Views and silence

More suited for families

Amazing location at the foot of the Brecon Beacons 10 min drive from Brecon. Extremely quiet site with only the noise of birds and sheep. Pitch was level and of a decent size, we managed to pitch our Hampton 6 with all guys out with space left to walk around but would not have fitted our side porch in. Each pitch has a gravel parking space to the rear and loads of space to the front for dining or family games ect.

Would be amazing for families with younger children as you get free entry to the on site farm adventure park.

Simple adequate outside (covered) washing up area and clean ablutions.

Taps in the bathrooms are push to use and they are “all or nothing” so create a fair bit of splash when washing or brushing teeth.

Good views, good spot with parking and relatively flat ground. Water tap and electric hook up easily accessed, and only a short walk to the other facilities. Good location, close to Brecon and other hill walking start points. Really dog friendly, and plenty of places to take the dog around the campsite.

The showers and toilet facilities were “new”, however do not think this was the case. Toilets and showers clean but showers weren’t great. There were only two showers per gender. This was okay for us, as we only shared the campsite with one other group, may be an issue in peak times.

Location is superb and the views amazing. All pitches are well spaced able to accommodate a 6 berth with awning. Facilities great with water points right next to the pitches. Access to the beacons (Storey Arms) about a 15 - 20 min drive, with the eastern side (Torpantau Station) 45 mins. Fire pits available and some types of barbecue (please check with the owners first). Well recommended and I will be back next year for sure. WiFi (which I find strange as we ae camping right ;-)) is very strong.

My only criticism is the shower pressure. It wasn’t great and fluctuated (at one point I though the water had run out mid shampoo) but I reckon this is a quick fix and I still got a fairly ok shower in the end. Also it would be useful to have some sort of small bench in the cubicles. Very minor points.

We stayed for 2 nights and did some walking in the area - very convenient for Pen Y Fan, we walked a circular route from the camp site. Plots were flat enough, plenty of space between and plenty of space on the pitch too. Facilities were clean. Gents had one toilet and two showers but never had to queue for it so all good. Plenty of water taps dotted about the site so never far to walk, and hook up was conveniently located one between two pitches so didn't have miles of cable all over the place. All in all was a really good stay.

Slightly confusing arrival - hadn't had any correspondence with the camp site and phone number is not answered after 5pm (despite Pitchup saying check in 'Anytime') but managed to get hold of someone via Facebook messenger and found our pitch in the end. Minor issue didn't spoil the visit.

Location absolutely beautiful, hands down, also good clean facilities (a couple of showers per gender and a family room, too), and a peaceful environment around the camp.

The friendly lady in reception was very helpful with recommendations of what to do/where to go.

10 minutes drive into Breacon and you will find a huge Morrisons and various other stores you might need, also a lovely place for coffee and a nice walk.

Very close to the famous Pen y Fan mountain, which was a hike with views that will, quite frankly, never leave me. Utterly stunning.

Price of the campsite very reasonable, too.

The roads leading the camp are very narrow (1 car at a time). This didn't bother me too much but, nonetheless, if this is something that makes you nervous, you might want to consider something else. That said, I think you will find these types of roads wherever you go.

Fabulous venue. Perfect view of the Beacons. Flat spacious pitch. Close to Brecon for supplies. Hidden gem is the River Walk, beautiful, even has its own Waterfalls.

Dog owners who leave their 'packages' on the River Walk 😡

All aspects of the site. Suited us perfectly for a very active few days, with minimal use of the car.

It was a really nice spot, so quiet and clean.
