Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales
Powered concrete slab motorhome site
Liked Very friendly site owner/staff and we lucked out when it was quiet, they put us on a single motorhome pitch which was lovely - right next to a fire pit set up and the stables. Having the horses, chickens and pigeons right next door might not appeal to all but it was perfect for us as - although we did come away a little concerned about some dogs kept on site (it may be a mixed bag if you are an animal lover).
It's obvious that the site owners are industrious, preferring to build their own facilities / animal housing but some may find it a bit ramshackle. Generally I would say the site has a bit of a homemade sensibility about it, which I find quite charming.
Showers were clean and had good pressure, as well as being cheap.
Local walks are interesting, Newport isn't as immaculate as other parts of wales we visited but there is a nearby river and some old industrial canals which I found very interesting to visit and explore.
Disliked Other than some personal concerns about animal welfare (which may or may not be valid, we were only there one night and weren't worried enough to raise it) there's very little to complain about

Brecon, Powys, Wales
Unpowered grass site
Liked Friendly staff, lovely location with a gorgeous overlook of the countryside (a bit hard to get to in the campervan). Nice walks, great one if you're looking for that big sense of community.
Disliked Very big site for single tent camping and it was very busy, facilities are a bit bare bones but you get what you pay for

Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Wales
Powered grass site
Liked Amazing location, great views over the valley and as it's a working farm there's lots of interesting activity happening. The site is literally 5 mins walk away from a perfect little river swimming spot, 5 mins drive away from the dam and butterfly farm and 10-15 mins away from ANOTHER even nicer swimming spot with waterfalls. Very lovely site owner too. Field is enclosed and not huge, so perfect for kids and dogs.
Disliked Bit of a juggle with the electric hookup and the site is on a hill, even with some wood blocks we were sleeping at an angle

Powered gravel motorhome site
Liked Good showers (£1.50 each but they were clean and you got five minutes of warm, good pressure), excellent location for walks. Expensive cafe, but the food was excellent.
Disliked The motorhome pitches are right next to the main road
