  • Nearly-wild camping in the Wye Valley National Landscape
  • A 20-minute drive to Abaty Tyndyrn (Tintern Abbey); 15 to Symonds Yat
  • On an organic dairy farm with access to public footpaths
A limestone gorge, the river Wye and stunning destinations like the ruins of Abaty Tyndyrn (Tintern Abbey) – no wonder you’re looking at a break in the Wye Valley National Landscape. Well, launch your explorations at Troy Farm Camping… ‘Best of both worlds’ is a phrase that certainly applies at this site, where the nearly-wild pitches have stunning views on the edge of the Wye Valley and yet also stand 15 minutes’ walk away from the outskirts of Monmouth. In town, there are plenty of places to eat, drink or people-watch (or indeed, all three at the same time). If country walks are more your thing, Troy Farm Camping deserves another brownie point. It has easy access to three public footpaths heading to Penalt, Redbrook, Mitchel Troy and beyond. As for any of you who want to visit iconic Wye Valley destinations, the site is a 20-minute drive from Abaty Tyndyrn (Tintern Abbey) and 25 minutes from the Eagle's Nest lookout. About the site: the working dairy farm has 300 milking cows which you may well see grazing around the fields during your stay (that’s why it's kept dog-free). Vehicles must be left in the car park; the walk from the car park to the pitch’s ranges from around 55 to 200 metres, so you should bring a trolley if you think you'll need one. For quick trips out, a perfumery is opposite the site and there is a pottery studio a short drive away. Guided wild swimming sessions are available with a local company and can be arranged through the site.

What customers say

A peaceful, wild-camping vibe on a working farm with lovely views. Basic, clean facilities (compost toilets, water). Campfires/BBQs okay. Parking & pitch access can be tricky; some found the grass long. Fewer pitches now. Short walk to Monmouth.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Amazing wild, peaceful and quiet site within walking distance to town centre with buses stopping nearby. Water point is near the
Compost toilets, which were clean and well stocked. There are rocks for firepits but no kindling or wood sold on site.

Disliked Then steps to the compost toilets and the sink draining where youre standing.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Nice, wild-ish set up with lovely views around. Long grass and some stone structure between pitches allowed for more privacy than most farm campsites. Toilets, drinking water, and rubbish disposal available, what more do you need?

Disliked The steps leading up to the toilet are a bit scary!

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Lovely lo-fi campsite. Quiet and appreciated being able to have fire pits and being left alone.

Disliked I think it's slightly expensive considering the lack of facilities. A palette or something to stand on at the sink would be helpful as the ground gets very muddy.

Primitive grass and earth tent campsite

Liked Very affordable site with easy access to the stunning river Wye. It is a semi-wild camping site which is what I enjoy - I'd rather a few nettle stings than a boring mown pitch. The compost toilet was a brilliant example of why they're so good - clean and no smell.

Disliked Personally, I thought there were just a few too many pitches for the size of the field (which isn't huge, but is at least split in two via a hedge/wall). It was fine though, everyone was polite and noise wasn't an issue.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks so much for taking the time to give us feedback. We've taken this on board and actually reduced the number of pitches in the space for the 2026 season.
