I was disappointed to find pub closed on our first night, despite saying it was open. I think it's worth the campsite being more knowledgeable about opening times. Similarly, the pizza night advertised on the blackboard at the campsite wasn't up to date. This was disappointing when you plan your shopping and day around staying on site for a pizza. These issues wouldn't matter if the site was located to other evening eating options but there are no others within walking distance. Having said this, the staff were really friendly, the on-site shop was really useful, shower and toilet facilities were clean with consistent hot water. For driving to different sites, the location was very convenient.
The best so far

We absolutely loved staying here. The campsite itself is situated in a quiet location, but within walking distance to the local pub (The Farmers Arms) and village. Plenty of hot showers and clean toilets, washing area and utilities. A great shop for snacks and gifts. On Sunday morning we treated ourselves to a breakfast bap from the hot food trailer. Delicious! The campsite is dog friendly, and although we didn't take our little furry monsters, we will return with them. This is a quiet campsite and we enjoyed the peace which complemented the breath-taking views. There was a small group of people who didn't respect the campsite, but these were dealt with in a fashion that can't be faulted. The owners of this campsite were the "pièce de résistance" - friendly, happy and extremely helpful. Although new to the site itself, you would have thought they had been there forever. We went on a few local walks and debated climbing the "Black Mountains" which we decided against as it was drizzly. We did walk to Llangynidr which was about 6 kilometres. This has a beautiful canal which we strolled along. It also has a river and you can walk over the "Skinny Bridge" to take in the views. We ate at the Red Lion, which fortunately for us, was showing the Ryder Cup. Then a lazy stroll back. This walk in particular was met with a very busy A40, which I would not recommend for children or dogs. There are plenty of other walks to take, so don't let this put you off! I have been on many campsites, this by far is my favourite. We without doubt will be back and will definitely be recommending to our friends, family and anyone else who cares to wonder. Thank you for a lovely time.
Absolutely wonderful

Lovely green site with lots to do locally, including walks right from the campsite and a nearby castle to explore. Very good facilities, a well stocked shop and the coffee truck was a nice bonus. The staff here were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We really enjoyed our stay with campfires and stargazing. My only suggestion would be a requirement for other campers to have to keep their dogs on their own pitches to help those of us nervous around unfamiliar dogs that come rushing and barking towards you.
Fantastic!

Friendly, helpful staff. Very clean facilities. Nearby road v. busy and road noise was a bit disturbing - we were near the bottom of the site and one field away from road. Good shop though.
Lovely relaxed site

We have really enjoyed our stay here. The unbelievably hot September weather was unpredicted and the original pitch was too hot for our two dogs. One is sick and the other elderly. The friendly staff bent over backwards to help. The facilities are clean and well maintained. They welcome raised BBQs and campfires. There's an onsite shop offering local goods and essentials. There is also a trailer selling coffee and pastries, and on a Friday evening they serve freshly made wood fired pizzas which are delicious. We would definitely recommend this site, and would definitely return here.
A fabulous start to our Welsh trip!

Excellent location, I was camping for 2 days in BikePark Wales. The campsite is around 40 min drive, so a bit far, however, the drive has amazing scenery so didn't bother me. The reason I gave 4 stars for the facilities was the shower ran hot & cold and didn't stay in between. Highly recommended campsite.
Lovely site

This campsite was a fantastic find. The location is a little tucked away but once there the views are outstanding. The site is extremely clean and they have everything you can think of in their little shop. Great for dogs and in the morning, they had a van turn up selling pastries. There is a local pub within walking distance but please note, they do not always serve food. However, the site owners are extremely helpful and gave us a number for the local Chinese takeaway who deliver. I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Great location for visiting the many interesting sights and venues in the Brecons. The site has some great views but for the not so fit be aware it is quite steep for dragging water and waste containers about. Grey waste water disposal was an issue as the new drain facility has been installed 120mm above ground so you can't empty a waste master tank, weighing approx. 35kg, into it without lifting it on to the drain surround. You might also spill it over the edge and your feet if you're not careful. Likewise, the fresh water tap we used was not high enough to fit a standard water barrel underneath for filling. We also thought the male showers needed finishing off properly. These minor issues would not stop us staying here again, the staff are very helpful and always friendly.

Stayed for one night in glorious sunshine. Facilities are excellent, with a spotless toilet and shower block, the best-stocked shop we've seen and coffee and pastries from a little van in the morning. The pitches are well-demarcated, and the whole site is very well-run. Lovely service from the lovely owner. Excellent value for money. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful site, quiet with very clean shower rooms. Well stocked shop. Staff were fantastic. We had a slight problem with our freezer and they bent over backwards to help us. Nothing was too much trouble and they were full of great information. Would definitely return and would definitely recommend anyone wanting a great site with great staff.

We arrived a little early on Friday to instantly be greeted at the welcome board by a lovely member of staff. We were told the pod was ready for us and given lots of information about the site and surrounding areas, which was very helpful. The pod was AMAZING! We walked inside to a very clean pod and had everything we could possibly need (the hospitality tray with tea bags, coffee and milk was a very welcome touch) lots of plug sockets, fridge, microwave, kettle, heater and fan. There was also a plug-in dim light, crockery, barbecue and camping chairs along with a welcome pack! It has clearly been very well thought out! The bed was waaayyy comfier than it looks! My only criticism would be maybe a bigger welcome mat just outside the door as the decking was extremely slippery and our son hit the deck a few times. The site was the cleanest and the most peaceful we have been to. The public facilities were spotless every day. We loved the extra touches such as the books in the phone box, tea towels etc in the laundry room and barbecues and fire pits to borrow, again very well thought out! Everything was perfect, we loved our stay and cant wait to come again (will try the Shepard's hut next time).
