Fferm Gelli Camping

Kedvelték Nice spacious pitch nice views lovely animals
Good washing facilities and really friendly staff

Nem kedvelték It was all adequate apart from the day we left another camper mentioned the camp WiFi which I knew nothing about.
Maybe when arriving it could be mentioned.
Also other campers had a bbq and emptied it into the fire pit.
Was not extinguished so still lots of smoke from the coals. So for safety ended up getting a bucket full of water and dousing it .
This should be communicated if campers are having bbqs and using the fire pit. That the bbq needs fully extinguishing first. You cannot be to careful with carbon monoxide.

Kedvelték The owners were very welcoming and accommodating.
The electric pitches are on the same field as the toilets and showers which were cleaned daily.
Pizza’s on a Friday are 10/10.
Our electric tripped during our stay and we had help pretty much straightaway.
It’s a lovely novelty to camp at a site that is also a farm - there are cats, llamas, ducks and chickens (and a cockerel), goats, sheep, cows (two different types) and ponies.
The pitches were plenty big enough for our large tunnel tent and the campsite was cosy.
The non electric field is a little bigger than the electric field but our pitch size wasn’t an issue.
The campsite is pretty central - It’s 10 mins to Caerphilly in one direction and 10 mins to Abertillery in the other.
We are a bilingual family and it was lush to see translations on every sign.
Although there are animals to see we thought a little outdoor play area may make the site a bit more child friendly however lack of one encouraged us to get stuck into the camp life which we also really enjoyed.

Nem kedvelték If we were being picky, our pitch had a hole in the middle of it (we had no choice but to pitch over it), the hot water to wash dishes was intermittent and mostly lukewarm and there were some rocks on the ground that we had to reposition our pegs around.

Kedvelték A lovely little site. I was in a motorhome for just one night and didn't use any facilities or meet the owners so can't comment on them, but everything seemed tidy and well maintained. Lovely to have a highland cow and goats so close to the camping field.

Kedvelték Spacious pitches. Toilets and showers close to pitches. Cafe on site. Parking off the camping field (no slamming of car doors at all hours!). Camp fires allowed. Loved the grey cat that came into my tent and went to sleep!

Nem kedvelték Screaming kids at 6am!! Not one of the grown ups told them to stop. Obviously not the sites fault, just bad parenting.

Kedvelték Great walks from site, great ice creams and kids loved seeing the animals. New cafe outdoor seating area is great and cafe looked popular. Nice smallholding for an afternoon coffee trip. Quiet nights, so slept well. Kids were enclosed in the camp area so didn't have to worry about cars.
We liked the signage with the Welsh pronounciation. Good cheap basecamp.

Nem kedvelték Site is smaller than their pictures suggest (approx 12 small plots), my husband and I felt mislead by some pictures. We would usually have camped a bit more picturesque/rural and would have paid more for that had we realised. Staff were not particularly warm and welcoming. Camping field could have benefitted from a roller and pitches were close together, but on this occasion it didn't matter as there were not many of us there. This was lucky as I had checked our large air tent would fit and they said yes, but I asked to move on arrival as the nominated pitch would have been a squash right next to one of the only other tents.

Kedvelték Small and not overall commercial site. Very convenient for visiting our family
Easy to book
Friendly owner
Plenty of animals to look at.
On site cafe - looked good although we did not get to eat there.
Good location

Nem kedvelték Grass was a bit long. Not too much of an issue for us as in a campervan
Lock on one toilet is broken - the owners probably don’t know - didn’t see them a second time to let them know.
Again something owners probably not aware of - people running engine in carpark while they cook using boot of car - annoying engine noise when farm was so peaceful.

Kedvelték Not far from Abertillery! Toilet was clean

Nem kedvelték Difficut access as gate was blocked by cars. Field was very small, grass had docks and hadn't been cut. The ground had been churned up by grazing livestock. There was rubbish on our pitch, which we had to pick up. Toilets and showers were primitive, and only 1 toilet was available while we were there.
The site was very over priced, compared with others, at £30 a night.

Kedvelték A space in the corner of a field amongst tents.

It was a laid back environment. Lady in shop was polite.

Nem kedvelték It may not suit everyone due to a noisy environment. They was a party in the barn next door with loud music till at least 10pm. Other campers were playing music.

It's a busy place as next door is a public cafe and farm


The showers weren't clean, however hot unlimited water and heater in there.


Washing up facilities next the ducks, questionable location and not a clean area.

Kedvelték Small site, secure camping field with a few ride on toys for toddlers. Toilets and hot showers. Animals to see. Picnic tables available in the field.

Nem kedvelték Lots of car traffic each evening around the site.

Kedvelték Really lovely little campsite, we stayed late in the season and arrived after 6pm. No one was around but phoned the lady who directed us where to pitch. We had the whole site to ourselves.
Can imagine it’s a lovely place to bring small kiddies as it’s a farm and the field is secured by fencing all around. A fire pit in the middle with some ride on toys around too.
We didn’t try the showers but these looked clean. Toilets were fine too although no loo roll provided. Luckily I carry my own. Facilities were unisex and 2 of each unit supplied.
Grass pitches, I believe it’s all tents only and a few small campervans are allowed. We were in a vw camper. There is a picnic table for every pitch.
We paid £30 for the night, feel like it’s at the higher end of pricing considering that’s without electricity.

Nem kedvelték No toilet roll or towel to dry hands on.
