Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2025 Can’t fault my stay, fairly out the way but beautiful place
Nice site, great spot Recommends site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Llangorse is in a great part of Wales and it certainly is beautiful around there.
The site was quite big, being dominated by a large area set aside for static caravans, which you had to navigate through to get to the tent pitching areas.
Personally, I would have preferred more direct access to the tent pitches, especially as to walk our dog off the lead, we had to walk back and forth through the static caravans every time.
Our pitch was No1 and it was directly beneath a number of large trees. This meant little or no sunshine actually hit the tent and as we prefer not to pack our tent away wet, we were forced to leave a day early to avoid the forecast rain on our last day. Being beneath the trees also meant lots of twigs underfoot and lots of debris falling from the trees onto our tent during the night - neither of which we would have had by choice.
There are a huge number of bins provided around the site (good point), which you are expected to put your rubbish in according to recycling rules. Fine, except most people cannot be relied upon to do as they're told and un-recycled rubbish filled most bins (bad point).
On the first morning, after arriving between 18:30 and 19:00 the evening before, I thought it a good idea to stick my head in reception and say hello, a nice courtesy I thought. I was in the process of saying hello and explaining myself to the young girl on reception, when a more mature lady pushed into the conversation, got the wrong end of the stick and was most officious - I did not need to be busy-bodied at that moment.
The toilets and showers were okay, except that a number of the toilet seats were broken and missing lids in some cases. They were cleaned regularly though. It would be nice if the hand-driers automatically went off at 10pm, which we have experienced at other sites, as our proximity to the toilets meant we struggled to get to sleep with the drier forever going off.
On the whole, the site was okay.

Motorhome - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jul 2025 Motorhome service point missing
Site's response
Hi Stephan,
Thank you for your feedback. Just to clarify, the motorhome service point in Ernie’s Field is located by the toilet block, with facilities to empty grey and black water, refill freshwater, and electricity provided to each pitch.
This is shown on the map provided and is shown on signage in the camping field, but we’re sorry if it was missed during your stay. We’ll review how this information is communicated to make sure it’s as clear as possible.
We hope you still enjoyed your time with us and would be happy to welcome you back in the future.
Best regards,
Lakeside Caravan Park
Very good site Recommends site
Extra Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 The site itself was excellent, where we were was peaceful and quiet, the toilets and showers were cleaned a few times during the day.
There was a wasp problem, don't know why. The Wi-Fi service was crap even when we were the only ones on site. The pub was very good value for money they even fired up the pizza oven to serve us pizza as we couldn't get a delivery off pizzas.
Yes, we would go back again. There was horses roaming around the shop, café and pub, the boating lake was good and the nature watching.
A great spot Recommends site
Small Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 A great campsite. Good facilities.
Don't hesitate to book! Recommends site
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jul 2025 Spot on from booking to arriving back home!
Very loud in the evening Recommends site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jul 2025 It would have been lovely but trying to settle down on our last night was impossible due to something going on behind the trees.
Very loud music playing until late, so loud couldn't hear my sound on laptop which was right in front of me. Puts me off wanting to return again as the next day, we had 3 grumpy children due to not being able to sleep.
Better than I expected - thank you all at Lakeside! Recommends site
Large Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 I was very disappointed with the café.
I had a lovely breakfast on the Monday for £11+. On the Tuesday, I had dinner and I ordered fish chips and peas and a cup of tea. I was charged £18. The fish looked impressive to other diners, but it was all batter with a little sprat of a fish inside. The chips were of a frozen kind, they were bland and tasteless. I never complained. On Wednesday, I went for breakfast but it was closed? On Thursday, I went for breakfast, at 11:33 - yes, I was three minutes late? I was refused breakfast. I said I am sorry, but I am only three minutes late. Yes, you are late the old-lady replied? I thought how very rude.
I left the café, never to return and spent the rest of my holiday with my neighbours eating at a local pub! I got quality food and a friendly service. Just what people want on holiday. I would holiday with you again. But, I would avoid your café.
Tranquil place to stay Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jul 2025 Our first time in the Brecons. What a delightful place to stay, only 2 other campervans by us in the orchard as out of school holiday season. The orchard was tranquil with excellent location and very clean facilities.
The lake was beautiful with jaw dropping views. And the lady that runs the cafe is lovely! Even helped us out with a carpark for the four waterfalls walk!
We will definitely stay again.
Great stay Recommends site
Medium Tent - Electric Grass Pitches Jul 2025 Stayed for 6 nights. Excellent facilities, very clean.
Be aware, other campsites around, so can be noisy at night but everyone still respectful and quiet by 11pm. Last night slightly spoilt by other guests pitching their van so close to me that they were on my pitch. But not the fault of campsite at all and I was leaving early the next morning so didn't ask them to move.
I am a female traveller on my own so like to feel safe in my space and the pitch sizes are huge, so this was great until this last night. Great location for visiting mountains etc locally.

Single Axle Caravan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2025 We had a fantastic break and would recommend the pace and quiet this site provides.
Really handy for the local pub too.
Great location and stay Recommends site
Medium Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2025 Everything you need for a great campsite.
The food in the pub was unexpectedly amazing. Close to Sugarloaf mountain and Pen y fan.
Didn't have hand soap in the toilets at the time of our stay which is my only minor criticism.
Awesome site for the mountains Recommends site
Sprinter-Type Campervan - Electric Hardstanding Touring Pitches Jun 2025 Awesome site.
A great location for climbing the Brecon mountains.
Lovely little campsite Recommends site
Large Tent - Non Electric Grass Tent Pitches Jun 2025 It's a lovely site, perfect little get away for two nights. Tents are well spaced out, facilities were spot on.
The only downside was you could only look at the lake and not walk around it, would have been lovely to have a stroll around it. Perfect for people who loves sports on the lake.
Great group gathering (young families) Recommends site
VW-Type Campervan - Electric Grass Pitches Jun 2025 Lovely campsite for our annual get together with friends.
Booked to be near the lake, but didn't utilise it as it didn't seem very appealing and not ideal for young kids to splash about. The algae scare didn't help, but the restrictions were lifted during our stay.
Toilets and showers very, very clean. The camping area was amazing in clean and large pitches. Bins provided but were full, these could have been emptied or provide a few more.
Some campers drove way to fast on site where young children were playing. Accident waiting to happen.
Site's response
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really pleased to hear you enjoyed the campsite and found the pitches clean and spacious, and that the toilets and showers were very clean and well-maintained – we're glad they helped make your stay more comfortable.
We appreciate your comments regarding the lake. Water quality can vary through out the year, and while we’re glad the restrictions were lifted during your stay, we completely understand how the earlier algae concerns might have affected your experience, especially with young children in mind.
Regarding the bins, we’re sorry they were full during your stay. Unfortunately, our waste collector missed a scheduled collection due to staff illness, which caused a temporary backlog. We’re working closely with the service provider to ensure this doesn’t happen again and appreciate your patience.
On the matter of vehicle speed, we want to reassure you that a 5mph speed limit is in place across the site for everyone’s safety – particularly for children playing nearby. If you ever notice anyone not adhering to this, please let us know straight away so we can take action.
We hope to welcome you and your friends back again for another enjoyable stay.
Warm regards,
Lakeside Caravan Park
