There is one major problem with this site: it isn't open all year! Apart from that it is in my top 5 (Inverewe is number 1 - so don't be too put out). No cellphone coverage for me is a plus. Being just outside the Beacons National Park means that it isn't swarming with tourists like me. Some of the walks are stunning - particlarly the bird sanctuary just a couple of miles up the road; it would be great to be there in Winter. It is a spacious site with lots of room for everybody. Managers Kate and Eddie (now at Windermere) are the tops and I bet they are missing it.

A warm welcome, facilities very clean, and a very tidy site indeed. I chose this Club site as it was reasonably close to the world famous Red Kite feeding station at Rhayader. There are nice walks along the river, and if you are lucky you may see Dipper and Kingfisher. The bacon from the local shop is to "die for". All in all a very nice site to which I hope to return.

We have just had a wonderful time at this site both the manager and staff where most helpful and with the usual welcome, this is a very good site it is peaceful and set in beautiful surroundings, the site was well looked after and tidy, the amenities are clean, the only complaint is the excessive use of the lawnmower to travel round the site, it seemed to be in use every day.
With that said all in all this is a well kept site with very friendly and helpful staff.
The following comment is not just about this site but in general about all the sites I have visited
It would seem that the rule about dogs must be on leads at all times is being ignored by members, this is very inconvenient for non dog lovers and for the owners of dogs, often the dog will come up to you off the lead sometimes this is ok but can lead to the dogs fighting also the dog will often mark its territory.
Form one dog owner to all dog owners please keep your dog on the lead so that all can have a good time.

This was stop 1 out of our 7 site stop road trip and our 2nd visit here.
Not a lot to say apart from WOW we love this site.
They were expecting us in our tent as per 1st visit but had room for us and our Motor home.
So we have stayed here this year and both times we didn't want to leave.
Thank you again and can't wait to go back.

We decided to go to Rhandirmywn for 2 nights as our first trip out in the newly acquired motorhome. We loved it so much we went back again a week later. There is nothing bad to say about the site, it is great. We will definitely be going back again. Next time we will be taking our bikes and cycling around Llyn Brianne, a nearby reservoir. When the water gets low in the summer, you can see the houses and small holdings that were submerged when the Llyn Brianne dam was built and the area flooded. A beautiful area and well worth a visit. The locals are very friendly. Remember to support the local shops and pubs though.

By far the most secluded and peaceful place I've camped in the UK.
The campsite managers were unbelievably welcoming, helpful and friendly - particularly as we had forgotten to pack most of the essentials (tent pegs!!).
The cleanliness of the site was outstanding - I've never seen such a well kept site at this. I would definitely return - a fabulous gem.

A gem of a site, as said by many before. So peaceful. Children had great fun meeting new friends of many nationalities, loved playing in the shallows of the river next to the site. Always clean, and plenty of space, benches by the river for peace and to read. Do find the Rhaeder falls near to site (not sure on the spelling), very pretty. Bear in mind that the nearest 'town' is about 15 minute drive away, but there is a visiting shop to the site at regular intervals. Plenty of birds to be seen on site. The only downside we found about the site was the midges, but they did not bother every one on site.....

This was our first stay at the site. Found it easily and the warnings about sat nav meant we had no trouble. The warm welcome we received was a theme of our stay with each of the Wardens pleasant, polite, helpful and so hard working. Always seemed to be 'on the go'. Brilliant situation by the river, for walks and wild life, we were amused to see a friendly buzzard who posed for pics on a telegraph pole at the site entrance and red kites by the dozen. Yes you can have activity or just sit back and relax in peace and views of the valley. Brilliant site and Wardens.

Fabulous site, pitched by the river. Incredibly clean. So peaceful and secluded. Surrounding area beyond words! Local pub, up 'Heart Attack Hill' served delicious food and a very good pint at the end of the day! Will definitely return for repeat respite care.

We thought that this site was our special secret! We've been coming here on & off for nearly 30 years - with & without kids, and regardless of the weather. Over the years our greyhounds have all loved it here (and still do). Great that there is no mobile phone signal - keeps family, friends and business clients at arms length, allowing you to truly relax. Bring your walking shoes and several good books and really chill out. Or, just sit on the river bank and watch the water flow by....

Last minute, drove for 31/2 hours to get here but well worth it. Met some great people and the site staff were great,(even when the car wouldn't start). Site very clean & tidy. As mentioned the local Pub is great well worth the walk up the hill.
The Children (9&3) loved it. Good for walking and cycling. Already booked to go back with the motorhome.
I agree better signs to the site (RAC took an hour to find once in the area).
But great that there is no mobile signal as well really great to get away from it all!

Superb site staff very freindly situated next to the river 30 miles to the coast i.e. Newquay 40 miles to Elan Valley which must be visited. Nearest pub is very freidly great selection of beers & food the 10 min up hill hike from the campsite is wotrh it. Only critisims we have are the lack of signs to guide you to the site as sat nav is useless as described in the club book, and the chemical toilet needs addressing no hose pipe no towels to dry things off with and no bin as per other camp sites of this quality.

Beautiful site, situated in ideal walking country with fantastic scenery and numerous nature reserves and Forestry Commission sites within easy reach. Ideal for families or individuals interested in walking, cycling or just relaxing. Excellent, friendly and helpful staff. Facilities block and grounds kept immaculate. Superb dog exercise area and walk adjacent to the site alongside the river. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider returning.

A lovely warm friendly greeting from the site managers was great after a 250 mile drive. Nothing was too much trouble and after a run through of the facilities and set up of the camp site, we settled into the enjoy the idillic surroundings. This really is a gem of a site. Stunning views and scenery, miles of public footpaths, a local shop selling local produce and a wonderful pub just up the road selling local ales and great food. Everyone has mentioned how friendly the local people are and it's so true. Very dog friendly with a dog walking area on the edge of the site, which then leads onto a footpath that follows the river.Facilites were spotless and the whole site in wonderful order. We had a wonderful time, so much to explore, we are going back, in fact we have already booked a return visit. 5 star

The site is in a beautiful area with lots of nature walks around. The site itself was very well kept, and the washrooms were extremely clean. The owners were friendly and helpful, even lending us jump leads when our car wouldn't start!
We will definitely be returning to this site, and I'd like to thank the site owners for making our first camping trip a positive one.

What a little gem! Wardens were very friendly and helpful, in fact everyone we spoke to were relaxed and friendly. The site is well maintained and in a lovely setting with some super walks staight off the site.
Facilities were spotless and remained so throughout our time there. The lack of a mobile phone signal is a bonus for a peaceful stay.Our Greyhounds loved it. We will be back. Don't tell anyone else,lets keep it our secret.

Arrived on Whitsun bank holiday weekend, pobably one of the busiest periods. Despite this the site and facilities were always kept clean and the site rules of quietness between 11pm-7am was observed.
Cannot really find any fault with the site. We have active children who joined in with other children and adults in cricket and football matches.
