Liked: Very relaxed site. Lovely setting and very helpful owner who provided fire pit and logs. If you are into fishing the access to the river looked great. We were there out of season (early Sept) so it was v quiet.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked: Everything was amazing. The place is beautiful, nice view and beautiful river and great fishing. I saw people catching nice fish barbel and others. Owner keeps replenishing fridge with various goodies so you do not need to go an buy all the time. The toilet and shower are decent, more than enough for "needs", do not expect luxury, it is camping in after all. Shared pancakes and experiences with camping neighbours which were amazing. For sure will come again.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Local attractions

Beers, burgers and other tasty dishes are all well and good, but Builth Wells (10 minutes’ drive) has more than just places to eat. There’s classic entertainment here in the form of a cinema, swimming pool and shops. The Royal Welsh Showground is on the outskirts (10 minutes) for events and festivals throughout the year, as is a golf course whenever you fancy a round. Got a pair of shoes that need breaking in? Pen y Fan (50 minutes) will soon have you hiking, although it’s not a simple feat, as it’s the highest mountain in Wales. Watersports are easy to find around the Brecon Beacons too, as Llangorse Lake (half an hour) has plenty to try out, plus boat hire and fishing. Hay-on-Wye (half an hour) might make a good choice for those of you with a mix of interests. As well as bookshops and galleries, there’s a castle plus paddleboarding and other watersports on the River Wye. Fancy going off for a pedal instead? The National Cycle Route 42 (10 minutes) runs through Hay-on-Wye.
