Great views of Eryri (Snowdonia) and across to Holyhead mountain. Great that you can have fires, although I didn't on my one night stay. The bonus of being able to book the sauna was fab! I was on one of the few campervan pitches and it was very spacious.

Had an incredible few days at lloyds meadow, my husband did some fishing while I relaxed and crocheted, the campsite was clean and quiet, we even caught the meteor shower on Tuesday evening along with the northern lights. Sarah was an incredible host, always checking we had everything we needed, and very friendly.

A beautiful idyllic campsite. We loved it- we are a family of 4 (young children 7 & 10) + dog who camped in the camper field at the top. We loved the site, the various tucked away pitches 24 hour shop, the grounds, the barn, the ethos. Everything. We'll be back next year. Close to various local amenities

Weekend Trip to Henbant Permaculture Farm + Camp

We’ve just returned from an incredible stay at this beautiful campsite and can’t recommend it enough! We brought our motorhome while our friends stayed in a tent, and the site worked perfectly for both. There were so many well spaced and tucked away pitches, giving a real sense of privacy and tranquility — not to mention those views! Rolling hills and a sea view … absolutely breathtaking. Facilities are fairly basic (as described) but more than enough for what we needed. The highlight has to be the on-site farm shop — a real gem, packed with quality local produce and a lovely atmosphere. What truly made the trip was the freedom and space for the children. They spent their days running around safely and happily — just how a camping holiday should be. The whole site has such a relaxed, open feel, and we left feeling refreshed and recharged. If you’re after peace, space, and stunning scenery with a touch of rustic charm — this is the spot.

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.
