  • Off-grid hideaway deep in the Powys countryside
  • A 45-minute drive from Aberystwyth or Powis Castle
  • Family-friendly breaks in a convenient location close to the A470
Picturing a break in the Powys countryside? Then you'll probably be quite chuffed with Ty Llewelyn Glamping and Camping, a 13-acre rural site surrounded by gorgeous Powys greenery. Located just under a mile from the A470 and within a five-minute drive of the small market town of Llanidloes, this spot is a proper off-grid hideaway with access to a wealth of views, wildlife and local Mid Wales attractions. Families are very welcome to come and stay for a spell at Ty Llewelyn Glamping and Camping – kids will surely appreciate the extensive woodlands, where they're free to make their own games and reconnect with nature. Other quality family activities like barbecues and campfires are allowed here too, and with good night-time visibility you can look forward to storytelling under the stars. Llanidloes on the River Severn is within walking distance if you fancy staying local and is home to a bakery, a well-stocked supermarket, a pub and a takeaway. Keep following the road along and you'll soon reach Llyn Clywedog (15 minutes' drive), a large reservoir with historic miners' buildings, fishing opportunities, an impressive concrete dam and spectacular views over 615 acres of water. The Wales Coast Path is also within reach, and Ty Llewelyn Glamping and Camping is roughly three quarters of an hour from attractive seaside towns like Aberystwyth.

Unpowered concrete and grass tent or campervan site

Liked: Lovely location, handy washing up area.

Disliked: Didn't like their version of compost toilet of pooing into bag, and covering with your toilet paper, smell wasn't nice and I felt it unhygenic. Even though I'm sure its emptied regularly its all to close to the surface and highly visible. Surely a pit and sawdust would be better. Also there should be a door on the mens urinals, in this day and age was unacceptable.

From the manager: Hi Stephanie, thank you for your comments. Its a shame you didn't mention any of this when I was cleaning our toilets every morning…… I would like to say that our composting toilets are no different to most-they are essentially a box with a lined bucket for solid waste and a separator where pee can go into a soak away. When used correctly they are very effective, environmentally friendly and do not smell. We use to offer sawdust but we have found over the years that children on site tent to play with it and make a mess, so we just ask our guest to descretly cover with an extra layer of our compostable toilet paper and it works fine. I change the liners daily or twice daily depending on volume of campers. The urinals have privicay screens and are more than suitable, although you were parked directly opposite them which I thought at the time slightly unusual. Its unfortunate you wouldn't visit us or recommend us to others, I had a lovely chat with the lady you were travelling with and thought you were having a nice time too…..most people do!

amazing location and warm welcome will definitely be coming again!!!

Bell tent (pet friendly)

Liked: Location was stunning Bell tent was amazing, was clean bright and airy, really nicely decorated felt like a home away from home. Outside kitchen was well stocked, we are complete rookies to camping with children and it had everything needed from two cookers, all plates and cutlery pan and frying pan, cool box and can wash up there. Toilet was clean and nice to have a private one aswell as the ones at shower block which was also super clean and worked really well. The place has a shed shop which is handy for any little bits or treats aswell as easy to buy wood using a qwerty code. The best bit must be the host, Maria (I think sorry if wrong) was super friendly and welcoming, goes out of her way for you and really makes you feel at home.

Bell tent (pet friendly)

Liked: The site was beautiful and quiet. Maria was lovely and friendly as well as her boys who help her out. The location is perfect for a quiet, peaceful holiday and it's not far from some wonderful places to explore like Hafren Forrest, Rhaydar Dam and the Llandlois town is perfect for a mooch and some pub grub. The belle tent was comfortable and felt homely. We could have stayed longer. I couldn't recommend this place enough. Will definitely be staying again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

2 bedroom safari tent (no pets)

Liked: The campsite is wonderfully peaceful. The river is a dream for playing in and the glamping tents are really well laid out. The owner is the most helpful lady I have ever met!

Disliked: The public toilets may require checking a little more often to have bins emptied etc but I think the kind owner needs a little more support with the campsite as she is busy looking after guests.

2 bedroom safari tent (no pets)

Liked: The safari tent was perfectly set up for a family of 5. The views and site are beautiful and Maria goes above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. We stayed as an extended family and it couldn't have been a better place to do this.

Disliked: Slightly steep banks and step off of the safari tent decking just worth being aware of with very little children.

Local attractions

For paddleboarding, fishing and other activities in the open air, head to Llyn Clywedog (15 minutes' drive), a gorgeous 615-acre reservoir surrounded by forested hills. To learn a totally new sport, there's also Valley View Falconry (25 minutes) where a team of friendly experts will teach you how to handle birds of prey like a pro. Pretty market towns in the surrounding area like Machynlleth (30 minutes) and Hay-on-Wye (an hour) are a must for fans of independent shops, while the seaside university town of Aberystwyth (45 minutes) is sure to provide entertainment with its cliff railway, steam trains, well-preserved seafront and art galleries. On top of that, some of Britain's best castles can be reached with ease, including 13th-century Powis Castle (45 minutes) and its far-famed garden terraces and Clun Castle (50 minutes) overlooking the spectacular Shropshire Hills over in England. Stick around in Shropshire for walks along the majestic Long Mynd (an hour), or hot-foot it back to Wales for more adventure in southern Snowdonia (from 40 minutes) and the Brecon Beacons National Park (from an hour).
