  • Family-friendly site on the banks of the Banwy river in Mid Wales
  • A five-minute drive to a steam railway; 10 minutes to Welshpool
  • River fishing permitted; play area on site; 500 metres from a pub
Whether you're planning days of outdoor pursuits or scenic steam railway rides, your holiday in Mid Wales should be off to a flying start at Henllan Caravan Park… This family-friendly site first opened in the 1960s, and it has grown into a very gorgeous spot to set down on the banks of the Banwy river, with fishing available in the river and a play area set up for those guests who have brought the whole family along. Another highlight is that there's a pub just 500 metres from the pitching field; call in to see what food and entertainment they have planned (it varies throughout the season). There’s a golf course 10 minutes’ drive away for any keen golfers and the surrounding Powys landscape has many opportunities for things like mountain biking, swimming, climbing and hiking for all the adventurous types. Shops and that sort of thing can be tracked down in Welshpool, 10 minutes’ drive away. This historic town has some gorgeous Georgian buildings and the Montgomery Canal for a peaceful stroll or you could look in on the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden (20 minutes) while you’re around there. For more nostalgic activities, the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway is five minutes’ drive from the site. Back at your riverside site, there’s a shower block ready for you to freshen up. The pitches themselves are all well-maintained and flat with great views, so your stay should be both comfortable and scenic. Please note that the facilities block is approximately 300 yards from the main pitching area.

What customers say

This well-maintained, clean, and peaceful campsite has a beautiful riverside location and friendly, helpful staff. Reviewers praised the flat sites, spacious feel, and secure dog area. While the on-site pub and playground were popular, the distance to and limited number of washrooms were frequently noted as drawbacks, especially for families.

Primitive grass campsite

Liked Lovely place. I can imagine it’s beautiful in the summer unfortunately I picked the wrong weekend to go camping as the rain ruined it for us but love the secure dog area for your fury friends to get a proper run around, lots of space to choose from for camping also.

Disliked The toilet block was so far away from the camp area.

Powered gravel travel trailer campsite

Liked The peaceful location, the beautiful river walk, the friendly atmosphere from people on the site as well as the wardens, great for a stop over on a longer journey.

Disliked It’s a small point, however an important one in that first impressions are not the best, particularly if on the hard standing pitches.
The bins could probably do to be a bit more discreet, and the 2 older statics look a bit out of place, but once you get into the site it’s really well kept and lovely to wander round.

Liked Clean and tidy site. No litter. Very well maintained. Delightful location, decent size pitches. Camping facilities adequate. Good value pricing.

Disliked Arrival times. We were unavoidably delayed. Rang site as soon as we could as a courtesy to inform them. The person we spoke to said they allow leeway, but no arrivals after 1 hour after the set time. After that, they refuse entry as it causes much disturbance for other residents. We made it in time to avoid that. Registering & paying all fine. Though we went to great lengths to avoid disturbing other residents on site, during our stay the peace and quiet we respected was not respected by others; on the first night, noise continued until nearly 11pm. Fortunately the noise was less then on, so presumably those responsible left next morning.

The site owners may wish to state clearly in the booking process that their policy is to refuse admittance if residents are unable to arrive within their preferred arrival window. Its their site, their rules, all concerned would know where they stood.

Local attractions

With Eryri/Snowdonia National Park to the west and the Shropshire Hills National Landscape to the south-east, there’s a lot of hiking accessible from this site. You could set your compass towards Lake Vyrnwy (35 minutes' drive), just outside of Snowdonia, for a day of lakeside walks, watersports and cycling followed by a cream tea – or perhaps head up towards Pistyll Rhaeadr (45 minutes) for a four-mile hike with a reward in the form of a spectacular waterfall. Add some historical elements to your holiday in the Shropshire Hills National Landscape. The Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (35 minutes) still stands from the Bronze Age and the moorlands of the surrounding Stapeley Hill make for another splendid walk. Then there are the Stiperstones (45 minutes), a cool ridge that's made up of rocks that are hundreds of millions of years old – another place for a good long wander. When you’re ready to muck into the rural way of life, head to Park Hall The Countryside Experience (40 minutes), a farm with play areas that has opened its doors for families to get involved in animal activities like meeting the alpacas or watching the pig racing.
