What customers say
This is an immaculate, peaceful site in a stunning, tranquil location with beautiful views and riverside pitches. Guests consistently praise the exceptionally clean, modern facilities, including showers and toilets. The hosts, Roy and Caroline, are frequently mentioned as incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, offering great local knowledge. Dogs are welcome, with dedicated walking areas. While some mention a lack of mobile signal and patchy Wi-Fi, this is often offset by the site's many positive attributes. A nearby pub is a pleasant walk away.

Electric grass tent pitch (no pets)
Liked A lovely small campsite with clean toilets and showers. The owners were friendly and welcoming.
There are no cars allowed on the tent field but we were able to park right by the gate so we didn't have to carry our things very far.
The location is stunning and there are plenty of things to do in the area including lakes, waterfalls and walks.
We loved that each pitch had a picnic bench for us to use and also a BBQ/ cooking stand. We will definitely visit again.

Electric hardstanding campervan pitch (small)
Liked We really enjoyed our stay at Henstent Park, it was the perfect location for what we wanted to do whilst in wales.
On arrival we were welcomed when checking it was really friendly, informative and felt like they cared about each guest staying there.
The site itself was peaceful, well maintained and felt really safe to stay here
The pitch was a really good size with electric and water as well making it super convenient for our stay, we were also right by the stream and had views of the Welsh countryside too.
The facilities were always clean and well presented, we were also travelling with a young baby so the added extras such as a microwave made it simple to sterilise bottles and the large shower/bBy change was handy too
Our dog loved her walks along the stream and into the dog field on site and the site was very dog friendly.
Would stay here again if we were planning to be in the area again in the future

Amazing site, stunning location, spotless and perfect setup!
Electric grass tent pitch (no pets)
Liked My first impression, in a word — amazing!
The facilities were brilliant, and the location was absolutely picturesque. From a practical point of view, being so close to Revolution Bike Park was ideal — just a stone’s throw away. There was also a great pub in town that we made good use of!
The site itself was fantastic. We had a couple of tents and a van on-site and couldn’t fault a thing — from the quality of service to the cleanliness and overall setup. Everything was spot on.
I’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Thank you once again for a brilliant stay!

You won't be disappointed if you stay at this site.
Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch
Liked Beautifully well kept caravan site next to a babbling brook, a few minutes walk to the local pub for meals or drinks. The pitches were well maintained with concrete runners on slate gravel and a sizeable area of astro turf next to the pitch, water and ehu to the pitch we were allocated. Fenced off dog walk and a large fenced secure field to let the dogs off the lead with tables and benches to sit on and watch the dogs. The showers and toilets were immaculate and the site wardens, Caroline and Roy, were extremely helpful and friendly with great local knowledge. Even went the extra mile by lending us a bayonet attachment for our new bbq.
The site is set amongst the most beautiful mountain scenery.
We will most definitely return soon.
Many thanks Roy and Caroline. See you soon.
