Medium Tent - Small Grass Tent Pitch (Optional Electric)Jul 2024

We have loved our stay. It's a great site, well located for us wanting to explore the Mach loop and having the beautiful Torrent Walk on the doorstep is perfect. We enjoyed a walk there every evening. It has been quite a wet week and I think if the site had been busier, or if there had been anymore rain, it would have been a very muddy site, not a problem if you are pitched along the road side. The site is so accommodating for so many different campers and groups, but I would recommend checking the dates for any festivals in Dolgellau as over the weekend, the site had a lot of very loud very drunk youngsters camping in large groups coming back very loudly at 2am. There was a member of staff trying her best to get them quiet but without much success, I understand why so many sites don't allow group bookings. Toilet and shower facilities were great and near most pitches, plenty of hot water. Pitches were a great size. Overall a lovely stay and we will be back.

A great little family campsite, even though I was a solitary male camping. It was a wonderful stay and I shall certainly be heading back with my kids in tow.

Great location not far from town centre and food places, pubs and shops. Ideal if you want to go to other places like Bala etc. Facilities are spotless, cleaner on site from morning until late at night, keeping facilities spotless. Fridge and freezer to share, washing machine and dryer and microwave and kettle. Sinks to wash dishes. Free hot showers, men and women, with overspill showers when busy. Site has camping caravan pitches, lodges etc.

Medium Tent - Small Grass Tent Pitch (Optional Electric)Jun 2024

The campsite is very convenient for Cadir Idris if you are intending to climb it. Do not use this site if you want peace & quiet as it is situated next to a very busy road. I would recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper. There is a rule that noise is kept to a minimum after 11pm, but this was not followed by the usual type of selfish campers and not enforced as well as I would like. I did enjoy the site as the facilities were great & clean, but have no intention of returning because of the road.

Fantastic site

Great site and fantastic location, could not get much better. A notice board with details of walks, bike rides and how to get to the bike park. I had a great time, love the site. Thanks, will be back. Just one thing, why are the urinals running all the time with hot water, must cost a lot.

Superb campsite

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Small Grass Tent Pitch (Optional Electric)May 2024

A very busy site, we arrived and the pitch we were given wasn't very flat for our campervan. I went to the office where I was greeted by a tattooed Polish lady who was fantastic, so helpful and couldn't do enough for our needs - a very valuable member of staff.

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding PitchesApr 2024

Only our second of three site visits for our first motorhome trip. We booked it for the location in Wales, which was beautiful, despite the rain and mud. Basic site (compared to the others visited), amenities need some TLC but they were functional.

Site's response

Thank you for your comments. We are awaiting a brand new shower block which should have been in place the beginning of April, but unfortunately we were let down by the supplier.

Nice pitch. Facilities very good. Near to town, about a mile ish. Horses in the fields, wild birds and ducks etc. A little noise from the main road about half a mile away, but nothing too bad.

Basic facilities. Very muddy field that was difficult to park on. Very clean toilet and shower facilities (ladies). Starbucks 7 mins walk away and 25 mins into town.

Thank you for your review. Sorry about the mud, we have been hit with some typical Welsh weather in the run up to what will hopefully be a sunny summer.

Lovely little campsite

Very nice one night stay at Torrent Walk, with good facilities and a quiet evening, which was ideal as we stayed with our toddler. Nice local walks with the local Starbucks and fuel garage a few minutes walk away. It's also good that the showers are included in the price of your stay, whereas other sites charge extra. Would recommend the site.

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.

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!

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.
