Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 What a find!!! This is such a beautiful campsite!
When we arrived Richard couldn't do enough to help- offered us a number of pitches to see what suited us best. Yvonne's breakfast was fantastic and really set us up for the day in the marquee around the back. Such great hosts!!!
If you are looking for a quiet few days in beautiful surroundings then this is your place. Basic campsite but has showers and toilets that were always clean. Only 10 minutes to Hay on Wye and local pubs.
Thanks for looking after us x
Perfect weekend
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 The owners couldn't have been more friendly. The location is beautiful, waking up to the river every morning is incredible.
The shower was lovely and hot and the building itself was clean. Toilets were easily accessible and cleaned often.
All other campers were friendly, and respected the rules, we will definitely be back!
Excellent site
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2023 Locksters Pool is an excellent site. Both Yvonne and Richard are great people and noting is to much trouble. I was blown away by how much they were doing for the groups of people staying at the site (including myself).
There are plenty of options for pitches; quieter ones for couples etc and some more family orientated pitches. The site itself is great and has great views, as well as direct access to the river.
There are walks to go on locally and your 5 minutes form Hay on Wye and various other things to do.
They do say that they can't accommodate larger vehicles/campers and that is made clear. However, I would say that the site is currently more geared towards tents than campervans currently. But if you have a tent or a smaller van I cannot recommend this site highly enough.
I will definitely be returning.
Hidden gem
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Yvonne was very welcoming! Great utilities close together. beautiful location and perfect for a dip in the river!
Amazing views
Small Tent - Locksters View Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 Basic but very friendly, small campsite right on the river with stunning views. Very helpful hosts. Less than 10 minute drive from Hay on Wye.
A beautiful, secluded location
Medium Tent - Locksters View Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 It was an absolute pleasure to meet the owners and stay on their working farm. They were so accommodating, very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The location of the site, right beside the river, was a dream and our family loved going out on the kayak. Thank you for a warm welcome and a lovely stay. See you again.
Amazing!
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2023 This was an absolute gorgeous campsite, with stunning views and scenery, set next to a lovely river filled with wildlife.
It was peaceful and quiet, and the lovely owners Yvonne and Richard were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful about spacing people well.
Portaloos and a shower space were available and kept very clean. There is wood available for a small fee and firepits dotted around the site.
Would well recommend.
Good location, people, and facilities! Jul 2023 This was my first time booking a campsite and was glad to find it a simple and easy task.
The campsite owners were lovely to talk to, making our experience that great deal better. Their services were great, the location was brilliant, and the facilities were good!
Overall brilliant experience, will come again!
Perfect romantic getaway
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitch (Couples Only) Jun 2023 If you want a non-overcrowded place to camp this is the perfect spot. Whether it be a romantic getaway, family holiday or with a group this place caters for all. Cleanest toilets I have ever used. We were looked after from start to finish whilst also having our privacy respected. To top it off the river was amazing to have a few swims in too. Loved this place
Our favourite place to stay
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Our favourite place to stay. The location, hosts, showers and toilets are great. Small and cosy site. Recommend it for everyone who wants to experience true camping.
Beautiful but lacking facilities Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 The location is fantastic with stunning views and access to the river and the hosts were very attentive.
I was disappointed that there was only one shower for the number of pitches and there was no mention beforehand that the showers required a pound coin for four minutes of hot water. There was also no hot water for washing up and rubbish had to be taken with you on leaving the site.
The portaloos however were clean and well kept.
Wonderful Railway Wagon stay
Bell Tent - Bell Tents Jun 2023 Both Rich and Yvonne are wonderful hosts and run an excellent campsite, and made us feel very welcome even upgrading us into their new railway carriage which was an amazing experience.
While it was brand new and needed some minor bits adding to it (fridge, kettle) we wouldn't have expected this if we were camping and they are just nice touches to add to what is a fantastic place which was very comfy.
The breakfasts were delicious, and we loved every minute of the stay which has some incredible views across the Wye river.
The campsite has different areas for couples, families and single campers and Rich and Yvonne are friendly, approachable and chatty and able to respond to all needs.
Will be going back and would recommend.
Great little weekend
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Great little find for a weekend of camping. Hosts were fantastic and helpful. Great location if you're looking to visit Hay on Wye. Even had a dip in the river, which was lovely. Facilities are basic, but very clean and enough for a few days. It was a nice touch to have the added campfire. Would definitely go back.
Beautiful place
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2023 Fantastic place to camp for my son and I. Will be booking again in the holidays soon.
Amazing location
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 Very nice site right on the water. Friendly owners helpful with delivering wood to your campsite. However, there is zero privacy. Most campsites in UK are like this so this is not unique to this site but there could have a tree or two between the sites. Could hear everything from our neighbours on each side.
Camping
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 Good campsite, would recommend to others. Would be better with a few more facilities on site but overall, we had a good weekend.
Great Location for North/East Brecon
May 2023 Called Yvonne to try and make a last minute booking for a mountaineering trip to the Beacon. Despite the site already being packed for a number of festivals in the area that weekend, she was extremely dedicated & accommodating, and managed to squeeze us in for the whole weekend!
Very friendly and welcoming, and checked in at multiple points to make sure we had everything we needed and were happy!
Travel to North Brecon's by road is around 40 - 60 minutes, With the Pen Y Fan horseshoe start-point only 45 minutes away - a perfect distance to charge your phones and battery packs in the car, and recover on the return trip!
Would recommend, and will likely be back myself in the not-to-far future for more adventures.
Lovely place
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches May 2023 Booked here last minute, it’s in a lovely quiet location by the river, with some lovely walks. Yvonne and Richard are genuinely lovely people and very accommodating! I would love to stay here again on our next road trip!
Great camping spot for a relaxing getaway
Apr 2023 Nice and peaceful camping spot away from all distractions. Just what you need to relax. The hosts, as always, were great and we had a good laugh chatting to them. This is the third time we've camped here and would highly recommend this spot. Looking forward to going again next year.
Beautful location, pleasant stay
Small Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Sep 2022 If you want a place to get away from all the hustle and bustle of a busy life, then this is the place to go. It is located right on the River Wye and has a place you can launch your sup, canoe, whatever, into the river. Lots of wildlife, we saw various birds, fish, squirrel, phesant and even an otter. Has basic facilities- portaloo and outdoor sink for washing up. Gentleman running the site was very nice. Met us on arrival, had a nice friendly chat and showed us to our pitch. He came to see us once a day to see if everything was ok and enjoyed staying for a bit of a natter. 100% I would reccomend this site.
Amazing!
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 Cannot fault this site one bit!
The campsite was the perfect size, it wasn't overcrowded but there was some life there which made it feel more homely. The toilets and showers were extremely clean and well stocked with necessities such as toilet roll, air freshener, body wash, etc. There was a washing up station and somewhere to hang your wet clothes which was a massive help! There was also clean, fresh drinking water. There are also fire kits available to purchase from the managers which makes life so much easier as you don't have to take it all with you. Site is located on a lake which is great fun to swim in or do some water activities and only takes about 30 seconds to walk to. The whole campsite was very clean and a perfect combination of proper wild camping, whilst also having access to a warm shower and nice toilets.
To top it off, the site managers were very friendly, extremely helpful and made me feel like nothing was too much trouble. The site is only 12 minute drive from Hay on Wye so easy access to a shop if needed. I would recommend this campsite to anyone and will definitely be visiting again!
Excellent spot
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 We had an excellent 3 night stay, the owners were lovely and super helpful. The campsite was really well maintained, the location was excellent- just a 10 min drive from Hay on Wye where there is all the shopping you will need. The sky on a night time was worth the visit alone- I have never seen the sky so clear and so many stars to see, it was simply amazing.
Would definitely recommend this campsite to anyone!
Fantastic camp site!
VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 A fabulous campsite down a country lane in a beautiful location. We stayed in our VW campervan down by the river with fabulous views, swam in the river and enjoyed the camp fire that came with the spot.
The owner was very helpful and friendly. A lovely quiet spot, highly recommend, we'd come again. Great if you'd want to kayak down the river and camp en route.
Toilets were a bit whiffy but hey ho.
Pretty site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 A nice site but I think it would benefit from better facilities and hot water.
What an idyllic location
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Pitches Aug 2022 A truly beautiful spot, literally located on the banks of the Wye. We really felt that we’d hit the jackpot when we were shown to our pitch with a very warm welcome. Peace, quiet, on a working farm (which adds to the charm) and the ability within a matter of feet to drop your canoe or kayak onto the river Wye. We loved it! No grandiose facilities here but that’s not what we were after. An added bonus was the individual pitch fire pit and being able to purchase a bag of logs/kindling etc. Quite magical by day and night. We will return!
