Our second visit

We went to LLanfadog Fields, last August and returned again in 2014. I love the friendliness of the locals, the other members and, of course, Michael, who works very hard to ensure that the site and facilities are spotless. Then, the Elan Valley is just beautiful. We shall return, soon, I hope.

Elan Oaks Caravan and Camping is a commercial venture in the heart of the Elan Valley that has divided a piece of land into three distinct areas; Llanfadog Fields - a large, level close mown area that is designated as the CC CL. This has electric hooks up but there are no hard standings (this might be implied by the first photo of the this CL's entry on the CC website); Elan Oaks Caravan Site - 20 spacious hard standing serviced pitches (as depicted by the first photo); Elan Oaks Camping - a large level field for tents. I mention this because the toilet block (situated in the CL field) is available for everyone to use). There are three cubicles, each with a shower, toilet and wash basin). These, together with the whole site are immaculately maintained. No problems with the booking procedure and access codes. If you enjoy the outdoors, then this is definitely a site to consider as there is something for everyone on the doorstep. There is a cycle trail adjacent to the site, plenty of walking either alongside the reservoirs or up on the moorland (mostly open access). The road up into the valley is relatively wide so if you were stopping with a motor home, access should be OK. A great getaway from it all site. Recommended.

Rhayader May 2014

Stayed here for a few nights in May and what an excellent CL. As has been said in previous reviews the location, site in general, facilities, location and staff were excellent. From the booking process right through to leaving the site everything went smoothly. No problems with gates, facilities or staff, indeed the opposite. A very minor setting up issue, due to inconsiderate parking by club members, was soon resolved by the manager, Christian, immediately arriving to assist. In reality this visit was overkill, but illustrates how willing management were to assist and ensure that our stay was enjoyable. A special mention must be made of Michael who ensured that the first class facilities were spotlessly maintained as well as giving invaluable advice both of the site and the local area.

Best ever

We have just spent several weeks of sheer bliss at I think is one of the best run CL sites we have visited - not only plenty to see locally but if you wanted to just relax in your van you were entertained by the wildlife, watching the antics of the squirrels ( we counted 6 at one stage ) a dipper in the river and also a fox at one stage to mention just a few. I agree with other reviews the toilets/showers would not be out of place in a 5 star hotel and were kept up to scratch by Michael who not only being very helpful would put you in the right direction to find local locations. I would recommend it to anyone

We stayed on the adjacent commercial area as the Cl was fully booked but, since the facilities are shared feel that it is appropriate to put in a review. This site is fabulous with an impressive new shower and toilet facility, views are great in every direction and access to local attractions such as red kite feeding and bike track on the doorstep. I agree with other reviewers re access, we were given codes over phone but not told of the name 'Élan Oaks' which it's signed as outside. In the absence of a CL sign outside we sailed past and of course had to find somewhere to turn round with our towed unit. The suffix to the code was changed without us being informed resulting in a slight access problem on our last day. So, apart from those minor access niggles the place is great and we would highly recommend it.

Terrific Site

Beautiful site right on the Elan Valley walk. Surrounded by lovely mountains and adjacent to the River Elan. The Elan Valley Hotel is two mins walk away - good food, good beer, dog-friendly. Very secure site with key-pad entry system to the gates and toilet block (which was clearly explained to us when we booked). Very friendly and welcoming owners. The showers and other washing facilities were the best we've seen on a CL and would put many club sites to shame; the toilet block itself was heated and well-lit and we had no problems operating the key-pads. Many amazing walks in the area - we stumbled across an old dam which Barnes-Wallace used to try out his bouncing bomb on; there wasn't much left, needless to say. We walked into Rhaeadr along the footpath in about an hour. We WILL be back (two nights in May already booked, in fact).

One of the best.

Situated on the edge of the Elan Valley Estate this superb site is ideally placed for those wishing to tour or walk in this beautiful area. The site has easy access with good views. We were touring and booked for 1 night but stayed for 3 and walked each day from the site. Unlike some, we had no problem with the access code which we were given over the phone when we booked, before payment. Michael collected money from us in the evening when he came to clean the excellent toilet/shower facilities which were immaculate and worthy of even the best of club sites. I obviously don't understand the star ranking system for these reviews but I give it 5 from 5 for all features.
