From the manager: Thanks for your review, and pleased that you found the site clean, tidy, spacious and convenient for the local amenities.
We've planted some trees on the water-meadows which will hopefully grow and provide more shade, and we do request that people and their dogs stick to the Public Right of Way that runs across the field to the riverside walk.
Good, well-run campsite.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Site was quiet, level, very well located for the town and for walks and was good value for money.
Disliked The toilet and shower block are pretty basic and none of the doors on the showers could be locked but on the other hand there was plenty of hot water.

Brilliant location, clean well maintained facilities great value 😀
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Open plan grass pitches, clean and well maintained toilets and showers close to the river Wye and a short walk from the nearest pub food. The town was a little further with some really nice independent coffee shops.
Contact was made by them to make sure we had all the information we needed this was done by text and worked really well
£12.50 ppn bargain.
Disliked Was about 300 metres from the A 40 and while you couldn’t see it you could hear it specially over the bridge over the river. This did not put me off returning. We will return to explore this beautiful part of Wales further

From the manager: Thanks for your review - so pleased that you enjoyed your stay and the local amenities - and found the 'remote' text messaging informative and simple to use (we've worked hard to automate the process to make it easier for all!).
Sadly, we can't do much about the road noise (the Highway's Agency might get suspicious if it were suddenly closed...!!!) but relieved it hasn't deterred you from another visit...
Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and big pitches

Must do better!
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Cheap
Disliked Water problems on Saturday, gents toilet closed for a while on Sunday. I can accept these as unforeseeable circumstances.
As for Monday, having no toilet paper in the gents and womens toilets is unforgivable.
This is the most basic of needs on any campsite and if you can't supply that then you shouldn't operate as such.

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you didn’t receive the service that you should have expected at our campsite.
We have taken your comments on board and apologise for the lack of facilities over the weekend – this was due to insufficient mains water supply - and have been working hard this week to redress this.
