What customers say
This is a relaxed, back-to-basics campsite with spectacular views in the heart of the Brecon Beacons. It's highly praised for its unbeatable location, offering easy walking access to the Four Waterfalls trail and other scenic hikes. Campfires are permitted, adding to the rustic charm. While the facilities are described as simple but clean and adequate, some visitors noted a need for more toilets and showers during peak times, and some pitches can be sloped. The friendly owners and peaceful atmosphere are consistently highlighted, making it a recommended choice for nature lovers and hikers seeking a quiet escape.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Absolutely spectacular scenery. You can't really ask for better. You're literally in the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons). Good washing up facilities with water provided. Lovely shower and toilet block near the cottage. The campsite was extremely busy when I stayed and did think that perhaps the amount of toilets and showers would not be enough to go round but the ones I used were very clean. I did not use the toilets/shower block on the main camp field though so can't comment on how that was.
A lot of people were quite noisy well into midnight playing music and partying, cars coming and going etc but it didn't disturb me, can't comment on what others experienced. In the morning it was very peaceful.
However even with the amount of people there was still ample room between pitches and choice of pitch which was good. I did feel safe.
Do probably need a headtorch as some parts are not lit at night.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Great little place in the middle of knowhere with clean and convenient facilities to take you back to basics and escape the business!
Disliked The field is quite hilly in a lot of areas so you need to get there early to find a flatter pitch.

Anonymous Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Spacious and low key campsite. Good location for the 4 Waterfalls Trail. Clean water available and elson point emptying available as long as you use organic chemicals.
Disliked Nothing really - although a dog barking for hours on our first night was a bit annoying.

Overall a lovely wild campsite perfect for waterfalls
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked It was exactly what we needed and expected. The location is fab. Lovely owner, made us and our dogs feel really welcome from the moment we arrived. We would definitely stay again.
Disliked We read the reviews before booking and some of the negative points about dogs barking, cleanliness of amenities and the noise of being on a working farm, are fairly accurate. None of it bothered us but worth bearing in mind when booking.

Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Lovely quiet, laid back site, perfectly located for the 4 waterfall walk. Loved the fact you can pick your pitch and no rules on pitch size, could use fire pits and there is flexibility on arrival and departure time.

Beautiful views and a well maintained site.
Non-electric grass motorhome pitch
Liked Beautiful views across the valley. There were 2 sets of facilities, one at either end of the site. The ones we used were basic but well maintained and clean with lovely hot showers. The site is on a fair slope but there is a flat area at the top so levelling blocks needed if you're in a van/motorhome. Decent washing up facilities with information about the area in the washing up shelter. Great location for walks, we did the Four Falls trail from the site. There's a small cafe on the way back up from the trail to the site from the south which was very welcome. It is a working farm so beware if you're not keen on farm smells and sounds, although it was generally very quiet, despite being busy on the Saturday night. The site is fairly rustic and basic on the whole which was perfect for us. You can choose your own pitch.
Disliked Right next to the road which had some traffic through the day but quiet at night. There were quite a lot of flies (it's a farm) so take bug repellent if this bothers you. Didn't detract from our stay, we still loved the site.
