 Amazing site, perfect for young children. Stayed here in the run up to Easter so my husband could go fly fishing in the local rivers which was bought as a birthday gift. We are a family with two young children ages 5 and 7. The kids loved the site, especially the playground and the woodland areas. Immaculate site, spotless and well kept. The gardener even chopped a few branches off a tree for us as they were hanging a bit close to our Motorhome. The playground is in a separate field which is very well cared for. Playground equipment is aimed at younger children. Ideal for my 5 year old but 7 year old was just as happy playing football and basketball in the field. Both kids enjoyed paddling in the stream every day and the little obstacle course in the woods. We walked into town one day. Not much there but worth a stroll out if you have the time. It took us around half an hour with the kids but was a pleasant stroll next to the canal. We also used the soft play barn opposite the site entrance which was a nice little place. And free wifi! Only other recommendation is to visit the Three Horseshoes pub which is a 15 minute walk from the site. Just remember to take a torch if you are coming back after dark! It's through the woods (dog walk) and down a country lane. Fab food though and great service. Book a table though as they get really busy. Would definitely return if we were in the area.

Our first visit to this site and definitely won't be the last. Yes, there is indisputably road noise from virtually everywhere on the site but it wasn't overly intrusive to us and seemed to quieten down at night. An upside to the proximity of the main road is easy access to the site of course!
The site is well laid out with two spotless facilities blocks and very friendly staff. There are fantastic views of the Beacons from some parts of the site and Brecon itself is about a 20 minute pleasant walk along the nearby canal or a 5 min drive.
The town is pretty motorhome friendly with none of the dreaded height barriers although it has to be said there isn't a lot in the town itself, aside from the castle and the usual shops.
The site is well placed for touring the area. We drove to Merthyr to the Brecon Steam Railway (recommended) and the drive was through stunning scenery.
All in all a lovely site. The only point I would make is that the nearest pub, the Three Horseshoes, is posited as an easy 5 to 10 minute walk from the site. As my other half has some mobility issues, I tried this out and the walk is not easy for the unfit or less mobile. It involves descending a steep slope ( and necessarily ascending it on the way home) and the final stretch from the lane to the pub itself is also extremely steep. There is no pub car park and little on street parking either so it's either walk or taxi ( £10 from site to pub and back) The pubs reputation for good food was tempting but in the end we didn't bother. I am not detracting from the pub but think it should really be made clear that the slightly less mobile or unfit would struggle to make the journey on foot, especially in the dark or the rain.

We had a one night stop over here on the way home from Snowdonia. We had stayed here before but prior to the CC owning the site and you can see where all the money has been spent, it's a beautifully kept and very well run site.
Campers were coming in thick and fast when we arrived and the lone warden coped really well on her own. Friendly and efficient and full of useful information.
Two facilities blocks on site and both spotless. Lots more hardstandings now too and some with views of the mountains.
We walked into Brecon along the canal (the wardens will give you written directions). Plenty of pubs, cafes and posh coffee shops to eat and drink in but we opted for a salad from Morrisons sat overlooking the castle (as you do!).
There's a lovely pub within 15/20 minutes walk from the site. However, beware, it's VERY popular so booking is essential. We'd not booked and couldn't get a table so we had a pint sat in the sunshine and then walked back to the site and cooked!
Will definitely use the site again but probably only for one night stop overs on our way home and will definitely book a table at the pub beforehand!

This site is one-off the best we have stayed at its perfect shower block spotless in fact the whole site is perfect even walking round the site staff knew our names which is very unusual.
I'm really lost for words as it was so good I would go back tomorrow and not move from the site.
Thank you so much to all the staff for making it such a good stay We really didn't want to leave.

First visit here for us indeed we haven't been to Wales for several years.
Easy to locate the site - upside of being near main roads. Very friendly hard working wardens who keep the site immaculate.
Well stocked site shop, view from our pitch was of the mountains - perfick, modern toilet blocks never had to queue on this holiday in fact rarely saw anyone else in there! !
Dog walk a real bonus and once we'd found the Three Horseshoes extended their walk further ha ha. Would recommend booking for a meal there as the food is excellent.
Easy walk into Brecon for an explore and can be made circular by going along by the river which has foot path signs.
We were here when the lightening struck several walkers and would like to add our condolences.
As mentioned by other reviewers there is a lot of road noise so if you're expecting peace and quiet this may not be to your liking.
The children have their own large field for all their ball games etc although the big group of children who spent the weekend seemed to prefer the roadway. There is a camping section which was full that weekend and although the caravan grass pitches were very spacious, the tents seemed crammed in.
Stunning scenery all around and the experience of climbing Pen y Fan and the view from the top will never be forgotten. Nor will the fact that our cat had stowed away under our bed and thoroughly enjoyed his unplanned fortnight in Wales! !

Back to Brecon again lovely site with nice views of the beacons. Great facilities always clean there are two blocks one at the top and one at the bottom of the site, Well stocked shop with warm rolls in a morning. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It has the best dog walk I have ever seen and we don't have one. There is a bus stop outside the site but the bus we went for never arrived. The walk by the canal to Brecon from the site was further than we anticipated being in our 70's and no benches for a rest. We came back by taxi, a nice town with supermarkets, shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and a small theatre by the canal. At the bottom of the site after the dog walk is a lovely foot path through the wood by a stream (steep in places) leading to a quiet lane walk took me twenty minutes to The Three Horse Shoe pub lovely food but advice booking a table. Not suitable for disabled buggies but we found an entrance to lane via the road. Well worth a visit if you like canal waking.

Just spent 4 nights at this wonderul site. Wardens very friendly. The site is kept immaculate mind you it always looks better when the sun is shining. There are 2 facility blocks. These were built last year and are always clean. There is a lovely long dog walk on site in the woods.
All pitches are spacious but you do suffer from road noise if pitched next to the dual carriageway.
There is a good size shop on site that has daily newspapers, milk, bread and a decent selection of food plus caravan spares.
There is a lovely walk up the canal to Brecon. There is a canal trip from the basin in Brecon through a set of locks to the viaduct. Nice way to spend a couple of hours on Dragonfly cruises or you can hire a boat and have a go yourself.

We have just come back from 4 fantastic nights at this wonderful site. It has recently been fully refurbished and the faculties are great.
We stayed with our tent and friends had a camper van. We had plenty of space as there were only a 2/3 other tents staying while we were there. It can take up to 12 tents and when full it would be quite cosy. All the tent pitches were lovely flat grass and all have electric hook up. They back onto the children's play area and are separated from it by a 10 foot hedge. It was great for us as we were able to let our 6 year old play on the swings and still listen out for her.
Shower blocks
We only used the upper one, but the lower one looked identical from the out side. So what do you get.
6 large showers with plenty of space to change. There was never any waiting for a shower and no matter what time we went there was plenty of hot water and good pressure. 3/4 basin units. At least 6 toilets and 3 sinks with mirrors and hair dryers. They were very clean and lovely to use with lots of hooks every where for towel/cloths ect.
Indoor washing up area with 4 sinks.
A laundry room with 2 washers and 2 dryers
There was a family and disabled wash room but we did not use it.
Radio 2 was played through speakers through out the block all the time. Great when washing up!
Reception
Well staffed by friendly wardens. You choose your pitch then they give you a 'unit' that opens the gate.
Shop
Well stocked with all the usual items off food and cold beer/wine, daily newspapers and magazines, lots of useful caravan items. They don't do freezing of ice packs, but do have large bags of ice for £2.
Play area
Very large field, well mowed. There is an area with a small climbing frame, 2 swings and a seesaw/round about thing. There are also 2 basketball/football hoops/goals to use. Plenty of space for all sorts of games.
Dog walk and adventure area
There is a great circular dog walk. It goes down to a stream which was great for paddling in as it was fairly shallow and was full of rocks and pebbles you could walk across it in. In the winter I would imagine it may be too fast/deep, but we had a great few hours in it. Nest to it is a wood land kids adventure course, one of those ones with balance beams and lots strung together with chains for the kids to climb along. It was one of the longest ones I have ever seen and lots of fun for kids and adults alike. A 10 min walk from the back of the dog walk is a Pub, we did not use it but were told it was good.
We didn't take our daughters bike but wish we had as there was plenty of space for kids to cycle round in a safe environment.
Location
Only a few mins drive or 30 min walk along the canal from Brecon. Easy to get to walking and into the Brecon park from here.
Over all a great site, even though it can take a large number of vans/tents it never felt crowded. Defiantly one we will be going back to.

Beautiful location, very accessible, close to risks & well signposted. Excellent site. I believe it's just been refitted and the facilities were pristine and plentiful. Helpful over the phone booking and on site staff helpful - within opening times but later than planned which can be a nuisance when quiet. A big site but landscaped so didn't feel it. One night only so didn't use local entertainment, which appears comprehensive. Before schools had broken up so quite quiet. A real joy & would use this again as a base for the area.

Spent a very pleasant week here and very impressed with the facilities, wardens very friendly and approachable, toilets and showers spotlessly clean even in very busy periods, shop very well stocked, dog walk is great even a stream for our pampered pooch to cool off in! spoke to several people who visit regularly and I can see why, we had a fully serviced pitch with plenty of space, there was a problem with the electrics on site which was dealt with promptly and we were kept informed by the wardens of how long it was likely to last( honesty goes a long way) nice views from the site and an easy walk along the canal into Brecon. Will definitely visit again.

Pros:
Excellent scenic location
Fantastic wardens
Best kept grass on any of the 8 sites we have visited in last month!
Very hot water
Good shop on site.
Best ever 'dog-walk' of any site we have visited - dog off-lead and nice little river for a swim! Also pleasant and safe/traffic-free 10 min stroll to very friendly pub in local village - dogs ok in bar and free wifi! Not tried food but guess good quality as restaurant quite busy despite the somewhat high prices compared to most 'pub-grub'.
Buses to Brecon every 2 hours from site entrance; or 27 minute walk along canal tow-path! (As measured by yours truly and spaniel!)
Cons:
Although very clean - to usual CC high standards etc the facilities now a little dated and in need of upgrading. Surprisingly no hooks to hang towels, clothes etc.
Understand site closing end of Sept until May 2014 for complete refurbishment. (Head of village Rumour Control says costing £2M !)
Will be back - in fact can't wait!

Phoned a couple of days prior to visiting the area on the off chance of getting a pitch and were lucky that they had a couple of cancellations so could fit us in for the weekend.
Wardens were very helpful and friendly on arrival and we were soon set up on a EHU pitch.
The toilet block is in need of some upgrading but that said was kept very clean and up to the normal Caravan Club standards.
A great walk along the canal towpath into Brecon town itself and as a bonus it was Jazz Festival weekend so lots to see and do.
We loved this site and the surrounding area and will definitely be returning.

Brynich, or Brecon Beacons as it is known now, is a Caravan Club Site. It is situated on the outskirts of Brecon with panoramic views of the Brecon Beacons in the distance.
This is a large site but you certainly don’t in any way feel crowded, with all pitches quite spacious even for the biggest units. The Wardens are the most helpful I have ever met and are a credit to the Caravan Club Organisation.
The toilet and shower blocks are from the days when this site was a private campsite and all though spotlessly clean they are looking a little dated now and are due for an upgrade in my opinion.
Plenty to see and do in the area from walking and cycling and even sailing, on Llangorse Lake but my favourite is to just chill out and relax in the quiet ambiance of the site as a whole.
For those who enjoy wholesome and hearty food I would recommend the Three Horse Shoes in Groesfaen, a short drive or a pleasant stroll from the site, the food here is reasonably priced and very good quality.

This site is well located near Brecon and its canal.
The tent pitch was flat in a pleasant separate field and located close to the facilities.
This site has a high level of facilities relative to the price we paid (£23 for 3 adults). We did not consider the facilities dated. They were clean, numerous and spacious and we never had to queue. There were 3 washing up sinks situated inside and plenty of space to wash up. There was an averagely priced laundry although we didn't use it.
The shop is excellent. There is a very good pub/restaurant within walking distance.
I am surprised that this site does not have better review ratings, we thought it was so good we took the trouble to move from a nearby site which was charging over 50% more.

I understand that this site has recently been bought from private owners and that improvement works are on-going. The site is easily reached just outside Brecon town on the A470.
The reception area has obviously just been completed and included a well-stocked shop. Pitches were spacious with small trees which provide some shade on this open site. We had a grass pitch although some hard standings were available.
The toilet block we used (there are two) was clean, tidy and spacious but in need of an update to match the reception area. However, there was plenty of hot water and, although the site seemed almost full, we didn't have to wait for a shower.
The Montgomery and Brecon canal runs near the site and there is a lovely towpath work into Brecon. It is reached by crossing a couple of major roads so care is needed. The River Usk is also nearby.
