Black Mountain View Caravan Park

Liked Beautiful site. James takes a real pride in his site and it is beautifully kept. Really quite and relaxed while we were there. A walk into Hay on Wye of about 2 miles cross country.

Disliked We couldn’t stay longer!

Liked Lovely, well kept small site with a very friendly and informative owner! Toilets and showers were kept very clean. Beautiful views of the Black Mountains and clearly signed access to the river Wye and Offa’s Dyke. Lovely walk into Hay-on-Wye.

Disliked Push button showers didn’t last 10seconds between pushes!

Liked Clean and efficient ablution block. Neat and tidy grounds. Pitches on the small side. Very enthusiastic site manager.

Disliked Chased by said manager (2 emails) for an extra £6 (£2 per night) as our motorhome was .3m over accepted length!
Also he charged our visitors for coming over to pick us up in their car! Other than being totally over the top he was friendly!

From the manager: Thank you for the kind comments regarding the toilet block and site grounds.
I'm sorry if you felt 'chased' to pay the correct amount. I sent an email on the 28th May, and a text on the 4th June. Because I had no response I resent an email and text on the 26th June. Most customers when they realise they have made an error with calculating their payment, by not including the small supplement of £2 for a longer vehicle, they pay straight away, especially after receiving communication from myself. As your vehicle was over 7m I was able to allocate you a longer pitch.
We do have a small visitor's charge of £3 per person. This is not charged for picking up or dropping people off. We do charge if people are visiting our customers for a significant length of time and using the site's facilities. Your visitor's did not just pick you up, they stayed for an hour and they seemed happy to pay the fee and I charged them £5 instead of £6.
Later in your stay they visited and stayed for approximately 4 hours and we did not charge although they offered.
I'm sorry if you feel my manner was "over the top" but I am trying to run a small family buisness. We want our customers to enjoy their time with us and we welcome visitors.

Liked Lovely small site not far from the book Mecca of Hay-on-Wye overlooking the ominous sounding Black Mountains.

Wonderful and clean shower and toilet facilities, good washing up area, and James is the friendliest host you could hope for.

The site is about 2 miles walk to Hay, but a very pretty walk or 5 minutes in the car and has everything you need for a camping trip away. We were only on site for the weekend, but would have stayed longer.

Liked Clean and well kept toilet/shower facilities and the pitches were not on top of each other.James was great welcoming guests and giving them an area brief on how to navigate the area.

Liked James is really welcoming and helpful, nothing is a problem. This is my 3rd stay. Love that it's a small site with great views. Good size pitches . Facilities are immaculate 24/7. Very hot showers, just need to make sure you have one hand on the button as cut out before you're done. Perfect base for walking the Black Mountains and many more of my AllTrails walks. Can walk into Hay directly from the campsite. Dog area allocated on site , perfect for my dog to chase a ball. The only small downfall is the road noise which doesn't bother me too much during the day and ear plugs do the trick for the night.

Disliked Nothing

Liked We had a great two night stay. Lovely views of the hills. Excellent clean facilities. James, the owner was very welcoming and gave us directions to walk to Hay-on-Wye through the fields which we did on two occasions. We really enjoyed our relaxing break and were sad to leave. We hope to return.

Disliked Nothing

Liked Everything! All facilities are immaculate. Level, spacious hardstanding pitches with brilliant views of the Black Mountains. Easy, well signed footpath into Hay on Wye. Peaceful site with fantastic view of the stars if a clear night.

Disliked Nothing to dislike

Liked James (owner) was super friendly. Lent us mats for the awning as it was on hardstanding. Gave great directions to Hay and mini tour of the site. Shower and toilet block were outstanding. And gates to place shut at night. Beautiful views. Mostly quiet.

Disliked Wasn't allowed to put awning on the grass. I understood the point on killing it, but wouldn't have impacted for the 2 nights we were there. The main road can be a little nosey, but not noticeable when in van.
