 Stayed here for 2 nights over a weekend in august.
Beautiful site in a fantastic location, just outside Brecon. Pitches are laid out well, no overcrowding. Toilets and shower block are incredibly clean, they are cleaned twice daily and it shows. By far the best facilities I have been in so far.
I would no no hesitation in staying here again, everything about it was almost perfect.
Would have been a 10/10 if only you could have had a camp fire.

Currently on this lovely site and using their FREE WiFi to leave this review. A largish site that is quite busy but retains a quiet/peaceful atmosphere. The shower block and other facilities are superb - one of the best we have ever stayed at.
Staff are friendly and helpful.
Location is perfect for cycling/walking along the canal towpath.
Canalside pub in village not tried yet but travelled a couple of miles and had meal at The Star Inn at Talybont on Usk last night that was excellent.
Definitely a site to return to. You can do it cheaper but you won't do it better.

Very nice site in a small village just outside Brecon. Quite busy as it was high season just starting and plenty of Caravans, Motorhomes, and Tents but as pitches are laid out well and segregated didn't feel crowded.
Stayed two nights and the facilities were spotless and staff friendly.
Price wise its slightly on the high side, but worth it for the location and excellent facilities.
Free Wifi, but range wasn't huge !

Beautiful site in fantastic location with views all round. We only stayed one night(a Friday)as touring. As we did not need a hookup or the toilet facilities we stayed on the meadow, which was mainly tents. Staff very helpful and happy to let you walk round the site before booking in to ascertain where you would like to be. Site is alongside the canal which is hidden by the boundary trees but access to the towpath is via a short walk down the road. Local pub in the village(which we didn't try) has canalside garden. Water points, and bike/boot wash, on the meadow but all other facilities including drying room, are located in the buildings attached to reception and adajacent to the areas mainly used by caravans and motorhomes/campervans (there are some tent pitches there). This means that the tents on the meadow have a substantial walk to the facilities - not so bad when the weather is good but bad news if its raining. Really needs a toilet block/dishwashing facility on the meadow - particularly at the prices charged. Would have been very peaceful had it not been for the extremely noisy lawnmower - the operator had ear defenders but sadly they were not issued to the campers! Sites of all sizes have grass and site owners obviously need to cut it when customers are in residence so why can't manufacturers make quieter mowers. Lighting in the toilets/showers and information room is poor and makes is seem somewhat dowdy.

Wow, what a beautiful campsite, the first of two we stayed at this weekend, and gosh what a difference, this was small friendly accommodating, the fields were kept very tidy, it was calm quiet and tranquil, I immediately felt at ease on this site, toilets and shower blocks were large and very clean, even with people just stopping for the night and moving on, the site felt safe.
Well done, see you again soon.

Excellent site in a beautiful peaceful setting, spacious pitches with own bit of privacy provided by hedge rows.
Lovely clean shower/toilet block along with ample fridges and dish washing facilities all cleaned regularly.
The site was busy but was pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was, great little local pub 150yds outside of camp and easy access onto the canal path which you can walk all the way into Brecon.

Friendly welcome and given a choice of pitches which is always a bonus! Very nice grounds and very well kept. Pitch size varies but ours in The Oaks was spacious and had a lovely view of the hills beyond. Great location - ideal starting point for cycling, canoeing or just walking along the canal. Clean and plentiful washrooms. Useful info room. A great campsite which we'd definitely return to. Only downside was that nothing was done about a noisy group of boys who thought it was ok to kick balls over other people's pitches.

We stayed at the site for just one night, mid-week in March. The site was very well laid out with excellent facilities; from access to fridge freezers and drying room to the high standard toilet and shower block.
We walked to the local village (Talybont) 2 miles along the Canal and had dinner in the The White Hart pub which had a roaring fire and excellent menu.
We found the campsite to be very well placed for walking and could definitely spend longer exploring. The pitches were a good size and not crammed in at all.
We did find the site was very expensive out of season (>£14 a night without EHU) so would not visit in the peak season.

Excellent site with impressive facilities. Layout makes a pleasant change from traditional caravan club site
On Taff Trail and also Brecon & Monmouth canal providing a choice of routes to cycle in to Brecon. Next village of Talybont is worth a visit particularly to The Star which is a proper real ale pub. The pub in Pencelli (The Royal Oak?) is good but keeps odd opening times such as closing at 3 pm in the height of the holiday season
Fairly pricey site but excellent facilities. If staying for more than 2-3 days you might want to way up how much you would benefit from the facilities. Probably a different equation for a motorhome than a tent

A lovely site about 2 miles from Brecon. The site is very well kept with modern clean toilet block, drying room, which was very well heated, and a nice playground.
The campsite is split into 3 areas - Hardstanding, Tents/cravans with some electric hookup, and a tents only ares with spacious pitches.
Its a campsite for the descerning camper and would suit those who enjoy walking or cycling. The Taff Trail runs close to the site and is good for walking and cycling.
The owners are friendly but unobtusive.
Will definitely visit again.
There are 2 good pubs in the nearby village.

Stopped just 1 night with the tent whilst travelling on motorbikes. We have stopped here before in the caravan and love it. This is the second best site I have ever stayed at, very clean, toilets and showers are spotless. Nice on site shop. Well kept site and flower beds. The only bad point I have is the price, 1 night in a tent was £23 which is quite steep but I suppose you get what you pay for. There is a lovely canal walk just yards away. Its a nice walk into tallbont on usk where there are 2 pubs which serve food.

We visited this site regularly a few years back but stopped camping after our first child came along. This year we thought we'd have another go (now with 2 small kids) and picked Pencelli as we were familiar with it and it had never disappointed before. So glad we did. Still a fantastic site with spotless facilities all round. Agree with other reviewers that a shower/toilet block in the meadow would be useful but I suspect it would be a difficult undertaking. We now book in the oaks area for the EHU and the pitches there are great. Very roomy and split by little hedges so people are not forever walking right past as they are on some other sites.
I would not hesitate to recommend this site to anyone, but book early as it gets busy quickly.

This was our first visit and wont be our last, the shower block and toilets are outstanding, clean tidy and pleasant, score 10 out of 10
The pitch and surrounding area again outstanding and well maintained, if you are pitched in the middle of the hook up points then you will require a lead longer than 25 meters as the are about 60 meters apart so be warned
Our stay was a peaceful and relaxing through out the day, and almost silent from 9 pm onwards considering the site was quite full I was pleasantly surprised
My only criticism is the pricing, can turn out to be rather expensive if you have kids and an awning and require electric, and for that reason we wont be having a family holiday here, but for a weekend break for two the I would say its well worth it

This was our first and last visit to the site. Yes the shower block & toilets are outstanding and kept very clean all of our stay. The pitch and site is well maintained but the trip to the loo and sinks with your dishes is far too far and the price for a tent for two is rather expensive. You need a second block in the meadow field for the campers. We also had children out playing at 7. 30 on the Saturday morning riding their bikes and playing in the trees. Not funny. The local pub serves really nice food. Sorry won't be back.

We have found our weekend bolthole !
Had a fabulous weekend at Pencelli Castle in June this year. You couldn't wish for a more beautiful location, overlooking the Beacons.
All of the great reviews on here are spot on - a friendly, extremely well run site. As an indication of how helpful the owners are, we had to cancel our first booking with them but when we 'phoned they couldn't have been more understanding or accommodating and allowed us to arrange another date without losing our deposit. These are clearly folks who understand campers !
The site is absolutely immaculate and we had a very warm welcome on arrival before being shown to our pitch in the Oaks area. These pitches are very spacious, have electric hook up and drinking water close by. Pitches are divided by small hedgerows which really add to the look of the site.
Facilities at the site are excellent, even down to the piped music in the spotless toilets and shower room! Washing up facilities are excellent and there is also use of communal fridge freezers. Facilities are cleaned regularly and maintained to a very high standard. The on-site shop is well stocked and has good opening hours.
Location is perfect for the Brecon Beacons National park and the site is around a mile and a half walk along the canal to Talybont-on-Usk. The walk into Brecon is around four miles but well worth it on a sunny afternoon.
Although very busy when we stayed, the site is peaceful and quiet at night and everyone treated their neighbours with respect.
This will now be our first choice site when we have a chance to get away at short notice. I just hope it's not too popular for us to book in !
