We are based in Radnorshire, on the Eastern side of rural mid Wales. Our nearest town is Builth Wells, the crossroads of Wales. Our entrance is on the A481, which is a good A-road for towing.
See on Google Maps.
The site is set in the middle of our 500-acre farm, with acres and acres of woodland to explore along well marked tracks, or between the fields and up onto the open moorland of Aberedw Hill which sits to the South.
This is a rural place, but there is plenty to do on the land and in the surrounding region. Find out more about the local area >>

Pitch Types
We have four types of pitches on site. The campsite is set across two fields, and there are a variety of pitch types on each so that you can choose where to pitch on arrival based on your needs.
Electric / Non Electric All-Purpose: Our all-purpose pitches are really popular, they are suitable for all types of set up. They are made of a fine gravel so they drain well. Tents using them may want to bring an additional groundsheet. All stays of 7 nights or over will go on one of our All-Purpose or Hardstanding Pitches to protect our grass for other guests.
Electric / Non Electric Hardstanding:
Our Hardstanding pitches are fantastic and are suitable for all types of set up. They are made of a hard gravel so they drain well. While they are harder, tents can still use them but may want to bring an additional groundsheet/carpet. All stays of 7 nights or over will go on one of our All-Purpose or Hardstanding Pitches to protect our grass for other guests. Some guests like to use rock pegs on our hardstanding pitches.
Electric Grass:
Our grass pitches are well-drained and spacious and are suitable for most set ups apart from twin-axel, motorhomes or large campervans. There are grass electric pitches across the two fields, some tucked away and some in the open field. We limit stays on our grass pitches to 6 nights, if you'd like to stay longer then we'll pop you onto a all-purpose or hardstanding pitch.
Non Electric Grass:
We have lots of fabulous non-electric grass pitches across the site, some away from the facilities with wide open views, others tucked beside the stream or near to the reception. You'll be spoilt for choice :)

We farm in a way that honours the geology, ecology and structural integrity of the biome and living landscape. understanding that what we give to the land will come back to us in abundance.

We ask that you consider if the following is suitable for your group before booking.
Respect Your Neighbours: Fforest Fields is a place for everyone to unwind. By keeping noise levels down and being mindful of those around you.
Quiet Hours After 11pm: To keep the evenings restful, we ask everyone to observe quiet hours after 11pm, giving all guests the chance to recharge.
No Music on Pitch: This is our most controversial rule, and we understand why people feel like it is a step too far, but in our long experience on site we find that people really don't realise how their music is affecting others and how far sound travels in the quiet of rural Radnorshire. Common sense should prevail, if you are listening very quietly or on headphones and nobody can hear it then that's fine, but if its travelling at all we will ask you turn it off.
Enjoy and Care for This Place: There’s so much to love about Fforest Fields, from the landscapes to the shared spaces.
Leave It As You Found It: We all share a part in keeping this land beautiful. Please leave your pitch and communal spaces as you found them.
We can't guarantee you'll be pitched together (due to the nature of arrivals/departures on site and the condition of the ground) but we are pretty experienced at making it work for everyone :)

It’s a quieter time to visit, ideal for those seeking solitude or quiet reflection. Though wet at times, the winter months offer breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere.

Summer brings a slightly festive feel, especially on weekends, as families and holidaymakers gather to enjoy the sunshine.

The weather is typically a mix of sunshine and showers, with lush green fields and stunning views. It’s an active time on site, but still with space for quiet moments.
Autumn brings a more peaceful atmosphere, with quieter weekdays and more relaxed weekends. The weather can be varied, with crisp days and colder evenings, but the landscape offers beautiful colours as the trees begin to turn. The nights are cool, and the tranquil environment makes this time of year especially magical.
The cycle returns to winter, where the landscape’s beauty persists. The crisp air, misty valleys, and quiet surroundings make Fforest Fields a peaceful retreat. Each season at Fforest Fields offers something unique, but the atmosphere remains calm and welcoming year-round.
