 Please note this site is now under new ownership. It was previously known as Ashbrook Caravan & Camping Park, and has now been renamed Hay-on-Wye Caravan Park

 Very neat well laid out site about 20 minutes walk from Hay on Wye town.

Very clean toilet and shower block. Very helpful owner who let us on site a little early. They also fill your water if you need any and have extra long electric cables to loan if your won't reach the hook up posts which are quite spaced out.

The only negative was that they tell you which pitch to park on, your not given the option to choose. This did mean some people were pitched close to the busy road when there were better pitches available.

 Lovely friendly owners, nice that they fill your water tank. Hardstanding pitches with grass ours was a bit cramped in between two others but most looked more spacious.

Very clean facilities although didn't use showers. Toilets could do with a hook to hang bag or coat.

Nice easy walk into Hay which is a lovely little town

Site was busy but very peaceful when the yappy dogs left (we have a dog but luckily he doesn't bark constantly) bit of road noise but nothing disturbing.

Seasonal caravans on site all very friendly and welcoming

Would happily return

Reviewer: PKelly44 1 review from this member

 Stayed for two nights while walking in the area with a friend. Site is just out side of Hay on Wye. Five Minutes by car. It's possible to walk from Hay to the campsite as well. About 15 minutes.

Camp site is well laid out with car stands for vehicles or caravans. Each location has its own picnic table. Site is very well maintained with all facilities working well. It is also very clean.

Owners were on site for any queries and helpful. Would visit again.

 Very well kept site, with a really nice layout. About 20 mins walk into lovely Hay on Wye.

Unfortunately due to restrictions we could not use the facilities, but from the outside they looked quite new and modern.

Owners were very friendly and helpful, and seem to be looking to improve on what is a very good site.

A little road noise, but didn't affect our stay at all.

Will definitely return.

 This was our first visit to Ashbrook and it won't be our last.

Denice gave us a friendly welcome, including advice on walking into Hay.

Alvin then helped set us up on a choice of pitches and we soon settled in.

The site is immaculately kept and everything was to hand, although the shower and toilet block was still closed due to Welsh Government Covid guidelines.

We walked the tracks into Hay and discovered the beautiful area called The Warren and enjoyed a lovely picnic and stroll with our grandchildren, who we hadn't seen since Christmas Day.

A few of the caravans on site were on seasonal pitches and who can blame them their owners (who were extremely friendly) for wanting to stay on such a lovely site.

 This was our second stay at Ashbrook Caravan Site, as before a warm welcome and everything as you would expect if it was your own caravan site.

From the moment you book in you are asked if you need water for the Motorhome it will be filled on request. Then you are shown to your pitch. If you require a longer hookup lead Alvin will lend you one.

Wastemasters are available to empty MH waste so you haven’t got to keep moving the vehicle. The toilet block is heated and immaculate. The site is beautifully kept.

There is some road noise but it didn’t bother us. And there is no play area for children again we didn’t take any.

We will return

 Situated just a 10 minute walk to the fab town of hay on Wye, Ashbrook is an ideal location.

The site is kept spotlessly clean by Alvin and Denice who are always on hand if you have a problem.

The showers are hot and powerful and immaculate. There is a fridge / freezer and washing up facilities and free WiFi to use.

There are plenty of hardstanding pitches and many more camping pitches on the perfect grass.

I can't complement the site and its owners enough we've need coming here for years and will continue to do so.

Reviewer: Rowantree10 1 review from this member

 Located on the B4350 Brecon Road it boasts a 4 star grading. The site is almost flat, only a slight slope from the top of the field down to the road. A mixture of hard standing and grass pitches, the site is predominantly aimed at touring caravans and motorhomes. Tents are allowed. Road noise may be a problem for some if camping close to the road.

The field is kept in immaculate order. There are litter bins located at various positions around the site. The shower and toilet blocks are spotlessly clean. However, there is a 50p charge for the showers! I can’t understand why this is! At £20 a night for a camping pitch (without electric) surely a shower should be included? This is just greedy.

The washing up facilities does not reflect the 4 star rating. This shoddy little space houses 2 sinks and a single draining board. A section of the floor next to the draining board has rotted away and is a trip hazard.

The owner is always on patrol making sure his visitors are toeing the line. The site is clearly well maintained and efficiently managed but has no atmosphere whosoever. It felt like a graveyard for touring caravans and motorhomes. If you like this sort of thing, go there and enjoy. I’ll be camping elsewhere.

 Alvin and Denice were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble, and always cleaning and tidying, although quite how they found anything to clean was beyond me, as everything was spotless!

Excellent value for money. Had to pay for showers, but they were warm and powerful, so didn't mind.

Aforementioned cows didn't particularly like us, but managed to skip into another field to bypass them.

 Really practical site for visiting Hay on Wye. 20 or so minutes walk into Hay with it's pubs cafes and shops.

The walk involves a partial walk across fields, there were cows in the field but they didn't bother us. Great Sunday lunch in the Three Tuns.

The site itself is in a pretty valley, near the main road. ToIlets etc first class as was the free WiFi.

 There is nothing that I can really add that has not already been covered by reviewers Gusmax (May 2018) and Scrambling Goth (August 2017).

Wife and I stayed here to attend the excellent World War 1 Commemoration 'Home At Last' in Hay On Wye.

Denice and Alvin are what all camp site owners should be like - very friendly, welcoming and will help in any way they can. Facilities and site in general are well maintained and spotless. There is no shop on site. Price is very good.

A tip for visitors who walk to Hay On Wye: Make a note of all taxi phone numbers listed on site in case you don't feel like walking back - they are difficult to find in the town itself.

This site is thoroughly recommended.

 Stayed at this site bank holiday in May, it’s well signposted when we arrived we where met by the owners who where fantastic took us to our pitch explained everything to us,

This is the best kept site I have stayed on all the facilities where spotless, location is great about a 20 minute walk into hay.

Will definitely be returning.

Reviewer: Scrambling Goth 2 reviews from this member

 Three middle-aged adults spent ten days here under canvas in late August/early Sept. We relied on UKcampsite to find this place: the excellent reviews are well deserved.

It's well signposted, with ample warning of when to turn off the (not too busy) Hay-Brecon B road. Site access is via a security barrier, with plenty of pull-in room and ample delay before the thing descends again should you possess a particularly large rig or, like me, be all fingers and thumbs at keypads.

The site is level, spacious, well lit (but not floodlit like a prison camp) and with good roads and well-tended grass. Quite a few of the caravans were clearly there for the season: rare are those who carry potted shrubs in a tourer.

Denice and Alvin are (as others have said) friendly, hard-working gems. We were delayed, and they rang my mobile to check we were ok (it was on silent, naturally. They showed us to a perfect, generous pitch, and when I wasn't sure my hook-up cable would reach, Alvin produced an extension 'just in case'. They were always about the place tending, cleaning and generally tweaking. We rate the shower block as up with the best - quite possibly the best - of any we've been to. Spotless, spacious (and warm).

The location's great - about 20 easy minutes on foot into Hay (outdoor shops, wonderful pen shop, good butchers, bread, deli - and books). Parking in Hay on Market Day (Thursday) can be tight. The road over to Llanthony is not for the faint-hearted, but those blessed with schoolboy humour will find there an easy path up Twmpa and brilliant views. Handy for the eastern part of the Beacons, the Harvey Brecon Beacons E sheet is perfect.

Plan is to head back there next year. Probably says everything.

Reviewer: Sargol 2 reviews from this member

 A really cracking campsite. Toilets and facilities spotless - easy access and walking distance to Hay. Owners can't do enough to help - turned up with a screw in one of my tyres.

Alvin the owner took tyre off - took it to town, got it repaired and refitted it whilst we were out.

A very good overall and reasonably priced experience and will definitely go back.
