Powered grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked: It was in a perfect place for me. Facilities were adequate.

Disliked: As I was there for an activity the reception/ shop was never open for my use. They allowed someone to park on my pitch but refused me a rebate. Difficult finding a parking space for campers. We did wonder if they overbooked and just didn’t have the room.

Liked: Quite a cool place to stay. Staff friendly, helpful and informative when I spoke to them.

Disliked: It rained (nothing to do with the campsite though… just Wales.. and before you say anything… I am joking).

MARIANNA Z. Aug 2024

1 bedroom cottage / chalet / bungalow (ensuite)

Liked: Location, lake and woods.

Disliked: We slept in the chalet n. 3, there was a smell in the toilet and tents and other stuff like pavement etc were old and dirty. The reception also forgot to leave the keys in the locker (as agreed by phone as we arrived late, at 8 pm) so we had to come back to the nearest village to call the emergency number and wait for 30-45 minutes for someone to bring us the keys.

Powered grass and gravel RV campsite

Liked: The view was absolutely stunning. We stayed in the electric set up and could see views of the reservoir from our pitch. The facilities were good. Food was available to order from the cafe which was really tasty and reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Disliked: The showers weren’t very private. It was a row of shower cubicles with just a shower curtain at the entrance. Poor signal due to the location of the campsite but Wi-Fi is available at the cafe.

Local attractions

Keen on investigating south Wales' industrial heritage? Set off to Cyfarthfa Castle (20 minutes’ drive) for a mansion belonging to the Crawshays, the family who owned the old Cyfarthfa Ironworks, or head further (45 minutes) to the aristocratic Bute clan's Castell Coch, a fairytale building designed by architect William Burgess. Visitors to the area can also turn back time to the 1600s at the National Trust’s Tredegar House (50 minutes) while meandering around a Charles II-era mansion and gardens. Treat yourself to a tipple afterwards as a reward for being so cultural at the Penderyn Distillery Visitor Centre, where tastings of the famed Welsh whisky as well as chocolate-making classes can be had 25 minutes’ drive from the park. If the wild’s where you want to be, Horseshoe Falls in the Beacons is 40 minutes’ drive away for walks beside water, and the popular market towns of Crickhowell and Brecon are the same distance if you’d rather ply pretty high streets. For fab scenery a little further on, Sirhowy Valley Country Park is 50 minutes away.
