Have a static here it is the best place to stay in the world 6 miles from mach and 30 minutes to the beach although dav might not get the job done within 6 months what ever you ask him to do will be done within 5 years😂😂. The touring field is a long way away from the actual site and has its own facilities. There is a shallow tranquil stream running down the valley which is perfect for kids and teenagers to play in. You can access the stream from further down the campsite if you dont have a static opposite it where there is an ex fish farm it is still full of trout eels and smaller fish there is an otter which if you are lucky enough to see that is called Jim. The campsite is in the middle of many sheep goat and pheasant farms only once in the 10 years we have had a static here there have been shouters for the pheasants here but dav chased them off after a pheasant landed on top off our caravan and on the bank down to the stream. There are many walks around the top there is a house with a pond with giant carp in which you can fish in for the whole day for 5 pounds. Although the site fees are high for the facilities that are here it is a great place to stay. There is no club house, swimming pool, toilet block or reception so there are no chavs staying here the caravans are all rather expensive and when you want to sell your caravan or move to another pitch dav will buy your caravan and sell it on I love this site and the atmosphere. The site is next to a clay pigeon range which doesn't effect us at all.

This campsite is a real gem. It is in a quiet, relaxing and convenient location. It is particularly useful to explore the southern part of this National Park.

It is a short drive from the A470 and surrounding towns. The beaches are a 20 minute drive away.

The site itself is well maintained with plenty of for tents and caravans. Pitches are available with or without electric hook up.The washrooms are spotless and in good condition. The showers are hot. There is a sink to do the washing up too.

The views of the surrounding countryside are very pleasant.

Love this campsite, been here a few times and it's always clean and inviting. It's in a beautiful setting and is always quite so a good nights sleep is always had. The ground is great for tents and the pitches are large with electric if needed. We love this place, it's a proper hiden gem.

We've got a static on the park, it's a fantastic place to unwind, quiet, clean and the friendliest of owners. Its a great location for exploring, close enough to popular beaches like Aberdovey and Ynslas, a quick drive to some lovely pubs and restaurants and dog friendly.
If you like mountain biking its situated literally a quick ride from the Dyfi forest and all the goodness that has to offer and the Mach trails are 10 minutes away by car.
If you want loud and heated pools and clubhouses, this is not for you, if you want peace and quiet and somewhere to unwind, this is it.

The road to it when snowing is not gritted? Was total it's because it's private land? Very slippery, one car in the ditch.
The views are beautiful with the snow on the hills.

A beautifully situated site with lovely views of hills, fields and woods. The pitches are very generous in size all around the outside of a field, the middle of which is left to naturalised meadow. It's well away from main roads and is very quiet.
The owners are very amenable and welcoming.
Half the field is populated with seasonal vans. The people are friendly and obviously know each other well.
When we arrived one of the 'regulars' mentioned that the toilets and showers are "basic but OK". Spring bank holiday weekend the site was almost full, I would say - about 30 units with a minimum of 2 people, many with twice that. There are 2 mens toilets and 2 tiny showers. The same for womens, plus a disabled cubicle. Hot water quickly ran out so my husband had a cold shower 🥶.
The single washing up sink is inside the toilet block, not pleasant - who washes up in the bathroom at home?
The shower cubicle my husband used had the same debris on the floor for an entire week, as did the female cubicle I used. The worst thing was paddling in water in the female toilets after over zealous use of toilet brushes. The roof of the toilet block is clear plastic and in hot weather it turns into a greenhouse. The whole thing needs upgrading, in our humble opinion.
As beautiful as it is I wouldn't return because of the 'basic' toilets and showers.
