  • Relaxed and rural dog-friendly site with plenty of space and seclusion
  • A 10-minute walk to Llangammarch Wells and its train station
  • Heart of Wales Line Trail and the Via Beata route within 10 minutes
Fancy opting for something a little more offbeat than usual for your next trip to Mid Wales? Enter the eclectic Irfon Valley Pods and Camping, part of a smallholding scattered with curios collected by the owner. Free-roaming chickens, geese and ducks are also to be seen in the adjacent field at this park a 10-minute walk from the centre of Llangammarch Wells. In fact, it’s all about the relaxed rural pursuits here with guests taking on activities including walking in the wildlife-rich surrounds, dining alfresco on the site’s picnic tables and cosying up around the large campfire with eyes turned skyward in search of the red kites that often fly overhead. As for travelling to this Powys park, those without a car will be chuffed to know they can ask the driver of the bus from Builth Wells (15 minutes’ drive) to drop them right at the front door. The entrance of the site is easy to spot – just look out for the couple of cutout giraffes peering over the fence. A railway station is half a mile away too and the village has access points to two long-distance footpaths: the 140-mile Heart of Wales Line Trail and the Via Beata route from Lowestoft in Suffolk to St Davids in Pembrokeshire. There's a smart loo block on site with three toilets, a shower and three washing-up sinks. There's also a communal room with games and a shared fridge, microwave and kettle. There's also an outdoor cold shower.

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked Owners were lovely and accomodating. We left two nights early (no fault of the campsite) and they without asking refunded part of our original payment which I wasn't expecting.
Toilet, shower and washing up facilities were really good for a campsite of that size which is always a positive.
There was also a small "honesty shop" they had on site where you could pick up a few snacks and tea coffee etc. My kids loved this.
Animals and tyre swing were also a hit.
I appreciated the giant wheelbarrows that were available to transport things across the site.
Firepits were available which was handy as well fire wood to purchase.

Disliked Very little. There was an issue with the electrics in the communal kitchen area so the kettle/microwave didn't work (there was a kettle in the honesty shop though so we managed ok)
Field was slightly smaller than expected but they limit pitches so overall that wasn't an issue, but we didn't play frisbee etc the first night when it was busier due to there being less space than thought.
The location is lovely but there is very little in the area, but that is what some people are after, just take it into account when booking.
It's also close to an army practice range which I hadn't realised. First night was quiet. Second night did have some noise from quite early in the morning.

Electric hardstanding campervan pitch

Liked Location is wonderful with beautiful surroundings. Toilets and showers were very very clean, and the camping area had plenty of space. The team were very friendly and we were even greeted by cockerels wandering around the site when we woke up in the morning.
Would definitely recommend this site if you’re looking for a beautiful, relaxing stay.

From the manager: Thanks for your review!

Daffodil camping pod

Liked Lovely quiet location. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable.

Disliked A little shop/fridge with basic provisions (including a beer) would make this place perfect.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review.
I agree about the beer, but unfortunately that opens up huge licencing problems!
However, we are looking for a small fridge to go in the honesty shop to keep the cokes etc cool, and there is the big fridge in the room with the microwave and kettle.

Daffodil camping pod

Liked My time in wales was super cute. This location was amazing for a chill, peaceful and doggy friendly place! The pods were so cute and the bbqs at night made the camping experience unique. Smores Always! The place had lots of activities for children too, which is amazing if travelling with younger kids! The owners were lovely and there was a lot of animals to see!

Disliked •No WiFi
•No Service
•Location is far from stores

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, and thanks for your review.
Having the nearest shop 5 miles away does have its drawbacks! We usually find phone signal is good on site, but it does drop out alot around the nearby hills!
We're pleased you enjoyed your smores, and that you enjoyed your stay.The alpacas, geese and chickens look forward to seeing you again (we do too!).

I have been there few times already, ever time enjoyed more and more

Liked Stayed here for 3 nights camping for Royal Welsh show. Lovely site. Clean toilets and shower block. Communal room with fridge and sockets ( included in price ) Fire pit ( logs available to purchase on site ) plus larger communal fire pit. Geese and alpacas on site which gives the place a lovely feel. There is even a little shop. Friendly and helpful owners.

Sunflower camping pod

Liked Everything was amazing! Everything we needed on site including microwave, toaster, kettle & fridge/freezer. Lots of hidden gems on the site including forest walk where you can see alpacas! Lots of little touches too including 'Jerry's Mesume' with an honesty toy shop inside. We stayed on Royal Welsh week and it was everything we needed and more. Lovely staff, very accommodating. Would 1000% reccomend.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review!
We're pleased you were able to enjoy a stay and visit the Royal Welsh Show. A busy time for the area - unlike the rest of the year!

Local attractions

Stunning views are to be had at every turn on short drives to spots like Llanwrtyd Wells (10 minutes), home of the laughter-inducing World Bog Snorkelling Championships and Man versus Horse Marathon. Builth Wells (15 minutes) is also known for hosting a famed event: Europe's largest agricultural show, the Royal Welsh Show. Not about in the summer while it’s on? Embark on an escapade to the Elan Valley (35 minutes) instead for dawdles among the dams and lakes that supply water to the Midlands. The Brecon Beacons National Park is around the same distance away for wanders in some of Wales’ prettiest landscapes; closer by (10 minutes) are forays to the forest of Crychan, which also hosts car rallies and horse riding events.
