Liked: One of my fave sites so far on our Welsh road trip Wow! What views from this site. Up a narrow track and as a lot of the site is higher up, you get great views of the hills and across to Llyn. Lovely lady who runs it gave us loads of info on walks and things to do which was great as we’d arrived more as a stopover than a place to explore. How wrong we were. Would definitely come back to the site to explore more of the local area. X Loos and showers and washing up all good and way better than many other sites which charge more for a pitch! Washing up facilities have decent water pressure and nice and hot too. Great recycling facilities and lots of tables and BBQs dotted around. Bring your own wood or charcoal as an evening with these views around a fire would be fab. Oh and there’s owls to keep you company too. All this and in the national park 😍 P.S. SatNav and directions are accurate BUT it’s easy to pass the site entrance (we did it twice 🥹). When coming from inland, as soon as you see the sign, slow down and take a left. Also signed for the village hall. It’s a narrow track just before the parking spaces and easy to miss as slightly hidden by hedges.
Disliked: That we only stayed a night. That’ll be rectified on our next trip here

Liked: Really beautiful site. We were the only ones staying in the main field so had our pick of where to pitch up. For the most part the weather held up so after dinner we had a beer, watched the bats fly round and heard the owls wake up. Loo block is nice and clean and there are little touches that a lot of sites forget - like somewhere to put your wash bag that isn't the floor! Prefer not to pay for showers but I understand that some sites have to, either way the water was hot and pressure was great. Had a call with the owner when we arrived who recommended some nice walks, though we didn't have time to explore much. Definitely would visit again.
