A note from the site themselves...

We are a small, family run site and we want to offer our guests, the things that we would like if we were on holiday. A great base to stay and explore the surrounding area with clean facilities, not too overcrowded and more importantly, not too noisy.

Whether you want to, sit and relax, read a book, listen to birdsong, watch the wildlife or go hiking up Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), we are the ideal base for you. We offer a range of accommodation types. So hopefully there is something for everyone.

We are always at hand if you need any help or advice and if we don't know the answer to your question, we will probably know someone who does.

We are looking forward to meeting you, "The Hamptons"

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches May 2025

Lovely campsite. We camped, the part for the tents was lovely and clean. General bin was a little full however this appeared to be because people where not recycling as these bins where empty. Showers, toilets clean, washing up room was very clean. Could do with a play area for kids but there was a lovely a field with goal posts. No issues and will recommend.

Site's response

Hi Alicia, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We do appreciate it. Just to address your two comments, in Wales as a business, we have to recycle at source. That is why we only have one general waste bin in the camping area. Like you say, if people recycled, there would be very little waste going into the general waste bin. The bin areas are emptied once a day, around mid-day and checked frequently. As for a play area, we deliberately don't have one, except for the flat area in the field. This is purely because we market ourselves on peace and quiet and we find that when there is a play area, children will congregate and the noise level can increase to extremes. We like to hear children playing but not to the detriment of other guests . Thank you for sticking with us, during a very wet and windy Bank Holiday weekend. You were true hardy campers. We hope to see you again in the future. Sally & Rob "The Hamptons"
