A flat-ish field, with plenty of space for 5 caravans. Grass well mown. Ground surface seems firm and well draining. Facilities are a bare minimum, but what more do you need?! The entry can be a little tight with a large car and caravan, and exit is difficult due to limited visibility, There's no mobile signal on EE, and no TV signal that I could find. Machynlleth is just a short drive away. We went for the duration of the Machynlleth Comedy Festival, and we intend to stay here again for the next festival.

Totally awesome 'off grid' experience.

Plas Forge
This gorgeous, not so little CL nestled in between hills and a babbling river offers an excellent place to relax. The mobile signal is virtually nonexistent and there is no WiFi, so you have to sit back and enjoy what is going on around you. From the water voles hopping around in front of your pitch, the red kites hovering and soaring above (at one point we saw 12 of them!) to the gentle 'baa-ing' of the sheep in the neighbouring field. You are literally 10 minutes drive from Machynlleth where you have a couple of small supermarkets for groceries and various pubs, bars and bistros for eating and drinking. There are lots of quirky, bohemian shops with some gorgeous gifts to be had. It's also a great base for touring around to Dolgellau, Barmouth, Tywyn and Ynyslas We were lucky to have a mixture of rainy and sunny days on our long weekend stay but the field is well drained and there were no issues with getting off the pitch. Be aware though that the entrance is 'tight' and for the exit you really need a 'banksman' to stop the cars coming down the hill as the visibility is not brilliant and you're going up a small bank to get out. But the owner did offer his services if we needed them, so don't be put off by that! Both owners were lovely, helpful and more than up for a chat if you were, but also respectful of your space and not intrusive This place has just gone into our 'must visit again' site list as we both feel so chilled having been there for a long weekend.

Peace

Plas Forge
Lovely peaceful level site where the grass is cut and picked up. River running at rear of site but no worry of flooding. The access is a little tight for a large motorhome. The site is basic but all the facilities are good, we will return when ever we are in the area.

Gorgeous CL

Plas Forge
Lovely CL, a big field running beside the river where you're free to pitch up wherever suits. It's a basic site, so it feels easy relaxed and fuss free. The owner is lovely, there to help but equally happy to leave you to enjoy yourself. At £5 a night it's easily the best value for money at any site we've ever stayed. There's a tiny bit of noise from the road which climbs behind the site, but nothing that would cause any great concern. Highly reccommend.

Such a Great site A+++

Plas Forge
We stayed on this site for two weeks and enjoyed every minute. The grass was cut short and even the clippings were picked up. Lovely views and a river running by. The site owners were so friendly even taking our dog Rocky for walks. There is a little hut with leaflets, maps etc. We have been to many CL sites and this has to be one of the best. The field is a bit lumpy so we spent a while getting really level. A highlight was watching Mr Evans feeding the Red Kites every afternoon at three pm. My wife and I would love to go to this site again although it's a long journey for us. A+
