The Rise 1 unpowered grass and earth tent site (premium)
Liked: We love coming to the eco camping site, it’s our favourite spot in the beacons. The hosts are really lovely and helpful, the facilities are great and the view is even better! Each of the pitches allow for ample space and privacy and having an individual fire pit is great to use for cooking up dinners and sitting around while you watch the sunset. Couldn’t recommend this site more!

The Ledge unpowered grass and gravel tent or campervan site (premium)
Liked: This is a really unspoilt campsite. Huge areas of grass with small hardstanding for car or camper van. Host extremely accommodating and took his time to help us plan some walking. Weather curtailed our adventures so will have to come back again. Shower and toilet in block near the house. Basic but clean and functional. We felt like our site was extremely private and the view across the field to the beautiful oak tree asn small stream, little church with mountains beyond was blissful. Good base for black mountain and lovely country park just down the road- also easy to reach on foot.
Disliked: Not a dislike as such but would have been good to have area to wash dishes- did ours in the river.

From the manager: Oops sorry if forgot to tell you but cold water wash sink just up from The Ledge by The View pitch
Perfect location,friendly proprietors,a little on the expensive side.

The Ledge unpowered grass and gravel tent or campervan site (premium)
Liked: The site is a rural site, tranquil and with beautiful views. Excellent hikes directly from the campsite and a pub just down the road. The shower is hot and clean. The owners are friendliness most helpful.
Disliked: We were alone on the site, so the one and shower was not a problem. In the height of season one shower could however be a problem. This is not a particularly cheap site, and admittedly in an area of outstanding beauty. I do wonder however if the price is really justified concerning the facilities available.
