Without doubt, this campsite is one of the best I have ever used. That said, a bit of attention to some minor details would polish the site right off.
The site owners were very nearly always out and about on site and could furnish me with local knowledge. The dog walking potential for this site is endless.
The shower block and pot wash were always clean and tidy with an abundance of hot water. The family shower room was also very good. The fact that this site is out in the sticks makes for excellent bird watching, star gazing and nil traffic noise.
The swimming lake and fishing lake are close enough to walk to but far enough away from the children not to cause any problems. The fire pits were a success with all the family, all week.
I will admit that the honesty box system took some getting used to, but was lovely to see and use.
There is a major Tesco in Llandrindod Wells (approx. 15 mins away) with a co-op/petrol station 10 mins away, but with some careful planning, you should never get stuck. The hardstanding pitch we booked was well appointed, although a little bit of 'housework' on the pitch itself wouldn't have gone amiss.
I have one gripe about the site in general, which, in hindsight would in no way stop me from returning. The afternoon before our departure we began some packing away and put our awning away ready for a speedy departure the following morning. Unfortunately, one of the owners saw us packing away and I can only assume, assumed that we were leaving that day. Within a few hours, around 5-6 tents of young-ish couples had set up a semi circle of tents at the bottom of our pitch and had plugged into the hook up of my in-laws. I did challenge the owner chap who rather stumbled and stuttered his way through an explanation.
This site is run very liberally, which in this day is a welcome relief, but, in the future I would ensure my intentions were perfectly clear.
What can I say that hasn't already been said? Third year running we have returned, similar weather - perhaps warmer this year with a little more sunshine hours.
One year on and the toilet/shower block has really bedded down. Still pristine inside and still the best I have encountered.
This has to be the best campsite we have been to in the UK. It is certainly our favourite.
Went on a big long walk through the fields into some villages and over the top and back through the forest. It was one of the suggested routes and was great.
We had our first camping trip here after reading the excellent reviews on here & we certainly weren't disappointed, we had a fantastic time & ended up staying an extra night as it was so lovely.
The owners gave us a lovely warm welcome & were very helpful, there was plenty of space & considering it was the bank holiday weekend I'm sure they could have got loads more people in, they don't fill the site up, so it's never overcrowded.
The toilet block is brilliant & beautifully clean, plenty of hot water & no queues for the showers/toilets.
We took bikes & all had a wonderful time cycling & walking around the beautiful countryside.
We've already booked our second trip there & can't wait, the bar has certainly been set very high for any other campsites we visit :)
Fantastic site! We have been before, but were camping last time. We have just got back from a weekend away at the site, having a trial run with our new caravan. A huge thankyou to the owner, who couldn't do enough to help us onto our pitch! We met some lovely people, especially a family from Oldbury, who helped us with our awning.
The site as usual is spotlessly clean and well looked after! A special thanks to the owners for their hard work and friendliness. We are going again on Sunday for 4 nights. It can't come soon enough!
Just got back from 12 nights at our favourite British site. We had not visited since the new toilet block and facilities were built and as everyone else has found, these were superb.
We were there over the Bank Holiday weekend and the site was busy but the owners do not believe in cramming people in so it was not too full and indeed there were spare pitches.
As always there were some parents who did not seem to care what their children were doing, but on the whole kids were doing what kids like to do and if asked to move away or stop breaking off branches for sword fighting they would comply.
The success of the site is entirely down to the owners who between them put in a huge number of hours in what must be a labour of love. The site was 'manned' from early morning 'til late night. Nothing is ever too much bother, no question or request is ever too stupid and it is down to this that people return year on year!
It was good to see the reception had a few more 'essentials' - in particular Will's sausages and burgers, and the wonderful Conti's ice cream - though I will admit I was a tad OTT on discovering they had the Salted Caramel in stock! Sorry, George!
Fantastic campsite, one of the best I have been to! Would definitely recommend it to anybody. Beautiful setting, nestled in amongst the lovely Welsh hills with potential for a different walk every day of the week without having to get in your car!
Really friendly helpful staff, brilliant very clean facilities with spacious male and female toilet/shower blocks, family room, kitchen with fridges, freezers, kettle, microwave and phone charging points available to campers for free. Also, great washing up facilities, laundry and drying room. Loved the shop with local produce. And the honesty box for payment, so nice to be trusted.
Fire pits available for a small deposit, so we sat around an open fire toasting marshmallows most nights - heaven! Not to mention the fishing lake and swimming lake on site, and the option to hire canoes.
With a location central to Wales, not much of Wales can't be seen on a day trip. We went to the Brecon Beacons, Devils Bridge, and had a day at the coast. Can't praise it enough & can't wait to return!
Had another wonderful stay at Fforest Fields over the bank holiday weekend. We were present at the floating out of the duck house on the fishing lake, very amusing and the addition of the little bridge, gazebo and duck house on the lake looks lovely. My daughter made full use of the swimming lake and went kayaking, we also enjoyed walks from the site, the scenery all around is breathtaking. We also sampled just about everything from the honesty fridges, sausages, bacon, eggs, bread, milk, yoghurt, cheese and most importantly ice cream! All delicious and locally produced. As it was bank holiday the site was quite busy but not overcrowded and full, there was some noise on Sunday night but I heard ( I think ) the owner sorting it out and then all was quiet, and he was back on duty first thing the next morning! All the family's hard work really shows. If you have not tried it, then I would urge you to, there is loads to do and see all around if you like outdoor activities especially, although a lot of things are quite a drive, but I would recommend staying on site for at least part of the time and unwinding in the beautiful surroundings!
We have just returned from five wonderful nights at Fforest Fields. We went with our four children and not once did anybody complain that they were bored. They swam in the lake, borrowed the kayaks and went fishing (although they didn't catch anything). They all made friends, we had some cricket matches, scavenger hunts and lots of good old fashioned fun! In fact, we didn't have to venture off site at all and when we went food shopping the kids were begging us to let them stay on site!
The site itself is very well organised and has a very relaxed feel to it. The amenities are excellent. Surpassed all my expectations.
We would return to this site without hesitation and I really hope we can soon!
What can I add to other reviews. ! Fantastic site and wonderful amenities. Fantastic friendly staff. Views to die for. Plenty for all ages to do from walking Mountain biking or fishing or canoing in the lakes. Toilets and showers are some of the best we have ever come across. Never needed to wait for either. Kept spotlessly clean. Everyone on the site were friendly and very quiet at night. A big thank you to george and the staff for a wonderful job.
Just returned from a whole two weeks at this site. We had high expectations of the site due to all the excellent reviews. I have to say it exceeded all our expectations. This has to be the best campsite and I am not going to repeat what has been said. The whole place has a relaxed atmosphere about it and they have thought of everything. I can honestly say there is nothing negative to say. The site is clean and has everything you need for a great holiday. The toilet block has to be the best we have experienced on any of the campsites we have visited.
We have two teenagers and I did worry that they would be bored but they were more than happy to stay on site and go for walks, swim in the lakes or borrow one of the Kayaks.
When you go to the toilet block on a clear night the night sky is amazing.
Just back from a lovely week at Fforest Fields. The facilities were excellent and the owner's were very friendly and helpful.
It was nice to hire a fire pit for a couple of nights and just sit in deckchairs relaxing with a drink or two. It's the only site we have visited where we have stayed on the site rather than feeling the need to go out and find attractions and things to do. The atmosphere and views are really relaxing.
Major supermarkets are not too far and there is a nice walk to the local pub.
The site is well maintained. We did notice a large number of dogs around with some mess seen but that is of course down to some irresponsible owners rather than the site owners.
We will definitely be going back as, after visiting numerous sites over the years, it is the best site we've been to.
In the heart of mid wales a beautiful site. Toilets and shower facilities were immaculate and the site is spotlessly clean. It is a heaven for dogs and children. The children were on their bikes enjoying themselves. The lakes for swimming and kayaking were great. The walks around the site are fabulous and free fishing in one of the lakes. A beautiful summerhouse has been built on one of the lakes. The pitches were very large and spacious. The family who run the site are very friendly and it is down to their hard work the site is so lovely. Thank you.
Have just come back from 4 nights camping at Fforest Fields in the worst of the summer weather so far. Brand new windbreak broke and thought on many occasions our tent was going to blow away with the huge gusts of wind and rain. The facilities are excellent and always clean. The fridges were always full so found it hard to get any food in there but managed on our third day. Glad of the freezers to refreeze our ice blocks. Lovely site, well maintained pitches with added bonus of the fishing lake and the other lake for canoeing and swimming. Lovely idea of fire pits £5 deposit which you get back, then £3 hire per night plus £6 logs so made an expensive addition to our holiday. We were also asked for a £25 deposit from each family when we booked even though on website it says they do not normally ask for one. Did notice huge piles of dog poo which was not cleared up as there were many dogs on site. Many owners cleaned up their mess but obviously one or two just didn't and kids had to be careful not to walk in it. Not sure our small group was made to feel welcome though. Site more catered for families, couples but not really family group gatherings. Was left rather disappointed after waiting so long and planning our few days away with family friends, that we were made to wonder if we made the right decision to stay at Fforest Fields.
Would we go there again. Probably on our own sometime in the future because the fishing lake our son enjoyed and the other lake our kids thoroughly enjoyed swimming in it and jumping and diving off the pontoon. Not sure our friends would revisit though as not relaxed enough for them and too many rules.
We have just spent a week at Fforest fields with our family, 15 of us in tents folding campers and caravans, we had a good time with days out. The facilities are great all clean tidy and upto date. Its a quiet site with shops etc nearby, on site the small shop stocks a few things and you can hire the fire pits which are great. The only let down was that we were packing up on the Friday to make an early start ( booked in and paid for until Saturday ) which was noticed and we had 8 tents put on our pitches using the hook up before we had left, it did not make the ending of the week very good.
What can I say that hasn't already been said about this wonderful site. We went for my birthday over the 13/14 July and the weather was tropical! I lived in my bikini for the whole 3 days there. How to describe differently from the other reviews - I imagine that the owners were campers prior to coming here and I would like to think that they listed all the things that you would want as a camper and then set about providing everything. The indoor washing up sinks, the free washing machines, the drying room, the fridges and freezers, the microwave and kettle and the lockable mobile phone charging. The free and always immaculate showers and toilets. My other half said that the mens facilities were let down by a few lazy gentleman not cleaning up after themselves in the showers and in some of the toilets - this is not a reflection on the owners - just a minority of inconsiderate campers! We booked a tent pitch with EHU and told to pitch wherever we wanted - so we plumped for the middle of the field. With hindsight - this was a mistake as we had no shade from sun up to sun down. We both took to lying under our cars to try and get some respite from the unusually tropical sunshine. We took a walk to the lake and because of the heat, I found myself swimming with all the others - beats the overcrowded pools in the awful high rise resorts. We will definitely go back, the whole ethos of the owners and their team was to make you feel trusted and welcome - this was never more evident than in the honesty shop. Lots of sausages and bacon from a local farmer. You were never made to feel like you shouldn't be doing something - when we asked if we could have a fire, we were told that camping isn't camping if you don't have a fire. This campsite is up there with the best ones in Europe. The sign of any good site is one with lots of Dutch or Danes and there were plenty here. My only downside is the local area. Having been brought up in Anglesey, I am acutely aware of the lack of facilities in some of the most beautiful areas in Wales and unfortunately, this was no exception. We wanted a nice cup of tea and cake, and both Builth Wells and Llandrindod Wells were lacking. On our last day, we packed up and tried to get something to eat (my other half is stationed in Lulworth Dorset and I live in Manchester, and we like to get the whole day together before we have to go our separate ways). We ventured into Builth, but it was a ghost town with all the pubs telling us that they either didn't serve food, would be serving at 7 or just looking at us if we were mad! I know that living in Manchester I am used to eating out at all hours of the day - but the same can be said for the more rural Dorst also. Don't expect to wined and dined when out, just take lots of lovely food and keep it in the fridges/freezers on site. I nearly forgot - there was no rush to get us off the site. We started packing up about 2pm and off by half 3. There were others around us just starting to pack as we were leaving. A truly wonderful site, we cannot praise it enough. As a seasoned camper both in UK and in Europe - this is right up there with the best. Well done and thank you for making my 41st birthday the best birthday ever - and for making the sun shine! You are all so very clever! Thanks And & Paul xx
