Curly unpowered grass tent site (private bathroom amenities)

Liked: My son and I enjoyed this site, my son ended up playing with the wardens dog, Nice views, offered a lead to extend my electrical hook-up. will be using again.

Disliked: Could do with another shower, but this is a known problem, council has denied the request. If you could sort some WIFI, that would be amazing as phone signal was poor, which made planning events for the day hard.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for the review, we are getting new showers for next season!

Beautiful setting with the huts you get with each pitch a major bonus!

Jonathan S. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Jill unpowered grass motorhome site (private bathroom amenities)

Liked: We came in our campervan and loved the setting amongst a wildflower meadow. Also the huts you get with each pitch are an excellent idea! The walks from the door are stunning. You're literally in the middle of nowhere and you can either go up the local hill where you get stunning views of the estuary and the blank mountains, or walk through wildflower meadows and woodlands. It really is lovely.

Disliked: My only reason for dropping one star is that the toilet facilities are basic. While clean and functional, to me the toilets and showers are the key to a good campsite and their basic nature (no lights for at night for example) do let the campsite down slightly. Loved everything else about it though!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for the great review- its very beautiful here we are so proud that it is being received so well. We take on board the comments regarding toilet facilities, we are in the process of improvements and will be replacing the toilet block next season.

Good facilities large pitch.

Local attractions

The farm overlooks the Brecon Beacons National Park and is just off the Cambrian Way, so walkers are spoilt for choice. Climb to the top of Garn Wen (15 minutes’ walk) for views over the Severn Estuary and Brecon Beacons peaks. Challenging trails for mountain bikers lead through the ancient Lasgarn Wood (five minutes’ cycle), home to muntjac and wild boar. Llandegfedd Reservoir (25 minutes’ drive) offers watersports and strolls around the lakeside. Pontypool Golf Club (five minutes’ walk) adjoins the campsite and offers day passes to guests keen to hone their handicap. If you’re travelling with kids, wear them out at Pontypool Active Living Centre (10 minutes’ drive), which has an indoor pool, soft play areas and a gym. Explore the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal on day boats hired from Goytre Wharf (25 minutes) and learn about the industrial heritage of the Brecon Beacons at the Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon Ironworks, Blaenavon World Heritage Centre and the Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway (all 20 minutes).
