Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Stunning view, great pitch sizes, friendly staff.
Disliked: Screaming and shouting kids, loud music from other tents after 11pm every night. Other campsites does not allow loud noise after 10 or 11pm. We wanted to chill after our hikes but it was impossible because of the noise and noone did anything. Not enough toilets and showers. There was more toilets on the back but they were closed. Only 2 for ladies and 1 for man this is absolutely not enough when the Adventure Farm customers are using it as well. The light in the shower facility switched off in every few minutes so we ended up to have a shower in the dark because the sensore doesn't see people behind the doors.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: I had requested a pitch on the lower level but when I arrived was booked on upper level. This was changed without any issue. The Black Mountain pitches( lower level) are bigger, more level and generally quieter. Views are fantastic , can see Pen Y Fan from site. Easy access to water points/ electric hook up . Toilets, showers, washing up facilities are a bit of a hike up a hill but clean( apart from other users not mopping up after themselves- annoying). The new individual shower/ toilets are a plus and showers are powerful and hot.Like that they are closed during day so day visitors can't use. Staff are very friendly, helpful and remembered me and my cockapoo from stay a year ago which was nice.Big field to take dog plus a short walk to the river. Good base for walking. Drove no more than 15- 30mins for my daily hikes.
Disliked: The path to the toilet/ showers is unlit at night . Understand this is due to environmental regulations.

Electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch
Liked: Nice little site. Great free entry to the farm on all days staying. Saturday evening bar/pizza and soft play for the kids. Lovely to hear the sounds of animals as we woke up. Great views and sound of the river nearby. Friendly staff.
Disliked: Toilet/shower block was a bit tired, up a steep hill from the camping area and didn't feel particularly private (door always propped open). Pitches on upper field appeared very close together, looked a bit cramped, but lower field was more spacious.

Liked: Absolutely fantastic campsite. So much for the children to do I wish we'd stayed longer. All of the staff and wardens were incredibly helpful and accommodating. 2 big play areas for the kids, both inside and outside was such a great addition. We also added on a horse ride which was fantastic.
