Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Warm friendly welcome. Clean facilities. Grass pitch. Quiet. Cycle ride to villages, pub and riverside walks. Beautiful setting and incredible bird song.

Disliked: Occasional noise from motorbikes on the main road on the other side of the river Wye drowned out the beautiful bird song.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Loved our welcome. Very nice people who immediately made us feel we'd come here again even before we'd parked up. Nice spacious pitch, clean with all the facilities that we would need. We didn't have much time to spend here this time but will come back again for a longer period to make more of the area.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The campsite is really well maintained and the owner is very accommodating and helpful, the site itself is beautiful with stunning surroundings and plenty of walks. Perfect area for rally fans during the Severn valley stages are it’s not a far drive and paddock is near by. Couldn’t have been happier staying here.

Local attractions

Beers, burgers and other tasty dishes are all well and good, but Builth Wells (10 minutes’ drive) has more than just places to eat. There’s classic entertainment here in the form of a cinema, swimming pool and shops. The Royal Welsh Showground is on the outskirts (10 minutes) for events and festivals throughout the year, as is a golf course whenever you fancy a round. Got a pair of shoes that need breaking in? Pen y Fan (50 minutes) will soon have you hiking, although it’s not a simple feat, as it’s the highest mountain in Wales. Watersports are easy to find around the Brecon Beacons too, as Llangorse Lake (half an hour) has plenty to try out, plus boat hire and fishing. Hay-on-Wye (half an hour) might make a good choice for those of you with a mix of interests. As well as bookshops and galleries, there’s a castle plus paddleboarding and other watersports on the River Wye. Fancy going off for a pedal instead? The National Cycle Route 42 (10 minutes) runs through Hay-on-Wye.
