  • Eco-friendly pop-up site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • An easy 10-minute walk from Crickhowell; Raglan 25 minutes' drive
  • Lovely mountain views; access to canalside walks and bike rides
A Powys pop-up site where you can park the car and then spend your days exploring on foot? That’s the deal at Camp Crick, in the gorgeous Usk Valley 10 minutes’ stroll from the pretty and historic market town of Crickhowell. The views from here are fine indeed – the site looks out at the Sugar Loaf and Table Mountain, with Llangattock Mountain behind. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal runs past the fields too, for easy access to miles of safe cycling and walking along the towpath. For more walking options there are plenty of trails that lead off up into the mountains (see if you can find the very rare floating bog below the escarpment on Llangattock Mountain…) The car’s unlikely to see much action at all around here, in fact – that proximity to town means that you can easily walk to Crickhowell’s independent shops, cafés and pubs (and in fact there are a couple of pubs offering great food even closer in the village of Llangattock). Naturally, the team here have an interest in preserving this pretty part of the world, so they’ve set the site up as an eco-friendly off-grid place to stay. Generously sized pitches are tucked away within the hedges and well spaced so you’ll have plenty of room to soak up the surrounds and look out for the wildlife (resident tawny owls and buzzards are often seen, along with a wide range of songbirds). Facilities include compost loos (with biodegradable loo roll provided), cold showers and washing-up stations using spring water (you’ll need to boil it before drinking). There’s no parking by pitches (in order to preserve the peace and the wild flowers), but trailers and wheelbarrows are provided to haul your kit.

What customers say

This campsite offers a peaceful, private experience with spacious pitches and great views. Guests love the friendly hosts, eco-friendly approach, and handy location near Crickhowell. The compost toilets and cold showers are basic but clean. Occasional noise from groups and dry ground conditions were minor points for some.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Great location near Crickhowell and Llangattock and the pitches were generourly spaced out to give a bit of privacy to each camp. Also love that cars were kept to the carpark only.

Disliked Nothing, though the cold showers may be less enjoyable in the fringe seasons, but in July/August they were a dream.

Liked The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The pitches were large and the use of the natural bushes and trees added a feeling of seclusion and privacy which was good.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Relaxed atmosphere - helpful team that looked after me. Put my camping kit in a small trailer and moved it the the site. Great location and the loos, for composite were clean and not very smelly (it is a hot summer too). Car parking on site - free. Walked into Crickhowell and was only 10mins across the filed and over the bridge. Really liked this site and hope to be back when they next open for a longer stay. thank you for a great couple of days.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Location, view, both amazing, how the site was set up gave lots of privacy. Compostable toilets were clean and had been designed creatively. A back to basics campsite but with everything you need, including solar powered charging point. Great access for canal, Crickhowell, Abergavenny , Brecon and all surrounding countryside and mountains. Enjoyed our stay very much .
