  • Family-run site on an organic smallholding in the Wye valley
  • A mile and a half from Hay-on-Wye
  • Modern amenities block with disabled facilities and family room
Books + Black Mountains + Welsh walks + Wye fishing = happy sigh. And all are around Black Mountain View Caravan Park in Powys: it's a mere mile and a half from Hay-on-Wye, in the Wye Valley, a short walk from Offa's Dyke Path – you'll probably figure out that mountain views are on offer here too…? Run by James and his family team (described as 'friendly', 'attentive', 'helpful' and even 'delightful' by previous guests), Black Mountain View is a small, relaxed and simple holiday park on an organic smallholding on the Powys/Herefordshire border. Comings and goings are a cinch, thanks to excellent access from the main road (no worries about road noise though – even A roads are pretty quiet in this part of the world). Pony treks, canoe paddles, golf days and bike-based outings are all good outdoorsy options in the surrounds, as are the many walks on offer. If you don't fancy tackling the entire Offa's Dyke Path (177 miles… not for the faint-legged) perhaps the 40-minute riverside section that takes you into Hay-on-Wye is a more palatable idea, still with those cracking mountain views. Fond of fishing? Bring your kit and licence to scout about for barbel, chub and dace in the Wye waters just next to the site. James and family have had many a touring holiday themselves, so know that good clean facilities are at the top of most campers' and caravanners' list for ticking: the amenities here include a recently-built toilet and shower block which also has disabled facilities and a family room.

What customers say

A lovely, tidy, and quiet spot with great views of the Black Mountains. People rave about the friendly owner, James, and the spotless facilities. Easy walks to Hay-on-Wye are a plus. Spacious, well-kept sites. Some road noise, but it doesn't spoil the trip. Lots want to come back.

3 bedroom static caravan

Liked Lovely peaceful site in the countryside. Occasional traffic noise but did not bother us. Could fit two seats out on the side decking. Decent shower and comfy bed.

Disliked No heating!!!! We froze on the first night but then went out and bought a heater. Uncomfy seating but used our folding chairs.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your review. We are pleased you described our site as 'lovely and peaceful' and enjoyed certain aspects of our facilities. We hope you liked the view while sitting on the side decking, and you could have also used the grass area by the caravan if you wanted to. We are sorry to hear you felt cold on your first night. In the static, there is a fixed gas fire in the lounge and we also left an additional portable electric fire for your use, especially as at the time of your stay it was particularly cold. Extra blankets, in the bedroom cupboards, are provided. Regarding the seating, it is the standard design for this type of static caravan and we are sorry you found this uncomfortable. We want our guests to be completely relaxed and really enjoy their stay with us. We would have gladly provided another additional heater straight away to save you buying one.

Great site will be back

Powered concrete slab caravan site

Liked Excellent site, very clean and well looked after. Storm Dave caused a few issues, so I did not put up the awning , site owner advised not to,which I am glad of the advice.
Owners are very helpful and spent time explaining how the site works and gave directions on how to walk to Hay-on -Wye (40minute walk). Lovely walk.

Disliked No dislikes.

Local attractions

Head to Hay for books, books and more books, and pub lunches/dinners in sunny beer gardens or indoors by roaring fires. The famed Hay Festival runs for 10 days each late May/early June; also in the area, check out the Brecon Jazz Festival at Brecon (20 minutes' drive) in August and Royal Welsh Show at Builth Wells (25 minutes) in July, the biggest agricultural show in the world. Heading outdoors, the Black Mountains, Wye Valley and Brecon Beacons National Park are beacons for those who like tramping around the outdoors: there are way too many activities and options to list here, but popular options include cycling, pony trekking, golfing, climbing, canoeing, potholing, whitewater rafting, fishing... Over the border, Herefordshire and the Golden Valley, in the lee of the Black Mountains, also have quite the pile going on, and amid similarly splendid scenery too. Visit Arthur's Stone (20 minutes) if you'd like to see what a neolithic burial chamber looks like after 5,000 or so years (pretty well preserved is the answer), or head on to Hereford (half an hour) for museums, the cathedral and tasty foodie/drinkie pickings.
