Had a wonderful time. Location fairly remote, but that is exactly what I wanted. Clean toilets, helpful host. Rained second night, still slept like a log.
Excellent

Excellent campsite, access was great and the short walk was easier than we thought, the campsite owners were lovely and welcoming. The toilets are probably some of the nicest and cleanest in North Wales. It's a great location for Snowdonia National Park and Betws-y-Coed isn't too far away either. An excellent find for us and we will definitely be going back again!
