Things to Note
The site is not manned, you will be sent your pitch number the day before arrival and you're free to head onto site anytime after 2pm and set up. Someone will walk around in the evening to say hello but if you need anything just pop over to the farmhouse across the road as there's usually someone around.
THE SITE
The site is lovely & peaceful, a handy 2 mins walk from the village shop & takeaway and only 1 mile from Lake Vyrnwy. With the river Vyrnwy flowing through at the far side, it's perfect to sit and chill.
Our site is suitable for tents or small campervans (T4 size approx).
With regret, we are unable to accommodate motor homes, large campervans or caravans.
We are also unable to accommodate large groups unless arranged via email as we are a family site not suitable for loud party groups.
We have different sized marked pitches for you to camp & all have a separate parking space for one car if needed.
Fire pits welcome, there is a concrete slab on each pitch for firepits/BBQ's to keep them off the grass.
You're welcome to bring your own fire pit or we have a limited amount available for you to use. Logs will be available to purchase for £5 cash only, please do not cut down any trees on the site for firewood.
Have a browse at our different pitches, if you don't think you'll fit into one just drop us an email and we'll come up with a solution!
