Brilliant site we always have a good stay here shame it's not open all year. Only one issue was the amount of dog mess in the dog walking areas it was only a couple of days into the new season not good just pick it up and bin it.
Wonderful Site
I read all the reviews on this site before arriving and thought oh my, this site is going to be awful. Well it most assuredly isn't. It's by 2 main roads, you can see that on the map, so don't complain about road noise - what do you expect!!! The site is spotlessly clean, the grass mown to within an inch of its life, the toilet blocks pristine and warm and welcoming. We didn't use the shop, so cannot comment on that, but there is a shop. Saturday night a pizza van turned up which was very nice. There are so many walks and bike rides from this site. Just over the road you can access the canal and you can walk into Brecon or into the countryside. Its a wonderfully leisurely walk, level (it being a canal) and you can ride your bike along it for miles. Don't be suprised if you get wet and muddy, it does have puddles along the way. Brecon itself is not that exciting, but there are a few nice shops and coffee shops, so its worth a visit for an afternoon. We drove up to Pen-y-fan where there is lots of parking in the form of laybys all along the road complete with burger vans and magnificent views. The walk up Pen-y-fan is very do-able with a wide well looked after path, but it does get very busy in high season, even in March it was busy. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our few days in Brecon and would recommend it.

Noisy site.
Stayed at Brecon Beacons site for October half term, booked fully serviced pitches, arrived just after site opening time for access and were advised of 3 supposedly vacant pitches together as we were travelling with 2 units. Arrived at pitches to find all 3 taken. Followed map to other pitches to find all were by the 2 very noisy roads. No option but to pick 2 together, thought the trees all around site may subdue noise, big mistake. Noise was virtually continuous, with now the addition of all sorts of leaves, seeds and cones dropping off trees on to caravan roof. Unlike all other sites we have been to all the rubbish/recycling bins were by the 1 toilet block that was open, site shop was opening reduced hours/days due to staff shortages and stock had been let run down as closing at end of the week.
Site facilities were clean and COVID measures in place though not everyone observing them.
Lessons learnt don’t pick pitches near trees, don’t believe arrival times.
Have been disappointed with the quality of club sites this year, premium prices for poor to average pitches. Even split this year with half sites visited disappointing.
One of the best… Except!
We have just spent 4 nights on this site. It’s one of the best CAMC sites we’ve been to. The site and it’s facilities were spotlessly clean and the staff were very welcoming and friendly.
There were ample hand sanitising dispensers and signs everywhere asking for face masks to be worn in toilet blocks etc. Just a shame that a lot of people didn’t think that applied to them!
The site has a large play area for children and one of the best, (in fact two), dog walks we’ve found anywhere.
It’s an easy walk, (about 40 minutes), or cycle, into Brecon along the canal and the Three Horseshoes pub is only a 10 minute stroll from the site. The pub doesn’t look much from the outside but it’s lovely inside and the food is excellent. Crickhowell, Talybont on Usk and Abergavenny are in easy reach by car.
The only downside to the site is that it is bounded on two sides by busy roads and so there is road noise which, if like me, you’re not a good sleeper, you might find a problem however don’t be put off; perhaps try some ear plugs because the site is excellent.
Great Stay of Four Nights
Booked for four nights in October, arrived and had a friendly welcome from the site team, this is the secnd time this year that we felt that we needed a break at Brecon Beacons Site and we had a great few days, the weather was kind the site looke immaculate as aleays a credit to the team who worked hard to keep the site looking great and the facilities spotless. Brecon Club site is only 45 mies from home and we know the area pretty well so knew the best places to eat and drink.
There was only one drawback but I'm not going to take the shine off this brilliant site by mentioning it as it only lasted one night
Very spacious site in lovely location
This is an excellent site with only one drawback, which is the proximity of the main roads. However, if as I did, you can get a pitch as far away from the road as possible, it is certainly tolerable. Everything else is spot on. The pitches are spacious and well separated, and manoeuvring around the site is easy, with clear signs. The facilities are excellent with plentiful waste/water stations and two toilet blocks with ample room, although one was closed when I was there, as it was nearly the end of the season. There is a good shop too, with a decent range of foodstuffs and accessories. The staff is very friendly and helpful too. The area is great for all manner of outdoor activities, including hiking and cycling. The highest point in the Brecon Beacons - Pen-y-Fan - is only a few miles away and in fine weather the ascent is spectacular. Cycling is well catered for as one can cycle along the nearby canal in either direction and there are plentiful quiet lanes nearby, although these can be quite hilly. I'd definitely go back. Unfortunately the site is not open all the year round, which is rather surprising, as it would be ideal in the winter months, given the quality of the hard standing pitches.
Very Helpful friendly Staff & a great well kept site
Stayed one night as a stop over with the caravan great location & well kept site. Had a prolem with toilet cassette so went & enquired in the office for pointers as to where to get a replacement not only did they know where but even phoned the dealer & reserved the new cassette for me what extremely helpful site staff. Would liked to have stayed longer but had other commitments overall a lovely site with good dog walks/ Childrens play area & beautiful scenery
Excellent site
We stayed here for 5 nights in October and thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
Wardens were friendly and efficient, as were the staff in the useful site shop.
Toilets, showers etc were immaculately clean and although only one of the two blocks was open this late in the season, there was more than enough capacity. The 2pm cleaning time is a very good idea and should be adopted by all club sites (why ever not)?
The site is spacious and well maintained with a large play field and separate picnic area.
There is undoubtedly some traffic noise from the two adjacent roads but we didn’t find this particularly intrusive. Although you have to cross two dual carriageways to get to the canal towpath, you do this close to the roundabout and it is not as daunting as it sounds!
There’s a lot to do in the area, the Brecon Beacons are beautiful and we will undoubtedly return.
Lovely campsite
We only stayed one night as we were touring but really loved this site. The welcome at reception was friendly & we were given the choice of several pitches. The pitch was large & plenty of distance between other campervans and caravans. Hedges help with privacy & although it is a large site, it felt very cosy. The site is well maintained & appealing. A mobile pizza van was there when we arrived & we ordered our evening meal which was amazing - a lovely surprise. The site was peaceful & quiet and the facilities were clean - no queuing at any time. The shop was well stocked too. We would definitely recommend this site & hope to return in the future.
Will be back
We had the site booked prior to the pandemic starting and had to cancel. So I'm glad we rebooked when the chance surfaced again. We booked a serviced pitch for three weeks and apart from two or three days the weather was really good which is a treat for Wales! in September. I second all reviews that have been left by other members but I would like to add that when in Brecon and you fancy a snack try the church cafe. Tried 9 holes at Brecon G C £10 in the honesty box was money well spent, don't forget your scorecard or you could end up getting lost. A good day out at the National Park Visitor Centre parking was a pound for all-day take your own picnic ( food is on sale in the centre if you want) and seats for a lovely view of Pen Y Fan.
