This is quite a basic campsite but what a location! At the foot of Cadair Idris, at the start of the Minfford path, with the cafe within a short walk (although beware, it isn't always open when it is supposed to be!) and the Gwesty Minfford Hotel less than 10 minutes away, a great place to have an evening meal (or any other meal as they are open for food all day). The owner is helpful and friendly and runs the Heritage Centre next door.
The facilities consist of one outdoor cold tap, 2 toilets and 2 showers (20p for 3 minutes): surprisingly, the only toilet with a sink and mirror is designated the men's! Best not to expect toilet paper or soap. If you accept all this (reflected in the price), this is a great family campsite. The owner is quite tough with late-night revellers. There is a stream running by the campsite which my boys love to play in. Be aware that the RAF regularly practice low flying over the valley. Fighters only seem to come by during the day but a large cargo plane (Hercules?) comes over during weekday nights. Otherwise, very peaceful and relaxing.

Visited in early May in appalling weather. The site is rough and un-mown with a small gravel area which passes as the 'hardstanding'. There is only one EHU post so if you want to hookup you will have close(ish) neighbours.
Facilities 'tired'- clean enough but dingy.
I thought he site was very expensive for the quality of facilities available- £6-50 per person PLUS ££4-50 for EHU PLUS a charge for the dog ! There is an addition charge for the showers.
Having said all that the location is great- particularly if you plan to climb Cader Idris as the Minfforadd path passes the site.
The is a pub about 10 mins walk away but no shops in the vicinity.

Me and a friend stayed at this camp site, while on a 'camping holiday' around the area,this was the last site we stayed on and it was enjoyable, having stayed previously at cae du (near barmouth) where it was over priced, not many facilities and the land was terrible.
However, at dol einion,
2 showers, didn't personally use them but they look clean,
2 toilets I found the second one was nicest.
Situated in a lovely place, a 10 min walk to the lake and pubs, and at the foot of cadeadris.
However, being right next to a river, e found there were lots of midges and this surprisingly made it difficult, however I appreciate nothing can be done about this,
The grass was ok when we stayed,
The only problems that were encountered was no-where to wash up (vital in a tent) and only one water point.
For me this site was great for one night and a lovely owner who plays a harp very well! we could well stay again but maybe not right next to the river! I was pleased to get away in the morning, as I woke up covered in water!

Location of this camp site is great, right at the foot of one of the paths to cadar idris. Great views, next to quite road, just up the road from large lake.
Owner very knowledgeable about local area.
No local shops but is a bar and restaurant at hotel next to lake.
2 toilets,
Only one of the toilets has a sink (no hot water, only cold). No dryers or towels in toilets to dry hands.
Had to keep taking own loo roll to toilets as half the time there wasn't any in the toilets.
2 showers (20p for 3 mins)
Showers could do with shower curtains in them as it's a problem keeping your clothes dry while in the shower.
Grass on the site is a bit long (could do with cutting, about 1 foot high in places).
Has four electric hook ups (all on one post, on end pitch, so if your on the pitch at other end you will need a very long lead).
No washing up sinks for campers, seen some campers using cold water tap at the water supply tap to wash up.
Hard standing's are just some stone chips on the grass.
As last review said, not cheap (cost me £22 per night) and could do with a bit of care and general attention (then could be a really nice site).

Site is just of the B road - but no real traffic noise. Right next door to the Cader Idries carpark so very handy for walkers.
5 CL and also takes tents - but 3 caravans appear to have been on site for a good few years.
Hardstanding was really grass with some stone chips - but ok. Tent side of field looked a bit boggy.
2 showers / 2 toilets - no sink in toilets or showers. £1 to use showers - we didn't so couldn't say how good they are.
No washing up area for campers - those there seemd to rinse under the water supply tap. No chemical disposal - just lift the manhole cover and straight into the drains.
Website says allows campfires but we were told this is only in the winter.
Overall at £19 a night not cheap - and very basic facilities. Beautiful views and very close to Cader Idsitr and Tal y Llyn walks but the site could do with a bit of care and general attention.
