Jordan M.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked Great site and close to a town, if you need other bits.
Facilities were very clean and plenty of hot water.
We had the choice to pick our own pitch, but all of them were decent in size and next to your electric points.
Cafe and park were great. There was so much we didn't even scratch the surface here. Would stay again.

Zoe T.

Electric hardstanding and grass touring caravan pitch

Liked Clean and tidy site with plenty of space between pitches. The cafe and staff were great, helpful and friendly. Food was nice and reasonable. Toilet block was clean and everything you’d need. Kids enjoying the freedom to ride around and making friends. Recycling bins is a great idea.

Disliked Heads up on the roads leading up to the entrance, parked cars make it difficult to get up, whilst towing a caravan.

Andy H.

Electric hardstanding and grass motorhome pitch

Liked I found that the whole site was free from litter and kept very tidy in the grounds.
I also was very impressed by the cleanliness of the shower and toilet block .
The area for walks was also very appealing of which we enjoyed immensely.
.

Disliked I was disappointed to see that other campers did not adhere to the site rules ie:allowing children to ride cycles and scooters around the pitches at all time this was a concern as my little dog was not able to rest .

Local attractions

Head about half an hour west of the site into the Brecon Beacons and get to the national park’s waterfall country, home to falls with nicely tongue-tripping names like Sgwd Gwladys (30 minutes’ drive) and Sgwd Yr Eira (35 minutes). The former’s just the place for wild swimming in a deep plunge pool surrounded by woodland... Drier times are to be had at stately piles about 35 minutes south of the park, including Caerphilly Castle with its massive moat and towers or smaller Castell Coch reconstructed in a fairytale style in the Victorian era by well-known architect William Burgess. Cardiff (40 minutes away) also has its own castle with renovations by Burgess – head to this swish city for cool concerts and sports events at the Principality Stadium or just check out the boutiques in the Victorian shopping arcades. For another architecturally intriguing manor home from a different era, the Tudor-style Tredegar House is 45 minutes away from the park.
