  • Attractive site on the banks of the River Wye, on the edge of Rhayader
  • Red Kite Feeding Station five minutes' drive; Elan Valley 10 minutes
  • Member price shown; non-members select £7.50/night extra
A peaceful atmosphere and wonderful river and mountain views await for guests at Wyeside Camping and Caravanning Club Site – and with the added bonus of easy A-road access and convenient town facilities close by. This lovely mid Wales location makes an excellent base for walkers, wildlife watchers and those who just want a bit of quiet time in the open air. As the name suggests, it’s on the banks of the River Wye, with gorgeous green hilly landscapes forming the rest of the backdrop. It’s all very relaxing – but not remote, as the site is accessed from the A470 and on the edge of the market town of Rhayader. That location means you’ll be able to sit by the river and enjoy some peace and quiet if you like, or take the 10-minute stroll into town for an evening at one of its pubs or restaurants. It’s also easy to pick up supplies at the shops for your barbecue dinners or picnic lunches while out walking (perhaps at the Elan Valley reservoirs, 10 minutes’ drive away or walkable in a couple of hours). This site is managed by the Camping and Caravanning Club, and open to both members and non-members; a discounted rate is available for members, so you’ll just need to make sure you select the correct membership option with your booking. As you’d expect from a Club site, there are good-quality facilities here, including a launderette, a shop, wifi, a chemical disposal point and two toilet/shower blocks. You’ll also be able to use the tennis courts and football pitches at the park next door.

What customers say

Wyeside's a ripper spot with heaps of room, legends for staff, and spotless loos. Travellers loved the stunning views and bushwalks. But one bloke had a shocker with the Site Manager – said they were a grubby git about cash, where to park, and checking his ute. Manager's gonna sort it out directly.

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked Close to the town centre and attractions.

Disliked Met with immediate attitude at by the Site Manager. Said I haven't paid but after providing the Pitch-Up email confirmation he accepted I had, but with no apology. He then asked why I was a sole camper and what I was there for, again with attitude. Breaking up a long drive after a course was accepted but without a mature, intelligent human response.

He then couldn't operate the booking tablet or tell me where the pitch was and was again put off that I wasn't a member of the Caravan and Camping Club. Without any interaction between the other approaching Site manager he then notified his teammate that I had actually paid. Obviously spoke to each other, prior to my arrival but could have easily phoned or emailed to rectify the problem.

A spot inspection was then carried out with the outcome saying the van didn't not have the required ventilation. Full professional camper conversion - lined, soundproofed with off grid solar and leisure battery with fixed side window vents. Refusal to enter was the outcome.

Pretty sure that due to the payment issue on their side which they couldn't overcome or even attempt to rectify. Led to my paid booking spot getting booked to another party. Very unprofessional front of house treatment who cannot manage the simplest tasks and are a detriment to the wider site.

Local attractions

Rhayader is a lovely place to take a wander, with a riverside path and a pleasing number of pubs to try out. Just to the south of the town is the Red Kite Feeding Station (five minutes’ drive), where you can watch the daily feeding sessions from the open field or a bird hide. For more town wanders, head to Llandrindod Wells (15 minutes) or Builth Wells (20 minutes), both full of independent shops and places to eat. Llandrindod Wells is also home to the National Cycle Museum and Radnorshire Museum. Of course, it’s the stunning scenery that brings most visitors to this area, so you’ll want to plan a few walks or bike rides while you’re here – perhaps starting at the reservoirs of the Elan Valley (10 minutes) before moving on to Gilfach Nature Reserve (10 minutes) or Clywedog Reservoir (half an hour).
