This is why the CAMC is worth it.

This site shows how the club does things right and is well worth the membership. The site is ideally located just outside Brecon, being only a short drive away or better still a walk or cycle ride along the tow path. There are plenty of pitches here to suit all needs. The site is tidy and you get a welcome when you arrive. There are two loo blocks both kept clean and tidy. With all this you get stunning views of the hills or is that mountains. There is some road noise but it does not impact on your relaxation. The wedding venue next door could cause more noise than the road. There is a super dog walk that comes with its own stream a must for any dog this hot weather. Also there is a small shop on site for those forgotten essentials but the prices are not Aldi. This site shows that on occasions the Club gets it right.

Friendly

This is a great site wardens are brilliant, had problems with my water pump. The wardens helped us out more than they realised. Great dog walks very dog friendly site, the only down side was the traffic noise from speeding motorbikes. Other than that I have no complaints

Perfect site

The staff on arrival were welcoming and helpful and the site is well layed out. The facilities are spotless with 2 blocks on site. The canal is a short walk away with a pleasant stroll into Brecon with shops restaurants churches,Military history, canal trips and theatre or a lock in the opposite direction, not to mention mountain and reservoir walks for the fitter . There are numerous places to visit a short distance away including Builth Wells and Abergavenny. Brecon has regular events on and an annual jazz festival so it’s worth checking if there’s anything on during your visit. I highly recommend a visit.

Probably the best site so far!

What a lovely clean site, maintained to a high specification, friendly staff, wonderful facilities, lots of canal walks and cycle routes near by - perfect location for exploring if that's what you like to do. Bus stop actually onsite which will take you to most places. Road noise is the only negative but we soon got used to it - you can't have everything in life! An array of typical garden birds in the many hedgerows on site plus an occasional bird of prey hovering above. Will definitely return.

As good as it gets

Regular users. Site has a good mixture of hard standing and grass pitches, plus luxury ones. Plenty of hedges/screening to break up regimalisation. Shop on site and 2 toilet blocks, closed at different times. Easy bus access to Brecon with interchange to many locations. Easy canal walk to town also. Excellent dog walk. Pitches at bottom end of site can have road noise as two busy roads meet at a roundabout. Newish M/H disposal point which is good. Excellent country location, pity its not open all year.

Lovely site

I cannot agree with a previous reviewer - this site is amazing the wardens and their assistants are extremely dog friendly - in fact our dog played with their dogs!! The walks on this site are wonderful and the on site dog walk is the best we have ever seen. We will definitely be returning to this site.

Early May Bank Holiday

We booked this site in order to visit the Antiques Fair at the Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells. We were only able to book an unserviced pitch online, but the reception staff were able to "upgrade" us to a fully serviced pitch on arrival. We've visited this site many times in the past, both as a Club site and also when it was a private site before the Club took it over. The facilities are clean and well maintained plus we had the unexpected bonus of brilliant and almost too warm weather!!! Supermarkets in Brecon are only a handy 10 minute drive away, so easy shopping to fill the fridge up. The Three Horseshoes pub in Groesffordd is only a 15 minute walk away and it serves good food and drinks at reasonable prices, (5 minute drive if you don't fancy the walk through the kids play area which is a bit steep, although I'm 68 and managed it with no problems.) The only downside is the traffic noise as the site has the A40/A470 on two sides. Motorbikes seem to use these roads as a racetrack most weekends. I'm a heavy sleeper so it didn't overly bother me, however we did meet one couple who had to move to the back of the site as the wife was unable to sleep due to the traffic noise. Good site and we will be back in the future.

May Bank Holiday - 3rd May to 8th May

WON'T BE COMING BACK HERE AGAIN! We have visited this site many times over the years but will not becoming back following the victimisation we have had to endure from the wardens, on three separate occasions, the second and third clearly arising as a resilt of the first. For which we feel so strongly that we are writing a formal complaint to the site head quarters. As we were pitched next to them we were clearly "easy pickings". On Saturday, one of our three dogs accidentally escaped from our awning through the apron attached to the caravan, he then went to another dog to fight, the lady who had her dogs was exceptionally good and understanding. However, one of the wardens was far less understanding, coming over to us in an aggressive manner THREATING us that if our dog was not tethered he would remove us from the site. He didn't ascertain any facts but just jumped to conclusions. If the dogs had have been outside we always tether them. Amazing how when we walked around the site there were so many dogs outside that weren't tethered, even though the site rules clearly state they should. On the second occasion, on the Sunday morning, we were told that the dogs could not urinate on the hedge at the rear of the caravan, only in the dog walking areas, as per the sites rules!! Think these need to be more clearly written then or the wardens taught how to interpret them properly. The final straw came on the Monday afternoon when a third warden knocked on the window of our caravan "to make sure we were in" as someone had reported the dogs barking??!! The site is not maintained to the very high standards of the previous wardens. We noted how on all previous occasions, especially at Bank Holiday weekends, the grass had been cut, the roads were clear of stones where the hard pitches are, and the site looked immaculate. We accept rules, but if the wardens want to enforce them then they need to be "police patrolling" the site and applying to them to everyone. We noted they didn't seem to enforce the 5mph speed limit!! What we hoped would bean enjoyable weekend was totally spoilt. AS I OPENED WE WONT BE BACK HERE AGAIN.

May bank holiday weekend

Lovely site and excellent facilities and great location. Irresponsible parents letting their child on a sit down Segway around the site every evening going faster than 5mph and the wardens did nothing, yet told my kids off for skating in the car park!
