Non-electric grass touring pitch
Liked Toilet block really clean and have a swipe card system for access. Had lovely food in pub next door, do book as gets busy. Lovely site, lots of dogs who were pretty chilled. Walked to the waterfalls nearby and had a dip in the mermaid pool. Were attending Glorious Gravel Ride in Afon Forest 15min drive from site.Would stay longer next time so can walk up the big hill.
Disliked The trees helped keep the pitch cool in a heat wave, which may have been reason why so many bugs, midges and mosquittos (but not the campsite fault) Bring bug spray in the summer! Guess lots of water around with the waterfalls.

Non-electric grass campervan pitch
Liked This is a beautiful quiet pop up with lots of space. The gate access was plenty wide enough from the country lane, no need for chocks as flat, and grass short. I used a breatheable ground sheet to cut down bugs. There are 3 ways to access the field, I came from Cannington Road and the lane was single and narrow with lovely trimmed hedgerows, so large campervan was ok. Met one car and had few passing places.
Chose another route back to J23 via Spaxton Road where the road was much wider, more traffic but much easier.
On arrival we were in 34 degree heatwave, so initially the water tap/waterpipe was very hot(due to extreme hot weather) Rachel and her girls kindly brought us some cool water for drinking from their house. Amazing and very gratefully received on such an hot day After flushing the tap the water ran cold and was able to top up van. The porta loo was clean and there was a little box next to it we used for recycling cans (hope that’s what is was for!) you need to take your own rubbish home which is expected in such a quiet place. 5G reception was poor and little TV signal but who needs that when you have the skies to look at!
We were hoping for shooting stars but the moon was too bright. We did see a few which were amazing! The hosts came around the next morning and were extremely friendly and welcoming. Walked to a little reservoir and as it’s private, no swimming allowed. Would recommend this place wholeheartedly. The booking was simple and last minute. A friendly text before you arrive. Relaxed leaving time although we left by about 11am. Hope you carry on next year, my sister and I will definitely be back. Thank you
Disliked Having to leave!
