 My husband and I spent a week at this beautiful site in August. We were very close to the stream which was lovely to wake up to each morning. The site is well maintained, and the farmer, and his family are all very friendly.
Nothing is too much trouble for them. There are clean toilets and although there is only one shower available at a small cost of 20p x 3 minutes, there was never a queue even though the site was full. There are sinks outside with draining boards for customers to wash their dishes.
As it is a working farm there are working dogs which will of course bark as dogs do that, but only usually when someone was passing. There are bins provided both for rubbish and recycling. If you want to have a pleasant stay on a friendly working farm and get involved if you want to then book on this site.
In my opinion it is excellent value for money and I highly recommend a stay at Cwmrhwyddfor Farm for camping and caravans.

Great location, deep in green valley, so no mobile signal. Good value at 15 pounds including elec, sites right next to stream, facilities o k but no hot water for washing up and had to pay for hot water to wash and shower.
Convenient for climbing Cader Idris, and lots of other hill walks around. Pub within walking distance although road is busy. Friendly farmer & facilities kept clean, will return soon.

We have just recently stayed at this site for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay immensely,
The site is situated in the most beautiful surroundings with lots of walks/hill climbing to keep you occupied. Yes there is no signal for mobile phones at the site but a short walk / drive and you can get a signal.
The owner's were very friendly and regularly checked / cleaned the toilet facilities, however the only thing I found disappointing was the toilets did not have any soap.
This is a working farm and yes the dogs did bark but only as someone entered or left the site.
Beautiful surroundings, friendly owners, peaceful, would strongly recommend a visit.

We stayed here for one night in June as the campsite is situated very close to the beginning of the walk up Cadair Idris.
The location of the site is excellent as there is a really great pub (Gwesty Minffordd) ten minutes walk down towards the lake where the food is great and the owner very friendly.
If you're interested in planes (which my other half is) it is also a great spot to see the RAF on their practice sessions.
The biggest bonus of course though is the proximity to the beginning of the Cadair Idris walk which is just next to the Gwesty Minffordd.
The owners were friendly and the camping is cheap- £5 pounds each.
I agree with other reviewers that the facilities aren't great and could be improved, I don’t think I’d camp here for more than a couple of days. However, I'd much prefer to stay somewhere quiet and beautiful such as this rather than a bustling campsite with power showers etc. The lack of facilities is also reflected in the low price.

A beautiful site, helpful owners, if you want peace and tranquility and don't mind the very basic facilities it is a must.
Other reviews have said the dogs bark a lot, we did not find this a problem, they only barked for a short while if someone arrived, or they were going out to work the sheep.
We stayed here and were the only occupied van.
The shower/toilets are cleaned daily and only get in a mess if other thoughtless people make them untidy.
I would definitely visit this site again for it's peaceful environment.

Nice small farm based site with separate tent and caravan areas. The toilets are very basic and only 1 shower (1 in the men's and 1 in the ladies) which operates on 20p's for 3min.
Hot water in the sinks is the same, but washing up and washing yourself share the same sinks. Otherwise they were kept clean. Despite being close to the main road the caravan area was undisturbed by traffic noise, however the camping area is much nearer.
Bewarned, there is little or no mobile phone signal on any UK network, anywhere on the site. We enjoyed our 3 day stay in March 2011.
Our caravan was sited next to the stream, and waking up to the sound of running water was lovely.
Dogs are allowed, and electric hook up is available at additional charge. Camp fires are also allowed. The site is basic, but clean and value for money.

We stayed for three nights in August. Should have been four but the weather on night three (torrential rain and gales) defeated us! We stayed in the main camping field. It was just about empty so we were able to find a pitch on one of the flat bits of the field - it is quite sloping in places.
The main problem we experienced was that the access track into the camping field only goes about a quarter of the way into the field. In dry weather driving on the field is fine but a bit of rain does reduce it to soggy quagmire quite quickly! We followed the advice of a previous reviewer and parked our car on the side of the track with two wheels on the tarmac thus ensuring we were able to get out.
The farmer seemed a friendly bloke who would tow you out if you did get stuck though! The caravan part of the site had a much better lay out with a decent track along its length and in some respects its a shame the owners don't look after their camping clients as well as they do their caravaners.
The washing facilities were a bit on the basic side. One block divided into two (male & female) with a single shower in each. Good job the site wasn't busy! Showers cost 40p for six minutes - the ladies shower didn't work though - and even hot water to wash your hands cost 20p! There were no washing up facilities either.
The location was fantastic though and very handy for Cader Idris. It was rather remote though with the nearest shops on Machylleth 6-8 miles away so not a place to run out of milk!
To sum up, I'd say the site is fine for a short stay if you're touring but I wouldn't want to base myself there for any period of time due to the basic facilities and remoteness.

The owners were extremely friendly, helpful & pleasant. The elderly man sits in his little car at site entrance & escorts you to the field on arrival. Stunning location with cader idris as a magnificent backdrop.
We went for lots of great walks and collected wood for our evening fire. Beautiful walks. Not far from tal-y-llyn lake which is breathtaking (we nicknamed it the mirror lake).
Make sure you have lots of supplies as there are no shops around. Garage is about 10 min drive away. Dolgelleau centre about 15-20mins.
Basic facilities, but farmer is constantly popping to toilet block cleaning & making sure they are stocked with toilet roll etc
Working farm so expect the noises & smells that go with it (which I love). They herded the sheep through our field on the last morningch the dogs herding them of our stay, was great to watch the dogs rounding them up.
Would definitely recommend this site

Stayed 3 nights at Cwmrhwyddfor in our motorhome. The site was fabulous - tucked right under Cadair Idris and by a crystal clear mountain stream (the sound was wonderfully relaxing and we slept like a dream).
Some children had caught a brown trout and it had expired before they put it back in the stream, so we had it for breakfast! We were met by Mr Nutting (Snr) who showed us to our hook-up and was extremely friendly - he even came to shake our hands and say goodbye.
Mr Nutting (Jnr), who was the farmer, came each day (at least three times) and attended to the toilet block.
Facilities were limited, one shower and 2 toilets in the ladies. But, the whole essence of this particular site was its location (walk directly up Cadair without driving to start point), the stupendous scenery and the very friendly and informative hosts.
We would definitely go again. Ps. The dogs did bark but not consistently and not at night. We also found out that one of the farmer's sons was an experienced sheepdog trainer - how marvellous to find young people carrying on such amazing skills!

Beautiful location.Shame about the facilities.
There were cob webs everywhere with bugs caught up in them. No soap or toilet roll supplied. Hot water was available at a cost of 20p which is not too bad but when you consider the one and only sink in the ladies toilet was for washing dishes, other campers used this sink for cleaning their boots!
There was a shower at a cost of 20p for 3 mins but I didn't use it due to the mouldy shower mat which when moved had wood lice underneath.
I think this could be improved with a simple paint and tidy up and another suggestion which other sites use is to leave a mop and brush so people can clean up after themselves. Not much to ask for? However this was a very cheap site at only £10 per tent per night. I wouldn't have paid any more.
No local shops nearest is Dollgelau however there is a very nice pub just 10 mins walk.
