A note from the site themselves...

We love nature, wildlife, and most of all, we love our Welsh heritage. We're a young family and speak Welsh as our first language. Cae Lal is a place where we showcase all of our passions. We enjoy bringing people together and allowing people to have a space to reconnect with themselves and with our wonderful nature.

We'd like to think of Cae Lal as a retreat and hope that our guests feel completely rejuvenated after their stay here, Bethan

Small Tent - Standard Meadow Camping Pitches Sep 2024

Great little campsite, the layout of the camping field is really nice. You still get a wild feel to your camping here. The campsite owners were lovely and very helpful. The showers and toilets here are by far the best campsite toilets I have experienced!! They look great and they're eco friendly. Would definitely visit again.

Site's response

Thanks Scott! We love the compost toilets, so we're delighted to hear when guests like them too!
