What customers say
A neat, peaceful rural campsite with friendly owners. Basic but clean loos & water. Great for nature lovers, walks, reservoir access. Some feel it's pricey for basics, but atmosphere & owners win guests over, many keen to revisit.

Bella bell tent
Liked Smaller site, not on a busy road. Nice host.
Lots provided in the bell tent which was really useful- no need to pack kitchen and cooking things. Lantern provided inside and solar lights outside. Nice set up.
Toilets and site very clean. Simple and effective. We really enjoyed making a fire in the fire pit provided (purchased wood bags with everything needed included).
Disliked The lack of showers could be an issue if staying longer but for a couple of nights it wasn’t a problem for us.

Very friendly owners. Toilets were cleaned regularly during our stay.
Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked Family run campsite, set in the beautiful Welsh countryside. Great location with access to walking trails and Llandegfedd reservoir.
We were able to pick our preferred pitch which was a good size and flat.
We were able to hire a fire pit and wood for the night, which saved us having to bring ours with us.
Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to stay again.
Thanks so much for a wonderful time.

Liked 2 vans and one Bell tent which was immaculate. A lovely site, in the countryside no signal or electric which made the experience better, more chatting around the campfire. Even lovelier hosts. So helpful and friendly. We all look forward to seeing you again soon

Lovely camp to stay at. Clean and well-maintained.
Bramble bell tent
Liked We are a family of 5 with 2 teenagers and an 8 year old. This was our first time to camp so I booked one of the bell tents as we don't have our own tent. The bell tent was clean, had basic cooking and dining supplies and the picnic table was an added convenience. A bag of firewood was supplied and it was enough for 2 nights of marshmallow roasting. This was the highlight of our stay and the favourite of our youngest. The camp is next to a working farm and we saw horses everyday. The owners were very kind, friendly and accommodating. Susan comes over to welcome the campers and whenever something needed to be checked.
Disliked Ideal base for walkers as there is a walking trail. However, it was quite a distance from the reservoir so it would be better to drive if you have activities booked.
