What customers say
This friendly, small campsite by a pub gets top marks for food and staff. Pitches are mostly level, and facilities are clean though basic. Handy for exploring Mid Wales' great views. Expect some road/train noise, and the pub might close early.

A gem of a little site, very friendly family that runs it. Recommend.
Power optional cement/asphalt campsite
Liked Beautiful little site with all level pitches , attached to a pub with a lovely outdoor seating area. Very friendly and welcoming family that run it. Very handy just outside the town of Welshpool but far enough out to have a real calm and countryside feel.
Will definitely return and would highly recommend.
Disliked Not a criticism, but maybe think about placing a mirror on the opposite side of the road by the entrance/exit as this would make pulling out on to the road easier.

Site has so much potential but needs a little bit of tlc
Power optional cement/asphalt campsite
Liked Level pitches
Great pint of Butty
Close to the town of Welshpool, bus stop outside a 10 minute journey into the town and a great pub OWL & Pussycat
Close to Offas Dyke walking trail
Pub garden has good facilities for children to use
Disliked Shower block very basic to the point we didn’t use it
Toilet block again requires some tlc
Not a problem for us but very close to main road, and main train line does run past the site, but you do get used to it and can’t beat a good bit of train spotting
Food was ok
No WiFi but 4G signal was strong

Great value for money Good pitch People lovely and friendly
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked We loved it, staff helpful
I took my grandchildren 15 and 5
We visited family in Manchester and had a day in Rhyl
Disliked It’s not for everyone the trains pass close to site so bit noisy but didn’t bother us my granddaughter loved waving to them and the road on other side of camp is busy day and night again it didn’t bother us
Both reflected in the site fees

The view from the pub garden…
Power optional cement/asphalt campsite
Liked The view from the pub garden is beautiful
Disliked Booked this as an Overnight stop off as I thought it was a restaurant pup and we could have food and drinks before carrying on our travels next day. The grass at side of pitches is unkept.
Only 1 toilet and I shower that was unclean and smelt of dirty water. We did not use them. The pup itself smelt musty and was also unclean. No chief just the owner making food. We didn’t eat or drink there.
The pup is on a very busy road so the traffic noise is constant and all through the night - never slept a wink
Overall worst night experienced in our MH

I stopped for an overnight camp…
Primitive grass tent campsite
Liked I stopped for an overnight camp at the Green Dragon Inn during my Offa’s Dyke challenge walk, arriving late after a gruelling day on the trail. The moment I stepped in, I was met with a genuinely warm and friendly atmosphere that felt like a home away from home. Despite the late hour, the landlady kindly kept the kitchen open and served me a much-needed hot meal — a gesture I won’t forget.
The facilities were excellent, and the relaxed, family-run vibe made it an ideal stop for a weary backpacker like me. I left feeling rested, well-fed, and grateful. Highly recommended — I’d happily stay again.
