 Shusssh its a secret! don't tell anyone :)
I didn't know paradise was in mid-Wales but it is.
An extremely beautfiful and idyllic campsite a few miles outside Builth Wells.
No traffic noise or light pollution a real getaway from it all holiday.
Lovely clean toilet blocks which were a little dated but I understand they were to be changed (they might be already)
Fantastic friendly owners make you feel very welcome.
I hope to return again soon.

We had this site recommended to us by other UKCampsiters and were thrilled that we had chosen it. This being our first trip to Wales, we had no idea of the place but came back just bursting to go again. The site was just perfect,with spectacular views all around and sheep everywhere you could see in the surrounding fields. Our spot was lovely and though we were requested to move our tent after the first week to spare the grass,we enjoyed ourselves big time.
The facilities were very clean and spacious and we were lucky enough to see a nest of swallows in the eves of the roof outside the dishwashing area!
We went on some glorious walks and managed to get to the top of the mountain overlooking our tent and the view was something else. The owners were very friendly and helpful and we really enjoyed our fortnight. I would urge anyone who wants to holiday in Wales to go here.

When we arrived it was raining very heavy and we didn't see the real beauty of the place. The next morning we awoke to sunshine and we got out to explore and what a beautiful site it is.The owners could not of been more helpful and also so trusting. The fridge was stocked daily with bread milk bacon etc. and the money was put in the honesty box.
We have stayed on many sites but never one where so much thought and detail has gone into it. There really was nothing they had not thought of.
The scenery too was beautiful and the site so very peaceful. The toilets were clean and tidy as was the laundry room. We will definitely be returning.

This site is camping nirvana. I have been reluctant to write a review for two reasons.
Firstly I don't want loads of people to go and spoil it, which is selfish, but true.
I also don't think I can do this site the justice it deserves. But I will try!
The site is peacefully and privately located away from the main tourist routes but also easy to get too, with good access for towed rigs. When on the site everything is very well organised and set up with sympathy for the beautiful surroundings and convenience for the campers.
The supplies available on the site are locally produced and very tasty, I highly recommend the bacon.
Surrounding the site are fantastic hills and forests with a number of marked trails. I only managed to do 1 of the routes as I was only there for a weekend, you could spend a good few days exploring. I will bring mountain bikes next time.
In a nut shell this site is fantastic. A true getting back to basics camping experience but still with great sanitary facilities.
I also noticed how friendly the other campers were. People at this site seem to revel in the fact that they have found a little bit of camping heaven.

Have just returned from a weekend at Fforest Fields on a gorgeous weekend of weather. My daughter and family met up with us there and parked their caravan in a separate field but fairly close.
It is a totally wonderful place to be, whether in tent, fc or caravan. The level of trust and friendliness offered to all guests is equalled by few and surpassed by none. And as for the site - wow! I cannot recommend it too highly.

Just returned from 6 nights at Fforest Fields. What a beautiful site. The surroundings so picturesque and peaceful, birds and babbling brook, what more do you want? Weather was extremely kind to us as well.
The site is very well laid out and the owner, George very pleasant and helpful. Facilities include normal toilet and shower block, laundry facilities including dishwashing facilities all under cover.
Probably the only comment I would make would be that the shower block is a bit dated, the water was fine, hot and plenty of it, but the cubicles are a bit small. I suppose they could eventually do with updating, but did the job. Recycling bins provided also.
We went because we needed somewhere to run our dogs, and the site has two areas called 'dog scampers' where you can let dogs off. Brilliant. However if you are fit and healthy, miles of open space, fields owned by the camp site where the dogs where safe to run free. There are also 2 beautiful lakes and I believe these will be stocked with fish next year.
In the reception there is campers fridge, freezer and also bacon, eggs, orange juice, water which are stocked in an unlocked fridge with prices and an honesty box for the money. Nice to know that trust is alive and well at Fforest Fields.
Tariff was very reasonable for our van, awning, electric and 2 dogs. We had a great time and will definitely be back.
The locality is good too, only 4 miles from Builth Wells and about 6 from Llandrindod Wells, so shopping not a problem. All in all a first class site, and would highly recommend it.

Fantastic site. We visited again this year and were not disappointed. Although we had to cut our stay short to 5 nights because of flooding (Katie very kindly contacted on the day we were due to arrive to advise to put off our visit for a couple of nights).
As well as all the previous positive comments, new signs had been put up to show the various walks off the site and all the posts to Aberedw had been cemented in (a good challenge I am glad I was able to complete again - and a fantastic lunch at the seven stars).
I am missing the site, peace, views and walks already and look forward to another visit next year. The best site I have ever been too, especially for the dogs. Seven stars for you Katie and George!

What a lovely site! The staff are really friendly, nothing is too much trouble. There's a well-stocked fridge to buy your breakfast from, a fridge and freezer for campers' use and also good laundry facilities. No playground, but there's plenty of room for children to run around and explore. It's a very dog-friendly site with dedicated 'scamper' areas where they can exercise off-lead. The toilets and showers are adequate, clean and well-maintained.
The local co-op in Builth Wells is a bit tucked away, but stocks everything you might need. There's lots to do in the area, the campsite has lots of information of local attractions, we particularly enjoyed our visits to the impressive Elan Valley reservoirs and the beautiful Devils Bridge Waterfalls.
We'd definitely go back and the only thing that could have improved our stay was the weather. We took a bit of a battering weather wise during our stay, just check the way the trees bend for guidance with which direction to pitch your tent! There were only two types of weather whilst we were there: light rain and heavy rain, I guess that's why Wales is so green.

We have just returned from a wet week at Fforest Fields with friends and their 2 wet dogs! What a friendly, considerate, well-run site. There was plenty of useful information to hand in reception and lots of thought had gone into the layout and 'little extras' provided to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The area is beautiful and not over burdened with tourists and cars and we hope to return there again, hopefully with better weather. We particularly enjoyed the Elan Valley with a good visitor centre and cafe and lovely scenic walks.

Well what can I say that as not all ready been said.This was our second visit and it will not be our last. The site is excellent, well set out with all the amenities as stated in other reviews.The addition of the lakes has made the site even better,our two teenagers were in the lake on their dinghy everyday rain or shine.The owners George and Katie with the help of Will and Natalie could not be more helpful and friendly.
The weather was not the best but we made the most of it,went on a few of the farm walks and had the most relaxing holiday.
This is what camping is all about and with the new toilet and shower block on the horizon things can only get better.
Would recommend to anyone
