Facilities
Pros:
"The site is spacious and exceptionally clean, the facilities are top class and have everything you need."
"All facilities were spotless and had a wonderful view from our caravan pitch."
"The facilities were fantastic, there were fridges, shower rooms and toilets available."
"Good facilities; level, hardstanding pitch for our campervan, with an amazing view of the Dyfi River and estuary."
"Facilities are very clean and there was plenty of them so never had to queue."
"Shower and toilet block very modern and clean with spacious, hot showers and hairdryers."
"Facilities were very good, with nice hot showers."
Cons:
"The hair dryer was broken in the shower unit we were in but I fixed the hose back on so we could use it to dry our hair enough as it was late!"
"Toilets could of been cleaner, loos and sinks clean but attention to cobwebs, dirty walls and floors was not very good."
"The right-side shower in the women's didn't work properly."
"Wouldn't say a dislike as such, there weren't enough showers for the amount of campers."
"Great place, clean showers and toilets the only thing that let's it down is the fridges and freezer, I get that its not the owners fault, but they are so dirty its horrible."
"Toilets and showers not the cleanest, just lacking in general care and attention."
"Showers wouldn't stay on for more than 30 -60 secs so you had to keep pressing the button."
Value
Pros:
"Cost 15 per night per pitch but is apparently only 10 when you book direct."
"For £35 or around that, for 3 people to spend a night with access to Aberdovey beach, and the hills beyond, you can't go wrong."
"Very well priced."
"The charges are very reasonable and the Wi-Fi was good for the location."
"Great value for money."
"Brilliant value considering the location etc."
"Prices online are a tad confusing as paid £14 but on-site the tariff for this years is £10 (the campsite has since sent me a refund of the difference!)."
Cons:
"On the expensive side at £26 per night for 2 adults and 1 dog in a campervan on an electric hardstanding pitch in late September."
"Wouldn't return just on the basis of rudeness of owner."
"Also owner was a bit abrupt when we arrived asking us why we did not enter campsite in direction as recommended on booking email."
"When told if we were sure it wasn't us this then became rude."
"Shame the owner came over and accused our group of washing dishes at 12.40am."
Location
Pros:
"The views are stunning."
"Beautiful location with stunning views."
"The campsite is easy to find and there is a walk by the River Dyfi directly from the campsite."
"Waking up to a view of the mountains through the panoramic window was just great."
"Incredible views of Snowdonia national park!"
"Awesome views of the estuary with lovely walks."
"The views from the campsite are lovely."
Cons:
"Lack of drinking water points."
"We found there wasn't much to do directly around it; no public footpaths or walking routes."
"You have to be able to drive away from site to get anywhere."
"Machynlleth was a bit run down, disappointed."
"It was very busy when we arrived with a lot of children running around noisily."
"The only reason I've given it a 4 is that in non electric fields the noise of traffic disturbed us."
"People washing in toilets instead of shower blocks so have to wait to use toilets."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"A very well run camp site. Also level pitches!"
"Quiet and did not hear anything once dusk fell."
"Very friendly and welcoming hosts."
"Lovely relaxed feel to the place and situated in the middle of jaw dropping, beautiful scenery."
"The owners were super helpful and couldn't do enough to help."
"The site had a very amicable atmosphere and everyone who visited while we were there were friendly, considerate and sometimes quite chatty!"
"Lovely quiet campsite in a beautiful setting. The views are stunning whether you are in the top field or bottom field."
Cons:
"Only issue we had was drinkers up all night in the communal hut opposite us who were very loud."
"Staff did clean it up in the morning but would have been nice if they could have been stopped or asked to be quiet."
"The bin area was covered in litter and rubbish."
"Probably not best to tell children that playing around a rope swing wasn't the best place to play."
"No real play ground for the children on site (though they used the tree swing a lot!)."
"Would have loved to have had a small park or play area for the kids."
"It's a peaceful site, away from roads, and sheltered from the winds."
