Quiet, kids-friendly campsite in south east wales or brecons?

been googling for ages and although some look nice they are usually too close to a road to be quiet. Doesn't need to be anything too fancy for the kids but as long as they are safe and have the space to play around the pplace.

Any suggestions?

I don't know Wales, but my SIL rates Trefalun Park for being child friendly. It's in Tenby so not sure if that's the area you're looking at?

WelliesAndPyjamas · 17/04/2011 17:41

Too far west, sorry, chicaguapa, but many thanks :) We want to try and keep travel to a minimum and Tenby would be an hour too far in the car with these energetic boys for my sanity

I hear good things about Forest Fields but have never been.

WelliesAndPyjamas · 17/04/2011 17:46

Yes, I like the look of it, vivalebeaver, but again it's the travel, it's most definitely mid wales and would be a loooong drive. I have their page still open on another tab so am still tempted though....

I thought it was only just north of the Brecon Beacons????? Have booked there for summer.

WelliesAndPyjamas · 17/04/2011 17:59

It is, but an extra 25 miles north of brecon town, which is just above the national park. Not being picky/fussy, honest! Grin but fforest fields would be a 2 hour drive for us, so was going to try and stick to the south east with the brecons being the limit in distance (plus the setting would hopefully more than make up for the drive!)

Forest Drive.

We stayed here last year and it was fab! The cafe/visitor centre has recently been done up and serves yummy cake and a great breakfast Grin.

Also, they have new 'pods' which I've heard look cool but I haven't been for a look yet.

This year, we are going to Llangorse Lake.

I also liked the look of Blossom Park.

WelliesAndPyjamas · 17/04/2011 18:03

Ooooh yes, I'd forgotten about forest drive! Thanks!

Checking out the others now too... [Smile]

Ha ha ha just been on the blossom park website and they have a photo of our car and tent on the main page from last summer!! It was a nice setting but the pitches were too narrow and the golf balls from the course next door kept hitting our tent Hmm so unfortunately won't be going back. Shame, as the owners were lovely and the view was so nice.

No way! Shame about Blossom Park - that was my preferred choice but my friend wanted Llangorse so that is where we're going - and I'm secretly very excited about hiring a pedalo!! Grin

Pyscodlyn is nice

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 17/04/2011 21:15

Pencelli Castle is lovely. Cleanest bathroom facilities I've ever come across.

WelliesAndPyjamas · 18/04/2011 08:09

mogs0 don't rule them out because some of the narrower pitches are far enough away from the hedgeline not to get golf balls coming over :) it just wouldn't suit us again.
