Lower Porthamel Camping

Liked Lovely setting in the orchard. It really felt quite unique and part of a working farm too. The cider and cheese board provided by our host Adrian was just great. Thanks for a lovely time for Dad and Daughter.

Disliked Nothing!!!

Liked The solitude of the site. The staff were very friendly & helpful. The toilet facilities were clean & adequate for our needs. The free use of the barbeque & the firepits were great.

Disliked Clearer directions to the camp site & information about where to pitch for late arrivals would be useful. Access to food preparation area would also have been useful.

Liked After a long and tiring day hiking in the Brecon Beacons, Lower Porthamel Camping was the perfect place to rest for the night. The site is peaceful, quiet, and felt very safe—just what I needed after a full day outdoors.

All the essential facilities were available, including clean shower rooms, and secure parking. One thing that really stood out was how clean the entire campsite was. Visitors are expected to manage their own rubbish, which encourages everyone to keep the space tidy and respectful—something I really appreciated.

Overall, it’s a well-maintained, no-fuss campsite that I’d definitely recommend to anyone exploring the area.

Liked Beautiful location amongst the apple trees, with basic, but clean and well maintained, facilities. Loved the tap room, serving artisinal ciders and beers made at the farm. Also the cheese and charcuterie boards served in the tap room are fantastic.
Fire pits, logs and kindling are available to allow you to finish your day, gazing into the flames.

Disliked There is nothing to dislike in my opinion.

Liked Lovely spot, great pitches, delicious cider and beer and lots and lots of wonderful birds and unusual birdsong!

Disliked Sadly, the paper in all of the toilets ran out on Sunday morning.

Liked Beautiful campsite with big pitches well spaced apart with apple trees in between to give a sense of privacy. Perfect for our children to explore and run around safely. Facilities are really clean and the onsite tap room is the cherry on top. Also loved the nature walk.

Liked What an amazing place. In between the apple trees, it felt so privet. The cider was amazing 🤩. Can’t wait to book a return visit.

Liked Really beautiful spot with great facilities. The tap room is great - lovely cider and charcuterie! We loved it

Liked Friendly owners and great cider, showers, and toilets were clean and well-kept. Staying amongst the orchard is lovely, kids loved it and plenty of space for them to play.
5/6min drive from Hay which was great for the festival and access to the river wye.

Liked Beautiful orchard campsite, surrounded by farm animals and wildlife, such as red kites, swallows and rabbits. My 9 year old loved the walk down to stream where we paddled in the water. He also loved the apple tree with the large half-fallen branch where he climbed up with his camping pillow and sat reading. Thanks to the no-cars policy, my one year old was able to toddler around in front of our pitch with relative safety. The toilet facilities were simple but clean and £1 lasted ages in the shower. For us grown ups, the beer from the tap-room was fantastic and we all appreciated being able to have fires. Staff were friendly and helpful and the whole site had a happy, friendly feel. We can't wait to return.
