  • Family-friendly site on the banks of the Banwy river in Mid Wales
  • A five-minute drive to a steam railway; 10 minutes to Welshpool
  • River fishing permitted; play area on site; 500 metres from a pub
Whether you're planning days of outdoor pursuits or scenic steam railway rides, your holiday in Mid Wales should be off to a flying start at Henllan Caravan Park. This family-friendly site first opened in the 1960s, and it has grown into a very gorgeous spot to set down on the banks of the Banwy river, with fishing available in the river and a play area set up for those guests who have brought the whole family along. Another highlight is that there's a pub near the site, open on Friday and Saturday evenings. A golf course is 10 minutes’ drive away for any keen golfers and the surrounding Powys landscape has many opportunities for things like mountain biking, swimming, climbing and hiking for all the adventurous types. Shops and that sort of thing can be tracked down in Welshpool, 10 minutes’ drive away. This historic town has some gorgeous Georgian buildings and the Montgomery Canal for a peaceful stroll or you could look in on the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes) while you’re around there. For more nostalgic activities, the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway is five minutes’ drive from the site. Back at your riverside site, there’s a shower block ready for you to freshen up. The pitches themselves are all well-maintained and flat with great views, so your stay should be both comfortable and scenic. Please note that the facilities block is approximately 300 yards from the main pitching area. Gas and electric cooking stoves are welcome on site.

What customers say

Guests praise the beautiful location, friendly staff, and spacious, clean pitches. Many highlight the lovely river, children's play area, and dog-friendly facilities. A recurring point is the significant distance to the toilet and shower block from the camping field, with some suggesting on-site portaloos. Despite this, most would return.

Non-electric grass pitch

Liked Large level grassy field.
Friendly warden.
Access to river for paddling.

Disliked Only two cubicles, one sink and one shower in each of gents and ladies was insufficient for the number of campers.
Being told we could pitch where we wanted seemed an advantage, until we returned to find lots of others had pitched very close to us.
Very busy, with lots of children playing happily, but noisily.
Distance to the toilets was a bit of an issue.
No information as to where drinking water taps etc were.

Liked ✅ Absolutely fantastic and peaceful place for camping. The site is very clean, and the wardens were extremely friendly and helpful. The Afon River behind the pitches is lovely for swimming, both for adults and children. There is plenty of space to play, and there are children's playgrounds on site. I would definitely recommend staying here as it is very peaceful.

The only downside is that the toilets are quite far away, about a 10-minute walk, and there is only one shower, so sometimes you have to wait to use the shower or bathroom. Also, an odour treatment is used in the drinking water, which changes the taste of the water.

Local attractions

With Eryri/Snowdonia National Park to the west and the Shropshire Hills National Landscape to the south-east, there’s a lot of hiking accessible from this site. You could set your compass towards Lake Vyrnwy (35 minutes' drive), just outside of Snowdonia, for a day of lakeside walks, watersports and cycling followed by a cream tea – or perhaps head up towards Pistyll Rhaeadr (45 minutes) for a four-mile hike with a reward in the form of a spectacular waterfall. Add some historical elements to your holiday in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. The Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (35 minutes) still stands from the Bronze Age and the moorlands of the surrounding Stapeley Hill make for another splendid walk. Then there are the Stiperstones (45 minutes), a cool ridge that's made up of rocks that are hundreds of millions of years old – another place for a good long wander. When you’re ready to muck into the rural way of life, head to Park Hall The Countryside Experience (40 minutes), a farm with play areas that has opened its doors for families to get involved in animal activities like meeting the alpacas or watching the pig racing.
