 Just back from (a very windy) 4 nights at this fabulous site.
Take all the good comments in all the other reviews and add the gorgeous free-range eggs to buy, and that when my car couldn't pull my caravan up the slope due to wet grass and tyre-spin, as Bryn had taken lambs to market, Lizzie enlisted the help of a friendly neighbour (a car journey away) to get me onto the level, then Lizzie escorted us down the narrow lane to Llanfair to ensure we didn't meet any traffic coming up. My mom and I felt like royalty!
Wonderful hosts and a brilliant neighbour. Thank you all.

We have just returned from a wonderful couple of days at Merthyr Farm. It took us three trips around the mountain to find it as some numpty didn't print off the owners directions, so lesson learnt - follow the owners directions! The site itself is peaceful and the facilities, although basic, are far superior than some we've seen and, most importantly for me, were scrupulously clean. The owners are very friendly and we were able to pitch our tent where we wanted to with the most spectacular views and sunsets. Lots of room for the children to play ball games without annoying the neighbours and our pitch was flat although a bit stony (bent tent pegs)! Harlech is a pretty little place with useful shops for stocking up on basics and we had some really tasty fish and chips one night from the local chippy.
To conclude - steep narrow roads to get to it but well worth the trouble for the location and views. One thing to bear in mind is that it can get quite windy; we were incredibly lucky with the weather except for one very blowy night when I had to go and check all the guy ropes at 3 a. M. , but that's another story.

Just spent 4 nights here loved the location if you want spectacular views and even more amazing sunsets then this is the site for you as the site is very open it can get a little windy, so we picked a pitch with a bit of shelter as the weather was a mix of sunshine rain and one night very misty facilities are a little basic but always clean and adequate but it was very quiet when we were there so no queues at £16 a night including EHU very good value we found the owners very friendly and children will love the array of farm animals
The site is about 2 miles up country lanes from Harlech suggest you stay to the owners directions tried alternative routes theirs was the safest
Having stayed in the area before can suggest a drive to Barmouth plenty of shops and a nice beach Port Meirion is also worth a visit makes a nice day out not to expensive would I visit again the answer would be yes

Wonderful campsite. Most amazing views, the landscape covers mountains, sea, beaches and more and changes with the weather and light.
Peaceful, private and quiet with friendly hosts.
Just what we wanted, small, informal with lots of hot water and good showers, bike storage and excellent walks from the site
Need dry non- windy weather (which we had)
Harlech hosts excellent coffee and food shops, beautiful long beach, and numerous walks and places to visit easy access to the Llyn Penninsula and great cycle ride in Barmouth
Definitely come here again, we loved ot

We have just returned from 2 weeks at this wonderful campsite and cannot wait to go back. The owners are very friendly and accomadating. The facilities are clean and work brilliantly. The views from this site are amazing. We were joined on many occasions by some sheep and they keep the grass nicely manicured. The very free range chickens run to meet you so take some bread. The peace and quiet is amazing and it was all together a wonderful site. Real camping with excellent facitities.

We visited this site last year. We enjoyed it so much we decided to come back again this year.
The site is well off the beaten track, which is why we picked it. Saying that, it is fairly straight forward to find if you follow the owners' directions, and there are some amazing views along the way. Harlech is only a few minutes drive away.
There are four camping fields, two of which have EHU available. The EHU pitches are terraced and are good sizes. They are reasonably level, though quite stony in places. We were there when Hurricane Bertha visited. Being high up and quite exposed, I was a little worried. It got quite windy, but there were no problems.
Being so high up means there are fantastic views across the bay towards Porthmadog and Criccieth, and some amazing sunsets!
The facilities are perfectly adequate for the site, and better than some I have been to. There are two family sized shower rooms (shower/sink/toilet), two other toilets and a separate shower. There was always plenty of hot water, and they were always clean and well provisioned. The kitchen area consists of a sink, double drainer, fridge/freezer, washer and dryer. Again, this area was kept clean and tidy, and there was always a bottle of washing up liquid available in case you didn't have your own.
The site is well placed for all the attractions in that part of North Wales. We regularly visited Porthmadog, and even went as far as Llangollen and Llandudno.
Lizzie and Bryn are extremely friendly and helpful, and the family do a fantastic job running the site. We really enjoyed our stay, and would have no hesitation in recommending Merthyr Farm. We look forward to our next visit.

A fine, quiet and well located site. Although this is on the side of a HUGE hill, the field which I was in was tiered. The plot was level enough, but could have done with being a smidge wider to allow my tent to be pitched on one level. As it was, one edge of the tent landed on the slope up to the next pitch. Saying that, it was really a problem, it just meant that I could get everything symmetrical.
The Good bits.
The views are spectacular. The owners are very friendly and I found it amusing to wake up to find sheep nibbling on the grass outside the tent. The toilets/shower block are basic (as most campsites are), but clean and spacious. No problems there.
Not so good bits.
The only thing I can think of is the road to the campsite, which is very tight at places. FOLLOW THE ROUTE ON THEIR WEBSITE!
So, in a nutshell, it was a very pleasant stay and I would recommend this site.

Great campsite with amazing views and sunsets owned by a happy, friendly family. We received a warm welcome and as site was not to busy we were able to select our own pitch. The owners Lizzie and Bryn were helpful and approachable. The facilities were kept spotless and cleaned twice a day. As it's on a hill it is a windy site. My daughter (6) loves animals and enjoyed the company of the farmer's dog and all the animals. The highlight of her stay was being taken around to feed and stoke the animals.

What a fantastic site! We have not camped for years and are wondering what took us so long. This amazing site is a couple of miles from the main road high up in the hills. The spectacular views have to be seen to be believed. The owners work on the farm, there are eggs for sale and animals all around. Having owned up on arrival to having a rather pathetic two person tent, the owner suggested the perfect spot-sheltered but stunning-and our two nights' stay was wonderful. We felt like we had been away for ages- in a good way! Harlech is a short drive away, as is a lovely beach with a great cafe nearby at Llandanwg. Unbeatable site for views, setting and peaceful, low-key atmosphere. Watching the lights come on along the estuary as we drank a toast to our re-discovered joy of camping-memorable!We will be back

This is by far the best campsite we've ever visited. It was our second time (first time in 2011) and again we were impressed by the stunning views. The site is well away from the crowded caravan parks and the beaches are wide enough for everybody. We promised the owners to write this review but we'd rather keep this beautiful spot for ourselves. So don't tell too many people about it and just enjoy the clean and spacious facilities with enough warm water for which the owners trust you to be sensible in use. Enjoy the enormous variety in walks around the campsite (climb Moel Ysgarnagod, a worthwhile day walk right from the campsite). Enjoy the working farm. For us it's fascinating to watch the people working together with the sheep dog to move sheep from one field to another. Enjoy the very spacious pitches, especially when you don't need electricity. We had a pitch on the top field and we loved the quiet and peaceful spot only 'disturbed' by sheep.

We have just returned from a wonderful 2 night stay. This site had the most stunning views and is really peaceful and relaxing.
The owners are friendly and helpful. Our 5 year old daughter loved walking through the fields with the sheep, cows, chickens and ducks.
The roads to get to the site are narrow and the sat nav took us the back route on the way there which was interesting! The owners are happy for you to call ahead and will give you the best route avoiding the tricky roads.
The toilets and showers were clean. We had no complaints at all during our stay. We only have positive things to say!
Overall we would highly recommend this site and we look forward to returning soon!
Thankyou!
Lindsay, Steve & Isabelle Johnson

What a gem. This campsite is well out of the way from the crowds, 3 miles out of Harlech, perched on top of the hill overlooking the coast and estuary. The views are stunning and for a complete 360 degree view there's a short climb to the top of the hill nearby. The facilities at the camp site are excellent. The hard-working farmer and his family keep the showers and little kitchen spotless. The showers are mini wash rooms with the best showers, with hot water, hand soap and towels provided. Perfect for getting the kids showered after a full day out. The fridge/freezer was very useful. There was a washer and drier but we didn't need it. There's loads of hookup if required and a separate field for those who don't need electricity. There's loads of space for the kids to let off steam. Over all I really like this camp site and hope to return some time.

Just spent the most wonderful few days here with my husband. We originally planned to stay for one night then move on but it was so special we stayed for three.
What struck us initially was the wonderful views over Portmerion and down into the nearby coastal town of Harlech. They really are spectacular.
The site itself is really lovely. It's peaceful and relaxing. The facilities are ample for the size of site and kept clean and we'll looked after. There was plenty of hot water and no charge for showers. It was fantastic to have a fridge in which to keep our perishables.
The owners were friendly but unintrusive.
We had a wonderful walk through fields and woodland to Harlech. Be warned its hard work but we'll worth it if you're relatively fit. The dunes and golden sandy beach at Harlech are well worth a visit.
All in all a memorable visit and we will definitely come again!

Just stayed for 1 week at Merthyr Farm
Clean facilities plenty of hot water and showers, busy site all week but no queues.
Lots of friendly campers and caravanners.
Views are stunning and it's worth the twenty minute walk to the top of the Bridge to get a 360 view of the whole area.
Lizzie and Bryn always on hand for advice and Tescos delivers to site if required.
This is our 4th visit and we will return.
Lots to do in the surrounding area and places to visit, great base to holiday from.
Follow the instructions to access the site if towing and there's no problems.

This place feels like a real campsite. It is just a campsite with no fairgrounds or Olympic sized swimming pools and 5000 rules.
We stayed for one night on a cycle trip. I wished we had stayed more.
Harlech Castle and shops are a short drive away and the site is close to the beaches and mountains of North Wales, Portmeirion and the Welsh Highland Railway. In my opinion this is one of the finest tourist areas in the country.
The showers and sinks worked well, and the owners were ever so helpful and friendly.
The views from the campsite are tremendous as it is quite high up. I can testify to this having climbed as part of the Lon Las Cymru cycle route.
In short - this place is wonderful.
