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!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the privacy and space our self-contained pitches offer—it’s something we’ve designed intentionally to give guests a true sense of peace and personal retreat. It’s great to know the covered cooking and washing-up areas added to your comfort, and that the communal facilities like fridges, charging points, and kitchen essentials helped lighten your packing list. We’ve worked hard to make Willow Acres feel both practical and welcoming, so your feedback means a lot. Thanks also for highlighting the nearby walks and the golf club’s food service—perfect additions to a relaxing stay. We’re so pleased you loved your time here, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back again soon. Warm regards, Willow Acres Camping

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.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the campervan spot—it’s designed to offer privacy and a sense of seclusion, so it’s wonderful to hear it felt like you weren’t even on a campsite. That’s exactly the kind of peaceful escape we aim to provide. It’s great to know the private shower, toilet, cooking, and washing-up facilities made your stay comfortable and convenient. And the sheltered seating area with a fire pit is one of our favourite touches for winding down in nature. We’re so glad you had a quiet, relaxing stay and hope to welcome you back again soon for another tranquil retreat. Warm regards, Willow Acres Camping

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.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Ensuite Camping PitchesSep 2024

The location of the campsite was beautiful, although the narrow uneven lane to get there was in need of some TLC but didn't cause any trouble. The site was perfect, so well-equipped and well thought out. The flower meadow was past its prime but we could imagine how pretty it would have been in the Summer. There was a communal area for washing up and meeting other campers. Each pitch was large and had its own kitchen hut with gas and hob, table and benches provided together with a small fire pit which we were grateful for as the evenings were a little chilly. The toilet and shower allocated to us was also a bonus and spotlessly clean too. Simon and John were very helpful and suggested that we take a walk about 20 minutes up to the viewpoint which proved to be outstanding, 360 degrees of amazing beauty! We would love to return in the future and would recommend this to everyone, although we enjoyed having almost exclusive use of Willow Acres!

Thank you so much for your lovely and detailed review! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the beauty of the location and found the site well-equipped and thoughtfully laid out. It’s great to hear the kitchen huts, fire pits, and private facilities added comfort to your stay—especially on those chillier evenings. We appreciate your note about the lane—it’s something we’re keeping an eye on, and we’re glad it didn’t cause any trouble during your visit. And while the flower meadow may have been past its peak, we hope you’ll return in full bloom season to see it at its best! It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’re thrilled the viewpoint walk left such an impression. That 360° view really is something special, and we’re glad you got to experience it. We’d love to welcome you back again soon—and while we can’t promise exclusive use every time, we’ll always aim to make your stay feel just as peaceful and personal. Warm regards, Simon Willow Acres Camping

Large Tent - Non Electric Ensuite Camping PitchesAug 2024

This is my favorite campsite I've ever been to. The pitch we had was completely private but extremely well equipped and had everything we needed to look after ourselves. The owners were extremely friendly and would come by just to check everything was ok and that we had everything we needed. The water was was hot and because it was private, there was no waiting, The same thing applied to the sink for washing up. The pitch itself had a great view and was so remote, we didn't need to worry about noise. I can't think of any negatives.

Great campsite

Large Tent - Non Electric Grass PitchJul 2024

Really enjoyed our stay here, pitches where big and well spaced apart and having the little kitchen set up as well as the communal fridge and plugs was very helpful. Toilets are quite basic but we had no problem with that and the staff where very friendly. The location was a little distance away from some of the walks in Brecon Beacons however, this wasn't an issue and it was nice to be relatively close to a supermarket and petrol station.

A lovely stay

Medium Tent - Non Electric Ensuite Camping PitchesJun 2024

I had a lovely weekend stay, the site was small and quiet. The facilities were brilliant - each pitch has its own hut (to shelter from the rain) and cooker/pans/dishes, which was very convenient. The site owners were very friendly and helpful. I had a great time and would love to camp here again.

Thanks very much Lucy, we really are glad you enjoyed your stay with us!

VW-Type Campervan - Non Electric Grass Motorhome PitchMay 2023

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

Small Tent - Non Electric Ensuite Camping PitchesSep 2022

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.

Little haven

Glamping - Blue Bella Premium PitchAug 2022

I loved this campsite and I've visited many. This is by far my favourite. The hosts are very welcoming. All pitches are well spread out and there is communal space. Ideally situated for Brecon.

Thanks for a great week at Willow Acres!

This was a really welcoming site. The owners were really nice, genuine Welsh people and a pleasure to meet. There is lots to do nearby. The facilities were good and the covered kitchen area was a real bonus. Would definitely recommend 👌
