About Willow Acres Campsite
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 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.
Willow Acres Campsite is open from 01/04 to 11/10.
The site provides a shared bathroom block with two toilets and a shower.
A three-minute drive takes you into Trevethin, with a convenience store, several pubs and a fish and chip shop. Great food and drink are also served at the Pontypool Golf Club down the road.

We came at the perfect time of year, I think. The meadow flowers were out and there was lovely birdsong everywhere. The pitches are spaced far apart and a really good size. The meadow means you can't really see the other campers that well, so it's very peaceful. There's a little kitchen covered area for each site, with cute crockery and a gas hob, plus a little table and bench. If it drizzled it would have been great to hang out in the dry (we had beautiful weather though). There's a firepit stocked with some wood. It's prettily decorated with lots of thought. The owners are really friendly and helpful. It would be an amazing place for families as it's car-free. Our dog also loved sunbathing on the grass. Toilets and shower passed my daughter's spider survey and were clean. Altogether, it was beautiful.
Lots of amenities and shelters

It rained a lot so we appreciated the shelters. The shower is hot. Good washing up facilities. The cooking facilities were also good. There is even a sofa to sit on. We were the only campers so it was quiet. There were a lot of children staying during the previous week.
