  • Peaceful Powys site on a remote family-run sheep farm
  • A 25-minute drive to Welshpool; Gregynog Hall 20 minutes
  • Playground and dog run on site; guests can join in with farm tasks
If your main requirement for a place to stay in Powys is a peaceful spot with lovely green scenery all around, Carmel Caravan Park could well be the place for you. This place is rural and remote, with rather wonderful views of the hills all around – just the spot for a proper countryside chill-out. There’s a pub about five minutes’ drive away in the village of Cefn Coch, but that’s about it for local facilities; for shops, places to eat and other urban amenities you’ll need to head to Welshpool, about 25 minutes away. There are plenty of practical facilities on site, though – including a launderette, washing-up areas and a guest fridge-freezer, plus a smart modern bathroom block with accessible facilities and underfloor heating to keep your toes warm. In such a thoroughly rural setting you’ll really be able to throw yourselves into farming life if you want to. This is a family-run site where the owners have been offering a warm welcome for more than 60 years – and these days that includes offering guests the chance to help out with the everyday running of the place through things like lamb feeding in spring. Even if you don’t choose to get stuck in, you’ll no doubt want to say hello to the farm’s friendly pet sheep; they’re amenable to being taken for a walk too. For other countryside pursuits, there’s coarse and fly fishing available on site, and plenty of places to get out for walks nearby. Back on site, there’s a playground for the kids and a secure dog run where four-legged guests can get the zoomies out of their system.

What customers say

Guests rave about the friendly, helpful owners, spotless grounds, and tranquil rural setting. Kids love the playground and seeing the lambs. Paid Wi-Fi can be spotty. Some found it remote with twisty roads. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway.

FHU cement/asphalt campsite

Liked A very quiet and peaceful place. Everything was spotlessly clean, especially the toilets and shower facilities. The whole site is very well organised. There are lovely walks nearby, making it a great place to stay with a dog. The owners are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Local attractions

It’s all about the outdoor activities around here – ask the team on site for tips on places to get out for a walk nearby, or base your stroll around a landmark like Dolforwyn Castle (25 minutes’ drive) or Lake Vyrnwy (45 minutes). For two-wheeled adventures, try the off-road trails at Caersws Bike Park (25 minutes). Meanwhile, for gentler days out you could choose to take a ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (15 minutes) or opt for a stroll through the gorgeous gardens at Gregynog Hall (20 minutes). Or, if you’d like a further fix of animal encounters, sign up to meet the big birds at Falconry Experience Wales (five minutes) or go for a woolly walk at Mid Wales Alpacas Trek and Experience (15 minutes). If you’re heading over to Welshpool (25 minutes), plan to spend some time at the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden while you’re there, or take a walk along the Montgomery Canal towpath.
