(CF44 9JD) Aberdare - Sarn Helen

such a great little spot but I didn’t feel safe as a solo female in a van. A car full of men with broken English approached me. They were drinking alcohol. As I left my van to walk my dogs I could see 2 of the men around my van. No phone signal here so decided to leave. As I left the car park the guys in the car were parked out of view but followed me along the lane

Great stop over - there is a pool to swim in just 2 minutes down the stream. Lots of space. Walking around from the parking, very quiet at night. Some rubbish left by people so we picked it up.

Stayed for a night, two other vans there when we got there lovely and quiet.

Chilly February night park up. very quiet but expected for this time of year. lovely walks with the dog.

Standen hier über Nacht und ein Ranger grüßte uns nur nett und hast uns nicht weggeschickt. Haben erst einmal eine Tüte Müll aufgesammelt - bitte nehmt euren Müll selbst wieder mit, damit man hier noch weiter stehen kann! Einziger Minuspunkt: Wir hatten hier weder mit O2, EE oder Vodafone Netz oder Internetempfang.

Stayed here in June on a Thursday night. One other van, like minded people! Clean and comfy spot. Pitch black at night with a gorgeous sky. Little stream alongside with a pool at the end for a clean in the mornings. No bins or facilities, must take rubbish with you & be self sufficient. Can walk to the waterfalls but it’s about 5km from here (then the waterfall walk -15km).

stayed on a wet Monday night in March. Very quiet.

Amazing place to stay!! Great views and very calm night. River with drinkable water next you to parking lot.

We stayed here on a Wednesday in September and we were the only ones there it was gorgeous can not recommend enough! We also went for a swim a bit down the river and spoke to someone that walked the four waterfalls walk from there.

Absolutely gorgeous spot, if you follow the river down a bit there’s a natural pool perfect for swimming. However, it was immensely crowded (Saturday night early September) with travellers, also wild campers, and lots of people just left their trash which was depressing. Some kids also played music all night though not too loudly and they were quiet otherwise.

Great flat parking area, hidden down from the road. Lovely grassy area near the river. Stayed for a night with no issues.

Great place to park, flat and quiet, apart from the nearby river. no facilities.

endroit paisible au bord de la rivière. parking de départ de randos. sur la route principale, sur le panneau d'accès au parking symbole "tente barrée" mais pas d'indication ou "no overnight" une fois sur le parking lieu propre mais quelques restes de foyers au sol. parking pour rando. nuit calme. nous étions 2 vans

Nice little spot to stay in the off season months, Stayed here in mid March and it is peaceful in the evening and early morning

flooded with littering locals.

we stayed here lovely and quiet peaceful hearing the water through the tree, lovely little pond if you follow the water down for a dip in the summer, Signs now show no Camping but we stayed here anyway and was lovely and peace full no trouble. no phone signal either.

Unfortunately it is now a construction site with no access to the forest
