 We visited this site shortly after we bought our caravan this summer and stayed for a weekend. Unlike many sites which "pack em in" we were delighted by the spacious pitches and general layout of the site.
The owners were indeed very laid back and this again makes a nice change from a lot of sites who are quite regimental about doing this that or the other.
Having read one of the earlier reviews I can say we also had a curry from Builth Wells and have kept the menu and intend to return next year!
If you like space, nice open countryside and a laid back easy going caravan holiday, then this is an excellent site! Highly recommended.
The only thing I would say is that this site attracts lots of families with small children. This is ideal for me, but won't appeal to everyone.

We have been going to FForestt Fields for the last three years and can only endorse the comments made, George and Katie always make us feel welcome. We have now been joined by our daughters, one in tent, one in caravan and my sister in her caravan all with their families.
My grandchildren love the freedom, the dogs ,8 in all, love the space. We have made many friends there you can be assured that the comments given here are genuine. We now dont go to any other campsite and have to date this year have been there seven times.

My sister has been going here for years and I decided it was time I went to see what she was raving about and now I know.
We had a great time with three different units, one folding caravan( my sister's) a trailer tent (mine) and a dome tent (friends), with 6 adults and 6 kids we had a whale of a time, and if we hadn't had to return for work we would have stayed longer.
The loo's are spotless day and night, if not a little old, 'come on' new toilet block!
George and Katie are the happiest site owners and always have time for a chat, keep up the great work.
We will be returning soon and look forward to some more relaxing time.
My friend had never been camping and her family loved it, we will be back.

So glad I read the glowing reports about this site, it certainly lived up to reputation. As stated the bacon from the site fridge was delicious and the owners were delightfully laid back.
We had a wonderful curry in Builth Wells, their take away menu is in the telephone hut on site.
Definitely will be returning.

Camping Heaven. What more can I say. We booked for 2 weeks due to the good reviews but stayed for 3! Katie & George must be the most hard working & friendly site owners I have ever met. Shower and toilet block always clean (whatever time you go in night or day), washing machines and tumble dryers a god send when you get soaked in the rain and covered in mud. All the children got on and played either in the big field or in the stream and pond. By 9pm they were all tucked up in bed totally exausted. Fingers crossed for Katie and George that their planning app goes through this month so that they can start on the new shower block for next season. GREAT SITE, GREAT OWNERS AND GREAT CAMPERS! Can't wait to return.

What a first class site! although busy it was very quiet at night. Good walking country and many things to do from the site. Good food in the area particularly the Severn Stars which is about 5 miles away which was excellent bar food at reasonable prices. Unfortunately the nearest pub about a mile away the Hundred House was poor with wrong orders and cold food when it arrived! no apology or refund.

This was our 4th visit to this wonderful site Katie, George and family work very hard and are wonderful peeps. We always choose to stay on the overflow field because of the amazing views.
Fantastic walks up to the top of the hills if you go up above the tree line it gets even better on lazy days we sit on the bench half way up!
We will be back again next year for our fix!

This was our second visit to Fforest Fields, and I really cannot speak highly enough about this site.
This is EXACTLY what a campsite should be like. Set in beautiful countryside, miles from anywhere, the only noise to break the silence is that of the abundance of wildlife.
Everything about this site is good, the owners George and Katie are warm and friendly and always on hand to help. There is a small reception with fridges and freezers that are used to have local produce for campers to purchase (including bacon, eggs, milk orange juice etc.) and also for use by campers to keep their own chilled goods cool.
The site has a natural stream running though and shallow ponds ideal for the children to splash around in on hot summer days.
The shower blocks are kept very clean, and there are plenty of facilities, not once did I have to queue. The shower cubicles are a little on the small side, but I understand at the end of this season, a completely new shower/toilet block is being built. This just highlights the effort that George and Katie put into this site.
Locally, Builth Wells is about 5 miles away with reasonable shopping and a couple of pub/restaurants, and closer to hand is a small pub in the village of Hundred House, about 1 mile away from the site.
We found the site ideally located for day trips up through to Snowdonia and down into the stunning Brecon Beacons.
If you want a real retreat, get yourself off to Fforest Fields, I know that we will continue to return to this site for many years.

FANTASTIC SITE!
If you want peace and quiet, no rowdy hooligans or loud music playing then this is the place for you. Don't get me wrong, it is not a boring place for old fogeys but if you like the simple things in life then its perfect. Birds singing, sheep baaing ( I never realised they could make such different noises!) the smell of bacon, BBQ's and fresh mown grass. There is no park but that did not stop the dozens of kids on site from having a great time, flying kites, pond dipping, chatting and chilling or having games of rounders, football or cricket on the MASSIVE field. Who needs amusement arcades to waste your cash and addle your brain or discos to damage your eardrums and make you look like a nerd with your dancing!
Dont get confused when you first turn up, reception really is that little shed you see. If nobody is around there are full instructions left for you telling you to pitch up and pay whenever!
There is a freezer for you to freeze your own iceblocks, which it does very effectively in a few hours. There is also a very large fridge where you can store anything you want. There is also another freezer which is kept full or bread and rolls and a fridge for milk, butter, eggs, yogurt, bacon and orange juice. Just help yourself and put the money in the honesty tin. The same applies for the washing machines and tumble dryers, no fussing around for tokens.do your washing/drying and put your money in the pot (£2 for a wash load, 50p for 20 mins drying)
The toilets are a little dated but Katie and George clean them regularly throughout the day (even at 10.30 at night!) and there was never a shortage of toilet paper or soap, although the hand dryers were pretty naff and nobody seemed to bother using them. The showers again were a bit dated but again clean. They were a little on the cramped side, put had plenty of hooks for your towels and clothes.
Shopping.If you like village shopping having to go to a bakers then a butchers then a grocers etc and paying 'village' prices then Builth wells is the place for you. If like me you are used to cheap supermarket shopping, BOGOFS etc then the closest supermarket is somerfield at LLandridnod Wells about 7 miles away through some beautiful scenery over the hill.
Rhayader is a good place to visit for an afternoon with an award winning chip shop (Yum Yum) eat in or take away. And you have to go to the Elan Valley, it is spectacular. Staying closer to the site there are many walks that can be done around the farm and the scenery is fantastic.
Well done Katie, George and the gang!

Forrest fields is a lovely place. The scenery is fantastic, we enjoyed some great walks on the surrounding hills. The campsite is away from the roads so it is very peaceful and no problems sleeping at night.
The owners are very friendly and helpful, couldn't do more to help us. George is very protective about the grass - and rightly so, it's in great condition and well kept - pitches are left to rest if there are any yellowing patches of grass.
We were there on a busy weekend in August, must have been more than 60 pitches taken. The only problem was that the toilet/shower facilities are a little old, the showers are a little cramped and the gents urinals were not the cleanest at all times. I do believe a new toilet block is in the planning, so i'm sure things will be much improved.
I got addicted to the lovely orange juice for sale in the reception - and the famous bacon was great too.
We will be returning!
