  • Well-maintained family-run park on the Tanat river
  • Kayaking, sailing, windsurfing and huge mountain bike park nearby
  • Fishing for trout and grayling right from the site
For a quiet rural hol on the banks of the River Tanat, pick yourself a pitch at Parc Farm Caravan Park, five minutes' stroll from Penybontfawr village on the road from Llanfyllin to Bala. You'll be close to heaps of active options around here, such as kayaking, windsurfing, boating, horse riding, abseiling, archery and game shooting at Lake Vyrnwy, and there's a huge mountain biking park three miles from base. This is a wonderfully well-maintained park in the Tanat Valley, with the river of the same name meandering right through the site and giving anglers the chance to haul themselves a few fine specimens of grayling or – if they're wily enough – trout to fry up on their evening barbecues. The play area and small football pitch over the river are splendid spots for a bit of running about well away from the accommodation area, which means that if you're a grownup indulging in a spot of R&R around your tourer, you're really not very likely to be disturbed by flying footballs or the like. A fine local pub and a shop for general groceries, newspapers and your morning milk can be found in the village of Penybontfawr, an easy five-minute stroll away. Nearby Llanfyllin and Llanrhaeadr both have a butchers shop, a chemist, cash machines and a couple of mini markets, so you've got most essentials sorted within very easy reach. You can also grab some grub at the pubs, hotels and restaurants around the area, many of which are kid- and dog-friendly.

Powered grass caravan site

Liked Idyllic, peaceful campsite with beautiful views. A small amount of touring pitches by the riverside which made it even more relaxing. Although we didn't have children with us, it was lovely to see a few gaving the freedom to play all day in the safe surroundings. I know my (now adult) children would have loved this place when they were younger. Beautifully kept gardens, spotless facilities. Just perfect for a get away from it all break. I didn't want to come home. Thank you

Liked Arrived and was shown to our pitch, we were told where everything was and pitched up. The site is so clean and tidy - didn't use the shower as we are self sufficient. Toilet blocks were clean and well stocked. The river was great for all activities, there were children playing in the river as well as dogs, my husband went early morning to fish. The site is nice and quite too. Owners more than helpful. A pub and a shop was a 7 minute walk away - can recommend the pub for food ! Absolute amazing views, a perfect place to relax and chill

Disliked Having to come home :-(

Liked Gorgeous site, loved seeing the sheep frolicking around! Easy arrival, friendly staff. Plenty of space right by the riverside. Facilities were clean.

Disliked No hot water in the women’s shower - had to use the men’s!

From the manager: Hi, thanks so much for taking time to write a review. Really glad you liked the site, we do our best to make sure everyone feels welcome here. Sorry to hear you had some trouble with the shower. There is an isolation switch on the outside of it with a sign next to it, we ask people to switch it on/off after using it so I'm wondering if it may have been off when you tried the shower and perhaps didn't realise about the switch? Anyway, glad to hear it didn't spoil your visit and if you do return then we'll be happy to show you how it works!

Every thing was okay clean toilets…

Liked Relaxing no fuss site exactly what we look for to get away for the weekend.
Will definitely revisit to recharge for a night away as the setting is ideal.

Disliked Not really a dislike, but we wouldn't chose to stay longer unless we were travelling with others who could provide us transport to explore the wider area.

Local attractions

If fishing's your thing, you'll be particularly pleased to learn that you can fly fish for trout and grayling right from the park into the River Tanat which, handily, winds its way through the property. Parc Farm is also in a splendid spot for hill walking, gentle ambling, cycling, mountain biking, birdwatching, golfing or wandering around the area's bounty of historic sites – just ask your genial hosts for their recommendations, one of which will surely be Pistyll Rhaeadr – Britain's tallest single-drop waterfall and a rather dreamy departure point for yet more walking and cycling trails through the foothills of the Berwyn Mountains. Mountain bikers can head over to the bike track around three miles away, where rapid red, rocky black and steep pro trails network 120 acres of private woodland. For even more active days out, take your togs along to Lake Vyrnwy, around 20 minutes' drive away, for canoeing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing. Next to the lake, the pumphouse, sculpture trail, dam and museum take visitors on a pleasant culture trip, while the series of trails that network the Dyfnant Forest also provide plenty of options for land-based activities; horseback hacks, carriage drives, long walks and leisurely bike rides are all popular in these parts, and abseiling and archery are available too. If you fancy trying your hand at clay and game shooting among a ginormous 24,000-acre estate, head over to the lake's local hotel. Walk or take a narrowboat trip over the UNESCO-listed Pontcysyllte Aqueduct – Britain's longest and highest aqueduct – or take a trip on Welshpool's narrow gauge heritage railway for 50-minute rides westwards to Llanfair Caereinion via Castle Caereinion.
