Hafod Hall Camping Club Reviews

Amazing views

Five stars. Amazing views of Snowdonia national park, especially at sunset. All the campsite people were super chill and friendly. Will definitely recommend to people visiting North Wales.

Not ideal for campervans

We felt it was very expensive for a one night stay in our VW campervan with two small dogs with no hook and no real hard standing for a van. We actually ended up sleeping in the "car park" (a flat grassed area) which was ok as luckily there were no other guests. Staff were friendly and happy. After setting up camp, we did try a few times to get out walking / hiking and although the area is surrounded by rolling barren hills and farmers fields, plus a lake in the distance, we gave up, due to no footpath directions. We couldn't figure a way to get to the large lake a couple of miles away and couldn't find any "forest walks". Might be a case of us getting confused, but we hike a lot and are used to signed pathways, especially on farmers land! This would probably be a great site for group camping as its very rustic and you're allowed camp fires and pitch your tent practically anywhere, although its not easy to find a flat area away from the actual house. If you want peace and quiet, great rural rolling scenery, no pub to pop into after walking and a feel of wild camping, this is the place for you.

A very good spot

Great location and friendly service.

Great location

Fantastic location for wild camping and firewood available at the site. Unfortunately, while we were there the toilet block was out of action.

Lovely, quiet site in the Welsh mountains

Always nice to find a site that encourages a campfire. I would recommend this site for anyone wanting a quiet stay with views of the Welsh mountains. However, I wouldn't recommend the site for people that are disabled or require their car to be next to their tent as you have to walk up a short but steep hill to reach the camping area. Despite that I would recommend and return to this campsite!

Site's response

Thank you for your review and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. My staff are more than happy to drive guests camping equipment up to the Wild Camping area on the quad.

Enjoyable!

Simple and all we needed

The host is wonderful

Sam is by far one of the friendliest people we have ever met and what a great host. The accommodation is perfectly out of the way, right in the middle of nature. It's not often you get to sleep in a what is basically a tree house for a fraction of the price of some park chains. We would definitely return if we were in the area again.

Hidden paradise

Such a naturally beautiful and peaceful place. Buzzards, swallows, owls, far reaching views to hills and lakes. If you want the closest thing to wild camping (but with a great hot shower!) this is it, Off the beaten track, literally. Nearest shop is 6 miles, turn left or 10 miles, turn right. Sam and Darren are always working around the forest and are great to chat to and always willing to help. Blissful solitude.

Amazing people, spectacular views and a lovely site

This site is amazing! Firstly this is supposed to give you a wild camping experience, if you don't want that, you won't enjoy it. We were welcomed by Sam, who was super cheery, smiley, happy and helpful. So friendly, which made a great start after a 2 hour drive. We parked, walked up and pitched our tent then came back to move our car to an allocated location. We're chatty people and spent a bit of time talking to Sam. He told us about the sunset times and where we could go locally, we were just happy looking around as it's a working farm so there's cows and sheep everywhere, if you're into your wildlife there is so much to see. I've seen people complain about sheep poo by their tent which is ridiculous to be honest. After a bit of walking around, we headed back up to the site to watch the sunset which was incredible and we met Sam's dog, she's very sweet. There's on-site toilets which is obviously brilliant as you don't have to do your business outside and there's showers available, men and women separately. The whole experience was just fantastic, everyone is so friendly and welcoming and the other campers were all there for a good time. I think everyone is so jolly because of Sam's welcome! Anyway, thanks very much for having us, we will see you again soon. Liam & Jess

Birthday weekend

Very cute little electric pod. Nice and private in a remote area. Lovely walk to the reservoir through the woods in the area.

Remote site, offering wild camping with basic amenities

Friendly hosts running a great site, with varied pitches and some amazing views.
