  • Peaceful Powys site on a remote family-run sheep farm
  • A 25-minute drive to Welshpool; Gregynog Hall 20 minutes
  • Playground and dog run on site; guests can join in with farm tasks
If your main requirement for a place to stay in Powys is a peaceful spot with lovely green scenery all around, Carmel Caravan Park could well be the place for you. This place is rural and remote, with rather wonderful views of the hills all around – just the spot for a proper countryside chill-out. There’s a pub about five minutes’ drive away in the village of Cefn Coch, but that’s about it for local facilities; for shops, places to eat and other urban amenities you’ll need to head to Welshpool, about 25 minutes away. There are plenty of practical facilities on site, though – including a launderette, washing-up areas and a guest fridge-freezer, plus a smart modern bathroom block with accessible facilities and underfloor heating to keep your toes warm. In such a thoroughly rural setting you’ll really be able to throw yourselves into farming life if you want to. This is a family-run site where the owners have been offering a warm welcome for more than 60 years – and these days that includes offering guests the chance to help out with the everyday running of the place through things like lamb feeding in spring. Even if you don’t choose to get stuck in, you’ll no doubt want to say hello to the farm’s friendly pet sheep; they’re amenable to being taken for a walk too. For other countryside pursuits, there’s coarse and fly fishing available on site, and plenty of places to get out for walks nearby. Back on site, there’s a playground for the kids and a secure dog run where four-legged guests can get the zoomies out of their system.

What customers say

Brilliant Welsh site! Immaculately clean with top-notch facilities and super staff. Beautiful views, peaceful vibe, and great pitches. Kids love the play area and baby lambs. Access roads can be windy, and phone signal is iffy, but Wi-Fi's there if you need it. Highly recommended for a proper chill holiday.

Ieva A.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Spacious pitch in a quiet area—at night, we could hear nothing but the sheep, which didn’t bother us at all. The toilets were very clean and never busy. A water tap was conveniently available next to the pitch. We forgot the pump for our air tent, but the owners came to help immediately and brought their pump. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely return in the future

Disliked Wi‑Fi is available for an additional fee, £3 per device per day, which is rather expensive.

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Absolutely amazing site! Very clean plenty of space and the peace and quiet was bliss!

Toilet and shower facilities where kept immaculate and the fresh smell when walking in was so refreshing, the tent pitches where very spacious most tent plots had water just behind them with the electric hookup points.

The park was a hit with our children who enjoyed plenty of time there with lots for them to do, the hill embankment behind the tent pitches was also another hit being able to watch the sunset over the fields and see the sheep in the field next to us.

Park owers/workers where very friendly and welcoming and we would definitely return to this site. We stayed 3 nights for just a short break to reset before the school/work rush again in september and it was just what we needed!

Option of WiFi when arriving for a small charge but we wasn't bothered about having our phones as we came to get away from everything for a few days.

Disliked Already new this before booking as we do research on the area, there isn't much around the site in terms of days out/towns closest town was 30 min drive but as I said we new this already and chose this site for a quiet chilled no rush few days away

Liked We had a great stay lovely campsite clean and good facilities

Disliked Didn't make sense the WiFi I think it should be included in the price for the stay and I think they should be rules about the noise it was very noisy with some campers or the music was so loud , I think you should have a warden from time to time and checking the noise level

Fully-serviced grass pitch

Liked Staff were nice and attentive. Toilet/showers were lovely and you could tell it was cleaned regularly.
Any noise and they came down to sort it but we didn't really mind the noise at all. We enjoyed it so much we booked another night and extended our stay! Park was great for the kids too.

Disliked This is mentioned so it's not so much a dislike, but it's around half an hour to nip to the shop. Making it 1.10hr round trip. Not the sites fault and would not put me off going back at all. I didnt buy the WiFi but the couple next to us said it was poor.
We personally didn't go camping to use WiFi so it didn't matter to us.

Liked Playground was good for kids.
Site was very tidy.
Clean showers & toilets.

Disliked Bit of a frosty welcome. Didnt really explain where anything was.
Wifi that we paid for didnt work.
Felt more of a static caravan park rather than for tourers.
Where are the sheep? No mention from the owner about sheep farming or being able to help out as it suggested.
Felt a bit trapped in a tiny touring field.

Local attractions

It’s all about the outdoor activities around here – ask the team on site for tips on places to get out for a walk nearby, or base your stroll around a landmark like Dolforwyn Castle (25 minutes’ drive) or Lake Vyrnwy (45 minutes). For two-wheeled adventures, try the off-road trails at Caersws Bike Park (25 minutes). Meanwhile, for gentler days out you could choose to take a ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (15 minutes) or opt for a stroll through the gorgeous gardens at Gregynog Hall (20 minutes). Or, if you’d like a further fix of animal encounters, sign up to meet the big birds at Falconry Experience Wales (five minutes) or go for a woolly walk at Mid Wales Alpacas Trek and Experience (15 minutes). If you’re heading over to Welshpool (25 minutes), plan to spend some time at the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden while you’re there, or take a walk along the Montgomery Canal towpath.
