Woodland pitch

We had originally paid for a woodland pitch which was about £25 each. Having driven up to the main campsite building, we were excited looking at all the pitches. However, we were put on a over grown field (called the wetlands) away for all the other campsites which backed onto some very uneven woodland which you couldn't camp on. Considering we had paid for a woodland pitch and seen the pictures we were very disappointed. The field itself was about a 10 minute walk from the toilets / water facilities along a dark and very steep one way road which made us feel very unwelcome. The field they put us on was the field immediately adjacent to the road so throughout the evening we constantly heard cars/headlights driving past our tent. The location of the campsite was good however close to several good hikes and locations of interest. We would likely not visit again as what we had originally paid for was not what we were given, the toilet/water situation was even worse for the pitch we were shown.

I have recently converted my car into a micro-camper and we chose this site as our first outing. I travelled with my husband and young son. We were in "The Glen" pitch, which was beautiful. It was a multi-level pitch with an area of hardstanding for the car, a bark area for our awning and up a little bank there was a peaceful area to put our camp fire and seating. The site was so peaceful, each night we slept very well as everyone was quiet and there weren't many people walking around past our pitch, even though we were on the "main" road up to the loos. I was fully prepared for wild camping, having taken a small camping toilet with us, but this was not needed as the toilet block was only a short wander away. I was surprised that the toilets were unisex, but this didn't cause any issues. The shop on site was well stocked with everything you might need and might have forgotten. I would highly recommend this site and I plan on visiting again!

Me and my partner stayed here and we loved it! The views are stunning and the campsite its self is lovely. Nice welcome and everyone is respectful and cheerful. It gave such wildness feels and some lovely short and long walks close by. Pitch areas are very spacious and the forest camping looked amazing, will definitely be booking this next time! I only have positive comments on this place. Thank you for having us! We will be back

We loved this campsite, got the remoteness of wild camping whilst still having toilets and other facilities. Good to note there is NO phone signal whatsoever though, but once you get used to being completely off grid, it's lovely.

A truly gorgeous place. It feels very secluded and our pitch felt very private. You really are in the middle of nature with birds, squirrels, and butterflies all paying visits to our camp. The showers and toilet block were kept clean and I had a hot shower each day. The washing-up area is an added bonus. A walk to the George pub was an easy and lovely walk along the estuary. Thoroughly recommend it for a Sunday roast. The site was mostly very quiet and the other campers polite and friendly. The downsides were that our pitch was a little on the small side despite being asked for our tent's dimensions (although I think you can pay for a larger pitch), and lack of rubbish disposal as that part of Wales seems to be lacking in public bins. But these are very minor gripes in what was otherwise a wonderful stay. Bonus points for being dog friendly.

Great campsite couldn't fault it. We had a wooded campervan pitch which was spacious and peaceful. The facilities were exactly what we needed and the shop was an added bonus. Would highly recommend this campsite.

Where can I start. I stayed over the weekend with a group of friends. The site was better than we expected - the staff were lovely. We couldn't get over how peaceful and quiet it was. The wildlife aren't afraid to come and pay you a visit, which was lovely to watch. The views and walks around the site are breathtaking. Safe to say we will be back again. I would highly recommend it to anyone, you won't be disappointed.

Was greeted by a very pleasant young man on arrival who showed us to our pitch, it was quite tight and upon request he showed us to other pitches which were more suitable for our high 4x4. Some over hanging tree branches/bushes could do with cutting back to prevent damage to vehicles. The site has access to the estuary and within walking distance to a pub. They do have toilets, showers and a small shop, provide fire pits and wood (at a cost). We would definitely recommend and hope to return again soon.

I would definitely recommend this campsite. The only downside was I would have liked to pick my tent pitch. Overall we absolutely loved our stay. The campsite was clean and tidy and almost felt like we were alone at times. Was only a short driving distance from various different locations and the surrounding scenery was stunning. Friendly staff and owner. Would definitely visit again.
Worth the price

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!
Awesome

Fantastic place. Got everything a solo camper or couple could need. Friendly warm welcome. Various pitches, from open field with great views, to wild-ish camping in the woods. All facilities were clean and tidy and well maintained. I ordered dinner for the evening. They do Thai food and it was brilliant as it was delivered to me by the owner on a bicycle. You have to experience this unique place. Will be returning soon.

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.
