  • Peaceful family-run Mid Wales site in the grounds of a watermill
  • A 10-minute walk to a vineyard; a 25-minute drive to the Stiperstones
  • Accessible family shower room; farm-run ice cream station next door
From acting like a wine aficionado on the local vineyard to hiking around the historic sites on the Stiperstones… Millers Rest Campsite will get you recharging your batteries in no time. This place is a family-run site in Powys, on the grounds of the 17th-century Bacheldre Watermill and 10 minutes’ drive away from the Shropshire Hills. That means that sublime scenery’s a given, including mature trees, farmlands and streams surrounding the site. It’s really quite remote… all the more privacy and peace for your lot. Despite all this, there’s no need to give up your creature comforts. The site has free showers including an accessible shower room (suited to larger families) and a heated toilet block. There’s also a dishwashing area and waste disposal area to ensure that you keep your grassy pitches nice and tidy, primed for more relaxation. As for tracking down some tasty eats, well, there’s a homemade ice cream station next door to the site, where the flavours are made from dairy fresh from their farm. Thankfully, there's no shortages of pubs in the surrounding area either, with popular spots in Bishop’s Castle (15 minutes’ drive, and a good place for indie shops and cafés too) and several more pubs within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Closer by, there’s a hotel bar serving food (five minutes’ drive) and Churchstoke (under five minutes’ drive) has a food shop, petrol station, launderette and café for more snacks, afternoon teas and the like.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: Lots of space for the kids to run around, host very pleasant and the site is out of the way of main roads.
Facilities are modern and very clean and not too far away from the pitches.

Disliked: Lots of flies due to the pond behind the pitches however that can't be helped.

Electric grass pitch

Liked: We loved our stay in mid-June, the campsite was peaceful and quiet with some nights with us being on our own. The facilities were very tidy and clean. Cleaning of the facilities was done every day.
We were allowed to select our own plot (though I can only assume this was due to it being very quiet) and we got a very nice plot.
Plenty to do in the area!
Right over the road is a lovely vineyard and next door an ice cream shop - both of which we highly recommend!
There are plenty of historic sites and monuments to visit not too far of a drive away.
Getting camp supplies is super easy as the co-op supermarket is a mere 10 minute drive away.
The local Chinese takeaway (Golden Fish) was a fantastic, very reasonably priced dinner and was very for collection very quickly!!
We really enjoyed our 7 night stay and would happily go again!

Disliked: There was a lot of bugs and flies! Though I'm really not sure we can blame the campsite for nature taking its course! My advice would be to take plenty of citronella candles, bug spray and fly traps!

Non-electric grass tent pitch

Liked: Quiet, secluded, peaceful site, with clean amenities, with one of the best showers that we have ever seen on a campsite

Disliked: It's good to get back to nature, but my god- if I had a gun- I would have shot a few crows!! They were so noisy from about 4am!! Not the campsites fault- so not really a negative for them

Local attractions

While pubs are certainly one place to put back a few local ales, those of you who are a bigger fan of a glass of red or white will want to pay a visit to Kerry Vale Vineyard (10 minutes’ walk) to sample their flavours. There’s a brewery in Montgomery (10 minutes’ drive) for another drinks-themed outing or perhaps a tour of the town's castle, independent shops, cafés or visitor centre. What’s the cocktail in Welshpool (20 minutes)? Well, it might be the heritage railway, modern art or the canal works. Meanwhile, at Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (35 minutes), you’ll stumble upon a tasty mix of moorland walks, mountain biking trails and a stream through the valley, all owned by the National Trust. Like to hone in on some historic sites while you’re on your holidays too? Well, there’s Clun Castle (25 minutes) not too far away and a Bronze Age stone circle at Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (15 minutes). More historic sites litter the way around the five and a half-mile hilly hike around the Stiperstones (25 minutes).
