  • 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 just 500 metres from the pitching field; call in to see what food and entertainment they have planned (it varies throughout the season). There’s a golf course 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.

What customers say

This well-maintained, clean, and peaceful campsite boasts a beautiful riverside location and friendly, helpful staff. Reviewers praised the flat pitches, spacious feel, and the secure dog area. While the on-site pub and playground were popular, the distance to toilet and shower facilities, and the limited number of these, were frequently noted as drawbacks, particularly for families with young children.

Liked Everything- location is beautiful. Really clean site. Reception man was very helpful. Great area for the dogs to run around off lead. Toilets/shower clean.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Lovely site, toilet block very clean, owners friendly, and within a beautiful setting. Pub on site that had live music, again very very friendly staff and the other campers as friendly. We think it is well worth the money, if anything too cheap!

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Great welcome and spacious grass pitch.

Disliked Originally booked a hard standing, but changed to grass as the hard sranding were situated across from a row of bins and felt like a car park. Toilet facilities poor and 5 min walk from touring pitches.

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked Andy (site owner) met us on arrival and made us feel incredibly welcome and helped my husband manoeuvre the tourer into a perfect spot to overlook the greenery. Andy and his wife left us to set up and we went and paid, they were very friendly and helpful.
The site is beautifully maintained, clean and peaceful.
There is a small play area for children, our 9 and 4 year old girls enjoyed it, there is a dog field which our little dog Otis loved running around in and a little shop on site. The showers and toilets were modern and clean, there is use of a washing machine, dryer, pot washing facilities and a borrow library.
Other visitors on site that own caravans and visited were lovely to chat too and shops to buy essentials are just 15 minutes away in the car.
It was a very relaxing, peaceful break, just what we needed and couldn't fault the price.

Disliked The toilets were about 5 minutes walk away but not a problem for us having a tourer. Andy did say they are hoping to build some closer to the area we stayed in but honestly I couldn't fault anything.

A nice little site, would stay again if in the area

Electric gravel touring pitch

Liked The site wardens are very accommodating, we changed our pitch on arrival, due to more family joining us. Due to the wet weather we got stuck and the warden just came along with his tractor and pulled us to the hard standing, very friendly. Site is geared for families

Disliked The toilets are a far way from the camping side of the site, but not a problem for us

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.
