming back

We just loved this campsite. We chose a woodland pitch and it was amazing. A bit of woods just for us. We ordered food on the 1st night and oh wow was it amazing, and so fresh and tasty. We had no phone signal while we were away, but really didn't care. There is a pay phone and felt old school calling home. Such a lovely place, we will definitely be back. Thank you.

We stayed in a stunning woodland location, the pitch was set off the track and so private and tranquil. The staff were friendly and helpful. Clean facilities for washing showering and toileting. The on-site shop was well-stocked and fairly priced. The overall stay was out of this world, and we will definitely be returning.

Absolutely stunning place with breathtaking views all round. A very unique set-up in the woodland pitches, felt like we could have been miles away from anyone at times, but just a short walk to facilities and great access to several different walks. Spent a few days/nights there with my partner and two children (3&4yo). All felt safe and comfortable the whole time and had everything we could possibly need from both very friendly and informative hosts!

If you want semi-wild camping, choose the wild camping spots. They are adequately spaced to bring privacy. The wild camping spots are relatively near to the toilets (nothing if you choose a pitch close to the site, 5 mins if you are further, with a bit of a hill). I couldn't comment on the fields. Make sure you bring, mozzie repellant and bite cream, we had three sunny days, and the gnats were out in the evening and morning. Other than that, the range of birdsong here is glorious, I was serenaded by nightingales, followed by owls. It was just peaceful and stunning. Be prepared for wheelbarrow runs, but worth it.
Really enjoyed my stay

Really enjoyed my stay here. The site was very quiet with just the sounds of the birds and stream. Good views and fire pits in the evenings with marshmallows brought from the camp shop. Toilet were simple but the showers were lovely and warm.
Not crowded even on a Bank Holiday

Plus: Good views from the field; nice setting; not crowded even on a bank holiday; good location for Coed Y Brenin MT Bing; being able to have a BBQ/fire off the grass. Not so good: some road noise; no mobile phone reception; bit of a hike up to the toilet block; basic facilities which could have been a bit cleaner.

Stunning tranquil location. We pitched near the river in a great spot that made us feel isolated (we like this). Facilities were well kept, the walk to the toilet definitely gets your steps in.
All good!

Very pleasant experience despite the appalling weather. Good, hot water, clean bathrooms and a very helpful owner (thank you, Adrian). Also welcoming for dogs, but ensure you keep your dog leashed as there are sheep and horses close by.

We loved it! Secluded, quiet and clean, it was a great place for our family camper van. The Pad Thai and Red Curry was brilliant, and they had a great little shop.

We had such a lovely stay here, such a beautiful location with lots of lovely walks right at the site. We hired bikes for an easy cycle to Barmouth and back to the pub (don't forget to book! They won't feed you without a reservation at the pub). We followed other recommendations and tried the Thai cooked by Natalie- best Thai we've ever had! Definitely will return, cannot fault the location or the staff!

All the staff are wonderful and friendly. The wild pitch we got was perfect for us, out of the way by the river, the only downfall was having to cart all our things up and down a bit of a hill, but it was well worth it. The facilities are great, lovely powerful showers and clean, we would definitely return if we were in the area again!

Best campsite we have been too. The staff are super friendly, hats off to Sean and Alex for being superhosts and always on hand to help. The location was incredible, would 100% recommend the wild camping spots. Amazing facilities including showers and toilets, even a tuck shop to pick up bits when needed. Couldn't recommend enough and will 100% be going back as soon as possible.

Stayed in the amazing woods on our own pitch, with the sound of gushing water on rocks coming from the river below. The staff were friendly and helpful and the facilities were clean and functional. Couldn't recommend it enough 👌

Great campsite, will definitely rebook. Woodland slot next time, but even the grass pitches were great. Very helpful staff. Fire pits make it.

This was a good site. We could choose where to pitch in the field and on exploring, could see there were some lovely pitches in the wooded areas which I would definitely book next time. Facilities were limited - only three showers on the whole site and four toilets next to the washing up area, all in one small building and were unisex. Showers were locked at night and also for a couple of hours during the day for cleaning. This is fine, but not opening until 8am isn't great if you want to set off early walking etc. Natalie at the site prepares authentic Thai food which you can pre-order and is delivered to your pitch. A very reasonable £9 got me a vegan green Thai curry, which I think is one of the best I have ever tasted. Very friendly helpful staff and beautifully quiet.
