  • Small peaceful site at a Powys working sheep farm
  • A 10-minute drive to Builth Wells and Royal Welsh Showground
  • Close to River Wye and Wye Valley Walk; firepit with wood supplied
Why is the location of Cwm Wye Camping such an excellent one? Well, it’s flanked by a mature oak wood for shade, privacy and general wildlife-rich surroundings, and – as the name suggests – it’s very close to the banks of the River Wye, making it a good base for those tackling the Wye Valley Walk or just hoping for riverside rambles… With the Epynt Way and Elan Valley close by too, a stay on this Powys working sheep farm should hold plenty of attractions for countryside visitors – but it’s also a convenient spot, with both Newbridge on Wye and Builth Wells within a 10-minute drive for those times when you need a shop, a pub or a takeaway. The Royal Welsh Showground is about 10 minutes’ drive away as well, making this a handy base for those attending events over there. Pitches at this small site are fairly simple in style, but have access to a good clutch of facilities including a washing-up area, an LPG-heated shower and a couple of compost toilets. There’s also a seating area with a firepit where you can catch up with your fellow guests, swap tips and keep warm (a wood store is provided for guests to use free of charge, so you won’t need to lug your own along). Cwm Wye Camping is a member of the Greener Camping Club, so if you’re already a member don’t forget to tick the correct box on your booking to get your discount (and you can add membership too if you’d like to sign up for more eco-friendly adventures…)

What customers say

A peaceful, secluded campsite with a "back to nature" vibe. Praised for beautiful natural surroundings, views, and tranquil atmosphere. Great for families with safe areas for kids to explore, including a woodland. Facilities are basic but clean. Friendly owners, fire pits, and hammocks make it highly recommended.

Liked This campsite is well taken care off. The setup is very spacious and has a nice atmosphere. We loved the warm shower, the compost toilet and the walk by the river. The host is very friendly and welcoming.

Cerianne G.

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The site is so peaceful & tranquil, time stands still. Cym Wye is the perfect antidote to a very stressful life, surrounded by Mother Nature in all her wonderful glory. The warmest of welcomes from the owner, who always has time to chat & suggest places to visit or things to do. Eco friendly in every way, but in no way does this compromise facilities or cleanliness, spotless compost toilets & hot showers tucked away in the woods. Surrounded by the woods, the river, the sheep & clean, fresh Welsh air, you could ask for nothing more from Cym Wye. The owners have thought of everything, from solar lights in the woods lighting the paths, to wheelbarrows to move your tent etc from car to pitch, to a fire pit for cooking under the trees. Sshhhh, don’t tell anyone incase it gets busy!😘

Disliked Having to leave! 😥

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Rare find with a very relaxed atmosphere, having the fire pits, picnic tables and hammocks in the woods was a very lovely touch and was our go to location on the site throughout our stay. Great for young children as they were able to roam freely through a small section of the woods to keep them entertained

Primitive grass tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Absolutely fantastic stay! From the gorgeous views in the most picturesque site we’ve stayed. If you love nature then this is the campsite for you. It was so safe for my young children to run around and play in bluebell wood with a den and swings. Baby lambs everywhere this time of year. River Wye right at the bottom of the site and perfect to paddle in. Even the compost loos were so regularly cleaned they don’t even smell, the site was so quiet I even kept the door open and stared out at nature 😂 We will be back soon.

Primitive grass campervan campsite

Liked Easy to get to but can't hear any main roads. Clearly set out pitches. Wonderful wooded area with firepit available for use, fire barbecue available, covered picnic table. Several picnic tables. Access to the Wye valley walk along the river. Would definitely go back. No WiFi but we wouldn't expect that in a site like this so it didn't bother us.

Local attractions

Even if you’re not tackling the full 136-mile length of the Wye Valley Walk, your walking boots are likely to be in for a good workout around here. You could, of course, just choose a section of the long-distance path to wander along, or you could take a gentle stroll around Cors y Llyn National Nature Reserve (10 minutes’ drive). The Elan Valley (25 minutes) makes a great destination for a day or two of walking – it’s got about 70 square miles of gorgeous countryside to wander through, with lakes and dams to focus on, and lots of wildlife to spot. Stop by at the Red Kite Feeding Station in Rhayader (20 minutes) en route to have a closer encounter with these fabulous birds. Perhaps a wild swim too? Head to FARMERS' Welsh Lavender Ltd (25 minutes) for that, and a café. For other days out nearby, see what’s on at the Royal Welsh Showground (10 minutes), take a wander around the streets of Victorian-era Llandrindod Wells (15 minutes), perhaps stopping in at the National Cycle Museum, or keep the kids busy with a trip to the pool in Builth Wells or some indoor play time at Quackers (both 10 minutes).
