Great owners are working hard to create a real naturist haven. Good facilities include a barn for gatherings and a new heated swimming pool. Large level pitches in a sheltered area for caravans, motor homes and tents. We stayed in Peters View the mobile home that although getting on a bit is large, clean and comfortable and can sleep up to 6. Good kitchen, shower and own toilet. Maybe a bit pricey at £70 a night for 2? Facilities for campers in the barn. Weather was awful during our stay so couldn't enjoy the sunbathing possibilities. Nice basic little pub up the road does great food and Jo the owner owns a smarter eatery establishment further on. Only negative as with all UK naturist sites sadly is the single male majority on site.

Heaven in the hills. As newbies to the naturist lifestyle, we were warmly welcomed by Mike. The campsite has gorgeous views across the Welsh countryside and the facilities were both abundant and spotless. It soon felt like a home-away-from-home. Upon arrival the heavens opened and our tent proved to have been less than waterproof but Mike soon rushed to the rescue with the invitation to upgrade to the glamping pod... and WHAT an upgrade! A wonderful and warm pod with all the essentials and clearly made with much love. Mike's art is scattered around giving the place a uniquely magical aura aside all the quartz and historic buildings. As soon as you take your first stroll around the site you feel all your troubles fade away as you succumb to a slower pace of life. Many great activities to do in the local area, particularly the Roman Gold mines which were a true treat for history nuts like us. And all this set in the most incredible scenery to stroll or hike through. Needless to say... We're already planning our next visit!
