  • Family- and dog-friendly site on the outskirts of Hay-on-Wye
  • A 10-minute walk to Hay Festival site; half an hour to the town centre
  • Communal freezer; toilet and shower block and a washing-up area
Surrounded by the splendid countryside of Mid Wales, Hay-on-Wye Caravan Park is an excellent accommodation option – whether you’re into hiking or into the rather more sedentary activity of losing yourself into a good book. The family- and dog-friendly site is a mile and a half from Hay-on-Wye, the small town on the English border known for its concentration of independent and specialist bookshops. The town centre is a mere five-minute drive away, or you can walk it (along a country path) in about half an hour. What’s more, the park sits a 10-minute walk from the grounds of the famed Hay Festival of Literature and Arts, which takes place at the start of summer (late May–early June) and draws authors, artists and other creative characters to this corner of the world. That’s the bookworms sorted. What about the walkers? Well, there’s plenty of choice for them, too, with Brecon Beacons National Park within a five-minute drive. Explore the park’s hills, woodlands and waterfalls, keeping an eye out for wildlife such as water voles, badgers and bats. It’s worth lingering until nightfall, for the Brecon Beacons is a recognised International Dark Sky Reserve, so you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views of the Milky Way and assorted constellations. The proximity to the River Wye also means there’s plenty to do on the water, with several outfits renting out paddleboards and canoes, and arranging guided river trips or canyoning excursions. After all that activity, you might well be ravenous, so stop for a bite to eat in Hay-on-Wye, or purchase your provisions there before heading back to base and getting the barbecue started. There is a communal freezer on site, as well as a large washing-up area with a dishwasher. Other amenities include a shower and toilet block with an accessible/family-sized room.

What customers say

Great welcome, spotless facilities, and roomy, level pitches with country views. Hay-on-Wye's walkable, but stiles might be tricky for big dogs. New pot wash & drying room. Wi-Fi's decent. Occasional road noise, and pitches can be close in peak season.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Wonderful campsite, highly recommend! We were warmly welcomed when we arrived. We got our tent up and enjoyed sitting out taking in the surrounding views. Nice walk into Hay with our dog. Toilets, showers and washing up areas were spotlessly clean. Handy to have a drying room too. We had a really great time

Disliked Nothing at all!

Powered cement/asphalt and grass travel trailer campsite

Liked We absolutely loved the site and would definitely stay again. We have already recommended it to friends. Booking was straightforward, the location was easy to find and we had a warm welcome on arrival.

The site itself is very well maintained and the facilities are immaculate. Plenty of toilets and showers to cater for the pitches available. We stayed over the bank holiday and despite the site appearing fully booked we never had to queue for the bathroom or showers which we have experienced elsewhere. They remained pristine throughout our stay.

The wash up area was also top quality with plenty of sinks and wash basins and drainers provided. There was an optional (paid for) dishwasher. A chest freezer was also provided for ice block refreezing. The recycling facilities were well maintained.

Location wise, the site is very picturesque and surrounded by pretty views and plenty of walks. It's a short, very flat, manageable walk (approx 27 mins) into Hay on Wye which is a lovely town with plenty of things to do and places to eat and drink.

While we weren't particularly bothered, there was a rowdy family group ignoring the very clearly set out quiet time guidelines. The following morning the site warden was clearly aware and approached us and other campers to confirm what had happened. He also spoke to the family involved. We were impressed with his proactive and pragmatic approach.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Andrew
Thank you for taking the time to write a great review and we are pleased the rowdy family didn't disturb you too much. We try our best to deal with this kind of thing ASAP.
Best wishes

An excellent canoeing site, well worth visiting.

Local attractions

Spreading along the banks of the River Wye, The Weir Garden (half an hour’s drive) has shaded waterside paths dotted with benches for picnics. Birdlife abounds here – from finches to mallards and woodpeckers – and if you’re lucky you might spot an otter, too. There’s also a walled garden and a glasshouse. The 13th-century cathedral in Hereford (40 minutes) holds the Mappa Mundi, a medieval map of the world drawn on a calf’s skin and adorned with real and mythical beasts, plus dog-headed men and one-legged people. After getting to know these unusual characters, visit the Museum of Cider, with its huge presses, and stock up on this locally made drink. To learn a thing or two about Wales’s mining history, head to the Big Pit National Coal Museum (50 minutes), which occupies a former coal mine. Don a hard hat and join the underground tour, which takes in both the coal faces and the engine houses.
