  • Hosted eco-friendly site surrounded by spectacular Powys countryside
  • Eco buildings surrounded by a wildflower camping meadow
  • Straw-bale kitchen, wooden play area, toilets and showers
A rural retreat awaits at the peaceful Powys base of Sychpwll Centre, a walker's paradise in the Welsh countryside, two miles from the village of Llandrinio. The centre houses a range of eco-friendly buildings, surrounded by a wildflower camping meadow. As the site backs onto the River Vyrnwy, both it and the surrounding countryside are an excellent base for guests who want to have an environmentally-friendly stay among spectacular scenery. Guests are welcome to use the centre's straw-bale kitchen for indoor cooking; outdoors, both barbecues and campfires are allowed. Several country pubs with good food and drink are close by, and guests will be within 30 minutes' drive of the market towns of Shrewsbury, Welshpool and Oswestry. The site also has a toilet block with instant warm water and showers.

What customers say

A beautiful, peaceful, and unique campsite with roomy, well-arranged spots. Guests rave about the spotless, quality facilities, especially the shared kitchen. Friendly, helpful owners create a relaxed vibe. Kids love the playground and exploring nature, like the river. Despite minor notes on occasional busyness and shared facilities, most want to return.

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (wild)

Liked Love this place. Such a beautiful site, wild flowers and long grass inbetween pitches. Peace and quiet all around with just bird song for company. Great communal kitchen with fridge and freezer.

Disliked Prefer single sex or single toilets but this has not stopped us visiting.

Liked Lovey, spacious site in quiet setting. Friendly, helpful owners. Facilities clean but can imagine queues for toilets/showers during very busy periods.
Great indoor 'kitchen' area with plenty of space for groups and families to eat but limited sinks for washing up.

Liked Choice of fields to pitch up in, the one we went for was mowed in a way that each pitch is mowed but the rest left longer which is really nice. Lovely clean facilities, hot showers, nice kitchen area. Really loved this site!

Primitive grass tent or RV campsite (wild)

Liked We love this place! We stayed for 1 night in 2023 as a stop over to break up a long journey but had it saved as somewhere we needed to get back to. Very peaceful, nice views, friendly owners. We did the walk up Rodney’s pillar which you can see from the campsite and that was fab, would recommend.
Clean proper flushing toilets and warm showers.
Kitchen area with lots of bits to use (hob, kettle, all utensils) we only used it for washing up but I imagine it’ll be handy for those who need the extra facilities.

Disliked Not necessarily a dislike but a heads up if people have dogs/kids who are reactive to the sound of helicopters as there’s lots going back and forth the bases nearby

Local attractions

Based a mile from where the unpolluted River Vrynwy meets the River Severn, Sychpwll is cosy in winter and normally with a good climate in summer. There’s more than enough to do to keep everyone happy all year round, with those coming for walking or cycling holidays particularly having lots of choice. The hiking in this area gives world-class views, such as the famous Offa’s Dyke Path or one of the three routes to the landmark Rodney’s Pillar. Visitors can also visit local farmers’ markets or nearby Lake Vrynwy, or try their hand at one of the many activities nearby, including climbing, fishing, horse riding and watersports. Or, for those who like to hit a ball as hard as possible, tennis is available in town and there’s a golf course within half an hour’s drive. The market towns of Shrewsbury, Welshpool and Oswestry are around seven miles miles away for shopping, and there are plenty of days out at local attractions such as historic Powys Castle and the Welshpool to Llanfair Light Steam Railway. Culture vultures can go slightly further afield to Ludlow and Shrewsbury (around 13 miles away), for festivals, arts events and nights on the town.
