Electric grass touring pitch
Liked: Great site close to Builth wells town just a few minutes drive. The site allows fires (contained within a pit off the floor) Fantastic little shop on site selling basic foods and drink etc open 24 hrs with an honesty box left to pay (please bring your coins) peaceful pleasant site run by friendly locals. I would recommend a trip to the local pub The Seven Stars(short drive) or well worth the walk ,great pint and decent food 👍 if you are a fan of Aircraft you have a daily very low fly past which is great to watch! Would highly recommend this site and can’t wait to return. Thanks Adam for sharing this wonderful place.

Liked: Very friendly, no hassle campsite. We drove straight in, found a place to pitch our tent and got it all setup straight away because the thunder and rain were in the air. Adam checked we were all right and very kindly booked us a table at the local pub (The Seven Stars) and even offered us a lift to get there. We had just come back from Aberdyfi in our Caterham 7 and wanted to stretch our legs so the 1.5mile walk was no problem. The Seven Stars is a really nice friendly pub with good food - highly recommended.
