 Just back from a long weekend here. A lovely tranquil site set in a peaceful area of outstanding beauty. We had a pitch in the Oaks field, which had a mix of tents and caravans, close to the amenity block.
The toilets / shower facilities were the best we've seen, very clean. The shop was very limited, with normal camp site prices, but the staff were very helpful, and our children loved the playground and the deer in the adjoining field. The site is kept in an immaculate condition, and the borders would put to shame some of the best kept gardens. Even the sun came out for all 3 days! Will definitely book again.

I thought this site was fantastic !
It is well laid out and very attractive gardens throughout. Lots of wildlife around - squirrels and ducks ( all very tame ! ). Small pretty looking pond with fish. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.Situated in a small, quiet village.
Owners and staff very helpful and friendly.
Pitches vary in size. I asked for a 'large' pitch ( with electric ) for my 9 man tent and we had plenty of room.
Small but nice looking play park for children ( although possibly a bit far from some pitches for children to go unaccompanied - but I guess this will depend on their age ).
Small shop / reception area selling essentials.
Showers and toilets always very clean. Free hot water and a free hair dryer. Separate facilities available for disabled.
Dish washing facilities again very clean and adequate. Fridges and freezers available for your use.
Local information room very informative.
I stayed here when the site was full but it never seemed crowded and I never had to queue for showers etc.
I would DEFINITELY recommend this site and will DEFINITELY return myself.

Excellent site, catering for caravans, mobile homes and tents with or without EHU.
Location: Perfect for adventure in the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. Situated in a peaceful village with a reasonable pub. The site has direct (although steep) access to the Brecon and Monmouthshire canal. The place is teaming with wildlife. The nearest supermarket is a short drive to Brecon, Although neighbouring Tal-yBont has a good village shop, (and a couple of pubs to boot).
Site: Good size pitches, though number of "marked" pitches for large tents and caravans are limited. (This is a good thing! :-). The main tent field is large, gently sloping with well cared for grass and there is oodles of space for kids to run around. There are also picnic tables dotted around the site for all to use.
Facilities: Toilets, showers, laundry (including drying room), washing up room and information room including 4 big fridge freezers and internet access are all top notch. (Although I have to admit the piped soothing music began to grate after the 2nd day!). The camp shop was limited but had all the essentials.
Overall: A cracking site in a peaceful location with easy access to all the outdoor pursuits in the area.

The facilities on this site are the best I have seen, they seem to have thought of everything. Its in a lovely, scenic location, and has a small park for the kids.
Well located, just 5 minutes from the main A road that will get you all the places you will want to visit.

A very popular site, tried to book here twice before but was always full, managed to get in on our third attempt!
We had a hard standing pitch near the toilet block and it was of great size. It had hook up and water and drain.
The toilets were great and deserve there Loo of the Year award. Good little shop, sold great ice cream!
We paid £19 a night, not the cheapest but worth every penny. No dogs, great!

Fantastic little site very close to the walking areas of the Brecons.
The facilities were spotless, and complemented by a full drying room which was essential, as boots and waterproofs took a hammering during our visit. Excellent little pub a short walk away. Is very close to main town for supplies. Very pleasant people who run this wonderful site, despite the fact that it was rather expensive.I suppose you get what you pay for, and it certainly hasn't put us off coming again.

This was the first camping trip I had taken for over 10 years and found the site fantastic! All facitilites were well maintained and clean, the owners were extremely friendly and helpful and the layout of the site was excellent. Would recommend to anyone!

This site is 99% perfect ! The rule 'No noise or shouting ' may seem a bit draconian but it means the site is relaxed , friendly and allows everyone to enjoy what we're really there for - sitting on a chair with a glass of wine and a book !
There is an excellent play area for the children and the toilets and showers are fantastic- cleaned twice every 24 hours with classical music playing and family bathrooms with shower,toilet,hairdryer,baby bath and potty .
They've thought of everything a camper in Wales could need , there's a boot and coat drying room where tenters also dried towels , internet access and a useful information room where campers also swapped magazines and books!
The only downside was the shop which is poorly stocked , considering the nearest place to buy any food is Brecon 4 miles away and on alternate days only opens for 2 hours a day.
Overall though a quiet friendly site with spotless facilities where the owners have spent money on giving you a high quality stay

Our first real camping holiday and have to say that this site really helped to make it a pleasant experience I would want to repeat!
Our pitch in the meadow was a bit far from the loo/shower block (especially at night when you've been drinking lots of water during the hot days and bladder suddenly cries out at 2am!). However, the toilet/shower block was immaculate and absolutely perfect. Fridges/freezers for campers to use, a laundry room and family rooms all made the site very camper friendly.
Being on a bus route to the Storey Arms was a big plus as we caught the bus right to it and walked Corn Ddu, Pen Y Fan and Cribyn although the week we stayed was incredibly hot so we didn't complete the 10 mile trek and instead returned to bus stop to catch bus right back to Pencelli.
The only couple of niggles I have were not directly related to the campsite but more with the unfriendly/unhelpful staff of the local pub and we had managed to book the week when the nearby sheep farmer decided to separate his sheep from the ewes and thus ensued a week of baa baa baa all night long and in the early evenings the farmer was taking some kind of stress release therapy which meant driving around his fields on something small but noisy and cursing and swearing the whole time! haha
However, it just added to the fun I guess and we will certainly be returning to this site again!

This was our first camping trip to Wales and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We stayed for 4 nights in the Meadow field and bar 1 night when there were some excitable youngsters staying it was a very peaceful and relaxing break. At times you didn't feel like you were on a campsite with the amount of wildlife that was around, all you could hear was the sheep and a few ducks. Facilities were very good close to Brecon which has supermarkets and more traditional Welsh shops make it an ideal location. I believe while we were there it was the hottest July day ever and It certainly felt like it, but being on such a chilled and spaced out site we never got too hot under the collar. Overall excellent site and we can see why it wins so many awards.
