What customers say
Beautiful, serene campsite in stunning scenery with a river. Guests rave about spotless facilities, friendly staff, and well-kept pitches, many by the river. Great for dog owners, with excellent walks. Local pub nearby. Minor Wi-Fi/dishwashing quibbles, but overwhelmingly positive with many wanting to return.

We had a fantastic stay here…
Powered grass tent campsite (no pets)
Liked We had a fantastic stay here in Henstent Park. The campsite is in a lovely location and we were camped right by the river which was splendid. The facilities were clean and there was even a fridge and microwave in the little wash up room. Our wardens Roy and Caroline were very lovely and helpful, they lent us a map and gave us lots of useful information about the area. They showed us tremendous kindness which we are very grateful for.
The village has a pub and cafe and you can hike straight from there. We hiked to both the nearby Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall and Lake Vyrnwy. We were without a car so took a taxi from Welshpool station.

Liked Good location, short drive to Lake Vyrnwy for paddle boarding and a two hour hike over to Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfall. Lovely site, clean and friendly. Good facilities. Plenty of dog walking space. Will return.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review. We’re are so pleased you enjoyed your stay and made the most of the local area, including Lake Vyrnwy and Pistyll Rhaeadr — they really are special places to explore.

Very enjoyable two nights.
Powered cement/asphalt campervan campsite (small)
Liked We had a lovely, spacious pitch for our campervan which had the brook running behind it and we were placed nicely out of the way. The scenery was gorgeous and very relaxing. Nice quiet campsite. Very friendly owners. There was a pub about 10 minutes walk through a field of sheep which was OK for us as the weather was amazing but if it had been raining, it wouldn't have been so good.
Disliked There was Wi-Fi on site but the signal was very poor a lot of the time (not the owners' fault obviously).

Powered cement/asphalt campervan campsite (small)
Liked The pitch right on the riverside, toilets were very clean, a quiet campsite with an idyllic view. Enjoyed a stroll along the riverside from one end of the site to the other, a nice little pub just a couple of fields walk the other way. Shared facilities available too with a toaster, microwave, washing machine, freezer and a book/ dvd exchange.
