  • Family-friendly site 15 minutes' drive from Builth Wells
  • Elan Valley and Brecon Beacons within a half-hour drive
  • On the banks of the River Irfon for fishing and wild swimming
There are many things that draw people to seek out riverside spots for their hols – you may fancy a bit of fishing, or perhaps you’ve got an eye on the scenic picnic potential, or maybe you secretly (or not so secretly) just yearn to get in for a wild swim… Whichever of the above you’ve got in mind matters not, for they’re all covered at Powys site Riverside Caravan and Camping Park, in little Llangammarch Wells and 15 minutes’ drive from the ancient market town of Builth Wells. As the name intimates, this four-acre park is indeed on the riverside – the banks of the Irfon river, to be more specific. Fishing is allowed on site for those clutching the correct permit, and there’s direct access to the water for those who want to cool their feet with a tentative paddle or take the plunge for a full-on swim. There’s plenty of space for open-air eats too, either a picnic or a cookout at the barbecue area; covered gazebos have also been set up just in case the weather isn’t amenable (and they’re also piled high with handy things like games of giant Jenga, footballs, hula hoops and an electricity supply for recharging your gadgets). Time out in the open air might include watching over the kids at the playground, taking the dog for a walk along the riverbank from the village or around one of the other excellent dog-walking spots locally (there’s a washing machine on site to deal with any muddy pawprints they leave you with) or ambling over to the local pub, 10 minutes’ stroll away. Being in a dark sky area, there's often also some fab stargazing to be had by night.

A beautiful, peaceful campsite by a river. Guests love the cleanliness, helpful owners & spacious pitches. Immaculate facilities. Great for a quiet escape, but a few mention no local shops nearby. Highly recommended!

Liked Absolutely loved our camping weekend at Riverside Caravan and Camping Park. From arrival Rhiannon was amazing and so helpful nothing was to much to ask.

The campsite had football nets and other little games for children to play. It was lovely and spacious for each pitch leaving plenty of room. There is also a gorgeous little stream if we had anymore room in our car we would 100% bring our paddleboard back.

There are horses and sheep right outside with some lovely walks close by. We also forgot to bring wood for our campfire but the park do some firepit bundles so we bought some wood, firelighters, marshmallows and sticks.

The showers/toilets were always clean and never busy. I also loved that the wash area provided sponges and washing up liquid for people like me who forget those small essentials!

If you are into birds of pray or stargazing you will love it here, we saw so many Red Kites flying above the campsite and the stars at night were unbelievable. I have never saw a shooting star until this weekend and there were plenty it was amazing to see.

We spoke to quite a few people on the park and some of the regulars with seasonal pitches and every single person was lovely. I honestly understand why people go back year on year, if it was more local to me I would be there every weekend.

We will 100% be back!

Thank you so much for an amazing weekend to Rhiannon and the team!

Great communal space with games to play

Disliked The only even slight negative was the freezer situation. It could have done with being bigger to accommodate everyone. We had to compete with people using it to keep their ice creams, and other food stuff, even potatoes. We only want to use it for our ice blocks.
Either a freezer policy so it can only be used for ice blocks for campers, or a larger freezer would solve this (again, this is a really minor negative).

Powered gravel caravan site

Liked The entire site felt exceptionally clean, thoughtfully organised, and easy to navigate. Every area—from the pitches to the communal facilities—was clearly cared for.

The staff were lovely too; helpful and friendly.The river running alongside the site is absolutely beautiful. It adds a peaceful, natural backdrop to the whole stay, and it’s perfect for quiet walks, sitting with a morning coffee, or just taking a moment to breathe in the scenery.

Other campers were friendly, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere throughout the site.

The facilities were excellent, modern, spotless, and clearly maintained with real care. Everything worked as it should, and nothing felt tired or neglected.

Overall, it was a wonderfully relaxing experience, and we will definitely be returning.

Local attractions

This part of the world has many enticing options for folk who like a good walk or bike ride on their hols: as well as local riverside paths, you might also like to consider setting off for the Elan Valley (half an hour’s drive) to ramble by lakes and waterfalls, or aim south to the trails of the Brecon Beacons National Park. For other outdoorsy days, there’s a fine golf course in Builth Wells (15 minutes) and the chance to see big birds take flight at the Red Kite Feeding Station in Rhyader (half an hour). The Brecon Mountain Railway (an hour) is a great choice for those who’d like to see the scenery at slow pace, and the Dolaucothi Roman gold mines likewise for folk intrigued by what lies beneath their feet. There’s a lot going on throughout the year in this area too – time your trip cleverly to tie in with the Hay-on-Wye Book Festival (45 minutes), the parades of fine beasts at the Royal Welsh Show (20 minutes) or the famed World Bog Snorkelling Championships (10 minutes).
