Don't normally comment on the www unless something or someone is exceptional good or bad. I stayed at Hendwr in Sept 2012 In a tent with my dog Saxon. It ticked all the boxes. The site has beautiful views and is at one with nature. Just imagine sitting in your tent with a view of the hills listening to a chatty wood pigeon while the stream flows gently past, then later on listening to the owls. (Just one bit of advice if pitched in a tent near the stream be prepared for a couple of visits in the night to the fab loo's. )
The shower blocks are excellent. They have a heater in to warm the block up while you shower and the water soooo hot Yeh. Just perfect for the wet, damp summer we've had. Every where was clean and well kept. The previous person mentioning about the water tasting bad, I never found that at all nor did I smell anything in the toilet block. But fair do's if it was the week after it might have something to do with the rain. I also felt safe which is very important travelling on my own.
They have a good little shop with everything you would need plus a lot of information for places to visit the time open was a bit short but I'm sure if you needed anything they would come up for it. Saxon would like to Thankyou for all the attention he got and made so welcome which really meant a lot to me When you arrive you say hello to the camp staff but when you leave you say goodbye to friends. A must visit at least once for total escapism.

While there is no doubting the friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, and the general cleanliness of the site, there are a few reasons why Hendwr would not be my first choice again in the general area.
As can be seen from their website it is mainly a large mobile homes park (I hope that's the right word, they are like static caravans but much larger).
The campsite area is a long strip down one side of the above, separated from it by a stream. Short stay tourers and motorhomes have a choice of numbered pitches along the stream bank, where there is a view of mobile homes along the far bank while seasonal tourers are cheek by jowl in an unbroken line all the way along the outer side. Very few of these were occupied during my stay. So it's not the most picturesque spot in my opinion.
Further down the site there is a tapering field with pitches for tents, and here the view is more attractive, if you ignore an initial bank of solar panels to one side, but it is quite open with no shelter from winds.
While there was no additional charge for the showers, which were excellent with adjustable temperature and non-fixed heads, there was a strong chemical smell in the second toilet block (I didn't get to use the main one) that I found quite offputting, and it was the same in the dishwashing room in the same building.
Hopefully not down to the owners' but the drinking water from the taps on the site tasted absolutely foul, it was the most strongly treated water I have ever encountered.
Finally, the entrance to the site is right on a bend on the B4401, resulting in an extremely limited view of anything coming as you pull out, particularly from the right. Fortunately the road is far from busy.

Just returned from a couple of days camping at Hendwr. I must admit I was slightly put off by the previous reviews regarding the showers and toilets, but was delighted to find that they have been recently refurbished.
The results are good: two blocks with new floors, sinks, toilets and showers. The one nearest the camping area was clean and the showers were powerful, each within its own changing cubicle with a mirror etc.
The camping area was in a great position, next to a stream, just a field away from the river.
The whole site looked good for dogs (I didn't have mine with me): there's an additional large field where most people exercised theirs.
nly downpoint was the very limited shop opening hours, but that wasn't really an issue for me.

Another great stay, the scouts love it here they keep wanting to go back. They really enjoy the stream and the access to the river is good, we did a lot of Kayaking.
We stay on the field as we have a large group. The scouts can set up footie and other large games without having to worry.
We like the showers lovely hot water, much better than tha makeshift ones under the tree.
John and Debbie always help us with any thing we need they are very friendly and accommodating especially with the tuck shop.

The site is midway between the villages of Cynwyd and Llandrillo. There is a long lane down between the trees which opens out at reception.
A large well kept static park one side and separate touring and camping fields. On the touring field there are approx 20-25 seasonal vans and plenty of room for a further 10-15 tourers. Only 3 hardstandings and the ground is fairly boggy.
Sadly agree with previous comments the showers / toilets are very poor. There are 3 blocks, all old but its the cleanliness aspect. Although we saw the cleaners go in - its didn't look much different after.
In the toilet cubicles the floor is mopped in the centre and 3-4 weeks of grime and cobwebs remains round the edges. The showers ran cold and the lack of soap in toilets is really something they could address in minutes.
Having said all this the owners were lovely people, very friendly and helpful.
It would appear they work on a take it as you find it basis which is a shame as with a bit of cleaning this could be an excellent site. At £18 per night they need to make this better value for money.
On a positive note the owner recommended we ate in the Berwyn restaurant in Llandrillo - absolutely superb food, serve and atmosphere would really recommend.

This site has spectacular views and has a shallow brook running through it, which is ideal for children to paddle in.
The field is large will ample space between vans, a good sized grass area in middle, where children can play safely. The shop on site is small and but sells most basic items. The one thing that did let the site down though, were the shower/toilet block, they were grim. Not cleaned on a daily basis, to be honest it must have been some time since the toilets had seen any bleach. In the showers there was no curtains and in one of the cubicles there was nowhere to hang your clothes. I was the only one out of 6 adults and 2 children, who braved the showers, and I only did it the once! Also no soap to wash your hands ! We did make our feelings known to the lady on the site but unfortunately things didn't get any better. Such a same as the site is lovely and the people who run it are very nice people.
