  • 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 well-kept site offers amazing views of the Black Mountains and a handy, scenic walk to Hay-on-Wye. Guests rave about the spotless facilities, especially the showers and restrooms, and the super friendly owner, James. Pitches are large and level, and the peaceful vibe is a consistent plus. Some note distant road noise, but most can't wait to come back.

 Julie C. 5 reviews

Powered cement/asphalt travel trailer campsite

Liked Location was good easy to find just off a main road
facilities were very clean
flat pitches helpful staff
lovely walks from the site

Disliked i paid for two hardstanding pitches we had one hardstanding and one grass our friends pitch was right next to a big metal shed it was a very basic campsite
only two toilets and two showers in the ladies
No reception just a mobile phone number

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi, thanks for your kind remarks.
When the customer booked it was for 2 hardstanding pitches and the special request was.
"I'm booking two pitches can they be together please".

Because the booking was just for the Saturday night of the August bank holiday I messaged and contacted the customer saying it would be difficult to get you together on the Saturday of August bank holiday but I said I could get you together if the smaller van went on grass. The customer said this was ok.

I always try to do the special requests to make the customer's stay more enjoyable.

I would never put a customer on a grass pitch when a hard standing pitch was booked without asking the customer first.
We are just a small quiet family campsite and there is a reception sign when you pull into the campsite pointing to our house.
Regards James.

Liked We had 2 dogs and really liked the exercise area. We enjoyed the small size of campsite and the lovely 30 min walk into Hay each day. Facilities were clean and up to date. Easy recycling points. It wasn’t very full so it was nice and quiet

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.
