Liked: Amazing little site, tucked away, surrounded by the stream. Mobile coverage may be spotty at best here.
Disliked: For just a pitch with drinking water and a portaloo, but washing up facilities or showers it can feel expensive.

Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: Lovely location hidden away in a country lane. Small green field with the sound of a babbling brook close to Llandegfedd lake. Friendly owners. Info sheet provided with details of local pubs, takeaways and other useful facilities and points of interest. Basic facilities only. Loos very clean
Disliked: Would be helpful to have a sink area for washing up, the one in our van is tiny. The portaloos although clean and fresh use nasty chemicals, would prefer an eco friendly solution. A shower would be a lovely addition.

Liked: Clean facilities, very easy to find and peaceful surroundings. Woke up to the most beautiful birdsong chorus and had a very relaxing stay. We arrived quite late and despite the grass pitches being waterlogged, we were still able to be accommodated last minute. A lovely stay!
Disliked: No shower facilities but this didn’t bother us as we were only staying for the evening.

Primitive grass RV campsite
Liked: Location and site were perfect for wild camping, having toilets on site a bonus. There was a small stream that ran down the west side of the site and the walks were stunning. Our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly, small town of New Inn 30 minutes walk away with a local pub and a gastro pub. The reservoir was just a short walk from the site with some spectacular scenery.
Disliked: Access to the site was 1 mile down a country lane for the motorhome, it could do with a few more wider passing points, having said that it is easier to navigate if you approach from the east section of the lane coming from New Inn.
