Liked: Absolutely loved the simplicity of the site, clean toilets, good facilities and straight forward check in/out!
Even down to the pathway to the toilet block being lit by solar powered, PIR lights to illuminate the path (but go off not long afterwards to ensure we could still enjoy the dark skies and starry nights!).
Disliked: The only thing we disliked was the lack of WiFi. BUT. We had solid 4G signal for the duration of our stay!

Liked: Open pitches - loads of room. Gorgeous views. Peaceful site. Allowed campfires which made it even better on the evening. Lots of wildlife. Clean facilities.
Lovely, welcoming, friendly hosts.
Disliked: The toilets were quiet a walk away, it’s absolutely fine, just a bit difficult with young children.

Liked: Campsite was the perfect location for us to do Pen Y Fan and the Four Waterfalls. Amazing facilities, which included warm showers, washing up liquid and stocked toilets.
Such lovely views and the campsite was well looked after! Would definitely recommend to friends and family and would love to stay again for longer.

Liked: We were really surprised by how few people were camping here. Very quiet campsite. Easy to find. Facilities were good. We were offered wood on our second night, which you can do a bank transfer for, so handy if not carrying cash. And super close to lots of the attractions/walks.
Disliked: Only thing I disliked was that we came across a couple of piles of dog poo in the field so not great for the kids.
