​Description:

Cae Bell is our secluded tent pitch with wonderful views over the valley and onto the Black Mountains in the beyond. Ideal for backpackers, family groups, and couples wanting a secluded romantic weekend break or longer stay.  The tent pitch is located 4 minute (mainly up hill) walk from facilities and parking, and it backs onto acres of open hill land, with miles of walks just waiting to be explored (we'll provide you with a map and some suggested routes). 

You will have a your own fenced area (to stop the sheep trying to share your tent - also great for children and dogs), and if you are after the seclusion but can't quite do without those comforts, you can add an electric hook-up as an extra. The tent pitch area measures 6 metres by 4 metres, and there's extra space on the level above for your own seating, BBQ etc - or you can use the picnic bench and fire bowl BBQ provided. You can also bring your dog (subject to our Dog Policy). 

​​What else you need to know:

• Check-in is anytime after 3pm. Arrivals between 12:30pm and 3pm need to book early arrival as an extra. No arrivals before 12:30pm or after 11pm. ​We would highly recommend arriving in daylight. 
• The walk to this pitch takes about 4 minutes (or longer carrying kit). It involves walking from the car park and about 30 metres down the farm lane (or through the main camping area), taking 60 shallow steps up a bank, and then another 55 metres up a grass fairly steep slope past Ardwyn camping pod before reaching the tent pitch at the top of the farm. 
• The main campsite, facilities and car park are situated on the other side of the farm lane at the bottom of the steps. You will not be able to park beside this pitch, so make sure you are willing and able to carry your belongings to the pitch. You can leave kitchen items in the communal kitchen area if preferred. 
• There are no toilet facilities next to this pitch.
• The path is only lit as far as the top of the steps so please bring a torch. 
• If using the electric hook-up (must be booked as an extra) please bring your own weather-proof extension leads for a 16 amp connection. 
• Being on the edge of a hillside, this pitch is on stony ground. This may make it difficult to get pegs in, but we do provide some pre-placed anchor pegs to attach you guide ropes to if required. 
• We do not allow open fires or BBQ's that will scorch the grass (keep them off the ground). Open flames should also be kept well away from your tent.
• This pitch is in an exposed location so if bad weather is expected please come prepared. 
• There are often sheep grazing in the field that you walk through to reach this pitch. Please wear sensible footwear. 
• Although the area around the tent pitch is fenced, we cannot guarantee that sheep will not have jumped in or got under or through the fence either before or during your stay (there's just no stopping some of them! But they are docile creatures and don't pose any threat to humans).
