Location is excellent for stay in Brecon Beacons and site itself cannot be faulted (except site map does not show the exit from the site, nor are there any signs on the site itself and we drove round and round a very complicated one-way system before giving up and asking a camper how to get out - not the same as the entrance). Spotlessly clean shower block and washing-up facilities, modern and well-equipped. (We didn't liked the music in th eblock, but that's a personal preference.) Surprised by the unfriendly and very unhelpful attitude by staff when we arrived - woman not interested in answering our quetions (and did not point out the exit to us...) and when we queried sosmething later she just said she had already given us a bit of paper about it. It would hav ebeen so easy to smile, say we already had it but to tell us the answer anyway. We are used to having lovely welcomes at club sites and were very disappointed by the lack of enthusiasm and interest. I would not like to be here for a week or 2, we only stayed the weekend so it was an irritaion rather than somethiing that spoiled our stay.
Excellent site but unhelpful unfriendly welcome

Dogs
This is a tip top site which highlights the return on investment the club puts into its sites. A useful site shop sold a range of goods which means you could be self sufficient on here for a week. An easy walk to Brecon along the canal once you can find the way out of the site and then cross two dual carriageways ay the roundabout.
We didn't hear any traffic noise or bikers noise - we were to the rear of the site. We did hear the barking dogs. This site had too many dogs not on leads and too many excitable dogs barking at each other. As this site is large and popular with dog owners, it may not be suitable for people who are not dog lovers.
Fortunately, whilst we're not dog owners, we like dogs and tend not to bother if they bark.
Location on the by-pass made it easy to find and get away into the gorgeous countryside. Brecon Cathedral is worth a visit.
Great site
Just returned from 6 nights at Brecon Beacons. A really lovely site with smashing Wardens, who are always working...cleaning windows, painting fences as well as the daily duties. Bins are emptied numerous times a day, so are never full. Facilities are second to none. Wonderful. Brecon is good for shopping and the canal is lovely.
However, the traffic noise is unbearable, from early morning to late night. And as for the bikers at the weekend.... the noise is abysmal. Unfortunately we were on a service pitch a few yards from the road. But wherever you are on this site, the road noise can be heard. Such a shame as the site its self is one of the very best.
Noise Spoils It
Our first visit to the Brecon site and area, 4 x nights 16th - 20th June. This is an immaculately kept site with first class staff and facilities but for us let down by the appalling road noise (especially over the weekend) when pitched on the full service pitches adjacent to the main roads. There are no doubt pitches less affected by the noise but we had little choice on arrival. Somewhat peeved to pay £3.90 per night extra in the circumstances. Nice canal side stroll into Brecon but take care crossing the A40. Great base to travel out from for seeing the wider countryside. The on site shop is possibly the best that we have come accross and probably stocks more caravan acessories than a lot of dedicated accessory shops. In conclusion, we loved the countryside but there must be somewhere more peaceful to stay?
First Timers
This is the first Club site that we have stayed at, and all I can say is that if the others are like this - we've left it too long and have been missing out!
The site itself was clean and tidy, as were the shop and reception area. The toilets? Well! Spotless! Loved the music in them and would have happily sung in the shower had it not been for the fact that I can't sing. The showers were great - no problems there and so nice to leave it running and not press a button every few seconds.
We took our dog - the dog walk was excellent, but could do with a few more poo bins around. Nice bit of woodlands to roam around in, and hidden away was an adventure course which my daughter loved. Didn't get the chance to go to the children's play area as we had the dog with us, but it looked brilliant - plenty of area for football and some!
Walked into Brecon from the site (took a little longer than expected) along the towpath, stopped at The Bank Bar for a meal before heading back. Good food and dogs welcome. Also attempted to climb Pen y Fan but realised that heights (especially when windy) are not my thing. I would suggest going early in the day though as it gets very busy. Also visited the Mountain Centre and did a walk from there - got soaked own the way back, but went into the cafe for a coffee and cake. Nice but a bit steep (the prices).
All in all, we enjoyed our 4 nights away (only spoilt by people talking in their awning until gone 1:30am) and can't wait to go again. I've suggested to hubby he might like to go there with just the kids and the tent next time.......
Excellent Site
We have visited this site before and are really impressed with the facilities and location of the site. The site is well maintained and the shower/toilet blocks are the cleanest we have seen.....all thanks to Julia and Eddie....well done guys your hard work really does pay off and is evident everywhere you go!
The park and playing field is fabulous and the trim trail for the kids through the woodland walk is a really nice addition. The soft play centre right next to the site is good value and a good place to go if it rains.
Lovely dog walk on site with streams to jump in and lots of woodland to explore.
The nearby Llanfaes which is about 5 minutes drive from the site offers excellent Fish and Chips at The West End Fish bar on Orchard Street which is great value for money with really tasty plentiful portions.
Big thumbs up for this site!!
Pleasantly surprised.
Currently on site during May Bank Holiday enjoying the uncharacteristic excellent mobile phone network coverage. The site is large and is obviously very popular. As a family we can see why. The pitches are spacious, so doesn't feel overcrowded. The shower and toilet block are first rate and spotless. Decent play area and loads of space for kids who have also enjoyed the Tourer Explorer booklet and cache sheet. Dog facilities are great and include extensive walks and dog wash. The shop is well stocked , being more akin to a commercial rather than a Club Site. Pleasent enough to stay on site if you do not wish to go further afield. Watch out for impressive birds of prey circling above. Definitely one to come back to and further explore the area. Have visited Brecon and the Mountain Railway on this visit.
Loud Events music till 12 00 pm on friday saturday nite ?????.
Stay on site from 13 may till 21 May lovely site clean well kept quiet most of time apart from some weekends music 12 00pm Saturday night from outside site
Very good shop selling caravan accessories food ect
Wardens helpful and have knowledge of area.
Excellent site
4 night stop on serviced pitch - clean, almost level and fully operational. Staff excellent and charming. Showers were lovely. Shop and shop staff helpful and friendly. Playground excellent for under 5's, and plenty of space for football etc for the older children. Dog walk - well what can I say except repeat what Connie told us - 'it's the best you've ever taken me to , with running water, woodland and access to a lane walk, " Site well placed for a number of pubs with food. We like the Swan at Llanfrynach. About an hour away is Castell Carreg Cennen, in Carmarthenshire. Definitely worth making the effort to get there (and the cafe sells delicious home made bara brith.) We will return.
