Torrent Walk Campsite and Bunkhouse Reviews

Good facilities in a great location

We had a hardstanding with electricity, water and a grey drain. Level pitch well sheltered by hedge. Some road noise. Quiet but narrow lane to the site. Excellent clean showers/toilets with plenty of hot water. Nice view from the pitch. We were very happy, we will be back.

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us and hope to welcome you back soon.

Great location

Great location, clean facilities and both helpful and friendly staff. The only minor issue we found was the traffic noise, though it’s a trade off for a very accessible site. Great value for money overall, thank you!

Thank you for your lovely review, hope to see you again.

Amazing campsite!

Fabulous site and very close to many attractions. The staff are friendly and the pitch markings are simple to read. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone.

Lovely little site close to Dolgellau

Lovely local walks from the site with beautiful rivers. A drive into Dolgellau.

Absolutely perfect

The photos of this campsite and the shepherd's hut don't do the place the justice it deserves. It's also incredibly easy to find. There is a Starbucks and a petrol station with shop just before the lane you turn down, which for a coffee addict as myself, was a really welcome. The scenery is beautiful. As you drive to site, you are greeted with rolling hills and field full of curious cows and sheep, then horses. The instructions were spot on. When we reached the hut, we were so happy to find it to be private and dog friendly, you could literally let your dogs off the lead to explore (although if you have dogs that run off, I would recommend keeping a close on eye on them as part of area seems to go on for quite a far bit), but over all its very secure. The huts are small and well equipped. We only stayed 2 nights, but if we stayed longer, I would have taken my garden loungers as there isn't any soft seating, which isn't an issue if like us, you're always out and about. I0f you wanted to spend a day there in the hot tub or having a BBQ, you might find you want something you can lounge on. We love it and would definitely come back.

Weekend break

Amazing views, friendly staff and excellent facilities.

Perfect!

The place was very good. Extremely supportive staff. I reached post the max check in time, and requested if they could accomodate. They were available for us and helped us with everything. It was just too good for the weekend. Misty mountains in the background, good weather, near-to-walk washrooms and shower rooms. It was very good.

Great stay

Only one thing that could be better, the grass on the pitches was very long.

Good base, basic facilities

Contactless check in to inform us of our pitch number before we arrived. Booked a hardstanding pitch. Pitch was relatively level with half hard standing and half grass in their 'Lake View' field. We went over August bank holiday so expected it to be busy, but at no point did the site feel over full. Site is in an excellent location around 20 mins from Barmouth and near a lovely village called Dolgellau. Facilities were very basic and kept relatively clean, given it was a rainy weekend that generated a lot of mud on the site. The site allows fire pits in the evening, so there was a very strong, smoky smell in the air at night which we didn't really enjoy. Overall, it is very rough around the edges site but an excellent base for exploring the Snowdonia area. In terms of value for money, we had paid the same price for another site which we stayed at the weekend before that I felt had better facilities and more in the way of site amenities, such as a shop and park for children.

Lovely setting

Overall we really enjoyed our weekend here - it was a perfect base camp and location for us as it was close to Cadair Idris. The check-in process was incredibly easy - all the information was sent to you earlier in the day and you just had to find your pitch number and set up. The pitch was a good size and for us, was a good location on the site, being relatively close to the facilities. There was a really nice vibe to the campsite and it was very family friendly.

Great site

Great site with great facilities. Cleaning toilets, showers and facilities is very frequent. I like the fact they have a few separate showers and toilets so when the main block is being cleared, there are still some available. Also the fridge and freezer are very handy and there was a good "mark up your items" system with stickers. I didn't use the washing machine facilities but the dishwashing area is perfect and clean. Another added bonus is the closeness to the Mach Loop so you get the odd fighter jet and chinook flying over (only in the daytime and only a few a day, weekdays only). Really near the Torrent Walk too.

2 night stay

Excellent campsite with great facilities and friendly staff.

Lovely week

Excellent site in a good location. We were surrounded by nature with horses and ducks. Facilities were good and clean.

Good campsite

Great place to stay when exploring the Mach Loop. If I come back, I will stay again.

Fantastic stay good value for money.

We fancied just a cheap and cheerful overnight stay in our campervan. This site was brilliant. Excellent sized pitch and facilities were clean. They offered a self check-in which was just parking at your pitch no faffing at reception all details were sent before. There were fridge and freezers, washing machines, vending machine, everything you needed for camping and caravanning. We will definitely stay there again.

Excellent location

The location of Torrent Walk Campsite is excellent. We love the walk up to the Waterfall and so do our dogs. The site sits in a bowl from which the views are spectacular. The site does get busy as its location attracts many who are involved in the outdoor activities of a rugged area. This means the facilities are rather stretched in the early morning and cleaning takes place from 10am, giving a narrow band of time. Sometimes the showers are left in a bit of a mess after the rush, and I did get fed up with cleaning the shower unit before use. However, the cleaning equipment is excellent. We love the horses wandering around, and generally this is a very easy going site for families, couples and outdoor activities, also for my dogs.

Lovely campsite

Lovely campsite and lovely staff!

Nice, clean campsite

Nice, clean and quiet. Only stayed one night as passing through, but would definitely stay longer. Clean facilities. Peaceful and tidy.

Excellent

Great location. Easy self check in and out service. Showers are lovely and clean and powerful. Reception offer BBQ pack's, milk and fire logs. Pitch sizes are good too

Perfect

Nice place, highly recommended.

Our stay

Booked this campsite late last year. Thought it was near Snowdon to climb, but that's an hour away. Harlech and Barmouth beach are lovely and luckily we had great weather. Campsite was packed and everyone friendly and respectful. We did order a fire pit but didn't have one straight away - a shame as we had pre-booked that. Nice walk nearby, literally 5 mins called Torrent Walk. Our pitch was ok but right under a tree, so we had no sun and could see everyone else did! I will definitely go back but not have the same pitch - I need sun!

Rubbish Pitch and left a day early

Wasn't the best of campsites we have visited. We were put on a pitch right on the main entrance to the site and right next to the toilet block. It was very busy around our pitch from being the entrance, next to the toilet block and reception. All the cars would wait outside out pitch with their engines running causing fumes on our pitch, Caravans arriving etc, it also had the noise from a constant rush to the toilets, pot washing area and the hand dryers were load and seemed to be going 24 hours a day. The site had a problem on our first day, with no water in the toilet block so could not have a shower and no flushing toilets. It was also in the area where children would use the area as a race track and congregate at night with some very bad language until 11pm. Not the most pleasant of stays so left a day early.

Site's response

Thank you for your comments, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your time with us. As you chose to stay during school holidays the site was very busy with families enjoying themselves and allowing their children a bit of freedom to play in a safe and relaxed environment, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. We want everyone to have a good holiday and if you had raised your concerns at the time we could have helped to move you to a different pitch. We don't have any pitches by the main entrance but the pitch close to the toilet block does get busy with people walking back and forth. We can only apologise for the water issue which was out of our control and we did our best to resolve it as quickly as possible. The toilets were kept clean and were constantly being flushed with a bucket of water by our staff after every user, we could not control the water running out as it was down to the water company.

Would visit again

Lovely site. Noise from the road is a bit loud and could do with more toilets and showers.

A lovely campsite

A lovely campsite, with an interesting variety of accommodation options. Self check in was easy and hassle free. The campsite was well maintained, the lake field camping was great and there was plenty of sun in both the morning and evening. There were also very spacious pitches. Facilities were clean and modern. Great to have access to a fridge and freezer (sadly left my ice packs in the freezer, so I hope someone can make use of them!) Lots of people on the site made use of the firepits available and we have resolved to give one a try next time. The site is quite close to A470 so can hear the road noise but not too intrusive. An easy 30 minute walk into Dollgellau, where we had an evening meal in Y Sospan, which was superb. Thanks for a great weekend.

Great location

Spend a few nights here, it's in a lovely location and great value for money.
