 This campsite is fantastic! We stayed for four nights at the beginning of this month and didn't want to come home! George and his wife couldn't have been more helpful - finding us some spare tent pegs and advising us where to eat. The campers' fridge and freezer are a really good idea. The toiled block seemed a little dated but was kept very clean and the showers were free. It was very useful to be able to buy provisions such as bread, butter, juice and bacon from the reception which is a small hut in the centre of the site, and kept open all night. One end of the site is kept for adults only, although all the children around must have been subdued by the natural tranquility of the site! There is a small stream that children were fishing in, although it was rather dry when we were there! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this site to anyone.

Visited for the first time on the back of the reviews on this site - you were all so right! It is an excellent site. Our four children all had a great time as there is so much space. The owners tend to keep young families separate from others which works well for everyone. There is a campers fridge and a freezer f.o.c. There is also a fridge with bacon,milk,butter,orange juice. Eggs, gas, matches etc and all the money goes in the honesty box. The views are great, so quiet and peaceful, with great walks too.

Had a pitch for one night here. We didn't actually end up staying in the tent however as bad weather came in and as we had been chasing it around all week, I put my foot down and we rented somewhere. The site is in a lovely spot and pitches are a reasonable size (from their website, I thought it would have been bigger). They operate a very refreshing honesty box system for basic food items and you sign yourself in and pay whenever there is someone in the hut (I had to put our money in the honesty box as there was nobody about).
Facilities were ok. Toilets and showers looked a bit tired but seemed like they were looked after well enough. There was a cabin with washing machines and tumble dryers and dish washing facilities. Again, this was operated on the honesty system at (from memory) £2 a wash and 50p per 20 mins drying time. I would have found this useful had we stayed on longer!
Campers fridge and freezer in the reception hut, lots of recycling facilities and information about local flora & fauna. I believe you can hire a TV aerial (popular with caravanners), and there was a pay phone on site. A family bathroom or just a sitz bath for little ones would have been extremely useful.

This site really is as good as everyone says it is! Lots of space, very clean toilets and showers, beautiful surroundings, peace & quiet and very friendly owners. There are lots of fantastic walks with great views and no traffic (or people) to be seen for miles,and if you get too lonely the town of Builth Wells is only a ten minute drive away.
Do not go if you expect a noisy clubhouse, childrens' playpark or shop close to your pitch! There is absolutely nothing else onsite apart from the famous well stocked fridge with its 'Honesty Box' in reception. For us this was camping heaven and it is a pity that there are not more sites like this with owners who really do care that their visitors enjoy their stay and are not just interested in taking their money. Full marks!

Couldn't actually add a new comment to the other positive ones below. George, Katie and William take pride in caring for their guests on their spot of heaven in Mid-Wales. As said, the facilities where dated but suffuced more than enough as it was cleaned and checked upon twice every day. Showers were hot and comfortable and I had enough of space turning and all with my bigger body.
FForest Fields deserve a good review because of their principle of camping as the holidaymaker wants to. BBQ? Get underlaying stones at the reception and go ahead. TV? With their antenna's you can get a good reception of three, maybe four channels. It made it possible for me to watch the footy game when Holland played. Had a crystal clear picture!
There are some plans to erect a central mast with different antenna's so the visitors could just plug in if they wish so. It will be an asset but it will weigh in nothing in their strive for a competetive Farm Campsite. They just deserve the Bellamy recognition and I'm -for one- will plea for this on the Bellamy website.
Nature is in abundance and George & Katie take pride in their islands of wildlife on their site. If silent you can spot the rabbits, hares, voles, owls, fighter-plane-swallows and some beautifull other birds at very close range. Some even sat on our table when we had our tea. Spectacular! We stayed over the weekend but never heard any alcohol induced noises at all. Still, there is a good pub just a mile up the road, but maybe it's a sobering mile on the way back?
Whether tenting, caravanning, motorhoming or just visiting for the day, it is an experience better kept secret to the masses, but that would be unfair to George and Katie. I only hope their unshakeable trust in Human Good will not be sturred by miss-use of their trust and the honestybox. Builth Wells is nice for an afternoons stroll. Tea or lunch at the Drovers is recommended. Their Mocha Gateaux and Lemon Maranque brought tears to our eyes for sheer enjoyment. It is all homemade and you can taste that! If you're into books their is an nice bookstore in Highstreet that has a very nice collection of old books upstairs to roam in.
Coop for the groceries coles at hand and fly- or coarse fishing can be done in the river Wye, even from a wheelchair! Day tickets can be obtained from JD Gunn in Builth Wells. Parking very convenient and abundant.
Brecon equally as nice with bigger stores. Good for a days visit. The forgotten items like eggs, butter and mathces can be bought again in the reception / Shop at FForest Fileds.

After so many good reviews, we had to give it a go.
Booked by email the week before, arrived and self checked in, leaving the money in the box. Pitched where we wanted, the kids loved playing in the ponds.
Toilets & showers were good, the site was very quiet, especially at night. Good walks up the hill, ending at the pub in town.
camping how it should be. Going back in a few weeks.

The reviews of this site do not do it Justice it is beautiful. Great greetings from George and Katie on arrival and a pitch (67) near the amenities and the ponds. Toilets showers fine very hot water. The washing machine a godsend with all the muddy clothes from our 6 year old who loved the water. Fridges and freezers for personal use a brill idea and couldn't believe the honesty box idea for buying your eggs milk bread and the best bacon anywhere a packet in the fridge at home now! Walks all around the site great for picnics and evening strolls sitting on the bench at 8.00pm in brilliant sunshine looking at the scenery (not a road in site). The peaceful relaxed atmosphere make this a dream of a site we will be back as soon as hubby will allow. Made some great new friends as all the children played well all over the site with what nature provides, Thanks for a great week.

Really fantastic site with large pitches and a real atmosphere all of its own. It's very relaxed and the owners very friendly. The site is very large and the hills around stunning. There is always milk, eggs, bacon & (from the freezer) Bread available to buy from reception. If there was anything at all I would say was slightly wrong about this site it would be the shower block which is quite dated BUT we were told a whole new block was being built at the end of the year out of season which will really make this site perfect. It's close to it already.
It's a family orientated site (none of us have children) but it wasn't like some mad holiday camp. There are areas for adults only if you have a problem with children being around. Dogs are welcome and there were a lot on site as well as ours. You can't really walk to any pubs or shops so a car is essential for getting supplies. All in all a highly recommended site. Russell, John, Siobhan, Paul, Ed, Jeanette and Cole the dog in 2 tents.

This campsite is fantastic I can completely recommend it to anybody. We were greeted cheerfully by the family staff and quickly shown everything we needed, including the wonderfully stocked campsite fridge (lovely bacon).
The local area was very nice also and could have kept us entertained for much longer than our stay.

I agree with everything which has been said before about the lovely setting and the hard work put in by George and Katie to welcome every one. The provision of a fridge and freezer for visitors' use, plus the "honesty" box fridge are a real treat.
It was a BH weekend, but we didn't have to queue to use toilets or showers.
A word about cycle hire: the hire shop in Builth Wells has now closed, (as has the local village shop in Hundred House) but you can still hire bikes by phoning the number on the info sheet given to you when you arrive.
