Reservoir View primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: Very relaxed and great to be able to have fires and each pitch came with their own fire pit. Lovely view and nice friendly staff
Disliked: The sheep kept escaping into the campsite and they left poo everywhere which wasn't ideal when walking around, especially in the dark. The toilets and showering facilities were great. There was a single shower and toilet for staff which they let us use and there was a group changing area which we could use at night which were better than the main facilities which were filthy. Needed a deep clean and someone on it all frequently. That would be the only thing that might put me off going again, which is a shame. There wasn't a small shop to buy provisions like milk and eggs or things you might have forgotten. The cafe just sold cakes and tea and coffee. They are missing a trick here.

I would recommend this site to solo- and family- campers; it's worthy.

Luna bell tent (no pets)
Liked: Absolutely fantastic stay , Very friendly staff . Great location in the brecon beacons so much to do Highly recommended to stay here if you want to explore the Brecon beacons
Disliked: Need to make it more clear on the email what Luna bell tent you are as it wasn't in our email. Toilets were dirty from campers in the field walking in with muddy shoes and the showers were cold Sheep making a noise coming onto the camp site at 5 in the morning.

Powered grass and gravel RV campsite
Liked: The staff were friendly
Disliked: Very low branches to get into 'campsite'. The key code we were given via email for the electric didn't work, and reception was closed, luckily we found a unlocked electric box to use. No water facility to fill motorhome, asked receptionist and eventually could reverse motorhome down lane to fill from tap but this was only accessible until 5pm. Free roaming sheep on site which wasnt advised as we wouldnt book here with a toddler running around knowing sheep are grazing, all grass pitches no gravel, no where to empty chemical toilet. Pizza takeaway was never open in our 3 day stay (advertised as open). No signal and no WiFi. The toilets were dirty, and only a thin shower curtain for privacy. Spoke to other motorhome users that arrived, they all left the next morning due to lack of facilities for motorhome/caravan.

In all, wonderful staff, wonderful location and wonderful amenities.

Stream Side primitive grass tent campsite
Liked: There were several things I loved about this site, firslty the price. A standard pitch was only £17 and for the location + the amenities I think this is a bargain. The camp is clean, well kept and in a beautiful location so I have no issue with that price. Secondly, the site had plenty of room and it was very quiet. I stayed for one night on a Thursday and the place was empty excpet for a scout group in another field and one other tent in the same field as me. Thirdly the staff were extremely friendly, they made me and my friend feel very welcome and lastly, they allow campfires! Me and my friend love having campfires but often have a hard time finding a campsite that allows them. Here, as long as its raised off the ground (fire pits are available to hire) youre welcome to have one, this was a big deal sealer for me! In all, wonderful staff, wonderful location and wonderful amenities. I will definitely be going back!
