Campsite

If you want a truly special, small, secluded place to camp, this stunning riverside meadow will provide it. The level, grassy field meanders alongside the river offering plenty of space and privacy. The only buildings visible are the traditional stone built farmhouse and watermill. The nearby road is unclassified and quiet, so the only noises are the gentle swirling of the river, the inquisitive hens and sometimes the Tawny Owls at night. Locally produced charcoal and firewood is provided, plus metal trays (though demand can exceed supply when busy), enabling that long-lost, essential ingredient of traditional camping, a campfire, to be experienced.

The main focal point has to be the river (Honddu); this is described as one of the most important wildlife rivers in Europe, boasting Salmon, Otter, British Crayfish, Wild Trout and Bull-Head Fish. (Fishing is available.) In addition to attracting campers it is also home to Herons, Dippers and Kingfishers.

Recycling is essential; we take our environmental responsibilities seriously by providing separate bins for cans, bottles, cardboard etc., and earnestly request that everyone take the time to separate their rubbish accordingly.

Pristine, hot showers, washrooms and toilets are housed in a bow-roofed, cedar-boarded cabin, which is kept cosy, warm and dry with sheepswool insulation.

The unspoilt natural haven of peace and quiet in the Brecon Beacons is helped by the request for no noise after 10.30pm, which is also when the cabin lights go off - so no light pollution. We limit the numbers of campers that we take because we aim to provide a place to camp that feels both spacious and tranquil (an unusual thing, these days, we feel!). To help us fulfil this aim of not overcrowding the site, we ask that our campers do not invite their own visitors along during weekends and over busy periods - this helps to maintain the comfortable balance.

Below are three sample reviews of the campsite from our page on ukcampsite.co.uk:

"The best campsite I have ever been to. Quiet, secluded, beautiful surroundings. Excellent simple facilities, short walk into town, no idiots, friendly owners.
Best thing of all - you can buy locally produced charcoal and borrow a fire pit to have a nice BBQ, then add some wood (also can be bought) and have an open fire to sit round. Bliss."

"...The surroundings are idyllic. It sits by the river, surrounded by trees. The road which runs along the top is very quiet. A feature of the campsite is that they ask for no noise after 10:30. This makes it ideal for campers and caravanners (there is ample space for both types of unit) who prefer a quieter stay..."

"10/10 for this site. Limited washing/loo facilities but kept absolutely spotless. Lovely location, right by the river and quiet. Very friendly and helpful owners. A small site, but this just adds to its attraction. Showers are 50p for 4 mins, so remember to bring coins, but piping hot water which doesn't fluctuate and on a tap not timed push button used in so many sites. 5 min walk along the river and past the Cathedral into Brecon..."
