Anonymous Electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Staff were friendly. Campsite was clean and well maintained. Spectacular scenery. Perfect mountain views you can see from afar. Just few miles to Brecon Aldi and Morisons supermart.
Disliked Walking to a slopey path going to toilet and shower facilities not convenient for us specially when you have breathing problem.
The Ladies' shower room lights turned on & off while having shower and it was so dark during night time

Ok for a day or two hiking trip
Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked The owners were amazing swapping my pitch to a more levelled one due to my type of tent. The shower doesn't have those super annoying push to run buttons but a good old tap. Gorgeous views. I didn't use the fun part of the campsite but heard it and it sounded fun. Perfect spot for Pen-y-fan and that's what I was there for and to top it up very very good price.
Disliked It's not a dislike but mention if you're for a quiet one, it's not for you, tons of screaming kids around. But I knew the deal and didn't mind for a day.
Another not really a dislike but mention. WiFi internet only at the reception,and the G4 had barely any lines at the bottom field.
Truly disliked...
the light in the toilet that goes off in like 4 minutes when you're in the shower. Luckily I went for it during the day. That's the -1 on the score. And too bad I didn't figure that there were 2 more showers+toilet in each at the rear. Also in the showers at the front there's no bench or a bin or anything to put stuff on but wet and not really clean floor after a battalion of kids go in and out a hundred times. The taps, at the sink get stuck and at every visit to the WC there was at least one running endlessly.

Liked The chap that showed me to my pitch was very friendly
Disliked Tent pitches not prepared after recent weather. I was on my own and the tent area was empty and yet I was placed next to the only other tent that was there which was a family. I was hoping for some peace and quiet. I paid for a week but left after the first night. Won’t be back I’m afraid.
