  • 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 peaceful, back-to-basics spot with great views & river access. Lovely warm showers & clean loos are a hit, as are the spacious pitches & free fire pits (logs for sale). Ideal for nature lovers, hikers & bikers. Minor loo/shower upkeep noted, plus occasional mud.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked - Stunning location.
- River! Great for a quick swim to cool off.
- Great base for hillwalking (near to both Cadair Idris and the Arans).
- Spacious with pitching areas not too close.
- Didn't use them but individual fire pits are a nice touch.
- Hot showers.

Disliked - Facilities need a little TLC in places and could be cleaner (although I think some recent guests may have been more to blame).

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked I just love this site, ive been twice now in less than a year and ill probably book again near the end of August. Its facilities are minimal but clean and is definitely more of a wild camping feel. The best bit by far is the river that runs alongside it. Whether you want to wind swim or dangle your feet in it really is just the most peaceful place for a get away. The owners are very helpful and keep the site clean and re stocked. Will definitely be booking 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.
