These are spacious and sleep up to six people on comfy beds with linen provided, as well as lanterns, cosy throws and seating provided. The perfect choice for those wanting to avoid any hassle. An ideal spot for ramblers, you'll have direct access to Offa's Dyke and be a short distance to the stunning Brecon Beacons.

A note from the site themselves...

Our site is all about harking back to the days gone by of "real" camping, with paired-backed facilities and a fabulous lack of modern intrusions. We welcome guests to come here for a digital detox, to get back to nature and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. We hope to meet you soon, John

Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Campervan and Motorhome PitchesAug 2023

Booked the Cayo retreat as a last minute bank holiday decision. We got to the site and were greeted by John who was very cheerful and very helpful. Showed us to the campervan plot and left us to get set up. After a few hours he came around to check everything was ok and to let us know they lit a fire in the middle of the site under a timber frame lit with fairy lights, which was a lovely meeting area to get to speak with the other campers. Facilities are limited but very well set up and kept clean, toilets are in the same pod as the showers so can get quite a queue in the mornings, but we all managed to be able to use the facilities with very small delays. Would definitely recommend this for anyone.
