Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: The scenery. Convenient to have a cafe close by.

Disliked: We have stayed here a few times in the past. This visit we noticed a difference in the cleanliness of the site. The area for rubbish was overflowing and the ladies toilets/showers not as spotless as previous visits. At one point no toilet paper.

Jonathan P. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Very spacious area with well defined pitches with loads of room around. Excellent for exploring Brecon Beacons and south wales .

Disliked: Main reception not on site but just over small access road. Toilet block was good but needed a complicated code every time we used. Loads of tiny midges did not bite but caused issues with us when we were there in early June. Possibly local to our pitch.Only stayed 2 nights.

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.
