 Very picturesque site by the River. The road nearby was noisier than we expected but this did quieten down as the evening wore on.
Brecon is great with nice cafes etc and just 10 mins walk (along the road) away. The tower cafe in the church was very pleasant and also had outdoor seating.
Building a campfire was lots of fun and there were plenty of firepits to borrow. Another nice touch was that freeze blocks were free to freeze or you could borrow some from the site if available. Especially good as the freezer seemed to take a long time to freeze the blocks (we may just have rubbish blocks though!)
Toilets and shower were always clean and well-maintained. It was tad off-putting to be able to hear (and smell) people using the toilets while we used the shower though!

Just got back from a fantastic four days camping at priory Mill farm, we all had a wonderful time and look forward to visiting again in the near future.
The site was perfect, with the washroom area kept clean and tidy, long showers available for only 50p. The only negative I could find, was there was no covered area for washing up should the weather be against you.
We camped right beside the river, which was very relaxing, only a short walk into town and at night heard the owl while we lay in our tent, very nice. Our 3 year daughter loved the chickens wandering around the campsite and was impressed with the tree swing

WOW! Is all we can say really, this is by far the very best site we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. It was lovely and peaceful, we pitched next to a little waterfall and the whole site had such a lovely feel to it. Not crowded or hemmed in, just 'peaceful'.
The owners, Susie and Noel are charming and so very helpful, they even dried our boots for us after we left them outside in the rain!
The toilets are spotless, the site is exceptionally well kept, the chickens are 'very well behaved'! and the dog is soooo cute!.
Showers are lovely and clean with hot water via a coin machine (don't put more than one coin in at a time though!).
Our 9 year son old had such a great time and now wants to live there!
All in all, the best site, we loved it so much, we cancelled another site for August and we're going back.
Don't change anything, it's FAB.

The location of this campsite was idyllic - we camped in a meadow next to a bubbling stream. It was lovely and quiet and was not over crowded on the bank holiday weekend.
Just a few gripes that would unfortunately lead us not to camp here again, but it is personal preference. The price was £7 per person per night
No hot water, lights or cover for washing up - not easy to get anything clean in the rain or dark - had to wash everything up again when we got home. There was no soap in the washbasins and no drying facilities.
It was also a little disconcerting having a shower in a cubicle inches from where other campers were doing their business! One of our tents had a visitor in the night which nibbled through the inner tent (into the sleeping area) to have a midnight snack on our food.
It is more like wild camping, but basic facilities we feel should be included in the price are hot water for washing up and soap in the toilets.

This is the best campsite we've ever visited. The owners (Noel and Susie) make you feel very welcome and keep the place ticking over without any intrusion.
The shower and toilet block are immaculate and the log fires are a great touch. Apart from cooking on them they give you the atmosphere of wild camping.
Although I didn't catch any fish, it was a joy to be fishing on such a beautiful river, so rich in wildlife, it didn't really matter that I blanked!
It was a super two weeks and we will be back again and again!

A wonderful site kept very clean by the friendly owners. No noise apart from the river after 22:30 which is fine by me. Toilet and shower block is spotless and the roaming chickens give a very 'rustic' touch to the site.
You are only a ten minute walk from Brecon town and all its facilities plus a couple of nice pubs selling good ale.
I'll be back there again this October and highly recommend this site.

We agree with most of the other reviewers, peaceful,level and lovely facilities for what they were.However,there could be difficulties if the site was busier as these were limited.
However, as the new tariff for 2010 has gone up 40% from £5 to £7, are we still expected to wash up in open air with no light and cold water in only two sinks?
For £5, this was reasonable value, but for £7?

Site was easy to find, case of pitch where you want. Site is alongside the river with newly planted trees throughout. It had been wet for sometime so campers were requested not to drive on the grass but to use the hardstanding parking area - had to carry all gear from there to your pitch but small inconvenience to keep field in good shape and it was nice just to have tents on the field and cut down on the amount of car doors being slammed early and late!
Toilet and shower block was spotless but a bit weird coming out of toilet cubicle then around to the end and in through another door to wash your hands! The metered showers were more than long enough for full shampoo, condition and and shower gel - and temperature was adjustable.
Full recycling available which 'most' people seemed to use. Firepits are an excellent idea as it protected the ground. I was camping solo but I still had a bag of logs for two nights - got to have toasted marshmallows and baked bananas at camp! The smell of woodsmoke at camp - you cant beat it.
As the site is a good base for all things outdoors it would be a good idea to display a 5 day weather forecast on the notice board at the toilet block to give you an idea how to plan your time.
This is a quiet friendly site to camp, good recycling ethos, with no children's area and next to a river it was a very peaceful weekend. I would highly recommend this site and I would use it again.

Just a wonderfully relaxed and beautifully kept site. Us 6 stayed, 2 adults 4 kids 6-10 years old - and they loved it and want to know when we are going back. Despite the rusty Welsh weather (and that really is the only criticism) we enjoyed the delightful river, the real fires, the 10 minute stroll into town and the impeccably kept shower and toilet block. Susie and Noel make you feel very welcome, they keep a great site, just perfect - we will be back year on year!

Beautiful quiet site. Warm welcome from owners who are friendly and helpful. Easy walk to Brecon where there is a variety of shops, a lovely cathedral and canal. We hired a boat for a day and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Toilet block is regularly cleaned; two female, two male toilets and two showers. Idyllic setting; very peaceful for anyone looking for a quiet break.

This campsite was great - it was our first time camping for a number of years - husband myself and out 15 year old son (the older two stayed at home and missed a treat). He really enjoyed the sense of not being on a 'commercial' site and it's simplicity.
The site is secluded and the sound of the river both calming and interesting. Even with the dreadful weather on Saturday night my son enjoyed the opportunity of building a campfire and of course the compulsory marshmallows.
There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and after a trip to Brecon on Saturday morning very close - about 1 m - to collect a forgotten tin opener and pump for the airbed that would work with the car (we really appreciated it all the more after a night on the ground) we went to Hay on Wye and just enjoyed a relaxing stroll around the bookshops.
Owners and fellow campers all very friendly and noise was not a problem unless you have an objection to the sound of the river or the calls of owls! The facilities were exceptionally clean and well cared for and you are encouraged to recycle your rubbish.
Even with the experience of cooking in the rain we are definitely converted back to camping and this relaxed and friendly site really contributed to this.

Were looking for somewhere to escape to for the night, as that's all the time we had.
Email response on enquiry was very friendly and quick.
Site was lovely, nice and small, facilities were spotless and nicely crafted, didn't look out of place in the surroundings.
Gentleman friendly on arrival and assured us they never cram tents in, it got reasonably full while we were there, but we still had enough space.
Little log seats were a god send and a really nice touch. But make sure you grab them when you get there, they are very popular. We didn't have a fire pit, but probably would if we were staying longer.We would never have got through a whole bag of logs, they were a good size.
The babbling river was lovely,as were the wild flowers in the bank, don't think I have ever seen such a variety of ferns.
The only down and only a slight one, was the road was a bit busier than I had imagined it was going to be, mainly rush hour times, was quite later on in evening, and had quietened down around 11am when we were packing up.
All in all lovely site for a peaceful relaxing break. We shall definitely be back.

As has previously been said, a very relaxed campsite, 'small but perfectly formed' comes to mind. The owners, Susie and Noel, were just like the best waiters, always seeming to be there when needed (and not otherwise!).
The facilities were perfectly adequate, although if the site was fuller there could well be delays. No EHU, but we don't use it so no problem (and it probably keeps the trad camping feel all the more). This is a lovely rural campsite, but within 5 or 10 minutes walk of the town centre - the best of both worlds.
In Brecon, for those who like a pub with a garden, there is only one - The Clarence - but a surprisingly nice garden. Didn't try their food, but it seemed like reasonable pub grub. And of course the Brecon Beacons are wonderful - I even enjoyed driving again with so little traffic around!

My partner and I had a fantastic time here. We loved making a wood fire, which allowed us to experience traditional camping. The views from the campsite were beautiful and every morning we woke up to the sound of flowing water from the stream. The owners of the campsite (including the chickens) are really friendly and welcoming.
It is also really well looked after, everyday the bins are emptied, toilet and shower cubicles are cleaned.

We booked three nights on this campsite, as it ticked all the boxes we required: in / near Brecon Beacons, allowed dogs to roam free (off leash), and you could have an open fire.
We arrived in the afternoon, and as luck would have it, it was going to be a very wet weekend indeed. We were asked not to drive our car onto the grass. We duly complied, but it did mean ferrying all our things to and from the car was a small annoyance.
We soon discovered that the campsite is mostly on clay terrain. This means that, when it rains, the whole place becomes a mud pool, with huge puddles. It made finding a spot to set-up our tent very difficult and unpleasant. Then came the worst.
The place is absolutely packed with rules you have to obey. From not being allowed to move the car onto the grass, dogs not allowed free because the owners like to have their chickens free about, rules in the toilet, rules where you were and were not allowed to be, kept one part of the camp site off limits for some reason, and a long etc. This completely ruined our stay. We just didn't feel welcome there, so decided to cut our break one day short and head for home.
On a positive note, the location is very good. The stream is delightful, and is very close to Brecon for the necessary supplies.
We can positively say we will never go back to this campsite. There are much more welcoming places that also allow open fires out there
