What customers say
Stunning Black Mountains views on this well-kept small campsite. Top marks for spotless loos & showers, plus super-friendly owner James. Easy walk to Hay-on-Wye through fields/river. Level, spaced pitches. A bit of road noise noted, but most love it & want to return!

A good friendly site, well done.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked A fairly small hardstanding pitch but well maintained. Electric hook was behind the van and water supply was quite close as well. The toilets and showers were spotlessly clean. Good dog walking area was well marked. Good washing up facilities for those that need them. A lovely little site.
James made us very welcome and suggested various places to park for walks in the Blackmountains with our dog. Very helpful..
Disliked Nothing to dislike.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked It was not crowded, plenty of space between sites.
The camp host had spaced is so everyone had a brilliant and unobstructed view of the black mountains.
There were sheep in the next fields, which were quite “chatty” which we found quite entertaining.
The views are stunning.
The bathroom and washing up area were spotless all the time.
Remote location but very close to Hay on Wye.
Plenty of lovely walks straight from the site, we didn’t do them because of the heatwave.
River swimming at The Warren and from the picnic site next to the Treehouse Cafe and at bridge in Glasbury.
Even though it’s not an adult only site, there were no young children there during our stay. This could be a positive or negative, depending on what you’re looking for.
The WiFi worked very well, even though he did warn us it could be a bit spotty .
Disliked Some traffic noise at night but not terrible.
No fridge or freezer available.

Great site with friendly and helpful owner. Can walk into Hay on Wye.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Beautiful site. James takes a real pride in his site and it is beautifully kept. Really quite and relaxed while we were there. A walk into Hay on Wye of about 2 miles cross country.
Disliked We couldn’t stay longer!

A real gem of a site with great access to the Brecon Beacons.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Lovely, well kept small site with a very friendly and informative owner! Toilets and showers were kept very clean. Beautiful views of the Black Mountains and clearly signed access to the river Wye and Offa’s Dyke. Lovely walk into Hay-on-Wye.
Disliked Push button showers didn’t last 10seconds between pushes!

Perfectly situated for trips into local towns/villages.
Electric hardstanding touring pitch
Liked Clean and efficient ablution block. Neat and tidy grounds. Pitches on the small side. Very enthusiastic site manager.
Disliked Chased by said manager (2 emails) for an extra £6 (£2 per night) as our motorhome was .3m over accepted length!
Also he charged our visitors for coming over to pick us up in their car! Other than being totally over the top he was friendly!

From the manager: Thank you for the kind comments regarding the toilet block and site grounds.
I'm sorry if you felt 'chased' to pay the correct amount. I sent an email on the 28th May, and a text on the 4th June. Because I had no response I resent an email and text on the 26th June. Most customers when they realise they have made an error with calculating their payment, by not including the small supplement of £2 for a longer vehicle, they pay straight away, especially after receiving communication from myself. As your vehicle was over 7m I was able to allocate you a longer pitch.
We do have a small visitor's charge of £3 per person. This is not charged for picking up or dropping people off. We do charge if people are visiting our customers for a significant length of time and using the site's facilities. Your visitor's did not just pick you up, they stayed for an hour and they seemed happy to pay the fee and I charged them £5 instead of £6.
Later in your stay they visited and stayed for approximately 4 hours and we did not charge although they offered.
I'm sorry if you feel my manner was "over the top" but I am trying to run a small family buisness. We want our customers to enjoy their time with us and we welcome visitors.
Lovely site run by a lovely fellow
Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch (large)
Liked Lovely small site not far from the book Mecca of Hay-on-Wye overlooking the ominous sounding Black Mountains.
Wonderful and clean shower and toilet facilities, good washing up area, and James is the friendliest host you could hope for.
The site is about 2 miles walk to Hay, but a very pretty walk or 5 minutes in the car and has everything you need for a camping trip away. We were only on site for the weekend, but would have stayed longer.
