  • Family-run site on an organic smallholding in the Wye valley
  • A mile and a half from Hay-on-Wye
  • Modern amenities block with disabled facilities and family room
Books + Black Mountains + Welsh walks + Wye fishing = happy sigh. And all are around Black Mountain View Caravan Park in Powys: it's a mere mile and a half from Hay-on-Wye, in the Wye Valley, a short walk from Offa's Dyke Path – you'll probably figure out that mountain views are on offer here too…? Run by James and his family team (described as 'friendly', 'attentive', 'helpful' and even 'delightful' by previous guests), Black Mountain View is a small, relaxed and simple holiday park on an organic smallholding on the Powys/Herefordshire border. Comings and goings are a cinch, thanks to excellent access from the main road (no worries about road noise though – even A roads are pretty quiet in this part of the world). Pony treks, canoe paddles, golf days and bike-based outings are all good outdoorsy options in the surrounds, as are the many walks on offer. If you don't fancy tackling the entire Offa's Dyke Path (177 miles… not for the faint-legged) perhaps the 40-minute riverside section that takes you into Hay-on-Wye is a more palatable idea, still with those cracking mountain views. Fond of fishing? Bring your kit and licence to scout about for barbel, chub and dace in the Wye waters just next to the site. James and family have had many a touring holiday themselves, so know that good clean facilities are at the top of most campers' and caravanners' list for ticking: the amenities here include a recently-built toilet and shower block which also has disabled facilities and a family room.

What customers say

This small, tidy spot boasts amazing views of the Black Mountains, a quick, nice walk to Hay-on-Wye. Folks rave about the spotless washrooms and showers. Owner James gets lots of praise for his super friendly, helpful welcome. Level, roomy sites and a peaceful vibe, though some note occasional road noise. Highly recommended for exploring!

Power optional grass tent campsite (four person)

Liked We stayed at Black Mountain View for 3 nights in August 2026 and loved every second. Our pitch was a fantastic size, the facilities were some of the best and cleanest we have experienced and James who runs it was lovely and so helpful. There was plenty of space for the kids to play and the dog to run around (its very dog friendly) and the location was perfect for so many wonderful places. We easily travelled from there to Hay and Langorse, and there are plenty of walks you can take directly from the park. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back!

Liked The beautiful location, the fantastic hosts (James and Nerys), the lovely clean showers and toilet facilities, the level pitches and the really easy access to the sight from decent roads that i did not have to breath in everytime a vehicle came in the oposite direction.

Power optional grass tent or trailer tent campsite (large)

Liked Great location, fantastic views!
Wonderful hosts, James spent a good few minutes explaining everything and even showing us a walking route into Hay on Wye, along with checking in now and again throughout our stay to make sure everything was ok - lovely people and so hospitable.
The pitch was generously sized and we had no problem getting set up.
The overall site is immaculate, with great care taken to keep high standards, whether that's from the beautiful plants and flowers or simply keeping the shower block clean and tidy - it's wonderful, quiet and relaxing.
We'll definitely be back!

Disliked Nothing!

Liked James met us on arrival and showed us to our pitch. Then gave us tour of the washing/showering facilities etc and pointed out the footpaths on the map towards Hay on Wye. Quiet site, not too busy. Toilets and showers very clean.

Disliked Nothing really. Some traffic noise.

Local attractions

Head to Hay for books, books and more books, and pub lunches/dinners in sunny beer gardens or indoors by roaring fires. The famed Hay Festival runs for 10 days each late May/early June; also in the area, check out the Brecon Jazz Festival at Brecon (20 minutes' drive) in August and Royal Welsh Show at Builth Wells (25 minutes) in July, the biggest agricultural show in the world. Heading outdoors, the Black Mountains, Wye Valley and Brecon Beacons National Park are beacons for those who like tramping around the outdoors: there are way too many activities and options to list here, but popular options include cycling, pony trekking, golfing, climbing, canoeing, potholing, whitewater rafting, fishing... Over the border, Herefordshire and the Golden Valley, in the lee of the Black Mountains, also have quite the pile going on, and amid similarly splendid scenery too. Visit Arthur's Stone (20 minutes) if you'd like to see what a neolithic burial chamber looks like after 5,000 or so years (pretty well preserved is the answer), or head on to Hereford (half an hour) for museums, the cathedral and tasty foodie/drinkie pickings.
