Henstent Park

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.

What customers say

This is a beautiful, peaceful campsite nestled in stunning scenery with a river running alongside. Visitors consistently praise the immaculate cleanliness of the facilities, including the showers and toilets, and highlight the exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Pitches are well-maintained, with many enjoying riverside locations. The site is well-suited for dog owners and offers excellent walking opportunities. A local pub is a short walk away. While some mention minor issues with WiFi or the availability of washing-up stations, overall feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a strong desire to return.

Electric grass tent pitch (no pets)

Liked Idyllic site with camping right in front of the small river. Great views of the sheep and lambs in the field opposite jumping around and playing too. Benches provided which was great to be able to sit out.

Toilets and showers all to a good standard, and a separate room for washing up that also had a microwave and toaster that you can use.

Will definitely be returning.

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.
