Take a look on the map and you’ll see green all around the location of Vyrnwy Wild Welsh Camping – and that goes for the pics as well. All of this gives you a good hint as to the very rural setting of this pop-up site in the Powys countryside… It’s a hugely peaceful and secluded spot here, on an 11-acre family farm that’s well away from any roads (please be aware that access is via a farm track so it’s not suitable for low cars). There are some gorgeous views out over the valley from the pitches, with trees all around too to give the place a very quiet and remote feel. As a pop-up site everything has been set up here to have minimal impact on the land – guests have access to portable toilets, fresh water and a communal seating area with firepit/barbecue, but there are no showers and you’ll be asked to take rubbish away with you when you head out. And where will you be headed when you leave the site? Well, this is prime hiking and cycling territory, so you may be looking to take a trip to Lake Vyrnwy, find walking trails in the surrounding valleys or venture a little further into the eastern stretches of Snowdonia National Park around Lake Bala. Being in such a rural spot, you may be fooled into thinking that amenities will be hard to come by – but that’s not the case at all, as the village of Llanfyllin is a little less than 10 minutes’ drive away for a convenience store, a café, a restaurant and a great local chip shop.

Local attractions

Walking boots at the ready – there are plenty of places to get out for a good long hike around here. Dyfnant Forest (20 minutes’ drive) is a good place to aim for if you’d like to trek through coniferous woodland, and there are some fabulous waterside lake trails at Lake Vyrnwy (15 minutes), along with opportunities for various watersports, fishing, abseiling and other outdoor activities. A little further west is the border of Snowdonia National Park (about half an hour) – come over here for great walking trails around Dolgellau (45 minutes), watersports at Lake Bala (40 minutes), mountain biking at Coed y Brenin Forest Park (55 minutes) or a beach day in Barmouth (an hour). For a rest from all the activity, take a ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (25 minutes), wander around Powis Castle and Garden (half an hour) or admire the outdoor artworks at the British Ironwork Centre (half an hour).

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked This was exactly what we had in mind for wild welsh camping! Run by a lovely little family who came up to greet us after arriving. We had a beautiful quiet spot for the night, the site is well kept and beautiful surroundings for walks ect. If you want a quiet spot in the welsh wilderness, this is the one!!! Will definitely be returning!

From the manager: Thankyou very much for your lovely review. We look forward to seeing you both and your dog next time. Thankyou
