  • 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 well-maintained site boasts beautiful scenery, with many guests praising the peaceful riverside pitches. Facilities, including showers and toilets, are consistently described as clean and modern. Owners are frequently noted for being friendly and helpful, offering local advice. A short walk leads to a local pub. WiFi signal can be poor, and one review mentioned a brief effluent smell.

Electric hardstanding motorhome pitch

Liked I've been before and chose to come back as it had very high standards.

Disliked The ssite apparently now has new owners, and the on-site management is no longer.

It's still a very good site, but grass was longer, no WiFi - I hope this isn't a drop in standards.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Well worth a stay.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The location was fantastic in the heart of beautiful Wales.

Disliked Unkempt site, long grass. The pitch was on a slope and had no services. Electric was miles away. Nobody available on site. Shop closed and the shower block needed a good clean. For the most expensive site I have stayed at, I expected a high end well serviced site, sadly this site was bottom of the pile.

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.
