Our set up next to our friends set up electric hook up

Peaceful family-run Mid Wales site in the grounds of a watermill
A 10-minute walk to a vineyard; a 25-minute drive to the Stiperstones
Accessible family shower room; farm-run ice cream station next door

From acting like a wine aficionado on the local vineyard to hiking around the historic sites on the Stiperstones… Millers Rest Campsite will get you recharging your batteries in no time. This place is a family-run site in Powys, on the grounds of the 17th-century Bacheldre Watermill and 10 minutes’ drive away from the Shropshire Hills. That means that sublime scenery’s a given, including mature trees, farmlands and streams surrounding the site. It’s really quite remote… all the more privacy and peace for your lot. Despite all this, there’s no need to give up your creature comforts. The site has free showers including an accessible shower room (suited to larger families) and a heated toilet block. There’s also a dishwashing area and waste disposal area to ensure that you keep your grassy pitches nice and tidy, primed for more relaxation. As for tracking down some tasty eats, well, there’s a homemade ice cream station next door to the site, where the flavours are made from dairy fresh from their farm. Thankfully, there's no shortages of pubs in the surrounding area either, with popular spots in Bishop’s Castle (15 minutes’ drive, and a good place for indie shops and cafés too) and several more pubs within 10 minutes’ drive of the site. Closer by, there’s a hotel bar serving food (five minutes’ drive) and Churchstoke (under five minutes’ drive) has a food shop, petrol station, launderette and café for more snacks, afternoon teas and the like.

Powered grass site

Liked: It was peaceful

Disliked: We had the site to ourselves but did not receive a welcome email or even a welcome - no one around when we got there or during our stay, we had to call the owner who was away! Was told to choose a pitch and park wherever - no water for washing up as one sink not working and the other dismantled

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Apologies for not being around when you arrived, we had a water leak on one of dishwashing sinks so my husband was at the building merchant purchasing supplies.

Showers and toilets were fine. Small campsite.…

Liked: Showers and toilets were fine. Small campsite.

Disliked: The bins were overflowing. The diary farm appeared to be over the road, however there was a lane/entrance behind the site and I can only associate that with the cow poop smell and associated midges.

Liked: The peaceful location, the cleanliness of the facilities, the helpfulness of Matt the owner, and the fact that the working mill had a visit from the King and Queen who also loved their mill and flour, added a bit of kudos to my pub stories in the future... hobnobbing with royalty :)

Disliked: Nothing. It was great

Local attractions

While pubs are certainly one place to put back a few local ales, those of you who are a bigger fan of a glass of red or white will want to pay a visit to Kerry Vale Vineyard (10 minutes’ walk) to sample their flavours. There’s a brewery in Montgomery (10 minutes’ drive) for another drinks-themed outing or perhaps a tour of the town's castle, independent shops, cafés or visitor centre. What’s the cocktail in Welshpool (20 minutes)? Well, it might be the heritage railway, modern art or the canal works. Meanwhile, at Carding Mill Valley and the Long Mynd (35 minutes), you’ll stumble upon a tasty mix of moorland walks, mountain biking trails and a stream through the valley, all owned by the National Trust. Like to hone in on some historic sites while you’re on your holidays too? Well, there’s Clun Castle (25 minutes) not too far away and a Bronze Age stone circle at Mitchell's Fold Stone Circle (15 minutes). More historic sites litter the way around the five and a half-mile hilly hike around the Stiperstones (25 minutes).
