Odd distribution of Standard & Serviced Pitches
First visit to this site last week, 6 nights. We loved the area, fabulous hill walking, lovely quiet walk along the canal into Brecon (once you've managed to survive the A40/A470 roundabout), terrific pub 10 minutes out of the back of the site. There are a couple of downsides; the quieter side of the site, furthest from the A40, has all the white pegs and tent pitches but the smallest toilet block. The side of the site with all the serviced pitches (red pegs) has a bigger toilet block yet less people using it. There were frequent queues for WCs and Showers in the "quiet side" block, the one next to the shop. It also seemed to me that the ratio of standard to serviced pitches is wrong, too many of the latter and not enough of the former.
Overall we very much enjoyed our stay at Brecon but I must finish with a gripe, not about the site or the wardens or even the Club but about the parents and grandparents who do not supervise children. Within 24hrs of the schools breaking up on the Friday there was a stark decrease in the cleanliness of the WCs & Showers and an equivalent increase in the amount of dog poo not being picked up in the dog walking area. This applies to every site every school holiday despite appeals from the Club for children to be supervised.
