Liked: Really spacious tent pitch (no 17).
The staff were super friendly and helpful.
Having free admission to the farm park with your booking it's a massive bonus it was great for our children aged 7 & 3. We also took a dog which we were able to take in aswel.
There is a river 5 mins walk from the campsite which you can walk along and is stunning.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite
Liked: My 4th visit to this site and it has to be my favourite. I always stay on the Black Mountain pitches which are level, spacious and beautiful view of Pen Y Fan in one direction and hills, fields and livestock in other directions. The toilet / shower block is a bit of a walk up a small hill ( not lit on evening so need torch at night) but always clean. There are only 2 toilets/ showers but it's never been an issue for me. There are additional toilets/showers which are opened in busy periods. 2 outdoor washing up sink ( only 1 draining board). Family shower/ toilet .There are wardens on site which is reassuring. The reception staff, especially Deb , are very friendly and helpful. As a loan female which walks daily, Deb ty took the details of my walk etc .. and checked to make sure I was safely back at my tent! Site situated perfectly to do some challenging walks eg Pen Y Fan Horseshoe.
Lovely short walks from campsite, one is a long a small river.
Brecon is about a 15 min drive and has a great fish and chips shop.
Dog friendly.
Free use of the Adventure Park which was great when my family joined me on one of my stays.
I absolutely love this site and will definitely be staying again next year
Disliked: Outdoor washing up space is limited.
The showers were only ' warm' when looking forward to a lovely ' hot' shower after a hard day walking
The light went off mid shower and had to get out and wave my arms around to trigger it to come back on

Liked: Nicely laid out campsite with lovely views, large camping pitches,free admission into the farm which is great if you have kids.
Disliked: The shower block isn’t big enough for the size of the campsite and as a consequence the water is cold unless you get up early. Friendly staff and very helpful.But it wouldn’t put me off staying again .
