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"

Camping Pod - Camping Pods (Dog Friendly)Sep 2025

We only stayed for 1 of 2 night due to our child being unwell, however it was a lovely cozy cabin on a well run campsite. The lady we spoke to as we left was very kind and understanding of the situation which we appreciated!
