  • Peaceful Powys site on a remote family-run sheep farm
  • A 25-minute drive to Welshpool; Gregynog Hall 20 minutes
  • Playground and dog run on site; guests can join in with farm tasks
If your main requirement for a place to stay in Powys is a peaceful spot with lovely green scenery all around, Carmel Caravan Park could well be the place for you. This place is rural and remote, with rather wonderful views of the hills all around – just the spot for a proper countryside chill-out. There’s a pub about five minutes’ drive away in the village of Cefn Coch, but that’s about it for local facilities; for shops, places to eat and other urban amenities you’ll need to head to Welshpool, about 25 minutes away. There are plenty of practical facilities on site, though – including a launderette, washing-up areas and a guest fridge-freezer, plus a smart modern bathroom block with accessible facilities and underfloor heating to keep your toes warm. In such a thoroughly rural setting you’ll really be able to throw yourselves into farming life if you want to. This is a family-run site where the owners have been offering a warm welcome for more than 60 years – and these days that includes offering guests the chance to help out with the everyday running of the place through things like lamb feeding in spring. Even if you don’t choose to get stuck in, you’ll no doubt want to say hello to the farm’s friendly pet sheep; they’re amenable to being taken for a walk too. For other countryside pursuits, there’s coarse and fly fishing available on site, and plenty of places to get out for walks nearby. Back on site, there’s a playground for the kids and a secure dog run where four-legged guests can get the zoomies out of their system.

What customers say

Reviewers consistently praise the exceptional friendliness and helpfulness of the owners, the immaculate cleanliness of the site and facilities (particularly showers and toilets), and the beautiful, peaceful surroundings. Children enjoy the play area and opportunities to interact with farm animals, especially lambs. The lack of mobile signal and Wi-Fi is seen by many as a positive for a digital detox. Some minor points include the narrow access roads and the additional cost of Wi-Fi, which can be intermittent. Overall, guests highly recommend the site and express a strong desire to return.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Waking up to a lovely view. Star gazing at night, clean toilet and shower facilities. Park for the children was ok for younger children but not for teenagers. Nothing for teenagers to do on site. No ball games allowed.

Disliked Mixed messages and communication from all staff. Some of the staff unfriendly and rude.
One day the kids and adults went finishing was made to pay, the next day was told the kids did not need to pay and was not offered a refund.
You have to pay for WIFI per device which was not great there is an option to pay via pay pal but with having no signal was unable to verify the payment. I would suggest a free 30 minutes to be able to verify payments.
Rules are misleading, as it seems to be one rule for one but not the other.
It states on the description that you could help with farming activities that the children were looking forward to but this was also none existent.
I feel that the description of this campsite needs to be reviewed.

Fully-serviced hardstanding pitch

Liked A very quiet and peaceful place. Everything was spotlessly clean, especially the toilets and shower facilities. The whole site is very well organised. There are lovely walks nearby, making it a great place to stay with a dog. The owners are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Local attractions

It’s all about the outdoor activities around here – ask the team on site for tips on places to get out for a walk nearby, or base your stroll around a landmark like Dolforwyn Castle (25 minutes’ drive) or Lake Vyrnwy (45 minutes). For two-wheeled adventures, try the off-road trails at Caersws Bike Park (25 minutes). Meanwhile, for gentler days out you could choose to take a ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (15 minutes) or opt for a stroll through the gorgeous gardens at Gregynog Hall (20 minutes). Or, if you’d like a further fix of animal encounters, sign up to meet the big birds at Falconry Experience Wales (five minutes) or go for a woolly walk at Mid Wales Alpacas Trek and Experience (15 minutes). If you’re heading over to Welshpool (25 minutes), plan to spend some time at the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden while you’re there, or take a walk along the Montgomery Canal towpath.
