  • Eco-friendly pop-up site in the Brecon Beacons National Park
  • An easy 10-minute walk from Crickhowell; Raglan 25 minutes' drive
  • Lovely mountain views; access to canalside walks and bike rides
A Powys pop-up site where you can park the car and then spend your days exploring on foot? That’s the deal at Camp Crick, in the gorgeous Usk Valley 10 minutes’ stroll from the pretty and historic market town of Crickhowell. The views from here are fine indeed – the site looks out at the Sugar Loaf and Table Mountain, with Llangattock Mountain behind. The Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal runs past the fields too, for easy access to miles of safe cycling and walking along the towpath. For more walking options there are plenty of trails that lead off up into the mountains (see if you can find the very rare floating bog below the escarpment on Llangattock Mountain…) The car’s unlikely to see much action at all around here, in fact – that proximity to town means that you can easily walk to Crickhowell’s independent shops, cafés and pubs (and in fact there are a couple of pubs offering great food even closer in the village of Llangattock). Naturally, the team here have an interest in preserving this pretty part of the world, so they’ve set the site up as an eco-friendly off-grid place to stay. Generously sized pitches are tucked away within the hedges and well spaced so you’ll have plenty of room to soak up the surrounds and look out for the wildlife (resident tawny owls and buzzards are often seen, along with a wide range of songbirds). Facilities include compost loos (with biodegradable loo roll provided), cold showers and washing-up stations using spring water (you’ll need to boil it before drinking). There’s no parking by pitches (in order to preserve the peace and the wild flowers), but trailers and wheelbarrows are provided to haul your kit.

What customers say

Spacious, private pitches with fire pits in beautiful surroundings and great views. Owners are friendly and helpful, creating a relaxed vibe. Eco-friendly approach, including compost toilets and cold showers, is a hit. Easy walk to Crickhowell. Most love the back-to-basics feel, though some noted cold showers and management hiccups.

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked I liked the pitches were secluded in the bushes, very private and spread out.
Very nice chilled spot.

Disliked Only a little niggle but not being able to unload from your car. But the massive wheelbarrows were great!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Location was absolutely perfect, close to local pubs and wonderful hikes. Each pitch has a private fire pit. People who run it are helpful and lovely. Relaxed atmosphere, our group of adults could stay up late playing music at a reasonable level and chatting and it was no problem. Good toilets and shower. Appreciate the diligent recycling facilities. Might be the best campsite I’ve ever stayed in!

Disliked Nothing!

Unpowered grass tent site

Liked Great location near Crickhowell and Llangattock and the pitches were generourly spaced out to give a bit of privacy to each camp. Also love that cars were kept to the carpark only.

Disliked Nothing, though the cold showers may be less enjoyable in the fringe seasons, but in July/August they were a dream.
