About Willow Acres Campsite

Situated amongst the Welsh countryside, overlooking the Brecon Beacons National Park - this small friendly site offers a peaceful and relaxing stay. While the site is just under two acres each pitch has been created to be spacious and private. Each has a covered kitchen area with all the needed utensils, crockery, and a gas hob, as well as a picnic table and a firepit. The site has named each one of it's pitches to create that truly individual experience. There are four pitches (Butch, Snowy and Lumpy, Bonnie and Dot, and Curly) that have their own eco shower and toilet. Whereas, pitches Jill and Custard have access to shared facilities. All are suitable for large tents but Jill is also able to accommodate a campervan. Blue Bella, offers a secluded stay away from the elements for up to two campervans. With privacy at the forefront you'll be able to admire the the natural wild meadows and the dark clear skies undisturbed. The site is located on a family owned working farm. With 300 sheep and a herd of Welsh black cattle you'll see a glimpse of the farming life. Dogs are allowed but due to being a working farm they must be on a lead at all times.

Willow Acres Campsite is open from 01/04 to 11/10 in 2024 and from 01/04 to 04/10 in 2025.

A note from the site themselves...

Our campsite opened in 2022, and we are the third generation of farmers and aim to go into the future supporting the farm in a different way. Our passions lie with the farm and the environment. We hope to share our vision of a sustainable and low-impact camping experience with all of our visitors.

Our pitches are all named after our animals who have left lasting impressions on us. As it was our Grandparents who first came to Lasgarn farm in the 1940s, we use this as a way of keeping their stories alive and of course acknowledging that without all their hard work, care and love we would not have the opportunity today.

Medium Tent - Non Electric Ensuite Camping PitchesSep 2024

The location of the campsite was beautiful, although the narrow uneven lane to get there was in need of some TLC but didn't cause any trouble. The site was perfect, so well equipped and well thought out. The flower meadow was past its prime but we could imagine how pretty it would have been in the Summer. There was a communal area for washing up and meeting other campers. Each pitch was large and had its own kitchen hut with gas and hob, table and benches provided together with a small fire pit which we were grateful for as the evenings were a little chilly. The toilet and shower allocated to us was also a bonus and spotlessly clean too. Simon and John were very helpful and suggested that we take a walk about 20 minutes up to the viewpoint which proved to be outstanding, 360 degrees of amazing beauty! We would love to return in the future and would recommend this to everyone, although we enjoyed having almost exclusive use of Willow Acres!

Great place

Large Tent - Non Electric Ensuite Camping PitchesAug 2024

This was my favourite campsite that I have been to. The pitch we had was completely private but extremely well equipped and had everything we needed to look after ourselves. The owners were extremely friendly and would come by just to check everything was ok and that we had everything we needed. The water was was hot and because it was private, there was no waiting, The same thing applied to the sink for washing up. The pitch itself had a great view and was so remote, we didn't need to worry about noise. I can't think of any negatives.

Great campsite
