Spectacularly scenic riverside park in the Tanat Valley
Hikes directly from the site and Lake Bala 13 miles away
Two dog-friendly pubs within walking distance

Cor. Have a look at this site’s setting: parked alongside the Tanat river and surrounded by peaks in the spectacularly scenic Tanat Valley in mid Wales’ Berwyn Mountains, it’s right near the pretty village of Llangynog, where the Tanat and Eirth rivers meet. And there’s more: right on the edge of Snowdonia National Park, Henstent Park’s surrounds are not only scenic but they're also handily set for jaunts to the market towns of Welshpool and Oswestry, plus the Vyrnwy and Bala lakes. The smashing views are 360 here – at every turn you’ll see grass, trees and mountains – and as the site’s bordered by a river, there’s the option to have a go at fishing nearby. This is a smashing site for walkers too: several hiking trails lead directly from the site and it’s a three-hour trek (or a 20-minute drive) up to Wales’ highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr. A gated dog walk runs alongside the riverbank (and one dog-friendly pub is within easy walking distance). The bathroom block – with free hot showers – has been hailed by previous guests as immaculate and spotless.

Electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked: I liked the location, the campsite was lovely! Scenery, distance to the pub, the facilities, the owners/staff were also great. Clean showers, clean bathrooms in general.

Disliked: The shower was a bit temperamental with temperature went cold then hot and wasn’t hugely consistent.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for taking time out to leave a review. We didn't know there was an issue with the shower I have had someone check this so it should be all good now as we do have water tanks to ensure we don't run out of hot water.

Great, friendly and well kept site, would definitely return.

Electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked: Amazing scenery. Beautiful location. Very clean facilities. The whole site is extremely well looked after. Lovely couple who run the site.

Disliked: Only two points that can't be changed, local sheep are noisy from around 4am and the road noise on occasion. Neither would stop us returning. WiFi didn't work but wasn't an issue to us.

From the manager: Thank you for taking time out to leave a review.

Will definitely be back.

Electric grass campervan pitch (small)

Liked: Lovely dog friendly site with access to nice walks along the river and had WiFi available. The toilet & shower block were kept immaculately clean. The couple who run the site were really friendly. 10 mins walk to a pub which was also dog friendly and had a good choice of food and beer!

Electric hardstanding campervan pitch (small)

Liked: Roy & Caroline run a great site and couldn't be more helpful. We stayed on a gravel pitch by the river which was perfect. Beautiful views and plenty of wildlife to watch. Dog facilities were brilliant too. Thank you for a lovely, relaxing stay.

Disliked: Nothing to dislike.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for the great review we love making our visitors happy. We are so lucky to have such a stunning backdrop to the park and the wildlife that surround us.

Local attractions

Several walks lead directly from the site, and you can lace up your boots, pack up a picnic and hike the eight miles up to Wales’ highest waterfall, Pistyll Rhaeadr if you’re feeling particularly energised. Other outdoorsy pursuits within easy reach include horse riding, fishing and cycling… And as the site is right near Llangynog village, you’re also well placed for challenging and spectacularly scenic bike rides around the Milltir Cerrig mountain pass along the B4391, which runs between Llan Ffestiniog and Llanfyllin. If you fancy checking out the area’s lakes, the route over the mountain to Bala – 90 minutes’ bike ride or 25 minutes by car – is a highly scenic one, and at the end you’ll be greeted by lots of watery sports such as canoeing, windsurfing and whitewater rafting, or climbing, hiking, cycling, abseiling, archery and campcraft if you’d prefer to stay dry. Lake Vwrnwy is an easy half hour away.
