  • 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.

Nicola H.

Powered grass campsite

Liked Newly furbished, clean showers and toilets. Attractive site with tubs of flowers / herbs plus spacious pot washing and recycling facilities. We were lucky enough to be allocated a very large, private pitch for our motorhome which was perfect as we had our three collies with us.

Disliked Just a brief note for large dog owners - the footpath to Hay on Wye passes through two stiles, these didn't have dog gates so needed to lift the dogs over. Not the site's fault, just something to be aware of!

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.
