  • Peaceful Powys site on a remote family-run sheep farm
  • A 25-minute drive to Welshpool; Gregynog Hall 20 minutes
  • Playground and dog run on site; guests can join in with farm tasks
If your main requirement for a place to stay in Powys is a peaceful spot with lovely green scenery all around, Carmel Caravan Park could well be the place for you. This place is rural and remote, with rather wonderful views of the hills all around – just the spot for a proper countryside chill-out. There’s a pub about five minutes’ drive away in the village of Cefn Coch, but that’s about it for local facilities; for shops, places to eat and other urban amenities you’ll need to head to Welshpool, about 25 minutes away. There are plenty of practical facilities on site, though – including a launderette, washing-up areas and a guest fridge-freezer, plus a smart modern bathroom block with accessible facilities and underfloor heating to keep your toes warm. In such a thoroughly rural setting you’ll really be able to throw yourselves into farming life if you want to. This is a family-run site where the owners have been offering a warm welcome for more than 60 years – and these days that includes offering guests the chance to help out with the everyday running of the place through things like lamb feeding in spring. Even if you don’t choose to get stuck in, you’ll no doubt want to say hello to the farm’s friendly pet sheep; they’re amenable to being taken for a walk too. For other countryside pursuits, there’s coarse and fly fishing available on site, and plenty of places to get out for walks nearby. Back on site, there’s a playground for the kids and a secure dog run where four-legged guests can get the zoomies out of their system.

What customers say

Owners are super friendly and helpful. Site is spotless, with great grounds, spacious pitches and a fun play area. Kids love the farm animals, especially the lambs! It's remote, great for a digital detox, though Wi-Fi can be spotty and pricey. Access roads are a bit rough.

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked From start to finish, Sharon was so welcoming and helpful! The campsite had a lovely, homely feeling to it which we really loved. Sharon was present on site all day, whether that was helping families out with popped airbeds, cleaning the bathroom area or even taking someone’s dog for a walk while they had a shower. Sharon goes above and beyond for everyone who comes to visit and she truly makes the campsite what it is. The bathroom/ shower facilities were very clean and well looked after. The baby room was an amazing touch since it was our first time camping with a 3 month old. The baby bath and changing area came in handy for us and were perfect for getting baby changed somewhere warm and dry! The other children were more than happy to spend their time at the park or running around the campsite playing hide and seek or going for spooky walks around the grounds, and the dog enjoyed the fenced off dog field. Sharon and family have really thought of everything a camper would need to make the experience easy and comfortable, especially for us first time campers. We will definitely be returning next year, we have fallen in love with camping and Carmel (and Sharon)

Liked An amazing stay! Family orientated, lots of lovely walks around the local area, sparkling clean facilities, calm and quiet campsite - perfect for our family! It was safe for our kids to play and enjoy themselves while we relaxed and enjoyed the gorgeous scenery.

The host, Sharon, absolutely made our stay. She is so friendly, offering of tips and advice about days out as well as checking in on how our stay was going. Nothing was too much for her. She made us feel like we were at home. Thank you, Sharon!

Fully-serviced grass site

Liked Very well kept, clean and tidy, grass nice length.
Toilets and showers spotless
Great to have a washer and dryer if needed
Kids enjoyed the play area and dog enjoyed his secure area too.
Fishing too, kids fish for free. Adults only £6 per rod per day. Plenty of small lakes to choose from.
Sharon was very helpful and friendly and always working hard around the site. Great with the kids too.

Disliked Missing a little shop for essentials, eggs milk tinned things maybe some camping bits? as nearest shop is 20min drive away

Liked Gorgeous setting, super friendly staff. We saw Sharon everyday making us feel welcome and making sure the toilets were spotless. Great showers too

Disliked Only very specific to us but the park isn’t where the tent was, it is only a very very short walk away and up some steps it just meant that our kids couldn’t go by themselves. The bonus is there are two very cute donkeys, a Shetland pony and loads of sheep to look at when you’re there

Liked Very clean site all facilities kept spotless. Very spacious for the kids to run and have fun. The owners are very welcoming and friendly. They go above and beyond to help with anything they can. Staff regularly come around to make sure everything is ok and if there is anything they can help with. Kids loved the fishing pond and seeing the donkeys and pony. Would definitely be returning to this camp site. I can’t thank the owners enough and forever grateful for all their help

Local attractions

It’s all about the outdoor activities around here – ask the team on site for tips on places to get out for a walk nearby, or base your stroll around a landmark like Dolforwyn Castle (25 minutes’ drive) or Lake Vyrnwy (45 minutes). For two-wheeled adventures, try the off-road trails at Caersws Bike Park (25 minutes). Meanwhile, for gentler days out you could choose to take a ride on the Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway (15 minutes) or opt for a stroll through the gorgeous gardens at Gregynog Hall (20 minutes). Or, if you’d like a further fix of animal encounters, sign up to meet the big birds at Falconry Experience Wales (five minutes) or go for a woolly walk at Mid Wales Alpacas Trek and Experience (15 minutes). If you’re heading over to Welshpool (25 minutes), plan to spend some time at the National Trust’s Powis Castle and Garden while you’re there, or take a walk along the Montgomery Canal towpath.
