 Returned to Fforest Fields for another stay and thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
The day of my arrival was pizza night, and I was able to have my pizza earlier than the pre-booked time slot, and it was very tasty.
The on-site café offered a good range of refreshments: hot and cold drinks, cakes and other snacks, and tasty and very reasonably priced smoothies (my favourite was Avo Go Go).
The site has a small shop stocked with essentials, the "Honesty Box" was still in operation for out of hours.
The facilities block was well-kept as per usual. Push-button water supply had gone in the showers, woo hoo! Plenty of hot water, however the water pressure could be better. Some of the push buttons for the toilets were difficult to push to flush (reported). Please note that both issues were very small niggles to an otherwise great facilities block!
Excellent site Wi-Fi coverage, and mobile phone signal was great for EE and Smarty.
The owners and staff were efficient, helpful and friendly.
Despite the great facilities and location, the site remained very reasonably priced, and I had stayed at sites with much less to offer for much more!
Children appeared to be able to find things to do to keep them entertained, even though there was no dedicated play area as such except for the man-made lake which was popular with kayaking and paddle-boarding.
It is one of my favourite sites, highly recommended and I shall return for certain.

Beautiful site set in wonderful countryside. Loads of walking on the owners land including a walk up to a view point above the site, paths are mown so good walking.
The lakes on the site were great and handy to give the dog a quick walk around morning and evening.
The facilities are excellent, lots of cubicles and plentiful hot water, good number of sinks for washing up as well. Laundry facilities available too.
On site shop has basic supplies as well as some frozen meals available.
We didn't try out the pizza but the cafe/takeway on Friday was well supported.
The peace and quiet at this site was incredible and we will definitely be going back

Visited between Christmas and New Year, an absolute bargain at £15 a night for 2 adults, a dog and EHU.
It was incredibly wet so not only the grass was wet (as to be expected) but the paths were covered in puddles so you need your boots to get to the toilet block.
The shower block was clean and warm but the push button showers were a let down as the button needed pushing every few seconds making hair washing a pain.
Other than that, this site is great; have visited many times over the years and at £15 in the winter, I'll visit again.

Another return visit to one of our favourite camping sites.
The weather was great, perhaps the last sunny w/e of this year, and despite lots of other campers there was always facilities to use. All of which are first class.
One minor gripe the 2 freezers for campers use, which are meant to be cleaned out on alternate Tues & Thurs, had not been touched fro a long time. They were over flowing, very iced up and needed attention.
We will return again.

First read about FF F on the net and came to check it out. The two lakes, one for swimming and boating are beautiful. The pitches large. EHU available.
Excellent bins and recycling catered for. All the services for tents eg washing up, drying room. Onsite shop for essential items. Staff friendly.
Returned again a few weeks later and again excellent. Showers now open after decorating. Clean and warm. Fire pits brilliant. Did lots of walking over the area with dog and enjoying it loads. Love this place.
Like they’re not greedy like some I have stopped going to. Loss of a mark as a little untidy underfoot in places. Nothing drastic as booked for next month.

One of my very favorite sites. It is a little tired around the edges, but because it so wonderful here it only adds to its charm.
It is fantastic for dogs, so many walks around the site, around the lakes up the hillsides without ever seeing a road. Theres even 30 minutes or so of a relatively flat woodland walk which paths criss cross each other.
We've made several short breaks here during 2022 and the choice of where to pitch is good. Theres the more standard hardstanding pitches nestled around the facilities block and then there's the massive field, which has a number of hard standing pitches and many more hook ups.
During dry weather you can camp anywhere in the field, off grid. And we've always been allowed to pitch whereever we choose. Now that is good. Facilities are clean and good. And there is a very good showerroom/toilet with a sink within.
Close enough to Builth Wells to get chips back still hot (4. 5 miles, less than 10 mins. )
We've seen paragliders land infront the motorhome as well as campers with horses, and yet always a peaceful stay.

We were greeted by a rather pert young man at reception who was surprised we wanted to stay 14 nights and surprised us by putting us on a hard gravel pitch - "It's to protect the grass. That's the rules. " First we'd heard of that, and we were too knackered to make a fuss. All our interactions in Reception were similarly slightly off-key. But hey ho, we really needed this holiday and were determined to enjoy it.
It' a good site and works relatively well even when it's rammed at what was absolutely peak season. The honesty shop and the little bar / cafe were great. We hired a firepit and cooked over that for quite a few meals. Highly recommend a paddleboarding lesson with Pete. Sadly my attempts to book pizza and kebabs had both failed miserably, so I can't comment on those.
There's a useful CoOp in Builth and a big Tesco in Landod (Llandrindod Wells) for stocking up. The roads are very windey. We very much enjoyed Hay on Wye and an excellent supper at Chapters, and of course ALL the bookshops. On our last day we made it all the way to Aberystwyth for the tasting menu lunch at Nathan Davies' new restaurant, SY23. Absolutely superb and well worth the 50 miles each way for it, but next time we'll look to stay within striking distance of that.
Other excursions included the Elan Valley Dams - there was an open day so we were lucky enough to get inside one (Pen y Garreg) - and Croft castle, which I'd have been happy to move straight in to. We spent a lot of time on the site - much more than usual because a) we were knackered, and b) even though it was noisy and full of flies, it is a very good site.
Worth mentioning that the noise policy - quiet after 10:30 and "whispers only after 11pm" - was very well observed and we slept like logs. We got home yesterday feeling really refreshed.

Absolutely loved this site, and would recommend it to anybody.
The staff were friendly, and helpful.
The kebab and pizza nights were fantastic
The facilities were brilliant, apart from running out of hand wash!
It has a small coffee shop/bar which is just so nice in the morning sitting with coffee and cake (Victoria sponge was gorgeous) or a croissant!
The lake was lovely, it reminded me of being in America! We had gorgeous weather which helped!
My partner even did a paddle boarding lesson with Pete, who was just brilliant. She never thought she would be able to stand up but she did! Well worth £22 for that!
Nothing bad to say about this place, in fact we are going back next year with family!
