Just returned from spending a week at Nantcol over the jubilee weekend.
The site is set in beautiful surroundings and perfectly placed to explore both mountains and beaches.
The camping field was nice & flat. It wasn't too busy when we arrived so we had a good choice of where to pitch. The ground is firm with quite a few buried rocks which proved tricky to get pegs in. Thankfully we had rock pegs. Delta pegs went in easily too.
Our two year old thoroughly enjoyed splashing in the stream and exploring the the nature trail.
The weather was mixed at the start of the week degrading to rain at the end. Be warned it is midgy misery when the fine weather does return. Being able to light a campfire helps but they are canny creatures and always find a way to get a bite in. Might be worth the site investing in those midgy traps that some areas of Scotland use.
The toilets were clean and never seemed to have to queue for the ladies but hubby said there was always a queue for the mens in the morning. Hooks on the back of toilet doors to hang your wash bag & towel on if you need the loo before heading to the showers. Showers were 50p for 5 mins and were clean & hot. Small stool for keeping dry clothes off wet floor in the shower. Always had to queue for a shower as only 3 in the ladies. Washrooms were excellent. Made it so easy to get my 2 year old washed and changed for bed. 3 basins with electric sockets at each.
Pot washing area was excellent. Plenty of room and I think 5 sinks in total. Some queuing here at busy periods but not for long.
The reception office sold cold drinks, sweets (including bags of marshmallows) and ice cream. They will also freeze your freezer blocks & charge your mobiles for free.
Every evening they rode round on a quad selling bags of logs for £4.
The Queen Victoria pub in Llanbedr served delicious food and was family friendly. Our 2 year old had a ball on their playground.
The site did get busy but it didn't feel over crowded and although there was some queuing it wasn't so bad.
Will go again but maybe at the extremes of the season to avoid the midges.

We visited this site over the early may bankholiday, for 3 nights.
We are a family of 4, with 2 children agd 6 and 4.
What an idyllic site this is! We had a fantastic weekend here.
The approach road is a little hairy with a caravan, as it is a single track, with a sheer drop down one side, just pray you don't meet oncoming traffic, as there are no passing points either!
I wouldn't let that put you off taking a caravan, as there is very little traffic (only from the camsite), and most people are in tents, not caravans, and the owners are very helpful!
We checked in and were shown to our pitch, which was allocated as we had electric hook up. Campers without hookup can pretty much pitch were they like! The owners were very friendly.
The toilets/showers are new and immaculate. I didn't use the showers as we have one in the caravan, so didn't make sense to pay 50p for one but others who were with us said they were excellent.
We made a campfire, they sell logs/marshmallows on the site (though little else, so bring your supplies with you!), it was great fun. The children enjoyed foraging for firewood in the woods behind the site, and looking for big stones to make the fire (there are plenty about the site)
The waterfalls are lovely, make sure you take wellies as we had great fun wading through the water.
We ventured off site into Barmouth, a traditional seaside town. Lovely clean beach with donkey rides. There is a fairground here too, and a nice little town to wander around.
A brilliant campsite and we will definitely be returning.

We came here after friends recommendation with 2 adults and 3 children (aged 15, 14, 6).
First impressions whilst driving up the steep narrow track was the beauty of the location. It looked absolutely wonderful. When booking in, the owner was friendly and very approachable.
I am led to believe that the new shower/toilet block was only opened a couple of months ago. It was spotless! The shower (50p card from shop) was piping hot and you get 5 minutes. There were 3 basins in the separate washroom, and the decor wouldn't have looked out of place in a hotel.
The site was pretty busy, and the kids were straight down to the river! The youngest spent all day making new friends and swinging into the river on a rope swing. The river where the kids all play is very safe. It is only thigh deep at the most for your average 6 year old, and is overlooked by the grass bank which is perfect for a spot of sunbathing. Make sure they have sturdy waterproof shoes on though, as some of the rocks underneath are quite sharp.
There is a convenience store in the village which sells all your essentials, and it is only a 10 minute drive either way to Barmouth or Harlech for the beaches, or markets. (UK sausage champion is on the way to Barmouth! Perfect for the evening BBQ)
In the evening, after the BBQ, we built a campfire and toasted marshmallows. KIds absolutely loved it and will be back probably next month!
Oh, remember to bring some bug repellant. There was absolutely no wind one night, and my legs were bitten to shreds!

We camped here (2 adults and our 18 month old) 12th - 19th May and had pretty much the whole campsite to ourselves, apart from at the weekend - it was great.
Aled and his wife were so lovely, chatty and helpful. We couldn't have been made to feel any more welcome.
Toilet blocks and shower facilities and washrooms all spotless!
Gorgeous scenery and beeches and campsite has no traffic noise. We loved it.
Got engaged whilst we were here, yet another reason to remember it forever and are sure we'll come back again one day.

My partner chose this campsite as it is one of the few that allows campfires. We knew that the campsite was located next to a waterfall (hence the name). What we didn't know was how stunning the site would be!
After a long drive (my first time driving on very narrow roads!) we were greeted by the very friendly and helpful Aled who showed us around and informed us that we could pitch our tent anywhere we liked! Bonus! We chose a lovely spot in the small field next to the river (handy for chilling bottles of cider).
The site is ideally located for exploring North Wales and Snowdonia and the local village has a brilliant little butchers and shop. The family that own it are very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to help us when we wanted to extend our stay over the weekend of the Royal Wedding.
The boys go around the campsite of an evening on their quadbike selling bags of firewood for £4. The showers are clean and have plenty of hot water (50p for 5 mins) although I believe that a new shower block has just been constructed.
We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely be staying at Nantcol Waterfalls again when we next go to North Wales.

We stayed on this beautiful site for a few nights. Fabulous location - out in the wilds but stuning scenery. Lovely walks along the river / stream and views of the waterfalls. Just opened an additional shower / toilet block that the site needs as did get busy over the Bank Holiday. The owner allows open fires and even comes round in the early evening with cut fire wood for £4 per bag. Showers are on a card basis at 50 pence each available for the little reception area which the owner appears to open mornings & evenings.
Hook ups available along with easy access to water taps. Easy to get to Shell Island, Harlech etc. Little village with two small convienece shops and a very good local butcher - ideal for the bar b q. No hard standings but firm ground and easy on & off access. If you like the basic beautiful camp site setting this one is for you !
