Courtney B.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Beautiful setting, lovely people who run site, facilities kept very clean, secluded & , nearby village 10 min drive with shop, takeaway and pubs. 20 min walk to 4 waterfalls.

Disliked Only very slight downfall if we were being super picky, was the grass was a little bit too long and lots of cut grass built up everywhere where it had been previously cut.

Only 2 toilets and 1 shower for the whole site which at busy times of the day we queued but wasn’t an issue for us personally.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Really nice site. Everything you need. Not fancy but it's a camp site, not a hotel. Don't expect fancy when you go camping for a few quid a night. Only staff I met were very friendly and helpful. Perfect location to visit the waterfalls. Definitely visiting again.

Not quite like advertised. More for groups of under 30’s.

Heather P.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Location

Disliked Not good value accommodation. Grass very long (just comparing to other campsites!) Toilets unclean, stank of urine and threatening notice saying if you don’t turn the light off in the shower the ‘free’ service would be removed??!! Is this not included in the price? Can a sensor light be fitted instead like in most other campsites?

Local attractions

Break into the Brecon Beacons however you please… taste the whisky from the copper-pot stills on a tour of Penderyn Distillery Visitor Centre (15 minutes' drive) perhaps? Grab a co-adventurer and strap yourselves in for a one or two-person zipwire ride from the tower of a former Colliery coal mining site at Zip World Tower (20 minutes)? Or board the Brecon Mountain Railway (40 minutes) and make your way into the mountains on the original mountain line? Mountain biking might make it onto your itinerary in these parts, as there are a couple of options within driving distance of the site. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a newbie or a pro at BikePark Wales (35 minutes), as there are lots of different forest trails. Dare Valley Country Park and Gravity Family Bike Park (35 minutes) is another good option for families, especially those who are new to the game. At this site, you’ll only be a short drive from the National Showcaves Centre for Wales (25 minutes). Here, kids are likely to love the lifesized dinosaurs and the caverns. Plus, there are lots of things to learn about the history of the dinosaurs and other cool parts of the past in the museum and Iron Age farm.
