- Dog-friendly wild camping site with views of the Black Mountains
- A 15-minute drive to the Black Mountains and Abergavenny
- A five-minute drive to the Offa’s Dyke footpath and the nearest pub
From tackling summits to taking it easy on grassy pitches with views of the Black Mountains, spend some time away at Campston Hill Wild Camping in Monmouthshire, 15 minutes’ drive from the relaxed market town of Abergavenny. This peaceful dog-friendly site makes a good base for mixing and matching mountain hikes in the Black Mountains, including the Sugar Loaf (20 minutes’ drive), Skirrid Fawr (15 minutes) or Blorenge (25 minutes), with local footpaths and tours around local heritage sites including castles and ruined priories.
Fired up for wild camping, this site has basic facilities including toilets and a dishwashing area so you can focus your attention on the sublime views. Part of a working farm down a private farm lane half a mile from the nearest road, the surroundings are pretty peaceful and the site is also nicely connected to several walking trails, including the huge Offa’s Dyke footpath within five minutes’ drive of the site.
A stop on the same footpath, touch base at the nearest pub, five minutes’ drive away for a pint of ale or a meal. Handily, the pub has a beer garden where you (and the dog) can sit outside and rest your feet. Later, pick up any supplies (and any bits you need for a campfire back on site) from the food shops in Abergavenny, 15 minutes’ drive away.
Open from 01/07/2022 to 28/07/2022

Excellent site for wild camping
From the manager...
We apologise for the sounds in the night. Network Rail is doing some major works to the main south wales railway line. So sadly out of our control and can only be done at night. The shooting sounds are crop scarers on neighbouring arable farms to prevent crow damage. Glad you enjoyed your stay with us 😊 Thank you for coming |
