 A very peaceful site in a beautiful location. Check in was a bit slow but friendly. Very relaxed site - pretty much pitch where you fancy. The shower block was functional (plentiful hot water) but could do with updating. Cold taps on basins very fierce! The washing up area was outdoor but we had good weather so not a problem. Less good in wet weather I imagine.
Downside - only one tap and the rubbish bins were located rather remotely from the camping fields. Shop useful for basics - lovely home made cakes! Launderette facilities good. Lovely walks around the site and good for dogs. Good base for exploring this beautiful area.
Nearest big shops we found - Morrisons in Aberystwyth and small, but well stocked Spar in Rhayader. Freezer packs could be left in shop - 20p each. Dog friendly pub (eat in public bar) good pub grub at "The George Borrow" in Ponterwyd (check out the waterfall) and good food at "The Miners Arms" in Pontrhyd y Groes - have their own dogs so not keen on dogs. But accommodated us when pushed.

A very picturesque site surrounded by lovely views and some lovely walks close by, the site is split into, I think, three touring fields all offering lovely views. The shower block was porta cabin style which were clean, but basic with push button taps and showers which seem to run for no more than about 10 seconds per push which can be a pain but were always hot and free.
There are play areas for the kids which only consisted of a couple of swings and a climbing frame in our field. Another couple of gripes was the walk to the bin drop offs and the one water tap.
Theres a shop / cafe on site which seemed more for gifts etc. than supplies and the cafe only sells fish and chips at the weekend which was a bit dissapointing as the nearest chippy and big supermarket is a 25 mile round trip to Aberystwyth.
Overall a very lovely part of wales to stay but for me a bit to remote which made it hard to keep the kids occupied when it rained, oh and dont forget the rock pegs as the ground is full of slate

Fantastic site - stayed a few times during 2007 which was our first year tenting. The site is clean and tidy, certainly receive a nice welcome. It is family friendly with a nice play areas in both the caravan field and in the tent field.
Some bench tables are available for use - we were lucky enough to have a pitch by one on the three occasions we have been there.
Lots of walks in the area, whether you walk up the hill on the site or up and down the falls - the larger of which takes some doing - make sure you have plenty to drink.
We travelled into Aberystywyth to access the beaches at Clarach Bay and Borth and also to pick up supplies in the larger stores available.
The site shop sells the bare essentials and there is a cafe attached, we didn't get around to trying this out.
The only downside is the toilet/shower block - a rather dated cabin, regularly cleaned though with toilet paper. Showers nice and hot at various times of the day and night.
I will certainly be returning to the site this year and for many years to come.

Excellent, views were amazing as was the trek to the top of the hill! plenty of things to do for our kids who are 11months - 16 years. The best fish and chips you will ever eat. There are really to many good things to say, so lets talk downside, ground, you need GOOD tent pegs, loo block needs updating, as do the dish washing facilities, and bins a bit closer to the tent field would be great, but these really are small problems as the positive things far out way the negatives, would I go again? 100% yes.

This was our first trip in a motorhome. this was our third site of our holiday. we found it quite large, with play areas both at the static caravan site as well as a more limited play area at the site of our pitch. It was also a little expensive compared to other sites we had been.
pros: proximity to Devil's bridge waterfalls
Cons: Outdoor washing up area. toilet block close to the farmyard behind- strong smell of manure.

A truly wonderful tranquil site, lovely views , wonderful countryside. We had a great week on the site with plenty to see and do locally and around about. The tea rooms did a great brekfast !!.
HOWEVER the only drawback was the toilet / shower block, we have definitely seen cleaner and better maintained, it was such a shame as it is truly a great location but better care could be given to the cleanliness.

Nice rural campsite with lovely scenery ... however make sure you bring strong tent pegs as the ground is very rocky we had to move pitches because we couldn't get our tent pegs in !!! Toilets and showers were kept very clean but the washing up sink (the only one) is outdoors so it could be intersesting queing in the rain...Plenty of space for the kids to run round with a couple of play areas ..we had bad weather when we there but we may return next year , overall a good site with just a few drawbacks

After reading the reviews we were really looking forward to our visit. The setting was lovely with the bleeting of sheep and the soaring red kites to watch. The camping field was fairly small, a dozen tents was top of comfortable limit leaving the centre free for kids to play. Another 6-8 tents could share across the road with the electric hook-ups. Could only hear the farm dogs barking on occassion and never over night.....the sheep made sure of that! Agree with the comment about the hard ground but did find soft patches if adjusted guy-rope lengths.
Highly disappointed with the porta-bathroom/toilets. Toilets and floor were the only areas seen cleaned, but there was toilet roll and soap and a free vacuum-looking hairdryer. Having to constantly press a button in reduced lighting whilst having a shower is no fun though! and stand back when using the cold tap on the sinks!
Finally... give Molly the horse something healthy to eat if you visit!

Oh what a lovely site. Fantastic setting and unnumbered field for tents. It got quite crowded at the weekend but during the week there was lots of space. it is obviously a favourite with families, and being a couple with no children this can sometimes make you feel rather unrelaxed, but not her. it was lovely to watch the children run around and enjoy the surroundings.
There is so much to do in this area and the site is really well situated for a whole range of sightseeeing. Recommend a visit to the Centre for Alternative Technology. Life changing. On site there is a lovely little cafe where you can have breakfast etc. There is a local pub just down the road, a couple of pubs on the way into Aberystwyth all of which serve real ale.
We had a lovely stay here. Would recommend it to tents, tourers, caravans. You will have a lovely stay!

What a beautiful site. Ideal if you have young children as there is plenty of room for them to run around. If you visit we would recommend that you use rock pins for pegging your tent out as the ground is very hard. A little disappointed with the shower block, it really needs a revamp. They are kept clean but a little bit outdated. This would not stop me visiting again infact we have booked for next year for two weeks.

I had been on the site all of five minutes and fell in love with the place. The staff are extremely friendly and accomodating. We were quite a large party with caravans requiring hook-ups, and tents yet we were told we could all be near each other, basically camping where we chose as long as we didnt obstruct anyone else, this was perfect for us all.
There is a brook which runs alongside the camping field,which is wonderful for falling asleep to the sound of running water.
By the washing up sink ( which is outside - not ideal in bad weather) is a small paddock which contains a very friendly shetland pony called molly. She will keep you company while you wash up, and the kids all loved her, even when she tried to eat one of their jumpers through the fence!
There are swings for the kids near the hookup paddocks, also a lovely gazebo on top of the hill for a fantastic 360 degree view, very peaceful for escaping from the kids and sitting quietly. The daily routine of the farmers getting the cattle and sheep in and out of the fields is also a great amusement, the farmer even took one of our boys for a ride on the quad!! fantastic!
The farmer was bringing out picnic benches for everyone as the camping field filled up so we all had a bench to sit and eat at, this was a lovely touch and we really appreciated the gesture, it showed what care they have for their customers.Even as the field filled up there was still plenty of room for privacy, and for playing football and other games.
There are perhaps only a few downsides which havent been mentioned;
* the water tap is not directly on the camping field itself
*some of the street lights are broken which can mean taking a torch for midnight toilet trips
*the dogs on the farm were barking alot at night
* the shop is a bit of a trek from the campsite,near reception
*the are hundreds of midges/nats/flies at night, making bug repellant and citronella candles an absolute must
*the rubbish bins are by the shop and reception,none nearby
Despite these downsides we are not put off, its charms more than make up for it . There is another downside though; now you know how great the site is its no longer our secret getaway!

Lovely setting amongst the hills and quite sheltered.Plenty of room for the kids to play. Toilet/shower facilities very clean and more than adequate.It was very quiet while we were there but if the site was full there could be queues for washing up as there is only one sink.
Only one drawback is the constant barking (especially at night) from the dogs at the farm next to the site

We went to this site from the reviews on this site, but we found it to be even better than we were expecting. Even though on 2 of the days we were staying it rained the toilet blocks were kept amazingly clean even though they had just cut the grass and the clippings got walked into the showers they kept cleaning them.
The site was lovely and the grounds were kept lovely. The only thing I would say is that you need rock pins if you are going in a tent as the ground is very hard because of the slate. Apart from that I can't recommend it highly enough.

Great site. Lovely setting and area. Toilets and showers kept clean. Tea rooms and shop stocks most essentials and cook good food, they also do take aways of Fridays and Saturdays. Plenty of space and walks for the kids to run around in.
