The campsite will be under new ownership from the beginning of May 2009. We will be up-grading the park so I hope you'll come to visit us soon

I have been to stay at this campsite four times now. Perhaps it's because I'm from Ireland but I don't think £7 is a lot to pay for a pitch. Toilet and showers are terribly basic but they are kept very clean and the paper towels are a big plus. While they have not as yet done any upgrade work they now stay on site at weekends which hopefully will keep noisy campers in check. I had a horrendous night there last April when four spaced out young men spent the night roaring and fighting and lighting fires. Still it is beautifully situated and close to the village. When I go back to the area I will probably stay there again.

We arrived here in the middle of the friday night and was greeted by the owner straight away who was very friendly, met the owners wife the next day who was very friendly and gave us some ideas of what to see in the area etc which was very helpful.

They have cracked down on noisy campers so was really nice and quiet, yes you do have to pay for the showers etc but so what, what is 20p.

If you love the hills, the sound of birds and lambs in the morning but still only five minuts from Betwys centre then this is the place for you.

In short.....Loved it and will return soon

Very expensive for what it is, below even basic standards. The owners, although very friendly, haven't updated over the low season. Not impressed with having to pay for showers and hand washing water, which only lasts a few minutes, on top of a heavy tariff (shocking). Will NOT be going back again. As avid campers we know when we are being ripped off. Stayed for two nights and had to contend with noisy, boozy campers on both nights. Having said that, Betws is beautiful but drive on and don't let your stay be spoilt by greed.

Campsite situated just outside Betwys y Coed but only a short walk in, facilities okay but shower and toilet floor very slippy and in need of modernisation, someone put there tent up so close to ours that we nearly joined them for breakfast!!! Site okay for a short stay, would not want to stay there for longer! Site wardens very friendly, but still unsure about their under occupancy charge, we paid the same in our 4 man tent as someone in an eight!!

Stayed at this campsite 6-9th June 2009!!

Site has recently been taken over by new owners.

The owners were very friendly and helpful!

They informed us that as they have just taken over the facilities were slightly basic but they would be improving on the off season.

Although basic, they kept all facilities very clean! Yes it is 20p for a shower but the water is hot and the water for washing your pots again 20p but got plenty of boiling water.

The campsite is a 5 minute walk in to the beautiful village and only a 5 minute drive from swallow falls and the ugli house.

The view is amazing! There is a fair bit of space and the area is kept very clean.

As an avid camper, who camps around Britain every three weeks, I was quite impressed by this site and will be very much looking forward to going back in June next year!!!

Stayed here a few weekends during May and June 2009. The new owners, who only took over beginning of May, are lovely family people. They have many new ideas for improving all the facilities at the site and plan to do this out of season. The position of site is great, walking distance to village where you can buy anything you may need, yet field can't be seen from the road. The views of hillside are amazing. There are sheep in the field next door. You are woken by the beautiful dawn chorus of birds in the trees. Close to many good walks and only short walk across to the river. Recommended for families and couples. We are both looking forward to many weekends there this summer.

Stayed here in June 09. New owners have hiked the price up with the under occupancy charge that previously never existed which made the camping trip very expensive. I don’t class my tent as under occupancy. Considering the campsites facilities are like something out of a black and white war film the prices are unexpectedly bang up to date. Bit cheeky really. I miss Dave!

We didn't book ahead and were very glad when we got there, since the campsite owner/warden was downright rude so we were glad we could make a lucky escape!

We found a beautiful and friendly site under 5 miles away and will add a review for this site separately.

Stayed at Hendre Farm for 4 days this July 2008. £22 per night for two adults and 2 children. Toilets have been painted, but still very basic. Still 20p for a very hot shower lasting a few mins. 10p for hand wash water. The site is just a flat field that is prone to water logging. On top of the road, so noise from the road and other campers throughout the night. Owner not helpful. The only plus side to this site is its proximity to Betws-y-Coed, just 5 mins away by foot.

Site far too expensive, very basic for the cost. Better and cheaper if you drive on.

I have been to this campsite a few times with my boyfriend and think its ok. Taking your own provisions i.e. toilet paper dosent bother me, neither does 20p for hot water to wash up.

I dont bother with the showers I know this sounds filthy but have a shower before you head out and a weekend here isnt a problem with just a wash!!

I have always found that baby wipes come in really useful (dont need hot water for hands then ha ha)

Stayed at this campsite this weekend (Aug '07), as it's only a short walk from the local town, this is the only plus! On arrival all we received from the local farmer was a grunt, no greeting or information. It is very expensive for what it is, £6.00 per night, per person. Couldn't believe that you have to pay 20p for a hot shower - for your 20p you get a 4 minute shower and second degree burns, there is no way of changing the temperature. The toilet/shower block is absolutely disgusting, very poor facilities to wash. It's just a field and a decrepit [here, the text submitted finishes]

We stayed on this campsite August Bank Holiday 2005. Initially we thought that the site was great, beautiful flat grassy area for tents and a great location but and this is a big but! the facilities really let it down. The toilets and showers were dirty, unheated and at night the lights are switched off so if you need to get up during the night you had to scramble around in the dark and that is a bit scary for young children, and take your own toilet paper, it is provided occasionally but......

The other thing we found quite shocking was the hot water, ok so you had to pay for a shower (20p) but 20p to wash your hands with hot water after using the toilet. Also, you are charged (20p) for tepid water to wash your dishes. You might expect this on a budget site but, you are charged £5.00 per adult, £3.00 for children and £2.00 for each vehicle for this you don't even get a freezer for your ice packs, so if you plan on staying any longer than a day using your cool box is impossible.
