Perfect relaxing site
Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked What a wonderful place, feel so lucky we found it.
Called the owner as requested on arrival, and the most welcoming family turned up within seconds. Showed us to our pitch and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us. Had some fire wood from the owners, however ran out middle of the evening. Again within seconds our bucket was full again!
Beautiful location, with the best of both worlds. An easy 10 minute walk and you’re in the town centre with plenty of shops and friendly local pubs. Get back to the site however, and you feel you are really out in the countryside with the most stunning views.
Facilities are very basic as stated, however immaculately clean. Even the compost toilet doesn’t smell! The cold showers might put some off, but as the signs say “embrace it” and you’ll be surprised how great you feel after.
If you’re looking for a quiet relaxing spot, within easy walking distance of a lovely Welsh town, look no further!
Diolch yn fawr iawn!

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Friendly welcome was great and I found the site as close to wild camping as you can get in this type of setting. I thought it was really well laid out, creating secluded zones for each tent. I'll definitely be back.

Super convenient + stunning views in the Brecon Beacons National Park.
Non-electric grass and earth campervan pitch
Liked The views are stunning, with both the Brecon Beacons and the Black Mountains in plain view. Just 15 mins walk into Crickhowell via footpaths and the very cute bridge over the River Usk. Camping ground is lovely, with plenty of space, fire pits, compostable toilet, accessible fresh water (drinking) water with 2 pubs in the village of Llangattock (offering food).
Hosts are super friendly and on hand for enquiries and needs.
Reasonably dark skies if you like stargazing, with plenty of nature to be found along the river path and the Brecon Canal towpath, all moments away.
Simply delightful!
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

A simple site with beautiful views in a perfect location.
Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked Almost everything!
1. Location. It is in a quiet location with beautiful views of the mountains and hills. From the site you can walk to…
- the canal(5 mins) which then takes you to the Llangatwg Lime Kilns (15 mins on canal path) and also the Tramway coffee shop (a further 5 mins on same path) for a lovely morning stroll.
- Llangattock (5 mins) which has a nice open play park and a pub.
- Crickhowell (15 mins) which is a lovely place full of pubs and shops! We also walked along the River Usk here and walked an 8km circular path up to Table Mountain.
2. Loads of things to do on foot! See notes above for things to do.
3. The themed toilets. Yes they are composting toilets and can get a bit smelly but they’re well maintained and I love that each has a ‘theme’! The showers were good too - and not as cold as expected!
4. Lovely owners! They were so helpful and friendly.
5. The pitches have their own fire pits and are surrounded by ferns so you have privacy. Good distance away from the next pitch too.
6. You can charge your phones for free and they have tap water too.
