What customers say

Boatside is a tranquil riverside spot with roomy, flat pitches and lovely views. Guests rave about the super friendly, helpful owners, spotless facilities, and handy honesty shop. It's well-kept and perfect for exploring the countryside. A few felt there could be more showers.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely site and location, Adam was very friendly and helpful in giving us some info on the local area. We visited Elan Valley which was less than 30 mins away and this site was a great base for exploring mid Wales.

Disliked Shower/toilet facilities were maybe in need of updating but they served their purpose!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed the site, the location, and found it a great base for exploring Mid Wales. Elan Valley is always a favourite. We also appreciate your comments on the facilities and will keep them in mind as we continue making improvements. We’d love to welcome you back again.

Excellent site with friendly owners and level pitches.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked This is a great site. It was busy when we arrived but didn't feel crowed as all the pitches are well spaced out. The shower/toilet block was small but the owner has plans to extend them over the winter ready for next year.
It is a great location for exploring the local area where there are lots of shops and pubs to visit. We loved being so close to the river as well.
Highly recommend this site!

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Lovely location in-between hills and close to the river, with great views. There is a community owned pub 25 min walk away from the campsite which is lovely, providing breakfast, lunch and dinner options. The shower and toilets were nice and clean. The honesty shop has a good selection of items including the key things you might forget like, camping gas, tent pegs etc.

Non-electric grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The site was very well kept and had stunning views and Adam was lovely he went above and.beyond the 2nd day to make up for no firepit being available on the first night. This was my first time camping with the dog a d she moved it.

Disliked Not the sites fault at all but kept awake by Inconsiderate guests in a nearby tent in neighbouring field on the first night playing loud music then having a massive barny at 3am in the morning but Adam did ensure they were kicked off very promptly the next morning. And we had a much better 2nd night. Would of liked to know where access to walking routes were also as didn't want to go down the road that runs along side of the field with a dog as quite a busy road also a little noise at.night from the road

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: We’re sorry your first night was disturbed by inconsiderate guests, but glad this was resolved quickly so the rest of your stay was more peaceful. Thank you also for your helpful feedback about clearer information on walking routes, we’ll look at ways to improve this for future guests. We’d love to welcome you back again soon.

Good site and I hope to return soon.

Liked Fantastic campsite, great amenities at the site if you want to wash up, make a hot drink or purchase any general food items. Toilets were really clean, cleaner than most restaurants I’ve seen! We had a lovely quiet spot, Adam the owner was super friendly and approachable, it was lovely that he came over to chat after we had pitched up, you can tell he’s really into making sure people are happy which is just lovely

Non-electric grass touring pitch

Liked Great site, great location. Facilities were ideal, didn't have to wait to use any of them. The river is wonderful, plenty fishing. I took my old fly rod and gave it a go, no catches but very tranquil time. Very clean around the site. I stayed on the non electric grass area, lovely field.

Local attractions

Beers, burgers and other tasty dishes are all well and good, but Builth Wells (10 minutes’ drive) has more than just places to eat. There’s classic entertainment here in the form of a cinema, swimming pool and shops. The Royal Welsh Showground is on the outskirts (10 minutes) for events and festivals throughout the year, as is a golf course whenever you fancy a round. Got a pair of shoes that need breaking in? Pen y Fan (50 minutes) will soon have you hiking, although it’s not a simple feat, as it’s the highest mountain in Wales. Watersports are easy to find around the Brecon Beacons too, as Llangorse Lake (half an hour) has plenty to try out, plus boat hire and fishing. Hay-on-Wye (half an hour) might make a good choice for those of you with a mix of interests. As well as bookshops and galleries, there’s a castle plus paddleboarding and other watersports on the River Wye. Fancy going off for a pedal instead? The National Cycle Route 42 (10 minutes) runs through Hay-on-Wye.
