  • Dog-friendly site on the banks of the River Wye
  • A 45-minute walk from Hay-on-Wye, with canoe hire available nearby
  • Pebble beaches where guests can set up a firepit or barbecue
A location right on the banks of the River Wye is a good start for Digeddi Wildlife Camping… Then add to that gorgeous riverside position private, well-spaced pitches and pebble beaches where guests can light up a firepit for a barbecue, and you’ve got the recipe for quite the scrumptious stay. Also rather appetising is the fact that Digeddi Wildlife Camping is only a 45-minute walk from Hay-on-Wye, a town famed for its bookshops. There are canoe hire companies within five minutes’ drive of the site who will gladly organise a day’s river tour, ending at a pub for a pint and a snack in typical British fashion too. Whether you’re on a solo jaunt or on a family get-together, feel free to launch any water crafts from the designated point on site instead if you like. If the mountains are calling your name instead and pony trekking sounds like an ace way to experience them, just ask for the details at reception. As a family-run site, all of the team have a hand in maintenance, cleaning and welcoming guests (and they all have heads full of useful information too). The guests’ wellbeing is always at the front of their minds, of course. When it comes to practical matters, there are hot showers housed in a horse trailer on site and shops, pubs, cafés, restaurants, a supermarket, a cinema and a post office in Hay-on-Wye.

Liked: Awesome site with beautiful views & surroundings, the pitches are great as loads of space and you feel like you have the place to yourself. Great place to stargaze & chill with a firepit and great access to the river Wye for a swim or paddle-board. The toilets are clean & functional. Friendly helpful owners 😊

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked: The layout of the site is lovely, and feels like wild camping but with facilities!. Some of the pitches are "private" and give a sense of seclusion. A lot of the pitches have a firepit and you can purchase logs - we loved sitting around the fire in the evening listening to the owls. Pitches are level, which was helpful as we have a campervan. The facilities are basic but clean and adequate. The owners are very helpful and friendly, and they made sure that we had a pitch near access to the river as they knew we wanted to kayak. We loved seeing the horses, donkeys and goat.

Local attractions

Whether you’re a hiker or biker, there should be a trail you fancy somewhere in the local area. Biking trails are plentiful upon Hay Bluff (15 minutes’ drive), or over at The Begwns (20 minutes), which has stunning views over the Brecon Beacons. The Black Mountains (around 20 minutes) are, of course, packed with trails of all sorts, but if you’re looking to cross off the famed Brecon Beacons walk of Pen y Fan (half an hour), it’s pretty easy to reach the big peak too. Activities-wise, you’re by no means limited to hiking and biking. Gorge walking, clay pigeon shooting, archery, caving, climbing and go-karting can be booked with the activity centre five minutes’ drive away. Throw some rowing, windsurfing or paddleboarding into the mix too. Any of these makes an excellent way to experience Llangorse Lake (20 minutes), a glacial lake that has the only crannog (artificial inhabited island) in Wales and England.
