 Lovely site, great views from most pitches and they all seemed flat. Steep drive to get to the site but the views were worth it. And it was so peaceful.

The toilets/showers were clean and well stocked with roll, soap and hand towels. The only thing that could help may be squeegees to prevent the puddles caused by the showers by the toilets. Not a major problem.

Close to Fairbourne and central to visit other beaches and sights in the area.

The owners were friendly and helpful.

There is a farm shop on site but I didn’t use this.

I will definitely be back.

 Lovely camp site, very helpful owners and family.

The pitch we had we were by ourselves and the view looking over at barmouth were lovely.

Weather wasn't good too us with high winds but all in all a lovely camp site.

We will be back

 Great campsite with friendly staff/owners

Awesome views across the bay, and a short bike ride into Barmouth.

Our old campervan did struggle getting up the hill to the site, as it is quite steep, but totally worth it.

Campfires allowed, so we cooked fresh sardine from bay on the fire!

We'll definitely be going back!

Reviewer: Blue Klaus 3 reviews from this member

 Wow, a really fabulous position half way up a mountain with incredible views across to Barmouth.

The storm that passed through did give us a few hair raising moments as its not very sheltered.

Sadly the facilities were tired and not cleaned at all during our stay.

The walk into town was difficult along the road but the estuary walk was lovely.

Probably better visited in Summer!

 This site is a gem. I like that it's hilly with flat pitches and the views are incredible. It's a steep drive up to the farmhouse to check in but it was so lovely even when it rained! You can see Barmouth from the site and from Barmouth we could even pick out our tent from a distance! The area was very nice and picturesque. It's a short drive to Fairbourne where we could get the steam train. The site has its pluses, the shower block is a set of singular bathrooms with loo, which is great because you can get the kids in with you and no waiting for one family room. There are extra loos further up the site also. The people we met were very nice, and we had no problems with anyone else staying there. I'd very much like to go back again. 


Date of Visit: August 2015 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Phil and Katie 7 reviews from this member

 This site was recommended to us by our son who has a tent. We were a little nervous from his description of the access. We have a 20' caravan and the access road is steep but once you have arrived at the pitches you immediately appreciate why you have climbed so high. The views over the estuary to Barmouth are absolutely stunning. We were allowed to pitch with our main windows facing the view which was wonderful. The facilities were well kept in an individual bathroom style providing plenty of space when showering. The whole site is tiered to offer just about every pitch a magnificent view, but of course means that trips to the facilities have a steep climb back to your unit. A site we will definitely be returning to.

 We spotted this campsite across the bay. A great drive round 70p across the toll bridge. When we arrived we were warmly greeted. We picked a great pitch over looking the estuary. We had wonderful weather very quiet when we stayed. Very clean site shower block was new with more than enough showers. Each shower had a sink and toilet and a chair and spotless and free we stayed for only one night wish we found it sooner and will be returning as soon as we can thanks for a great time

Reviewer: BASE849 1 review from this member

 Toilets & showers adequate, just.

View amazing.

Quiet, family dominated site.

Steep slopes for kids (& some parents) to tumble down.

Owners friendly & relaxed.

Lovely beach & miniature railway nearby to keep my toddler happy.

Only negative experience unrelated to the campsite- we indulged in a curry from the local town & it was by far the most expensive we have eaten, but at the same time the shabbiest ever, including ones we've eaten in the poorest slums in the far east. Appalling quality meat, badly cooked & microwaved rice- minging:-(

But the campsite was quality:-)

Really liked the place. 


Date of Visit: June 2013 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Pete j 1 review from this member

 The touring pitches on this site are at the top of a steep incline that includes an hairpin bend so if you have a large caravan you'll need a 4x4. Not to worry though as the kind owners towed our caravan from the 'Pony Trecking carpark' by the road for us and also brought van back down. Just ring and ask if you think you'll need help. It is worth the effort to visit this site for the view alone, It must be one of the best in the UK. Facilities are basic but clean. The Elsan point is two levels down from the touring pitches by the lower set of showers, whilst the distance isn't much you do have to climb back up the hill. I wouldn't recommend this site for anyone with mobility problems due to the inclines involved even getting to the showers.

Barmouth is a steady 40 minute walk over the railway bridge ( which is now free) and Fairbourne is around 20 minutes. Once you get down the hill from the site the rest of these walks are level.

We will definitely be visiting this site again.
