About the site


Situated amongst the Welsh countryside, overlooking the Brecon Beacons National Park - this small friendly site offers a peaceful and relaxing stay. While the site is just under two acres each pitch has been created to be spacious and private. Each has a covered kitchen area with all the needed utensils, crockery, and a gas hob, as well as a picnic table and a firepit. The site has named each one of it's pitches to create that truly individual experience. There are four pitches (Butch, Snowy and Lumpy, Bonnie and Dot, and Curly) that have their own eco shower and toilet. Whereas, pitches Jill and Custard have access to shared facilities. All are suitable for large tents, but Jill is also able to accommodate a campervan. Blue Bella offers a secluded stay away from the elements for up to two campervans. With privacy at the forefront, you'll be able to admire the natural wild meadows and the dark clear skies undisturbed. The site is located on a family owned working farm. With 300 sheep and a herd of Welsh black cattle, you'll see a glimpse of the farming life. Dogs are allowed, but due to being a working farm, they must be on a lead at all times.

A note from the site themselves...

Set among peaceful countryside with sweeping views of the Brecon Beacons, our small, friendly site features eight spacious and private pitches—each named in memory of farm animals who have left a lasting impression on us.

Our grandparents first came to Willow Acres in the 1940s, and it's thanks to their care, hard work, and love that we are able to welcome guests to this special place today.

Every pitch holds a story, continuing their legacy while offering a tranquil escape where nature and heritage meet.

Small Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchJul 2025

This is a beautiful site, which gives you a real sense of privacy as the pitches are self-contained with plenty of space between them. We loved the covered cooking area; this would provide you with protection if weather is bad, along with the covered washing-up area. The whole area has been carefully thought out: there are fridges, a place to charge up phones plus plenty of pans, plates, cutlery etc. There are some beautiful walks from the site and a golf club which provides food from 12pm. The whole set-up here means you don't need to bring lots of equipment with you. We loved it here!

Unbelievable campervan spot

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Motorhome PitchJul 2025

Campervan spot separate from main campsite. Own shower, toilet, cooking and washing up facilities. Seated area sheltered with fire pit, feels like your not on a campsite. Was there 2 days and never seen any people, brilliant spot.

Amazing campsite

Medium Tent - Non Electric Ensuite Camping PitchesMay 2025

A lovely campsite run by lovely people, I would 100% be returning to willow acers, and would recommended this site to anyone. The en-suite and private kitchen are a great extra to have whilst camping. The campsite is very clean and tidy, and just a beautiful place to stay.
