Liked: Really spacious tent pitch (no 17).
The staff were super friendly and helpful.
Having free admission to the farm park with your booking it's a massive bonus it was great for our children aged 7 & 3. We also took a dog which we were able to take in aswel.
There is a river 5 mins walk from the campsite which you can walk along and is stunning.

Electric grass tent, campervan or trailer tent pitch

Liked: My 4th visit to this site and it has to be my favourite. I always stay on the Black Mountain pitches which are level, spacious and beautiful view of Pen Y Fan in one direction and hills, fields and livestock in other directions. The toilet / shower block is a bit of a walk up a small hill ( not lit on evening so need torch at night) but always clean. There are only 2 toilets/ showers but it's never been an issue for me. There are additional toilets/showers which are opened in busy periods. 2 outdoor washing up sink ( only 1 draining board). Family shower/ toilet .There are wardens on site which is reassuring. The reception staff, especially Deb , are very friendly and helpful. As a loan female which walks daily, Deb ty took the details of my walk etc .. and checked to make sure I was safely back at my tent! Site situated perfectly to do some challenging walks eg Pen Y Fan Horseshoe.
Lovely short walks from campsite, one is a long a small river.
Brecon is about a 15 min drive and has a great fish and chips shop.
Dog friendly.
Free use of the Adventure Park which was great when my family joined me on one of my stays.
I absolutely love this site and will definitely be staying again next year

Disliked: Outdoor washing up space is limited.
The showers were only ' warm' when looking forward to a lovely ' hot' shower after a hard day walking
The light went off mid shower and had to get out and wave my arms around to trigger it to come back on

Liked: Nicely laid out campsite with lovely views, large camping pitches,free admission into the farm which is great if you have kids.

Disliked: The shower block isn’t big enough for the size of the campsite and as a consequence the water is cold unless you get up early. Friendly staff and very helpful.But it wouldn’t put me off staying again .

Local attractions

Views out over the surrounding mountains and valleys will no doubt tip you off that there are plenty of options for mountain biking and hill walking nearby. Several biking and hiking routes start near the site, with heaps more around the rest of the Brecon Beacons National Park (including five mountain bike centres and 14 trails ranging from beginner to expert). If you’re up for other outdoorsy activities, activity centres in Brecon (15 minutes’ drive) can hook you up with days of canoeing, caving, climbing and sailing. For a real challenge, get set to scale Pen y Fan – south Wales’s highest peak is 20 minutes away (handily, the easiest route up is also the most convenient here – no need to let on to the folk back home.) For something a little gentler, take your binoculars to Craig Cerrig-Gleisiad or Talybont Reservoir (both about 20 minutes) for some excellent birdwatching, or crack on to Crickhowell Castle (25 minutes).
