Very Friendly owners who are excellent with children.
Lower field got a bit boggy but this was after a couple of weeks worth of rain. Pitches up by the shower block are nice and sheltered.
Drive slowly when attempting to find the site for the first time as the entrance is concealed if you are not expecting it.
Clean and tidy site.
Picturesque site , well worth a visit.

We had 2 weeks here at the begining of the school holidays, great as usual. Friendly owners, couldn't do enough for us. Lovely new toilets on the scout field. Wonderful for the children, freedom, safety and good old fashioned outdoor fun.
Next year could we order better weather please!

What can I say... it just gets better !
Last year we visited this site over 4 times n we have just spent another fab 10 days there, returning in Sept & Oct too. Marked improvement on the top field toilets from last year keep up the great improvements Hugh n Claire.
The site is in the middle of nowhere but in the center for everything. There is so much within only a few miles of the site if you want to go out n about or you can just laze the day away with the beautiful views.
Perfect site if you are into boating, skiing n fishing... very child friendly.
This is are 2nd year of visting this site & we look forward to many more to come. We have met soooo many great friends in Aberafon I wouldn't look at going anywhere else. The site owners have always been very friendly & helpful to us.. we couldn't ask for more

This was the third visit this year.
First found the site whilst looking for a weekend getaway to try new tent in May.
Site is in an Idyllic setting, with beatiful views of the Welsh mountains and over the Irish sea, fantastic sunsets.
Pitches are level and large, which is unusual on such a well priced site.
Site owners are extremely pleasant and helpful, as are most of the frequent campers on site.
Excellent site for my 4 children, very safe despite being so close to the sea, beach and sea access is very easy.
This is a site well worth visiting, it's not five star, but it works!
We will be returning a good many times in the future.
Thanks again Claire and Hugh!

We've just returned home from a magical holiday at this lovely site. The weather was kind to us and the sun shone all week, there seems to be some sort of microclimate - perhaps it's sheltered by the mountains.
We had never been camping before and after the first night I was wishing I'd done it years ago. For the fainthearted, I'd say try five days! We were completely amazed by the setting, the best thing was the sunsets and the shooting stars!
I would agree with much of the above - our 8 year old loved the play area, the ducks, the beach, the goats. We found everything to be adequate for the price charged.
Now planning a return as soon as possible. Thanks Hugh and Clare!

Just one word absolutely fantastic, we where situated on the cliff edge near the slip way 18 of us went all with children ranging from 6-12, a little bit windy on the friday night but we coped it rained all night and into saturday morning, but then the sun shon and it was great with the speed boat anyone who is into this would love it great location, the only downside is that the toilets on the lower field by the slip way could do with some updating and possibly do with putting a hand basin to wash hands after being the toilet, also with paying £10 per night and having to pay 30p for a five min shower is a bit unacceptable, however we are planning on going back possibly in august so it can't be that bad can it.

We have just returned from a weekend in our trailer tent here.

We had a fabulous pitch - on a little field on our own - fabulous.

Toilets and showers very clean and smelled good, nice little playground for the kids, and very friendly owners.

We are definately going back to this site!

We arrived on the friday of the Back Holiday to a lovely campsite, set in the mountains near the beach. As we set the tent up it was very windy, so I suggest that you ask to be in the lower field. Our pitch was on a slight hill and I wasn't happy that we were on a cliff with a 40ft drop, not good with young children. I couldn't relax knowing that that was there right at the back of our tent.
The first night was freezing, due to the wind, so take plenty of woolies. The wash facilities arn't great, the showers where dirty at times.
Nice beach but not much sand. The shop was small to say the least and only open for two hours a day, so go to the supermarket before you go.
Takeaway food, expensive and misleading as the owner appeared to reheat it in her microwave.
Could do with a new playarea. Overall nice site but would`nt go out my way to go back there.

Entrance to the site is absolutely beautiful, a winding path that goes down through trees and a stream running by with ducks and geese. Very friendly greeting by the owners, the site is very clean with everything you need although the shop is very small.
We pitched right next to the stream which is incredibly relaxing and seems to lull you to sleep. Kids loved the ducks and the play area and the fact that the sea is so close to the site.
We had no problem taking the dog which was allowed on the beach for a run. Already booked to return for Whitsun holiday. Highly recommended!

Friendy polite owners, really scenic views, basic toilets/showers, although new a toilet block has been built in the top middle field near park area. shop hours could be increased, cheap price, although weather can get a bit windy (don't let this put you off though as there are secluded parts, only negative point is the access road to the site, very steep & winding. Ask the site to tow caravans. Overall very good quiet site , highly recommended. 8/10

New for 2004, the "Top Field" toilets have been completely refurbished as part of an ongoing programme of improvements. We hope this will enhance your enjoyment whilst visiting Aberafon.

In a beautiful location and run by a very friendly family. I agree about the toilets, they need updating and the entrance to the campsite was pretty but very steep and winding...felt sorry for motor home and caravan owners. As it was our first camping holiday I had my doubts but we had a brilliant time and would definately return[picnic tables were also available free on a first come first served basis which was very useful

A beautiful site well worth visiting for the setting.

One word of caution when walking to the beach, beware of the concrete slipway as I ended up on my backside and noted several others who nearly met the same fate.

Hubby wants me to mention that the access road was bumpy and narrow, you wouldn't like to meet a caravan coming the other way!
The site was becoming busy on our last day and it can feel a little cramped.
Nevertheless despite the above comments we are planning another visit here.

Wonderful site. Steep hill to navigate with a van. Use the service provided of allowing the sight to drive your van/trailer down well worth the money. The wash facilities are basic and let the overall quality down.
Great family site for familys and those who like messing around in boats. 


Reviewer: Malcolm

 July 2003
Fantastic location, cosy fields, but some locations will probably be exposed.

Showers and WCs are scruffy and need attention. They let the place down. One evening we were there they were being cleaned for 20 min each at 9.00pm, with people waiting. Not ideal.

Nevertheless, we would go back.
