  • Family-run Mid Wales farm site and wildlife haven just off the A44
  • Llandrindod Wells 10 minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Knighton
  • Local pub with beer garden accessed from the back of the campsite
Stopping over for a night, or in need of a base for a longer break meandering around Mid Wales? Either way, there's a warm welcome at Dolswydd Caravan Park, in a handy spot just off the A44, 10 minutes’ drive from Llandrindod Wells. This family-run site is on the edge of a traditional working farm with a backdrop of open common land and the Welsh hills behind. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s something of a wildlife haven, with regular visitors including red kites, otters, woodpeckers and hares as well as the swans who stop by daily. Getting out and about in the local countryside is a cinch from here – walkers can hit major trails like the Offa’s Dyke Path and Glyndŵr's Way, or find quiet local lanes to wander along. Golf, horse riding, canoeing, archery and climbing are among the other activities available nearby, and there’s fishing next door to the site on the River Ithon. Modern facilities on site include bathrooms with toilets and showers, plus a launderette. A short (500-metre) walk away through the back of the campsite is the local pub, which serves good home-cooked food and has a lovely riverside beer garden.

Electric hardstanding pitch

Liked: Very basic site- good for short stay.

Disliked: We were told by neighbour after setting up that caravans must all be facing a certain way but were not told this prior to arriving. Quite difficult to move around due to the way people had parked. Only one shower, which did not seem much for a site of this size.

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
Our site may seem basic, but most of our visitors are very happy with their stays. Our facilities are listed on our pitchup profile as are photos of the facilities and we are sure you must have looked at these and the location before booking. We were always on hand via phone if you had of needed anything at all, we do wish you had of gotten in contact.
We do wish you would have asked us if you needed to turn around the caravan rather than a neighbour, this was not necessary where you were situated or for the duration of your stay. We could also have helped with this, had we known and if you had of wanted a hand. We have only seen a queue for the shower once in the last year and that was a family group taking turns. No other queues. Most visitors have their own facilities in their caravans. However, we do have plans to add more showers, but we are sure you can appreciate that this is extremely costly and certainly cannot happen during peak season.

Nice chilled fun relaxed environment…
