 A gem of a campsite in the Heart of Wales. Set in the wonderfullt scenic hills and mountains 5 miles outside Builth Wells. No shop on site, althought water, charcoal, bacon, sausage, eggs and bread are available fron the fridge and freezer in reception (an honest box is to be used when owners are not around).
A loan of high gain ariel is essential (donatios to the air ambulance). The site is extremely well presented in a very secenic location. The site is set in the centre of a working Welsh hill farm and is a short distance down am track off the main road. Road noice is non existant. The site is very quiet, and the only noise, apart from playing children, is from the sheep in the surrounding fields.
Dog scamper on site for those early morning or late evening doggies needs, and loads of space around for miles of walking. There is no park, but the kids we had with us 8,9 & 11 had loads to do all weekend. The owners are probably the friendliest we have come across, and the site is unspoilt and immaculately kept. One for the must visit again column.

I can only endorse what everyone else has said about Fforest Fields. It is a beautiful site, extremely well organised while staying very relaxed. If there is nobody around when you arrive, you choose a pitch and a book is provided for you to put your name and your pitch number into. We were impressed with the "honesty box" system in the shop/reception - even down to paying for your stay. There are TV aerials supplied for a suggested donation of 50p per night to the air ambulance. Everything seems to have been thought of for your enjoyment.
The site itself is beautifully laid out and maintained - unlike some of the other David Bellamy Gold Award sites we've been on recently where nothing is done. Fforest Fields manages to combine a landscaped and attractive site with natural areas for conservation.
We will definitely go back - just a shame it's too far for us to go for a weekend.

Would recommend this campsite to everyone wanting a tranquil yet friendly break, right in the heart of mother nature at her best.
The hosts George, Katie and family do an absolutly sterling job. You can always find one of them milling around from early morning until late evening should you have any problems or just need any advice or information.
The site is beautifully kept and we found all the amenities always clean and tidy with unlimited HOT showers although a little dated.
Our group consisted of two families ranging from mid sixties to teenagers and we all had a wonderfull time. We all agreed that we would definitely return to visit this site again in the not to distant future.
Keep up the good work George and Katie your site is a credit to you. (Camping as it should be!).

Excellent site - flat even camping land, with some nice personal touches like fridge and freezer for customer's use.
Very friendly owners with a brilliant attitude to camping folk and views to die for. Not one problem all week and a site even the kids want to go back to.
No on-site club etc which made it perfect for us - definitely one we'll return to.

What a great site, I was so relaxed I nearly forgot to go home, going again in August, refreshing not having the feeling your being ripped off.
One thing I would say, they could look at the electric, I was running a fridge and anything else just tripped it, that just may be me I dont know, but recommend - it otherwise 10/10

Returned from this lovely campsite yesterday. What a great weekend. When we arrived George found us a sheltered spot to pitch our huge tent and introduced our neighbours. The kids loved fishing in the ponds, so if you've got fishing nets take them, it keeps them occupied for hours. The site is also brilliant for bikes, you could let the children go off around the site on their bikes and not worry too much about their safety as everyone drives slowly. I would have liked to go for some walks in the surrounding hills and woods but what with the fishing we did'nt have time!! It was also great to watch the paragliders taking off from the hill and landing in the field next to the site. How nice it is to wake up to the sound of sheep and birds.
The toilets and showers are quite basic and there could be more of them but they are kept very clean with plenty of soap and loo roll. There are also washers and tumble dryers for a modest fee, and not forgetting the supplies of milk, eggs, bread etc with honesty box to pay for them. This is a really nice friendly site that I'm sure will suit all ages and I am looking forward to visiting again in the future.

Excellent! What a lovely site. Set in a very quiet area just outside Builth Wells (5 miles), this site is what camping and caravanning was made for. Very friendly owners, there are a few on site provisions (bread, eggs, bacon, milk and butter.....everything you need for a hearty English brekkie!) with an honesty box. Free TV aerials for you to borrow, which you WILL need (!) as this site is in a valley surrounded by hills and forest. Lovely paths and pools around the farm, which you are allowed to wander freely on. The site itself has a stream and shallow pools running through it, which is great for children to wade in, and they are encouraged to do so. The wildlife is abundant, first time I've ever heard a cuckoo! Can't wait to re-visit this site.... congratulations to George & Katie on a truly lovely experience.

A lovely peaceful and friendly site. All you can hear is bird song, so very tranquil. Builth Wells is a short drive away, and a pub serving nice food and real ales is within walking distance. Set in a beautiful area, with the Elan Valley within easy reach. We lost count of the number of Buzzards and Red Kites we saw over our stay!
We had a great break here, just what the doctor ordered. We loved the simplicity of the site, honesty boxes etc, it creates a really nice feel. The only thing on the downside is that the current toilet and shower facilities are cramped - however plans are afoot for replacements.
I would put this site on the list to go back to.

Last camp of the year but we just had to try out our new tent. We got lost on the way due to bad navigation and arrived in the pitch dark so with the help of car headlamps.. little office phone thing meant we could ask permission to do this first.. little shed shop with honesty box has bread eggs bacon etc. all very nice and all people very friendly we had never shared a site with caravans before but did not find this a problem at all..
Elecric hook ups available and free TV ariels if you need one lovely wildlife and little brooks through out and just outside washing area they very kindly put up the 5 day weather forecast so you know what to expect... thank you very much we will be back !!!

This site is a delight, peaceful and in beautiful surroundings. The owners are friendly and helpful and the facilities are good. There were not many campers when we went in September but because of the type of site it is, we found that the other users were considerate and friendly. All you could hear at night was the wildlife. Heaven.

This must have been one of the best sites that I have ever stayed on. Everything was clean and well laid out, the pitches were large enough that if we wanted we could have had a gazebo next to our tent. The area around the site was so tranquil and lovely places to visit and if your into walking then you cant go wrong with a visit to the Elan Valley, what a perfect place to see the Red Kite birds just souring around the sky. I know that I shall be going back in the not too distant future.

What can I say? A truly wonderful site especially for dog owners. We have 2 rescue Springer spaniels (not for the faint hearted) and they had a fantastic time both on the scamper and in the woods. Oh and we loved it too! No club, no pub just unspoilt surroundings and friendly site owners. Would love to be there bank holiday but fully booked be warned I may book now for next year!

Just got back from this site today and was so impressed that I had to submit a recommendation. This site is fantastic!! We visited with our whippets in tow on our first ever caravanning expedition and we were all delighted. It is a beautiful peaceful haven and I would definately go again and again and again! Everything that has been said previously still holds true, this place is a little bit of heaven! Thanks George and Katie for making us so welcome, keep up the excellent work and I really wish I could pack up and leave home and run your village shop! Got to go now because my dogs are feeling very depressed now they're back home!

I can only echo all the good points made. We loved it!
Owners are especially friendly and helpful. We had pitched badly encroaching on the (vacant)neighbouring pitch, but were told "don't move, stay put and enjoy". When enquiring about the pile of TV ariels we thought for hire - we were told "take one, no charge". No charge for awnings either. A lovely approach. This set the tone for our very enjoyable stay.
Beautiful setting, natural playground for children, spacious pitches. A real opportunity to chill out.
Days out: Elan Valley, which is spectacular & Brecon Beacons for walking. Also went to Pembrokeshire for day. Well worth the very senic journey (despite the mileage honestly!). Bosherton Lilly Ponds, Broadhaven and Barafundel beach were storming. Can't wait to do it all again!

What a great camp site if you are looking for a site that is quiet rather than a site with club house pool etc then this is the place to head for. We regard this as the site to judge all others by!
We were made very welcome on arrival. The facilities were good, toilets always clean and there are a fridge and freezer for guests use.
The site is very dog friendly, with seperate exercise areas and a wealth of great walks locally.
I really can't make any critism of this site. We will definitely be returning.
