About the site

The site is a tranquil destination, perfect for a quiet holiday. Unwind at your pitch as you marvel at the views of Eryri (Snowdonia National Park), just a 15 minute drive away, or get out and explore the nearby coastline or the beautiful Isle of Anglesey. Tents, trailer tents, campervans, motorhomes and caravans are welcome across the site's range of grass pitches. Either opt for one of the 13 non electric pitches, or chose one of the 18 pitches which comes with a 16 amp electric hookup. If you are looking for all of the amenities, the site also has five fully serviced grass tent pitches and six fully serviced hardstanding pitches which are suitable for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, tents and trailer tents. The fully serviced pitches come with a 16 amp electric and water hookup, along with a grey waste drain. All of the pitches welcome up to six guests, with well-manicured grounds and planting all around. If glamping is more your style, the site also has a charming shepherd's hut for two. The hut comes equipped with a double bed, bedding, linen, a single gas stove, a table and chairs, crockery, a toilet, sink, gas, electric and a wood-burning stove for those cooler nights. Outside you will also have your own decking area with a fire pit and BBQ, perfect for al fresco cooking. When staying on any of the pitches, fire pits and BBQs are welcome as long as they are raised from the ground. The site also has fire pits available for hire, great for evenings of toasting marshmallows! Up to two four-legged friends are also welcome in camping or parking up your tourer, so make room for the dog bed. Please note dogs are not allowed in the shepherd's hut. There are 38 seasonal pitches also onsite, each fully serviced and suitable for extended stays.

Owners are rude, campsite was good

Tavis J

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

The owners were very rude to us upon our arrival, almost as if we were schools kids getting told off by teachers. The lady was extremely rude, immediately questioning why we had three people in the car with only one booking (we had multiple bookings). She was very blunt and generally rude to us, essentially telling us that she shouldn't let us in, shouldn't let our friends in who were running late (even though I called and explained that this would happen the day before). Show some friendliness and warmth to your guests, we are a group of young adults not looking to cause harm and don't appreciate being treated like a bunch of hooligans who you think are going to destroy your site. We tried to offer all the help we could give by giving them phone numbers to contact our friends, which they reluctantly took as if we were a nuisance to them. Overall service is as low as it can go. However we can admit that after the initial contact, they did not bother us, the facilities were nice and rather clean - warm showers included. The site itself was nice however is next to a main road which can get loud during the night. 2/5 stars from us.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchesJun 2025

Had a night's stay with a friend as we were going to Zip World for the day, so thought why not stay over the night before? The campsite is amazing, with amazing facilities and even has an indoor pool table that kept us entertained.

Site's response

Thank you for your great review! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and had fun with the pool table. Hope you had an amazing time at Zip World too—would love to welcome you back anytime!
