Hafod Hall Camping Club Reviews

Late night camping!

Traffic jams and other congestion meant a very late arrival. Sue and her son stayed up and met us on arrival, they made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and checked in with us again in the morning! Excellent service and very friendly, amazing setting.

Great times

Great camping site. Remote, close to nature, no mobile signal. Very beautiful place and people. Very helpful and friendly, with access to lake with option of fishing. Arrived on my motorbike and used it as my base to explore Snowdonia. Last 80-100 yards you ride on gravel road, which I loved. Could park my bike right next to reception. Big thanks to Ste, Graham and to the family that own and run the camp.

Fantastic, great walks

Although short, we had an awesome stay at Hafod Hall camping club. The staff were very kind and accommodating, being on hand to help with questions whenever we needed. The location is beautiful, nestled among miles and miles of working farmland. Has an awesome wild camping feel to it, fire pits and logs available to buy on site. The highlight for us was a walk recommended to us by one of the guys, down to a stunning reservoir nearby with acres of woodland, hidden inside which are the ruins of an old Welsh village! There's no phone signal up at the site which I loved. My family had to put their phones away and it allowed us to share some real quality time. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks :)

Lovely location, had a great time!

Very rustic and wild experience, but that was what we were looking for! Everything was great. Literally only thing I could mark down for was the lack of toilet rolls in the toilets. I will absolutely be back here.

Site's response

We're glad you enjoyed your stay. I apologise toilet rolls were missing. We provide free 4 toilet rolls in the block, so can only assume someone had removed them or they hadn't been replaced.

Lovely stay

Nice set of guys, we were well looked after.

My daughter's favourite place

Last minute booking made super easy, we only had one night there but were made to feel super welcome. The wild pitches are not your usual camping site but nestled between trees and rocks on a steepish hill. That means you’re pretty much guaranteed some privacy and places for children to explore. We had a great time there and my daughter says it’s the “best campsite ever”. We were there on a long planned and repeatedly weather delayed “daddy and daughter adventure” in Snowdonia and it set the tone perfectly - feel really lucky to have found it!

Friendly staff and great campsite

Friendly staff and great campsite location.

Fantastic views

We only stayed 1 night to test a new tent but the setting and pitches were ideal. Will definitely be returning later on in the year.

Perfect hideaway

A gem for a few nights camping without the hassle of a tent! A literal hut and epic fire pit. The location was right on the bike trails for the reservoir and was epic. The rest speaks for itself, basic and rustic with a price to match, and the amazing sun set was a freebie!

Good location

Good place, a lovely site, with kind staff.

Does what it say on the tin!

This was everything we expected! We were all very happy with the cabin and made it feel cosy quickly. You do need to bring everything with you, as it says it's empty inside, but parking is close and it's no bother transferring stuff if there's a few of you. It's a very peaceful area, the veranda gives a nice view of the sun going down behind the trees and it's really dark at night! Perfect get away from the internet as there's no signal. The facilities are ideal and close by. Felt like a really good balance between being in the wild but having the basics close by, which was good with an 11 & 13 year old with me! The owners were very helpful when we arrived and sorted out our firewood for the night. One suggestion I have is for more hooks inside the cabin for hanging stuff, but that didn't detract from the experience. Definitely recommend if this is your thing!

Amazing for that wild camping feel

Stayed for 2 nights with 10 people - owners were lovely, facilities were very clean and the shower was a god send. It is on the very remote side of camping with no phone signal but it was really nice to be away from the phone for 2 nights. The area is amazing for star watching too! Would love to come back in the near future.

Awesome

It was rural and wild and the hosts couldn't do enough to help after a tricky night of rain. They offered to tumble dry stuff for us.

Nice place but although a little isolated

Hafod Hall is in a very pretty remote setting among fields of grazing sheep. It takes about 15-20 minutes to reach the next town and the facilities are rudimentary so would recommend for adults/couples rather than families. The hosts are extremely helpful and friendly.

Great, thanks

Perfect stay, friendly host and good facilities. Great value for money. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Great stay

Read the reviews before booking so had a rough idea what to expect. Was a great stay and is the closest you can get to wild camping with shower and toilets. The views were great and lots of area to explore. Site owners were so friendly and helpful. As there's no way to get your car to the pitches and it's a bit of a hilly walk, they use quads to bring your camping gear to you. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely location and staff

The campsite was perfect for us, offering a wild camping experience, along with the security of a campsite. The staff were very accommodating, helping us find a pitch and move our gear. Sam, on site, went well out of his way to support when my brother had a fall! Just real quality, down to earth people, who want to make sure you enjoy your stay!

Great location, great pitch and great owners

Very hospitable hosts, very kind and friendly. Helped us when we needed it. Location is great and the pitch was beautiful. Really recommend.

Peaceful place

Amazing place to disconnect from world, well maintained place. Clean facilities. Helpful and friendly staff.

Good value

Friendly campsite with helpful staff & beautiful views. No mobile reception which is part of the charm. Nice wild camping style so plenty of space, firepits ready-made to use with firewood available to buy. Was a good base for us to do Snowdon. Thanks Hafod Hall.

Wild cabin

This is a wild cabin, you will need your own bed/sleep mat. We loved it as it felt like we were alone in the woods. It was quiet, we had a campfire, it was perfect for our needs.

Beautiful wild camping site

Amazing staff, beautiful place.

Lovely stay

Went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, beautiful scenery and everyone was very kind and helpful, would definitely recommend!

Site's response

So glad you enjoyed your stay - we do try!

Amazing views

Five stars. Amazing views of Snowdonia national park, especially at sunset. All the campsite people were super chill and friendly. Will definitely recommend to people visiting North Wales.

Not ideal for campervans

We felt it was very expensive for a one night stay in our VW campervan with two small dogs with no hook and no real hard standing for a van. We actually ended up sleeping in the "car park" (a flat grassed area) which was ok as luckily there were no other guests. Staff were friendly and happy. After setting up camp, we did try a few times to get out walking / hiking and although the area is surrounded by rolling barren hills and farmers fields, plus a lake in the distance, we gave up, due to no footpath directions. We couldn't figure a way to get to the large lake a couple of miles away and couldn't find any "forest walks". Might be a case of us getting confused, but we hike a lot and are used to signed pathways, especially on farmers land! This would probably be a great site for group camping as its very rustic and you're allowed camp fires and pitch your tent practically anywhere, although its not easy to find a flat area away from the actual house. If you want peace and quiet, great rural rolling scenery, no pub to pop into after walking and a feel of wild camping, this is the place for you.
