Wonderful tranquil and very close to Brecons

One of the greatest sites for walking and tranquility. SssI site, mown once a year. Park where you please and have 360 * degrees views of stunning scenery. All basic utilities on site. Very helpful owner. No problems with ground . We were there in the July deluge which seemed to hit everywhere so I can well believe it’s good all year. Walking spectacular, dark skies. Nothing not to like. We were there 4 nights July 2021 Thoroughly recommended. We have a Motorhome and had no problems with access. Like many narrow lanes , reversed back but no more than one is used to .

Second time and just as good

This is a truly stunning location, views of Pen y Fan and The Black Mountains, it is remote and quiet and peaceful. It is just a field with water, bins and toilet disposal, but what more do you need! Pitch where you want, consider whether you need levelling ramps, and then relax and plan where you are going to walk. There were more than 5 outfits, but it is a really large field and could easily accommodate the extra and too be honest if they hadn't we would not have been able to stay, bearing in mind that it was late July and everyone was out in their vans after lockdown. Good covid measures in place with anti viral spray at the bins and payment done via online transfer. Can't wait for our next visit.

One of the very best CLs

This to me this is the perfect CL - no electrics, pitch where you like, stunning views with outstanding walks right from the site straight up into the Brecon Beacons. There is also a good pub a few miles away - best done by bike. As a bonus the water pressure was ok and you get decent mobile phone comms. The site is an SSSI ancient hayfield - so don’t expect a lawn - to me it all adds to the beauty. I could see how the access roads could be a challenge for mega beasts but our 7m coach built motorhome had absolutely no issues at all.

Weekend stay

Booked this site very last minute. Owner was very accommodating when we rang. There is a one track lane to the site and we just made it through with our MH which is 2.4 m wide. The views are amazing from the field. If your looking for peace and tranquility this is for you. Plenty of walks from the site. Sitting out watching the stars at night was amazing. Hand sanitiser provided at the water and rubbish disposal areas.

Wonderful rural site in the Brecon Beacons

Just got back from a midweek one night stay and two days of wonderful walking. The site is easy to find. There are one track lanes to the field, but a fair few passing places. Stunning views and makes for spectacular walking on the quieter side of the Brecon Beacons (very busy on Pen-Y-Fan at the moment due to covid-19). Very friendly host when booking. Super simple site, absolute quiet and the night sky had no light pollution at all with a beautiful display of stars. Will definitely stay again. This is the closest and best site to the main Brecon Beacons massif. Brilliant.

Hidden Gem.

If you’re looking for peace and tranquility then you’ll be hard pushed to find a better spot. The drive to the site maybe difficult for big caravans but we found it easy with our camper. Farmer Thomas was really cheerful and helpful giving details of the site and offering any assistance we needed during our stay. We were the only van on site which made it really special. The views are stunning so if you’re happy to be away from amenities, electric hookups, pubs etc this is the place. It has direct walking access to the Brecon Beacons mountain routes which is a bonus. We will be returning as soon as possible.

Information rather than actual review

The location of the campsite looks amazingly peaceful in google and my ratings reflect that. Sadly we didn’t actually get to the site as the final lane to reach it was impossible to drive unless we didn’t mind scratching windows and bodywork - our motorhome is 2.3m wide and 2.7 high So just a warning if you have anything similar or larger. As I say, we were disappointed not to actually camp but it was a stressful experience at the end of a long drive so am passing on the info

Great start to our motorhome adventures

As newbie motorhomers this was our first trip and wow what a start! The location is stunning, views of Pen y Fan and the Black mountains, peaceful, quiet and so much room. The farm is a little way off but clear instructions at the gate as to what we should do if farmer was not around. It is on a slope but we had no problems, in fact it helped us find a little leak from our shower. Cycled to Talybont and the reservoir along quiet lanes and the Taff Trail. Met some lovely people at this site and I have no doubt we will come back. An amazing start to our motorhome fun and a fab introduction to CLs - bear in mind we have nothing to compare with.

Isolated beauty

Stayed here for two nights but could happily stay longer. 25 minutes walk to lovely pub in llanfrechan. Don't come here if you want anything other than peace and quiet. Farmer Mr Thomas is really nice and is there only if you need him. A real gem. Many thanks will definetly come again

Perfect remote Brecon Beacons CL

I really like this L. It suits us perfectly and we have been there 4 times now. For some it might not be so perfect. Its very tranquil. A real get away from it all location. Beautiful scenery. Farmer is helpful and cheerfull. Leaves you to it and keeps out of the way. A real nice guy. Field is pretty big. Even if there were 20 vans they would be further apart than most CL’s The field varies. Earlier in the year it is left to grow long – maybe up to a foot of really beautiful meadow. I love this and my dog loves it. Some may not. Fine if dry. Wellies if wet!! After July cut it is short. Water point is fine. Only one in field so can be a little walk of maybe 100m for those furthest away. Chem point doesn’t have any rinse option so need to get some water from the water point which is 15m away. Lots of walks, and horse riding in the area. Shops are 20 mins away. Not as much to do as say Cornwall, but still plenty with a bit of travelling. Access is a couple of miles down lanes that are quite narrow in places, but there are no tight turns that would be a problem for longer vehicles. There are passing points but might have to reverse the odd time. Some CC’ers might not like that. If you’re the sort that likes to pull straight off main road into manicured site this probably isn’t you. If you like it wilder then you’ll love it. We do.
