What customers say
Sparklingly clean park with friendly staff & generous pitches. Great for walks/cycles by the River Severn & canal. Minor A483 traffic noise reported but didn't spoil great stays. Impeccably clean facilities, especially showers. Many keen to return.

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review.
The new Stores and Coffee House opened today (20th July) in the village and is gorgeous!
Spotless with flat pitches and great amenities.
Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked The flat fully serviced pitches were close to amenities and I loved the small touches like the curtains around the sink and plenty of hooks. It was quiet but it might be livelier now that the school holidays have started.
The mop for campers to use kept everything clean too. Everything was spotless and neat. Booking in and finding the pitch was easy as there was some information to help you get around the site. The information had tips on where to eat etc too. I’ll definitely be back.
Disliked Nothing.

Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
Liked Extremely well presented and run park with very clean facilities. Right next to the river Severn if you fancy cooling off, and 5mins walk from the Abermule Inn which does excellent food. Loads of walks nearby. We used the canal towpath to cycle into Newtown traffic free, although some parts need cutting back as they are narrow. Don't be put off by the sound of traffic from the A483, it does not intrude enough to spoil your stay. If you are a light sleeper the few vehicles at night are easily filtered out by earplugs. There is also a nice play area for the children away from the pitches, so you won't have stray balls whacking your van. Guests and staff alike are very friendly here. Phone signal on EE is strong enough to stream. Didn't try park wifi. Tv signal not great,and although the pitches have their own antenna cable, we couldn't get ours to work. Majority of pitches have an open view of the southern sky for satellite users.
Disliked There wasn't anything that would prevent us returning.

Anonymous Fully-serviced concrete and grass caravan site
