Lower Porthamel Camping

Likte: Views were stunning, pitched well maintained, fire pit supplied (wood and starters extra if needed) On site staff were lovely and attentive, toilet and shower block very clean.

Likte ikke: Not much for the kids it states play area but I think tree swings are classed for this, but the kids entertained them selves with tree swing and their football

Likte: Absolutely love this place. The second time we been in less than a year. The onsite staff are so friendly and helpful. We had trouble with our knew tent, and the gent who runs the onside brewery come and checked on us. The toilet and shower block are Absolutely spotless. The views are stunning, and everytime we camp there, it always feels so relaxing.

Likte: Second time staying at this campsite, having visited in Aug 23 (this time in Mar 24). The campsite is in a great location, off the main road with limited traffic noise (not much traffic). The orchard is a cute spot with lovely views all around, albeit through gaps in the hedge line that surrounds the site (this does however provide some privacy). The new owners were very friendly and helpful is showing us around and explaining the facility/providing local recommendations. There is a small bar in the main building which is cosy and minimalist but provides great local beers/ciders and snacks/small plates. Facilities are communal and generally very good with a good level of cleanliness. Wheelbarrows were available to transport camping kit to pitches where needed. The pitches themselves generally had plenty of space and easy enough to find. A local book town with great cafes and pubs was a short drive away and the Brecon hills were also about 30mins away.

Likte ikke: Access is via a rocky track, easy enough in most cars but not great for low chassis or sports vehicles. The ground is uneven in places and the site was quite boggy when we arrived after a very wet Feb/Mar. Vehicle access to the pitches was limited, but we did still find a decent pitch and the wheelbarrows helped with setting up camp. The showers need coins to operate- and although there is a sticker explaining the best setting, this was heavily faded so we only just spotted it before the water cut off. While fridges were available in a separate area, next to the camp, space may be limited in busier periods and they didn’t get that cold- something to consider if bringing lots of items that require cold storage.

Likte: Wonderful site, camping in the orchard which makes it feel private. Great for spending time in the Tap room too. Clean facilities and a good base for exploring.

Likte: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My experience at this campsite was absolutely incredible! Myself and my son loved every second.The location was perfect for what we needed. The facilities were well-maintained and clean, including the toilet and showers( which cost £1 for a good time limit). Adrian was friendly and accommodating, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The campsite had a great little tap house which served great beer and food. You can hire a fire pit and purchase wood for your evening campfires, providing a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. I can't wait to return and would highly recommend this campsite to anyone looking for a memorable outdoor getaway!

Likte: Quiet orchard setting, good location half way between Brecon & Hay-on-Wye. Toilets/shower block was clean. Host was welcoming and knowledgable about the local area. Firepits (with wood for an additional charge) on offer on an evening.

Likte: Lovely low key site in a beautiful Orchard. Owners were really helpful and make you feel at home. Fire pits included in the very reasonable price. Cider tap house next door is a must. Lovely nature trail to walk the dog.

Likte: What an absolute find! We booked last minute the night before (decided on a whim to hike the black mountains and needed somewhere to sleep after). Took our eldest son (12) and a small tent. So easy to book, turned up and there was a helpful sign telling us to pitch and check in after 5. We were met by the owner who was very lovely and explained what was available as well as what was in the local area (talked us into doing another ascent the next morning since it was so close before we came back home, loved Hays Bluff!). The orchard we pitched in was picture perfect. We were lucky enough to be the only ones there so it was very quiet. The weather was too wet and windy for a fire so We popped in to meet Adrien in the tap room next door and tried his beers (😋 very decent). We had an early night (shattered from doing the dragons back) and used the very clean and well kept washrooms and showers before heading home. We’ll definitely be back again, cannot overstate how lovely and easy it was. Thanks so much!

Likte ikke: Only sad we could stay longer
