  • Peaceful Dyfi valley site by a riverside, opened in 2019
  • A 15-minute drive from Machynlleth and 35 from the seaside at Barmouth
  • River beach, communal firepits and barbecues/campfires allowed
What might you adventurously fancy first when you arrive at Dyfi Adventure Campsite? A hike off into the Welsh hills, mountains and lush green countryside of the Dyfi valley? A hurtle down acclaimed mountain biking trails… or climbing to heady heights around the trails of Snowdonia National Park just to the north…? Or you might care to take things most easily instead... If your sense of adventure extends to peace, quiet and beaches, all is sorted here too: Dyfi Adventure is in a land of spectacular views and gentle strolls, next to the River Dyfi for waterside ambles, paddles and a lounge on the riverside beach. More beaches – wide, wild and sandy – are within driving distance at Aberdyfi and Barmouth, each 35 minutes away. And then? An evening around the campfire, but of course – both campfires and barbecues are sensibly allowed here and there’s a communal firepit if you’re still feeling sociable after your day mountain biking (bragging encouraged). The closest big town for supplies is Machynlleth, 15 minutes’ drive away. Please note that this site has a quiet hours policy in place after 10pm (there should be no noise at all after 11).

What customers say

A ripper spot by the river, with heaps of space and grouse views. Toilets and showers are mostly sweet, but a few reckon they're a bit dated. Ace for swimming, walking, and hitting up Dyfi Bike Park or the Mach Loop. Campfires are a go, with wood for sale. Watch out for mozzies at dusk.

Liked The Views , location and being close to the river was good.
Plenty of spaces to choose from at the site.

Disliked Checking in, we received no response from one of the WhatsApp numbers, the other WhatsApp number replied back with "we no longer run the site".

Lack of water supply meant that the toilets couldnt/wouldn't flush.
Showers were out of order too because of this water issue.

No communication received by the site regarding the issue and when it would be resolved.

We left early morning to go home for a shower

Liked Amazing views and plenty of space. Having some time with kids down the river was amazing. The night sky was beautiful

Disliked The bins were overflowing. But I imagine it had been a particularly busy time.

Liked Maybe the view of mountains and river.

Disliked We did not enjoy the campsite at all, when arrived the bins were overflowing at the entrance and the smell was horrendous!! The toilet's were so smelly and we had to flush if needed as it stated on the door. They barely flushed! We will not be returning here again

Local attractions

The Dyfi valley has stellar mountain biking in the land around Machynlleth and the Dyfi forest. Hire a bike and helmet in town if you haven’t brought your own, then set off on the nine and a half-mile Cli-mach X trail around the southern part of the forest, or go for one of the Mach trails setting out from Machynlleth. A day in Machynlleth should also be slotted into your schedule, to spend an afternoon around the swish Centre for Alternative Technology or picking up Welsh produce at the big Wednesday market. If you’re a hiker rather than a biker, walking paths cut through the town too: set off on the 135-mile Glyndwr's Way running through Powys from Knighton to Welshpool, or the 108 miles of the Dyfi Valley Way, meandering all the way along the River Dyfi and back down the other bank.
