Brilliant for relaxing its so peaceful and quiet

This site is a little gem. We stayed for 4 nights (were booked for 5 but our house alarm went faulty and we had to leave one night early). This site is brilliant if you want peace and quiet and see plenty of wildlife then this is a must. The wardens are SO helpful, nothing too much trouble and always with a smile. We forgot to take our National Trust book away with us and asked the wardens of any local properties to visit. They went out of their way to find out the details for us and we had a great day out. The site is beautiful with plenty of flowers displayed and well looked after, also the site is pristine, and the facilites immaculate. Our pitch was really good too and we had views of the Welsh hills and watch the red kites. Pure bliss. Well done Aberbran.

Perfect ten days

The roads from Cornwall were all good, only a few yards of narrow road were encountered when reaching the site and this was not a problem. There were spaces to choose from and we opted to take a grass pitch on the slightly raised area which used to be the railway platform, behind which ran a scenic dog walk on the embankment. The pitch was really level and of a generous size, giving us lots of sunshine. If you re looking for a small, quiet country site, then this is it. We did experience Wifi dropping out occasionally so my phone used some data allowance. Our van is ten years old and has an omni- directional flying saucer aerial with no adjustment. Using this we were only able to tune in five TV channels with no BBC or ITV. This was overcome with the purchase of a powered indoor aerial which sat on a seat back in the window. We then got 25 channels. We were particularly impressed with the volunteer wardens who welcomed us to the site. They were Graham and Barbara Hall. Graham generously loaned us a TV aerial extension lead so we had more flexibility when positioning the indoor aerial. The Halls were replaced half way through the holiday by Nigel and Annette (no surname) and they too were extremely friendly and helpful. The Club is very lucky to have such good volunteer wardens to keep this site going. Every time we returned to site, they were busy working. Fortunately, the weather could not have been better and we were able to add an extra day to our stay. I would fully recommend this site to adults and dog owners, but feel it is a little small and lacking in facilities for children. I am sure that we will return to this site again as the surrounding Brecon Beacons are absolutely stunning!!

Still the best.

Have visited this site on a number of accessions, and never been disappointed. The welcome is always friendly and informative. All the wardens always have time to stop and chat, and have lots of information on local places of interest, and local dining. The site, as usual, was in superb condition, proof of how hard the wardens have been working. We hope to visit again later in the season, to enjoy the peace and quiet of this little jem. Sincere thanks to all concerned.

Very Quiet

This site is the quietest I think I have ever stayed on. Very helpful warden who offered us any pitch on the site as it was empty the second night we stayed. Bird life here is good easy to spot Red Kites Buzzards, Rooks nests etc. Well maintained. On the road down to the site you pass two other sites make sure you carry on till you get to the old railway line and find the MCC site. Brecon is about 5 miles it has a small homely Cathedral and lots of pubs in the town. We walked up a hill to an iron age fort with good views of the town and valley on the back road from the site to the town, worth the exercise . Will come back again sometime.

Springtime in Brecon

Just love this site and the wardens are amazing. Stayed at Easter with our Granddaughters who were greeted with Cadbury's cream eggs. Lambs and their Moms were in the field next door and there are plenty of greedy birds coming to our bird feeder. Lovely walks and amazing places to visit and the girls love the stream just down the lane to play Poo Sticks. Wardens allowed us to have an Easter egg hunt and I think I kept the visitors amused with my Easter Bunny ears. Will be going again soon as we all love this beautiful site. Highly recommended.

What's not to like

From arrival to departure we felt very valued and everyone on site was friendly, so that shows the effectiveness of the initial contact with the Wardens, as everyone would have had that so they have been left with a need to pass on this trait. The site was small and very well kept. There were plenty of things to do in the area, but we would recommend that everyone visit The Big Pit as it really takes you back in history during the whole visit especially the underground tour, which was guided by past pit workers. The site is initially a little difficult to find as there are several small roads off which lead to caravan sites beforehand, but if you follow the instructions and look out for the prominent "CAMC" sign you can't go wrong.

100% from us Westie's

The only thing we can comment on is most of the pitches are under tree's or tree's with branches that over hang. It rained for the two days and all we heard was the drips from the tree's. If it was dry the site would have been perfect for us. We loved the quiet. Staff very friendly when we arrived and left. Our three westies loved the dog walk which was a path along the outer fence. Would love to visit again for a week next time.

Pleasant and Quaint

Stayed here just for the night a few weeks ago. Very well looked after by the volunteer wardens with well cut grass and attractive flower baskets and the signs and milk churn, etc, from when it was a railway station gave it a pleasant feeling of nostalgia for those of us who remember the little village stations from years ago. There is a good information room and the dog walk is up an incline at the side of and overlooking the site and there are lovely views in between the trees of the surrounding landscape. I managed to get wi fi ok (with a "3" dongle) but couldn't get any TV but that was with an indoor ariel.
