Liked: This campsite was a little gem don't know how we haven't come across it before. We had a fab weekend here exploring, the kids loved the park and the cafe was great for drinks and ice creams. Facilities were very clean and showers large enough to take the kids in with me.

Powered cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: Location (next to Country park). How quiet it was. Good for young children as it is small and you can easily see them anywhere inside.

Disliked: Shower pressure. Washing machines broken. A bit unsafe with no lock on gate.

Local attractions

Head about half an hour west of the site into the Brecon Beacons and get to the national park’s waterfall country, home to falls with nicely tongue-tripping names like Sgwd Gwladys (30 minutes’ drive) and Sgwd Yr Eira (35 minutes). The former’s just the place for wild swimming in a deep plunge pool surrounded by woodland... Drier times are to be had at stately piles about 35 minutes south of the park, including Caerphilly Castle with its massive moat and towers or smaller Castell Coch reconstructed in a fairytale style in the Victorian era by well-known architect William Burgess. Cardiff (40 minutes away) also has its own castle with renovations by Burgess – head to this swish city for cool concerts and sports events at the Principality Stadium or just check out the boutiques in the Victorian shopping arcades. For another architecturally intriguing manor home from a different era, the Tudor-style Tredegar House is 45 minutes away from the park.
