Bryn Du Campsite - Breacon

Relatively new camp site, so all the facilities were as-new in a purpose built wooden building at the centre of the site. Super clean, low sinks for kids, plenty of washing up space. Tiny shop, hardstanding pitches. Only downside being that the entrance is on an A road, so getting from the camp site to anywhere else means walking or riding with shit doing 70. Awesome site though, even had a falcon turn up one morning (strapped to a dude of course, not just flapping his way in).

Hawthorne Cottage Campsite - Coleford

Small site run by Ranger Bev. Only a handful of pitches on a quiet site on the edge of the Forest of Dean. No shop, only a couple of toilets and a shower - but for the size of the place, that's plenty.

Corfe Castle Camping - Dorset

Great campsite a short stroll from Corfe Castle. Super friendly owners, pitches separated by hedges, small shop selling the necessities. Showers are a bit old and tired, but they do the job.

Willow Springs Campsite - Port Talbot

Interesting place. Pitches are pretty secluded, and the area is lovely: half way up the hill connected directly to the MTB trails near Afan. Run by a very chill dude with a big fur coat. Water is from a spring, but because of that, very hard to fill the van's tank with. Toilets and showers are just about acceptable. Could definitely do with some TLC, but it doesn't feel like that is this place's vibe. Loads of midges - but they advertise that on the website so can't complain.
