 Well, how do I leave a good review. I would have to list hundreds of good points on this site with no negatives. So the best way to leave a review is to say that this is the best camp site I have ever stayed on. Clean, plenty off room, spotless showers/ toilets and on top of that very friendly owners. How to sum it up '' Perfect''

Having read the reviews on here and the daughter at an event at the royal welsh show ground, had to give it a go.
Expectations were high, the welcome we received was warm and welcoming. A pitch was selected for us and to be honest could not have asked for better. Take note they do not accept credit card payment.
Facilities were first rate and the camper well catered for with nice little touches to make your holiday special.
If I have to find fault with anything, it would have been nice to have a children's play area with swings and slide, if only as a communicable area for kids to meet up and play.
Bottom line would I go back - in a heartbeat, but more for a long weekend rather than a longer family holiday.

Well another great time spent at Fforest Fields.
This is the 1st time we have been since having the new toilet/showers/ washing drying block, wonderfully clean & the best we have used.
The showers were fantastic plenty of room, plenty of hooks for hanging of clothes, hot water & a mop available to clean up after yourself.
Also available free of charge are fridges, freezers, kettle, microwave & plenty of info of the surrounding area.
We had a lovely pitch in 1 of the corners which backed onto the fields by the boating/swimming lake. It was a large pitch which allowed us to have our tent & have a wind break/tarp set up for sitting under in the evening with a camp fire. Roasting marshmallows
Just being built is a sun shelter for sitting under by the lake.
As before everyone was friendly, the site was clean & tidy & nothing was too much bother.
Campsite is set in amongst beautiful surroundings. No play park but all the kiddies had a great time. Its a wonderful place to relax & chill & feel like you have and a break & not somewhere you feel the need to be busy all the time.

This was our 3rd visit to the fantastic Fforest Fields and once again it was brilliant.
The weather definitely wasn't in our favour, but we had a wonderful time, the kids didn't mind playing out in the rain & loved cycling and going for walks in the beautiful countryside, we walked to the pub in Hundred House for lunch on one day.
The facilities were always lovely & clean and although it was a bank holiday weekend there was never a wait to use the showers. The shop is well stocked & the sausages are really tasty!
The owners & family are so welcoming and helpful.
We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Well what can we say about fforest fields that hasn't already been said
What a fantastic site very well cared for. Pitches were quite large in size on the sports field and the grass was kept at a good length for comfort
The facilities are the best we've encountered by far kept spotless all the time even though we had constant rain for 2 days
Great washing up area indoors and even a drying room
The shop is stocked with a few bits and bobs and operates under a honesty box policy and the door is open 24/7
George and Katie and family are on hand to help with anything
Will definitely return and can't wait to do so

First time at Fforest Fields and booked it because of all the great reviews on UKCS.
We only stayed one night and the weather wasn't fantastic so maybe that's why we're not raving about the place as many others seem to be????
You book yourself in (when the owners are not around), sign into the register and put your payment in an honesty box. No problems with that at all. We chose a nice big hardstanding pitch near the facilities. The central washroom area was large and very clean, as the whole of the site was. The walks around the fishing lake and boating lake were lovely, even in the rain. We attempted to walk to the 'local' pub through the land belonging to the site but it was extremely muddy, partly caused by the weather but mainly by mountain bikes who'd been there the week before! We didn't get to the pub so cannot comment on it sadly! However, we took a different (drier!) path upwards and the views surrounding the site were fantastic.
As a site, it's probably perfect for caravanners with cars and lots of kids who'd certainly be kept entertained for hours on end, but not really for us motorhomers.

From the moment you drive in you can tell you're onto something a little special.
Even with heavy rains all weekend the place was clean and tidy, staff friendly and everything thought out from the well stocked honesty shop to the dry room which was heavily used!
Even when fully booked the the facilities were never over crowded, plenty of space for the kids to play and freedom to pitch how you wanted.
All in all a little cracker!

Well what a great site !
Lovely and clean, lovely owners, spacious pitches and walks to die for. As Dog owners we had so much choice it was wonderful, swimming to as ponds nearby plus more to be found on walks.
Nearest Pub is about a mile away, Dogs not allowed in at all but is just a local and a bit tired but the Landlord was ok. The other pub about 5 miles away we were advised was superb, next visit we will visit there for sure.
The site is a good size and not to big but the owner has 550 acres so everywhere you walk in the woods etc is all his and is very well sign posted so you would struggle to get lost. Possibly our best site to date, can't say more than that.
We WILL return for sure.

I went to this site years ago when the lakes were just being developed and the toilets were a porter loo, the loos were the only downside. It was the only site I had been to where the little shop only stocked essentials and you put your money in an honesty box. It was fantastic. I haven't been able to return until now but all the promised potential has been realised. The open farm land offers longer walks than my dogs have been used to, fantastic toilets and friendly welcoming staff.

Aaaand relax!
First timers at this UKCS popular campsite and I am so glad we made the effort to visit.
A lovely warm welcome at reception, everything explained to us and a choice of pitches given! I think you are spoilt for choice at the site as there are so many lovely pitches, we spotted a few we'd like to try on future visits.
Little details like mobile phone chargers in the freezer room, a room to hang your dry clothing in and the oh so lovely heated toilet/showers are so welcome. It was so cold outside, that my DH and I considered sneaking into the toilets to have a snooze in the warm :)
Clearly the finer details have been thought about and the owners have thought about what they would like to see and provided it for their guests.
The views are second to none, waking up to a beautiful sunrise was so welcoming on our first morning. Puts a smile on your face if nothing else.
Despite it being Easter weekend, and the site was busy, it never felt cramped or overcrowded. Never had to queue for toilets or showers either. The site just had a lovely relaxed feel to it.
We WILL be back. Not soon enough, but it will happen. Our previous fave site has been pushed to one side and FF is now a firm favourite on our campsite list.

What can I say. Absolutely fabulous!
This site is a real gem and all campsite owners should visit, the owners are great hosts, their attention to detail in relation to everyone relaxing and enjoying their hospitality is great. The best example, has to be when we need some onions, we visited the shop to find there weren't any, so the owner not only went to their home to get us some, they wouldn't take a penny for them!
The toilet block is great, clean warm and a very good standard. The washing Jo fan ileitis are superb, with complementary washing up liquid and cloth. There is a hot room to dry any clothes that get wet and a laundry room if you require.
If you enjoy camping, or you are a first time camper, you'll absolutely love this site!
We will definitely be back!

What can I say the reviews say it all! However a few glitches with the electricity and when we rang the number given in reception after the third time it went off within 2 hours and got a harsh comment back almost drove us away the following morning demanding our money back. Almost. As the owners got it sorted the following day so fixed the problem making sure that they had happy customers! We will be back as the site is amazing plus glitches aside, we had a brilliant time!
Llandridnod wells and builth wells both within close driving distance and are lovely places to visit!(big tesco in Llandridnod)
Facilities are spot on, plus miles of walks from site, our dog loved the lakes! For sure we'll be back, sooner rather than later! Best site we've been to and can't wait to go back!

Hi all,
We've just got back from our first trip of the year. As usual, Fforest Fields couldn't of been a better choice. We only could stay for 2 nights, but was much needed.
Facilities fantastic, people fantastic and area fantastic. What more is there to say!
Our 2 puppies came with us, on their first caravan trip. They thoroughly enjoyed all the walks.
Such a shame we couldn't of stayed longer.
We will be back soon!

What a find! We asked if we could have a hook up on a grass pitch and have the space to experiment with the combination of our newly purchased micro caravan and awning with the option to link the unit to our tent. All went well and we started to check out the facilities. The owner has thought of everything a camper / caravanner / motorhome user may need, and provided it in a modern building including microwave and electric kettle. The lakes are recently constructed and are establishing well. The walk to the local village pub is well marked as is the footpath onto the hills and beyond [free maps at reception] The site is well positioned for touring the area and we will definitely return.

Stayed in Fforest Fields for a week in September after reading all the rave reviews and were not disappointed. A lovely site with all the amenities you need. The shower block is big (so hollow sounding) and very clean with several showers, wash basins and one cubicle. There is a drying room for your damp (or wet) gear. There’s also a room with freezers, microwave and an area for mobile phone charging. The washing up area is inside which is quite nice especially when it rains and/or gets a little cooler.
There are two lakes, which although we went to, didn’t use and would be fun for children on warmer days.
The site works on an honesty policy for the shop and also upon arrival (which is a tad confusing if you’ve not used the site before). In the signing in book we were allocated a plot but when we found it someone was using it so had to go back to the office to phone someone and were told to choose one for ourselves. It was our first time on hard standing and it worked well. The plots all seem to be ample in size.
The site is away from any road traffic and is quiet although the one morning we stayed at the site a little later, there were dogs barking from what seemed to be Kennels but it didn’t happen in the early/mid morning or when we got back in the early evening so not sure about that.
The area is great, lots of places to go and see, mountains to climb, waterfalls, reservoirs, walks and the skies at night are absolutely beautiful, so full of stars.
The only downside, which it seems like countless other camp users had experienced, was the warm welcome and offers of help from friendly campsite staff. We saw absolutely no-one in the week we were there and did need advice on a couple of things but no-one was there to ask. We could have phoned someone but it’s not quite the same, so managed on our own. The site was very quiet and then a lot of campers/caravanners left in our first two days, so I understand why there wasn’t anyone there. In the “freezer room” there is lots of information about the area, but it didn’t say where the nearest supermarket was, the local chippy and information like that – perhaps a little tip for the owners - a little bit more of local information please for newcomers to the site.
