Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Site was quiet, level, very well located for the town and for walks and was good value for money.
Disliked The toilet and shower block are pretty basic and none of the doors on the showers could be locked but on the other hand there was plenty of hot water.

Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Open plan grass pitches, clean and well maintained toilets and showers close to the river Wye and a short walk from the nearest pub food. The town was a little further with some really nice independent coffee shops.
Contact was made by them to make sure we had all the information we needed this was done by text and worked really well
£12.50 ppn bargain.
Disliked Was about 300 metres from the A 40 and while you couldn’t see it you could hear it specially over the bridge over the river. This did not put me off returning. We will return to explore this beautiful part of Wales further
Excellent site with clean facilities, friendly staff and big pitches

Liked Cheap
Disliked Water problems on Saturday, gents toilet closed for a while on Sunday. I can accept these as unforeseeable circumstances.
As for Monday, having no toilet paper in the gents and womens toilets is unforgivable.
This is the most basic of needs on any campsite and if you can't supply that then you shouldn't operate as such.
From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you didn’t receive the service that you should have expected at our campsite.
We have taken your comments on board and apologise for the lack of facilities over the weekend – this was due to insufficient mains water supply - and have been working hard this week to redress this.

Overall one of my favorite campsites I’ve stayed at
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked Pitch was perfect, we were at the furthest side of the campsite and still not too far for toilets and shower block. Felt very safe and lovely to be so close to the river and a very short walk into Ross on Wye town.
Disliked Pitch row areas could have been clearer but not too difficult to find.
Fab. Would definitely stop again.
Non-electric grass pitch
Liked So much space! Only a handful of other vans/tents with a college group on a separate field. Pitch nice and level and there was a low level amount of road noise from nearby A40 but didn’t bother me and I’m a light sleeper.
Didn’t use the facilities so can’t comment but they looked ok.
Disliked Managing two locked gates with codes is a bit of a nuisance when you’re travelling alone but understand why they are needed.
