Anglers will be in their element, but even non-fishers appreciate the tranquil riverbank setting—perfect for wildlife-watching or simply unwinding to the sound of flowing water. Pitches are spacious and level, and the shower block earns consistent praise for being immaculately clean, while the honesty shop stocks campfire essentials.

I was booked for a few days but with children with autism anything can happen and sadly I had to leave I wasn’t charged for my stay (this has gone in the camping pot as we now have the bug) Great little onsite shop stocked with everything you could need lovely clean facilities and a friendly peaceful site ! The views are amazing . I met a lovely couple of ladies there that helped me to they stay often as it’s go good ! The river is beutifull and my eldest enjoyed a few hours fishing . Go prepared as there isn’t much locally but if you don’t have it don’t worry as they have it all , thanks again ! a week ago · via Google Selina Kizildagli ★★★★★ What a find! Was told about this site by tourist information centre in Builth. Quiet and rural location along the river. The shower was hot and great pressure. Best shower I've experienced on a site. The kitchen area has been well thought through offering an honesty box for supplies and they provide washing up liquid, drying towels. It was a lovely stay and would 100% go back. 3 months ago · via Google Alan Menard ★★★★★ We stayed while cycling north. We were hosted by the campground owner and he was very helpful.
