  • Peaceful Dyfi valley site by a riverside, opened in 2019
  • A 15-minute drive from Machynlleth and 35 from the seaside at Barmouth
  • River beach, communal firepits and barbecues/campfires allowed
What might you adventurously fancy first when you arrive at Dyfi Adventure Campsite? A hike off into the Welsh hills, mountains and lush green countryside of the Dyfi valley? A hurtle down acclaimed mountain biking trails… or climbing to heady heights around the trails of Snowdonia National Park just to the north…? Or you might care to take things most easily instead... If your sense of adventure extends to peace, quiet and beaches, all is sorted here too: Dyfi Adventure is in a land of spectacular views and gentle strolls, next to the River Dyfi for waterside ambles, paddles and a lounge on the riverside beach. More beaches – wide, wild and sandy – are within driving distance at Aberdyfi and Barmouth, each 35 minutes away. And then? An evening around the campfire, but of course – both campfires and barbecues are sensibly allowed here and there’s a communal firepit if you’re still feeling sociable after your day mountain biking (bragging encouraged). The closest big town for supplies is Machynlleth, 15 minutes’ drive away. Please note that this site has a quiet hours policy in place after 10pm (there should be no noise at all after 11).

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Basic and enjoyable place to visit. Good improvement to the shower tray rather than standing on the pallet base.

Disliked: Lean on the washing up sinks is awkward for your back when cleaning.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: We had a wonderful time at Dyfi Adventure. The site owners are so friendly and welcoming. The campsite is right on the river, stunning views with lots of walks with our dog, toilets are kept clean and the showers are great too! There’s also lots of fire pits to use free of charge and you can buy logs on site.

Disliked: Absolutely nothing! We will 100% be returning next year.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: The friendliness of Sian, easily contactable for any questions. Really easy to book and loads of space, your not stuck too close to anyone else. I've stayed there twice now whilst out biking and both times its been faultless. Propper loos and a shower (I've not had the chance to use the shower yet but looks clean)

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked: Quiet location on the loop so planes passing low.
River runs through and hills around the site.
Two toilets, two shower service the site as its not very populated.
These are cleaned morning and night.
There's no reception, just drop them a text and choose your spot.
Close to some lovely walks and scenery.
Cheep and cheerful.

Disliked: No hot water for washing up but boil your kettle.

Local attractions

The Dyfi valley has stellar mountain biking in the land around Machynlleth and the Dyfi forest. Hire a bike and helmet in town if you haven’t brought your own, then set off on the nine and a half-mile Cli-mach X trail around the southern part of the forest, or go for one of the Mach trails setting out from Machynlleth. A day in Machynlleth should also be slotted into your schedule, to spend an afternoon around the swish Centre for Alternative Technology or picking up Welsh produce at the big Wednesday market. If you’re a hiker rather than a biker, walking paths cut through the town too: set off on the 135-mile Glyndwr's Way running through Powys from Knighton to Welshpool, or the 108 miles of the Dyfi Valley Way, meandering all the way along the River Dyfi and back down the other bank.
