 Have just returned from this site, had a brilliant stay. Unfortunately the weather was not at its best, rain, thunderstorm, misty wet, all in all a typical summer!
We were made very welcome on arrival, and given a choice of pitches. We did not need EHU so chose a spot in the overspill field. We could use as much space as we needed and could pitch our tent in whatever direction we liked. We even had to wait whilst our chosen area was specially mown for us! The views on this site are fantastic, and being secluded there was only the occasional intrusion of road noise from a not very busy road a couple of fields away.
The reception as mentioned in several reviews had a well stocked fridge, replacement gas cartridges and a honesty box. This laid back approach reflected the whole ethos of the place. The shower and toilet block whilst tired, was kept in excellent condition and regularly cleaned, no mean feat with the weather. Despite only having 3 showers, and 4 toilet cubicles (mens) we only had to queue once, although the site was not full. The separate area for washing clothes and dishes was adequate.
We used the site as as a base to tour Wales from, but next time we come we are going to explore the walks around the site, details of which are provided on site. Like everywhere there were the few inconsiderate s being overly noisy at night and not wiping down the basins after use, but luckily they were a minority.
If you are looking for a site with a shop selling everything, a club house, restaurant and children's playground this is not the place for you. If you want a quiet, laid back stay where you and the children make their own entertainment and being considerate with other campers this is the place. George and Katie were absolutely fantastic and I hope they don't change a thing (apart from their plan for new amenity block). We will return!

We visited the site for a second time (first was June 2008).
As per usual everything on site was excellent.
We were on a different pitch this time with our 9 metre flagpole and 3 flags which I believe was a bit of a talking point. We discovered people were using it as a compass bearing.
We will definitely be returning again.

Just got back on Monday night after staying an extra 2 nights (7 in total) and had a great time.
It was the kids first time camping (10yrs and 2 7yr old girls) and they had plenty to do, as has been said there's no 'playground' but for our kids the whole site was a playground, kite flying on the back field, the smaller ponds were great if you didn't want them going too far (we could see them from our tent) and the large lake is just fantastic, swim, paddle or boat and a walk around it as the sun is setting is nice and there are benches around it if you just want to take in the atmosphere.
Facilities have been covered by previous comments and they are landscaping a new pond above the site for fishing, should be impressive. (although not as large as main).
Walks are abundant and they provide information in the reception for options, we walked to top of forest with kids and pretty easy without complaint from them !
There are some good drives from site and on one (To Aberedw through Cregina, narrow roads, use caution!) we found a picnic area next to a shallow river and rope swing.
The Co-op in Builth Wells (approx 5 miles) is now open until 10 o'clock in the week (8pm on Sat and 4pm on Sun) and has a free cash machine in car park, we only went there and a small Boots.
We were told (by another camper) that if you walk to pub at Hundred House there's a stream that if it rains too much you have walk around.
On the last night (with kids snug in bed) we hired a fire pit (wood from small forest) opened a cold beer and watched a beautiful clear sky full of stars, shooting stars, satellites and one that looked like a moving star (then faded out) what a perfect last night.
A big thanks to George, Kate and Will for a fantastic welcome and stay and nothing was too much trouble no matter how busy they were.

Wow if you need a site in or around this area or you want a breath of fresh air - stay here! It a fantastic site. Try the marked route by the son a feel good leg stretcher and a pint on route, excellent - although quite hard. The site facilities second to none. What can I say a breath of fresh air.

Just back from the site. The staff are very friendly and helpful, toilet/shower block is a little dated but very clean with plenty of hot water (George said that there should be a new block next year). We did some of the walks from the site which were very good. The site/area is quiet, there is no play equipment for children but there are many grass areas for games.
The local area is beautiful and we (husband + 9yr old daughter) would return to this site again and it will be one of our treasured sites. Overall - The pitches are of a good size, facilities adequate to good, owners and other people were very friendly. There were a few dogs on site but were not a problem as the owners seemed very responsible.
Looking forward to our next visit!

This is a real gem of a campsite. Friendly owners, immaculate grounds, clean showers and toilets - everything you could want for a great break. It’s every bit as good as the website suggests. We’ll definitely be going back.
The site has good green credentials with plenty of trees, wildlife areas and a small brook running through its centre (with plenty of bridges). They also have a recycling point for tins, glass and newspaper. Scenic walks start right from the site and there’s even a boating lake.

A fantastic site to relax and unwind probably the best we have visited. Visiting Fforest fields is like going back in time everything is paid for via the honesty box and the shop stocks most basics such as bread, welsh butter, eggs etc. The toilets and showers are clean and never seemed too busy. There are a few lovely walks from the site including one that takes you to the local pub. There is abundant wildlife including red kites flying over. Altogether a brilliant site!

Just back from this site and nice friendly people ,toilet/showers ample did not use myself but husband said they were clean and hot.We were unfortunate to have bad weather so did not get to see much of the site and walk ways.Very quiet site and I would say there would not be enough to keep my grand children entertained especially if the weather was as bad when we were there,but we knew that that's why we didn't take them along with us.I must say the area is beautiful so green and lush. We visited the Elan valley and all the dams which I haven't done since 40 years ago and they are as lovely as I remembered then. We would return to this site nothing put us off it was just the bad weather. Walkers/bikers paradise. To sum up pitches good size, facilities adequate, people very friendly. A few dogs on site but not a problem owners very responsible.

Visiting FForest Fields for the first time were myself,partner and Flash our dog.
We were originally there for six nights but extended the stay for an extra two. ( I didn't tell my partner till the day we were supposed to leave).
The facilities were very clean and spotless.
The reception is very well organised with milk, orange juice, bread, bottled water, bacon and butter available in the shop fridge ( payable in the honesty box if nobody available).
There is a telephone hut next too the reception.
There is also a campers fridge and freezer available for use.
There is a lovely lake where you can walk your dog without worrying about the sheep. Our Flash was swimming for the first time. There is a canoe which you can borrow for use on the same lake.
We were the only trailer tent on site during our stay and couldn't ask for a better pitch.
The Hundred House Inn is very reasonable for meals.
In Builth Wells is a Co-op which closes at 9pm weeknights and a Spar which closes at 10pm.
There are many takeaways too.
The petrol station is open until 8pm.
In Llandrindod Wells there is an Aldi and a Somerfield.
Aldi do not have a time limit for parking and is opposite the railway station. On Fridays is a market where we bought some meat for a meal.
I would suggest you do not plan on catching a train due too there only being 4 trains per day.
There is a fantastic cafe called Fresh Fills which we recommend highly.
There is a caravan and accessory shop on the local industrial area called Wayfarers nearby.
Despite how busy the team were. They always have time for a chat.

What can I say that hasn't already been said?
Great friendly staff, top notch facilities, wonderful views and just SO quiet! The pitches are fantastic and large and very well looked after.
Great walks up the hills where the views get even better, lovely pine forests to tramp through too.
A truly brilliant area to be in - Elan valley is just amazing and a short drive away, as is Aberystwyth if you fancy some fresh fish and chips at the sea side.
This was our third visit to FF - there will be many, many more.
