The site owner came out to help us pitch. Loads of hook ups and water access. Plenty of access to Barmouth and Fairborn. Thanks guys!
Brilliant stay!

We loved it! Fantastic views, lovely staff and great showers. My only gripe is that the Wi-Fi was down 😔 However, we will definitely be back next summer! 🤩
Stunning views, clean, exceptional service

Our stay in this campsite was wonderful! We had great weather and the views were simply outstanding. The site was very quiet and well kept and the site owners were helpful. It is on a steep hillside and the actual pitch that we had was only accessible up a short but steep bank. There were lots of rabbits. The toilets and showers were clean and not too far away from the pitch. There is not a shop on site, but there is a little store a short drive away. We would definitely come back for another stay.

Stayed in a tent overlooking the estuary. A nice, clean campsite with great washing and lavatory facilities with individual cubicles containing toilet, sink and shower with lots of hot water. Had wonderful views of the mountains on one side and the sea on other, with the estuary in the middle. Be warned, was a steep climb when returning on foot after venturing out, we are not fit and managed it okay. About a 15 minute walk to the beach at Fairbourne, which was a nice, small, seaside town with a nice pub at the end facing the sea, serving good pub food. About an hour's pleasant walk to Barmouth, passing over the footbridge, a nice traditional seaside town which you can also get to quickly by train.
Great site

Amazing site with stunning views. The owners are really helpful but not intrusive in anyway. Good facilities. However, due to being wet rooms, they get muddy very quickly, making getting changed difficult. All in all, a great campsite and we would definitely go back.

Amazing views. Shower and toilet in same room wasn't a great set up and they only seemed to get cleaned once a day, which I feel isn't enough. Locks on toilet could be tricky. Half the campers ignored great rules and signs for the site but we all had such a great time, it wasn't really a problem for us. Layout of the pitches was excellent and didn't feel crowded in the slightest. The fire pits were fantastic.

We had a nice time at this site. We only had 3 days when we had rain and strong winds but we didn't let that stop us enjoying our time. The only negative thing I can say about this site is that the pitch we had didn't really have a proper walk route to our tent, so we walked past other people's tents as it was a safer route for myself and my family instead of walk up the steep bank and risk slipping. The site was nice and the staff were helpful. The shower block and washing up areas were clean.

A beautiful location with fantastic views over the estuary and Barmouth. Unfortunately, we happened to stay at the same time as some very noisy campers! The after 10:30pm quiet policy is clearly not enforced. Otherwise, enjoyable stay with easy reach of the Mawddach trail and Fairbourne.

We’ve just spent the most wonderful 3 nights at this campsite and we couldn’t recommend it enough. The views, staff and overall cleanliness of the site has been perfect. We can’t wait to come back ❤️

Amazing campsite with large pitches, lots of shower/toilet cubicles, great phone and internet (free) signal. Ice cream van stops by every evening. Great views and very well planned/organised site. People with kids kept close to each other and the ones without kept separate (maybe we just got lucky, but hopefully it's always like that). they even provide washing up liquid in the kitchen 🤩 lots of recycling bins and very clean overall.
Very nice place

The only negative was that some of the other campers were a bit loud and the way the site is orientated into the side of a quarry, it amplifies sound somewhat. Everything else was great. Best views we've ever had from our tent, owners were friendly and helpful and the facilities clean and well maintained. The pitches are a little stony so I would recommend an air bed or cot with a protector underneath. Amazingly bug free, even when I forgot to shut the bug net one night, we didn't get any visitors. If it's damp expect a few slugs though 🤣 Really close to the attractions in Fairbourne and easy to get to Barmouth/Aberwen. We cycled over the railway bridge but there is also the ferry. Likely to return at some point soon!

We enjoyed our stay here. The view from the site is amazing and the facilities were clean. There was an issue with hot water during our stay but that didn't ruin our time there. We would love to go again.
Lovely campsite!

Lovely campsite with the amazing views, especially the sunset! Got one problem, no hot water on my last stay, had to shower in freezing water. Apart from that, me and my partner had a great weekend away!

The only downfall was in the upper toilets. They would benefit from a floor blade to swipe the water back to the shower after each person. Other than that it was a beautiful, love the way the pitches are on different levels for privacy, owners were very attentive. Would love to return.

We had a pitch for a medium tent. The site is very steep but all sites are on tiers, flat and a good size. # You can't park directly next to the tent as the pitches are slightly higher than the track you drive up on. The views across the bay are magnificent. The sunsets are stunning. I was very impressed with the shower and toilets blocks, they were very clean and spacious. There are plenty of drinking water taps dotted around and washing up facilities next to the shower block.
