Electric grass touring pitch

Liked: Beautiful campsite and very well maintained. We loved the honesty shop and the location which was close to hay on wye as we went to the festival. It was idyllic but got a bit busy over the weekend which was probably due to school hols and it being bank holiday. Staff were very attentive and asked often how things were, they obviously take great pride in the site.

Disliked: No wifi or tv signal but we managed to get around that.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Would definitely come back again.

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.
