Pop-up rural Powys site on an 11-acre family farm with great views
A 15-minute drive to Lake Vyrnwy; half an hour to Snowdonia
Firepit, fresh water and toilets provided; dogs welcome

Take a look on the map and you’ll see green all around the location of Vyrnwy Wild Welsh Camping – and that goes for the pics as well. All of this gives you a good hint as to the very rural setting of this pop-up site in the Powys countryside… It’s a hugely peaceful and secluded spot here, on an 11-acre family farm that’s well away from any roads (please be aware that access is via a farm track so it’s not suitable for low cars). There are some gorgeous views out over the valley from the pitches, with trees all around too to give the place a very quiet and remote feel. As a pop-up site everything has been set up here to have minimal impact on the land – guests have access to portable toilets, fresh water and a communal seating area with firepit/barbecue, but there are no showers and you’ll be asked to take rubbish away with you when you head out. And where will you be headed when you leave the site? Well, this is prime hiking and cycling territory, so you may be looking to take a trip to Lake Vyrnwy, find walking trails in the surrounding valleys or venture a little further into the eastern stretches of Snowdonia National Park around Lake Bala. Being in such a rural spot, you may be fooled into thinking that amenities will be hard to come by – but that’s not the case at all, as the village of Llanfyllin is a little less than 10 minutes’ drive away for a convenience store, a café, a restaurant and a great local chip shop.

Liked: This is an ideal wild camping spot in the heart of the beautiful Maldwyn area of Mid Wales where the local people are renowned for their welcoming and friendly manner. If you appreciate remoteness away from life's hamster wheel of hustle and bustle and wish to immerse yourself into Wild Wales, you needn't travel much further than your pitch to experience the abundance of wildlife and stunning Welsh countryside. In late August, during my 3 night stay, I woke up every morning to the sound of a Woodpecker feeding amongst the native trees of ash, oak, birch and hazel. During breakfast I saw Red Kite and Buzzard soaring the skies above. One lunchtime, I saw a Stoat weaving through the field. On an evening I would light a fire using firewood gathered from fallen branches. During the day, I would either take a walk around the lanes and tracks, read a book, relax with a glass of wine while absorbing the magnificent views across Maldwyn, towards Gwynedd further West or Shropshire towards the East. One day I did explore the local area by car, stopping in Meifod, Llanfair Caereinion and nearby Llanfyllin where there are amenities such as pubs, shops, cafes, restaurants and services. Within 5 miles west of the campsite is the majestic Llyn Efyrnwy/Lake Vyrnwy where you could spend a whole day exploring. Excellent hikes around the area too. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and I really liked their ecological mindset to live a simple life in harmony with Mother Nature. They were at the end of a phone/text if I needed them at any time and were so accommodating. The facilities were very basic - but for the low price, I wasn't expecting hotel facilities in the middle of a field. It is what it is and what you make of it yourself. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will definitely visit again soon!

Liked: I, and my two dogs, absolutely loved this place. This is self-contained camping at its best. We were lucky enough to be able to enjoy the wide open spaces and incredibe views alone and my dogs were able to explore off lead without bothering anyone. There are three fields and the highest has the greatest views, though can be windy. The fields and track are bumpy in places so don't come in a vehicle with low ground clearance. Will and Sammy were so accommodating and helpful, yet kept a discreet distance and allowed us to enjoy the space for ourselves. They are running the farm organically and so a pristine compost loo and water are the only facilities provided. Perfect for me; I don't understand why people want to go camping yet expect hotel facilities. The local village has a well stocked shop and good pubs. I would have like to stay longer and can't wait to be able to visit again.

Disliked: Nothing

Liked: We would highly recommend this delightful Welsh Camping site which is run by a lovely family. We've used this place as a base for our walking and water sports over the weekend. On arrival we were warmly greeted and made very welcome. We were impressed with organically sustained environment which produces great-tasteing organic honey and eggs :) We will visit again in the future. Many thanks!

Liked: Great scenery and peaceful location.

Disliked: Very poor value for money. Extremely basic facilities verging on inadequate. Flimsy 'toilet tent' flanked by plastic solar 'flowers' that contained compost toilet side-by-side with containers marked drinking water.

Local attractions

Walking boots at the ready – there are plenty of places to get out for a good long hike around here.

A little further west is the border of Snowdonia National Park (about half an hour) – come over here for great walking trails around Dolgellau (45 minutes), watersports at Lake Bala (40 minutes), mountain biking at Coed y Brenin Forest Park (55 minutes) or a beach day in Barmouth (an hour). For a rest from all the activity, take a ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (25 minutes), wander around Powis Castle and Garden (half an hour) or admire the outdoor artworks at the British Ironwork Centre (half an hour).
