  • 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: Lovely friendly welcome. As close to wild as we would want. Sat by the river, fire pit burning, with a bottle of beer in hand, heaven. Used the portaloo as we were in the bottom field and showers in a horsebox.

Katie L. The reviewer booked through Pitchup.com

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked: Peaceful site with large pitches which are very well spaced out, even on august bank holiday weekend it didn't feel crowded. Very helpful owner and staff, showed you to your pitch on arrival and explained where everything was. Right on the river and lovely views. Hour walk in to hay on wye down a lane, or a very short drive down the main road.

Disliked: Having more facilities in the field I was in would have made the stay absolutely perfect, namely a shower and some bins. Toilets were there which was great but there could be room for just one shower stall in there, the two showers in the middle field were great though, very hot water and they were clean.

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked: Wonderful campsite, beautiful views of the area and sunset in the evening was stunning. The pitch had a fire pit in the ground so we could cook smores in the evenings. Our pitch was huge and secluded, we had a campervan, a tent box, and a large tent and extra car with loads of spare room! It was lovely and quiet too. The staff were friendly and came round with fire wood in the evenings. There were horses, donkeys, and a goat on the farm. The showers I had were great, not a typical campsite shower as you could actually change the temperature and pressure in these! There were 2 proper flushing toilets by the 2 showers which is always a bonus on a wild site. There are no bins so we brought our rubbish home, which we were happy to do. It was a bank holiday weekend and yet it didn't seem busy so we enjoyed our peace here. Towards the end of the weekend the portaloos began to fill up, but it's just a short walk to the flushing toilets so wasn't an issue for us. Overall we loved this site and would very happily visit again! Thank you for a wonderful stay ❤️

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked: Such a lovely spot close to the River Wye, perfect for launching our kayak. Really liked how the pitches were a generous size with plenty of room between each other. Loved how there are large patches of wild meadow everywhere, for nature to thrive and yet neat pitches for camping. Toilets and showers were good. Only a few minutes drive into Hay-on-Wye. Highly recommended

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.
