Practical Caravan Top 100 Parks Award 2008

Resting just inside the Brecon Beacons National Park, this site has views of the mountains and plenty of activities. Walks leave from the site, nearby Llandovery is good to explore, and pony trekking and fishing are available in the local area. Grass and hardstanding pitches with electric hook-up and water points are placed around the central washroom, washing-up and laundry facilities. A play area and
recreation field are also on site. From the site’s riverbank you can spot kingfishers and, if you are lucky, wild mink.

Practical Caravan Top 100 Parks 2007

Erwlon is a pretty, family-run site located alongside
a picturesque babbling brook at the foothills of the Brecon Beacons. Ten static caravans are positioned alongside the stream and once past these you will be pleasantly surprised at how the site opens up into a large spacious field for tourers, with a centrally located amenities building. Past the touring field is an area for tents.
The park is located within two-thirds of a mile of the ancient borough of Llandovery, which is rich in history and mysticism. Perhaps the most famous tale about these parts is the legend
of the Lady of the Lake.
The site owners have added some nice touches such as free boosted television aerial signal,
an extensive play area for children, and dogs are welcomed.
The superb amenities building is second to none. Along with the usual male and female showers, there are a further four family washrooms, all containing excellent baby-changing facilities, and all are suitable for disabled users. The launderette and the dishwashing area are also located in this part of the site and, as you might expect, all are finished to
a very high standard.
The site is being continuously developed by the owners, who have sensitively landscaped the area with shrubs and flowers. They plan further work to the main entrance and security
systems over the coming year.
As the site is located just inside the Brecon Beacons national
park there are fabulous views of the mountains, and there are plenty of activities near at hand to make this site a great spot for a week away.

Practical Motorhome independent site reviews Feb 2007

The entrance to the site is well signposted from the main A40 Carmarthen-to-Brecon road. There is good access with plenty of room to park, and a new reception is being built.
Erwlon is owned and run by the Rees family. Mr Rees senior started up the campsite in 1956. It has evolved over the years from a basic farm site into the very pleasant and picturesque place that it is today.
The jewel in the crown here must be the superb amenities building which is one of the best I have ever experienced. There are the usual men’s and ladies’ rooms containing showers,
washbasins and toilets.
In addition there are four
family/unisex rooms at the front of the building. These contain baby changing facilities and are also suitable for disabled use.
The remainder of the site has been improved by landscaping and the owners have plans for further work.
The site is just inside the Brecon Beacons National Park, so the views of the mountains are quite stunning. There are many activities nearby which include pony trekking, fishing and many good walking routes. Llandovery, only a ten-minute walk away, has many public houses where good meals can be enjoyed.
