 Elan oaks is a wonderful campsite and excellent shower facilities for disabled guests as well.

Wonderful place for easy access to the elan valley on a path also for rhayader.

Joe and Claire are excellent hosts and made us feel very well will definitely visit again.

 What a great site in a fantastic location.

Joe and his team are brilliant hosts, from the moment you arrive you are warmly welcomed and during our stay they would take time to make sure you are happy with your location within the site.

The ablution facilities were second to none.

 Everything was just perfect!

Could not recommend it more, the staff is friendly and very very helpful!

The campsite is large and has drinkable water everywhere, the facilities are extremely accommodating, the cleanliness was top notch and this campsite has gone above and beyond to make sure their campers are very comfortable with all the amenities. Even a dog wash station!

The location is also superb, with many beautiful walks nearby.

We found our go-to campsite!

 Lovely quiet site in a perfect location.

The new amenities block is excellent just a pity the showers are not heated.

We’ve been there before and we will be back.

 Great location, walk/cycle track right by gate leading in,

Very well maintained grass and yard standing with electric hookup,

Recent new shower/toilet block.

Great views around the site. Owners were around during the day.

Well worth a visit, would recommend.

Nights stayed: 5 Travelling as:  Retired couple
Reviewer: Jim yarwood 23 reviews from this member

 Site is a couple or so miles out of Rhayader on the road up to the Elan Valley dams.

A level site and is easily accessed from the road. Barrier entry with a code that is sent via email [NB: write down the code as the mobile signal is not the best if you keep it just on a phone - but free Wi-Fi once you're in!].

Generous/spacious pitches - grass and hardstanding - seemed to be a 'pick your own spot' basis - and a wonderful location with views over the River Elan and the hills.

The loo/shower block (which includes a bike/ dog wash) is newly built so everything is clean and pristine and spacious. Rather oddly we met no-one from the management the whole time we were on site which didn't particularly bother us although it did feel strange.

Site is right on the Elan Valley Trail so traffic free cycling and walking up and around the dams and also back into town where there are some nice cafés/pubs (we especially liked The Arc café and The Eagles pub) as well as local shops a museum and petrol.

The Elan Valley visitor centre (with bike hire) is only a 10 minute walk from the site along the trail. Although the café there we thought was very average.

All in all a splendid position and we'd visit again. (can't really comment on the Child Friendliness so 5/10)

 Elan Oaks is in a beautiful area.

The campsite itself cannot be faulted, fab location and 5 star facilities.

However!, the owner was abrupt and unwelcoming on our arrival and that, for us, is a huge put off. He volunteered no information whatsoever.

We will not be returning.

 I've stayed at this site a couple of times now, both as part of a group of females and with family to camp without EHU.

The newly added facilities are fabulous and always very clean, and I've always felt safe at this site whoever I'm travelling with. Showers are warm, and there's plenty of sinks and mirrors to get ready by with plug sockets to use a hairdryer even if camping without EHU on your pitch.

The river runs through the site, which is stunning however I'd recommend pitching away from the river edge to avoid insect unless you have citronella and the likes to hand.

The site is dog friendly but always clean and I've never been bothered by loose dogs on site, they've always been well behaved.

Automatic confirmations with access codes don't always come through when you book, so you may need to call the site to obtain these, but this is an issue the site are aware of and are looking into.

Location is ideal for visiting Elan Valley and the reservoirs/damns with a village a short drive away with shops, pubs and a great chip shop.

I'll certainly be returning (and like I say, already have)

 Site set in stunning scenery along side the river.

Cycle track runs by the site to all the dams, and into Rhayader.

Hardstanding pitch with EHU own water and tv hookup.

One of the best toilet blocks I have seen (it is new)!

Joe very helpful

Truly a beautiful site in a beautiful location.

Will be back.

Reviewer: Malccox 3 reviews from this member

 A hidden gem, this is a developing site with new facilities blocks well on there way, however the fully service pitch we had was well maintained and spacious.

The site staff were excellent and happy to chat. It was a quiet site set in an excellent location for us to Cycle and walk.

The Elan Valley is a very pretty location so well worth the camping fees for the ease of access to the beautiful surroundings and we will return.
