lovely site but wifi quality is unacceptable

This is now our third stay on this lovely site, each time it is has been a pleasure to enjoy the immaculately clean and well maintained facilities and friendly and helpful staff, in a great location. So why have we given it such a poor overall rating? The wifi on previous visits has not been great but this morning, trying to connect to an important work meeting, it was catastrophically awful and in the end I had to abandon the call. Trying to get a connection is difficult and then very intermittent, with the connection dropping out every few minutes. The speed is glacial, downloading a newspaper for example takes forever. Then there is the problem of trying to connect via another device (eg when my wife needs to do something online) and the cumbersome process of logging out of one device and logging on via another, Often this just doesn't work, This is not a free service and to many of us reasonably fast wifi is as essential as electricity or running water. Imagine if the supply of either of these was as pitiful as the wifi signal here? There are technical solutions through 4G , satellite etc. I do think the Club needs to raise its game with wifi, especially as it is charging us for it. I paid an annual fee and doubt whether I will renew,

Another lovely stay in Brecon

This is our third stay this year in Brecon and as always received a warm and friendly welcome from the Wardens. This site is run extremely well, the two large toilet blocks are closed for cleaning at different times of the day, so there is always one open for the convenience of everybody. In our opinion, this is one of the best sites in the UK and hopefully will visit Brecon again before the end of the year.

Excellent staff

Would just like to say a big thank you to Caroline and Simon, wardens, who were exceptional when I took ill while staying at the site, unfortunately I had to go to hospital and cut our stay short but they were very supportive and professional when helping both myself and my husband, I can’t thank them enough, especially Caroline who stayed with us while waiting for the ambulance. You are a credit to the CAMC , thank you so much. I am on the mend but will take a few weeks to recover fully. We will definitely return to this great site Sue and Mike

Enjoyable stay with lovely staff and facilities

Arrived on the Saturday, warm welcome from the staff at reception, limited pitches as it was full. Pitched on a serviced pitch that backed onto the main road and was quite dark due to tree canopy. Wardens said we were more than welcome to move in the morning, which we did. Got a lovely serviced pitch away from the road noise, had more light and had views of the hills. You can walk into Brecon from the site along the canal, but we found this a bit of a challenge as we had to cross 2 dual carriage ways with the children to get to the canal. We visited Crickhowell, Abergavenny, Mumbles Cardiff Bay, Hay on Wye and San Fagan. So it was an ideal base. We also hired a motorboat from Dragonfly boat hire in Brecon, highly recommended, relaxing and the kids loved steering the boat! The facilities on site are excellent, the toilet blocks were spacious and very clean, the play area is one of the best we have seen. There is a really good shop on site, which is well stocked and the lady behind the counter was super friendly. Nice to have fresh bread etc on site, excellent. All the wardens were friendly, makes a refreshing change. We had pizza from the mobile van, we had a long wait, but they were very nice. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back in the near future

Excellent site - Highly recommend!

Excellent site. We stay here often and would highly recommend it. Its a lovely clean and neat kept site and the shower blocks are immaculate. Very spacious pitches. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, they are very helpful and friendly. Its in a great location only 2 minute drive into Brecon town. There is a lovely walk on the site going down to the river. The small separate dog walk on the site is very good too, as its all enclosed. We have visited many of the clubs sites and this is definitely one of our favourites.

Brecon Beacons first but not last visit!

What a delightful site, fantastic location and beautiful scenery. Easy to get to as just off a main A road. (This road can be busy during the day but quite at night. Quiet enough to hear the owls!) Staff are very friendly and a special shout out to the lovely lady in the shop. What a delight to meet you and an asset to the company. Two service blocks, lower one was used as our pitch 97 was closest; new, clean and tidy. Covid restrictions in place and everyone adhered to them. Pitches well maintained, site well looked after and well set out. The dog walk is under established trees and slopes. Warning signs about for the terrain so wear suitable footwear. A gentle reminder to some; pick up your dogs 💩!! There are plenty of dog bins about and gel! No excuse! Plenty of local and drive too attractions. A well worth stop over. We will be booking again in the future. Thank you 🙏🏼

Nice quiet site

Arrived within the time allocated. Straight forward booking in . Found pitch all ok. Looking at the site walking around looks great site. Dog walk was lovely. Only gripe I wish some people would pick up there dog or dogs mess two lots so closed to bin. Does not take much to pick up. Also on site dogs to be on leads or tied up . Walking pass a caravan with awning there dog came running out and had a go at ours walking by .Toilet block notice using band system what was OK. But why can't people take band off hook and replace in tub. Wife went over and waited 6 bands on hooks 1 lady came out and said there was no one left in there.So please can you return bands please. We are all in the same club.

We will be visiting again.

Just returned having spent 5 nights at this site. Obviously all reviews can be influenced by various circumstances that occured during the stay but I can only comment from my point of view. We enjoyed a very relaxing break on a site that was well kept, the toilets were spotless, the dog walk was the best we have seen on a CAMC site, the shop was well stocked and encounters with the wardens were friendly and helpful. Walks and bicycle rides were plentiful and local. We were impressed by the site and have already booked to return in future.
