Situated 3 miles from Machynlleth on the A493 towards Aberdovey. If arriving by train please arrange to book a taxi for onward travel to Pennal from Machynlleth.
The site is in a beautiful location, close to a good-size town. There are plenty of activities locally; we went MTBing at Coed y Brenin just a little to the North. The site is well priced and you get a lot for your money. We loved having campfires there and we had plenty of space. The facilities were really good, clean and aren’t too far from any pitches. We hope to stay again if we’re in the area in the future. Fully recommended.
NB we stayed in a camper van with electrical hookup.
