Anyone know if you need to reserve a spot or can you just rock up on the day?
It'll be a Saturday evening in a couple of weeks time.

Cheers

I've been and not booked when it was off peak, no problems getting a spot. Been in the summer holidays a couple of years ago and thought it best to book. Good job I did as we got the last couple of pitches.
It's summer holidays, I'd book if you can.

I think you used to be able to reserve, haven't been there for a couple of years.

Take a big lock with you though, used to be a real problem with bike thefts.

The ponds is a smallish site and is plagued with midges - however, you can also stay at the slightly less midge-tastic, but slight less flat Cymmer side of the trails - although then you don't have the same cafe unless you fancy riding to it.

Last time we camped at Afan we ended up in Tescos buying a load of citronella tealights and made a rung around us and filled the car with them. I swear I was itching for weeks after. Take plenty of midge repellant, I forgot it that time.

Was there 2 weeks ago & the midges were unreal. Swear they were lying in wait outside the van door.

Has showers and toilet,road is a bit rough getting up to it but its a gem of a place,Neath is just down the road
I've stayed there 4 times and absolutely love it,no midges and 4G mobile.
