 We passed through here on Cycle Route 8, it's in a beautiful location down the road from some lovely little old mining villages alongside the river.
If the weather had been less damp, this would have been a great site and a lot more popular I imagine. As it was we shared the site with around 10 other tents, the whole site was pretty wet and waterlogged which was a shame but we still managed to find somewhere dry to pitch our tent.
There wasn't really anywhere to chain our bikes, we ended up chaining it to a tree. The toilets and showers were a little damp because of the rain which wasn't ideal. The owner was friendly and we saw him up the local pub a bit later on.
The pub was about a mile up the road and was fantastic! It was the perfect place to hang out for the afternoon while it was raining outside, the owners were incredibly welcoming, the food was great and they sold some nice ales.
Would loved to have paid a visit to the Centre for Alternative Energy but didn't make it because of the rain.
So apart from being damp, it's a really nice place to spend a few nights.

Stayed for a long weekend-Sat to Tue second weekend in August what a lovely quiet site. We were meet by the framers wife you who told use where to camp i.E. Away from the caravans / campers. We camped in a two man tent so we were able to find a level pitch on the field on the river side of the track, but watch out for the midges. The field had obviously had a lot of water on it as there were plenty of ruts from cars / vans. Plenty of water taps however there were puddles around some. If you like open camp fires this is a site for you as they allow fires- you will find plenty of rocks to form a hearth, but wood can be in short supply, so bring your own.
The plate wash is OK two sinks plenty of hot water and under cover, toilets are tidy and clean first thing in the morning but can be rather wet latter on in the day and they are shared by various insects-nay midges. The pub in Ceinws is about 1 mile away and sells good bear can’t vouch for the food, but it looks good. It is nice, quiet with a few books to read, painting to buy. But take a torch.
Centre for Alternative Energy (CAT) is about a 5 min walk away is very informative and thought provoking. Machynlleth is fine for provisions having a butchers, bakers small Spar etc. There are some nice beaches nearby and if mountains are your thing then there is Cadair Idris some 5 miles away.
Planning to return in October half term to bring the children.

Well, here we go. Great place, beautiful in fact. I have read previous reviews and some are fair and, fair enough.
This area is in one of the most spectacular valleys in wales. The river (Dulas) here is superb, but only when it rains!
Relax, calm down, enjoy yourself. Because you can here.
Enjoy the fishing when it's wet, enjoy the scents of the trees when it's dry and enjoy your children playing and having a good time.
OK, a coat of paint on the facility block, but come on, doesn't your front room need decorating yet again?
Pub is down the lane a Welsh mile away (food good-not cheap)and a bus at the gates into town £4.90 return for two. Superb. Have it! No. I am not the owner.

The place looks great in pictures, and from the other side of the busy Dolgellau road as you drive past(as we did, having missed the turning). Granted, the weather wasn't great, but we have stayed at many sites in bad weather and been fine with it. The site was waterlogged, and churned up with mud from vehicles crossing it. Where there was no mud, the slates in the ground made it really hard to peg in a tent/awning. Perhaps a site like this should try to organise where vehicles are driven to protect the ground from such churning? A few more hardstanding areas, and places where people should leave their cars might help.
The toilet/shower block was positioned in the cellar of the owner's farmhouse, it was cold and permanently damp. I'd have been happy to have shared the facilities with a thousand creepy crawlies, because that means a warm, dry environment, not something that resembled a cave.
On a plus side,being able to make an open fire to keep warm in the evening was good, and other campers appeared to be really enjoying the river. However, one family chose to start a loud disco for their kids at ten o'clock at night, playing the same two tracks over and over for at least an hour. 'Evacuate the Dancefloor' was one of them - and it made me wish I could evacuate the campsite.

Lovely setting, very peaceful. The ground was boggy in places and midges were a problem in the evening. Water taps are easily accessible around the site but they could benefit from better drainage underneath as it quickly gets muddy around the tap especially in the wet weather.
The river is beautiful and easily accessible but due to heavy rainfall recently it was fast flowing and quite deep in places. I'm sure that during a dry spell older children could play in it but we found it a bit of a steep drop to the river off the side of the field too so we had to look out for our children all the time.
The showers and toilets are basic and really in need of a good spring clean and a lick of paint. Our children were a bit scared of the buildup of spider webs. However, the shower worked well and hot water was always available and the floors were kept clean. There were sinks for washing up too which were always clean.
It is ideally situated for visiting CAT and a short drive from the beach and Cader Idris. The owners were very friendly and the whole place has a relaxed feel about it. Fires are allowed which was lovely in the evening, toasting marshmallows and baking potaoes.

Stayed here for a couple of nights in June. Lovely quiet site, only a couple of vans and 2 or 3 tents whilst we were there.
Loos and showers very basic, though plenty of hot water.
The only negative that would stop us visiting again is that the site is by the side of a small river and stream. We were eaten alive by gnats early evening and had to batton the the hatches in the van to stop millions of them getting in.

Stayed over the bank holiday weekend in a large group of campers and tents. We were very lucky with the weather and the kids loved swimming (and body boarding) in the very cold river. Overall we felt positive about this site.
It is in a lovely setting, allows campfires by the river, is not too expensive and is quite sheltered. It is a short (1 mile) walk to the pub.
We did have problems with midges in the morning and evening, and the site was very boggy in places (some cars got stuck in the mud). The loos and showers are very basic but reasonably clean and free - however getting hot water was a bit hit and miss.
Generally, we felt that the pro's outweighed the con's and we would recommend this relaxed and simple site to others.

Friendly, basic and informative. Camp right by the river. Peaceful and great access to CAT. Walk down the road to a fab pub (1 mile away down the lane - details at the campsite). Pub has great atmosphere with free-range foods. Wonderful food.
Peaceful campsite, free showers - basic. Washing up sink outside. Pitch or park up anywhere.Can get muddy. Area next to river has drainage stones underneath.Making it a good pitch and most pegs go in easily still.

Another fantastic campsite. Owner was very friendly and even offered the use of his tractor if we got stuck in mud!(think we did pick the wettest week!) The facilities were basic but all that you need- lots of different places for drinking water. Lots to do by car (went to the beach and king Arthurs- good gift shops) and a pub in walking distance although do remember to take a torch.

Stayed here for 2 nights when visiting the Centre for Alternative Technology. We met friends here, who arrived before us, and were greeted by the friendly owner, who pointed out where our friends were pitched. Basic but clean facilities, good wash up area.
This is a small, friendly site, with a great atmosphere. The other campers were of varius nationalities, & we enjoyed an evening listening to a digeridoo being played by a Dutchman!
Several fallen trees naturally split up pitches, and a river boarders the site (complete with stepping stones - the kids loved it!)
The village of Mycnthleth (SP?!) is 5 mins drive & has typical village shops, pubs etc. Even a petrol station!
Although fires are allowed on this laid back site, firewood is in short supply. It would be good to be able to buy some.
Looking forward to braving the 7 hour drive to return.
