This was such a quiet, lovely location! It was near to one of the access points for Glyndwr’s Way so we were able to hike a nice section of the trail. Clean facilities and super easy to find with responsive, friendly hosts - a good spot to unwind! The field for tent pitches was enclosed and we actually had the place to ourselves so our dogs could wander without worry - really enjoyed our stay here.

A fairly small camp ground with a beautiful big barn containing couches, TV, table, fridge, water and home like showers and toilets.
Outside the barn there was a picnic table and a hut further along with a fire place that you could sit around and cook food.
I did get a bit lost on my way there but the hosts were able to sort me out. When I did arrive they showed me around the place and explained where everything was and how it all worked.
I shared the camp ground with only one other person and had a very pleasant time, so maybe consider booking during the quieter times of the week.

Well equipped and in a beautiful setting, it even had wild deer roaming around the grounds which was very special to see. We took a trip to Barmouth which was close by and a hike up to Arthog waterfalls.
Would highly recommend.

2 nights at Oakhill Ponds
Beautiful location, we loved staying in the Shepherds Hut. Loads of thought has been put into the space, lovely individual garden with seating, hammocks, so nice to eat outside in the sunshine & to be able to use the outdoor hot tub after a swim. The spa was fab & swimming in the pond was tonic for the soul. Amanda & Rob were great hosts, & they have definitely achieved what they have set out to do - provide people with an incredible place to slow down, appreciate nature & reset. Thank you

I had the most wonderful, relaxing stay at the campsite . The welcome was amazing with nothing being too much trouble . Advice on walks and even the offer of some shaped wood as a leveller as I had forgotten mine.
I shall certainly be back ! The views were stunning

The views are amazing and I got to see the ewes and the baby lambs in the next field. It wasn't busy and was easy to find.

Great value for money, a simple but peaceful site! Facilities were great for price although hot water in the washing area would have been appreciated! Would come back if we’re ever in the area.

Weekend Trip to Cuddfan - The Hiding Place
Quiet and beautiful camp spot, perfect for hiking in the black mountains.
One WARNING, there is a gas stove but no cooking equipment provided contrary to listing so plan ahead if you want to cook. Still great value and would recommend

We spent two nights in our van on the Love at First Site pitch. It was perfect - totally private, absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, could just hear birdsong.
The site had its own outdoor shower, with leaves as the ‘roof’, just magical, and its own washing up area.
A little wander down a grassy track to the compost loo (very clean) and farm shop to get lovely organic supplies, just dreamy.
The whole farm was incredibly beautiful, with stunning views of rolling hills and valleys. We had a lovely walk through the valley on the last morning.
Ken was very friendly, and Amanda very helpful when I needed to make date changes.
All in all, an a wonderful site that we very much hope to revisit :)

Eden's Nook is such a peaceful campsite..full of birds during the day and star viewing at night. The facilities are great, including the barbeque hut and Jane and Neville couldn't have been more helpful. And Jane's breakfast is delicious! We'll be back!

Eden’s Nook is a beautiful retreat from day to day life, with everything you could want for a comfortable stay. I got a warm welcome on arrival and shown around the site, being the only one booked I was able to fully enjoy the indoor fire pit and bbq, the excellent showers and stunning scenery (the clear sky was something very special)! The site is well equipped with anything you might have forgotten and the hosts are lovely and helpful.
