  • Friendly well-maintained site with easy access to the M4
  • A 20-minute walk to the Fourteen Locks Canal Centre and popular trails
  • A short walk cafés and bus stops in Newport's scenic Ridgeway area
Looking for a handy dog-friendly base from which it’s easy to visit the likes of Cardiff and the Wye Valley? Hold your horses, for Northern Hay Stable is a very friendly family-run site next to a horse-riding school in the Ridgeway area of Newport. The Ridgeway area is a scenic part of Newport with views of the city – and handily enough, Northern Hay Stables is a 20-minute walk from one of its most popular dog-friendly cafés. Closer by, 10 minutes’ walk away from the site, there’s also an old-fashioned café serving tasty ice cream. When you want to explore the city, there is a handy 15-minute connection to the city centre from the bus stop five minutes’ walk away. Otherwise, bring your bicycle to this well-maintained site, as it’s a 20-minute walk from the Fourteen Locks Canal Centre. This particular spot is on National Cycle Route 47 and has access to a pretty canal towpath and the Sirhowy Valley Walk. The Allt-Yr-Yn Nature Reserve is also a 40-minute walk away. For trips further afield, the site is just a one-minute drive from Junction 27 of the M4, which will take you to Cardiff in around 25 minutes and the Wye Valley National Landscape in around 40 minutes. Well-maintained facilities at this friendly site include a toilet and shower block and charging facilities. Barbecues have the green light.

Powered concrete slab motorhome site

Liked: very friendly owners

Disliked: the camp site was the parking area which backed onto the motorway above and there was road noise most of the night. I was not warned that you needed 20p pieces to use the shower so couldnt shower.

Powered concrete slab motorhome site

Liked: Country setting. Close to motorway.

Disliked: Site next to chickens and pidgeons, no gray water drain, one single shared toilet with lowest pedestal I have seen. Toilet next to horse stables. Shower on alternative site down narrow lane. Uneven ground on which peices of fake grass are laid.,is dangerous, my wife having stepped in a hidden dip and fell backwards, full onto her back. Individual units 4feet from each other, fire hazzard and lacks privacy. Provided fire pit and logs far too close for safety.

Powered concrete slab motorhome site

Liked: Super location just off the M4. It’s a farmyard/land area with horses and chickens. There are 2 hard standing pitches in the corner of the yard and a camping field. Outside toilet. No showers or kitchen facilities but we didn’t need in a campervan. Owner said the kids could collect eggs in The morning for breakfast. There are some Lovely walks round here but we didn’t venture far as only a stopover.

Disliked: It’s not fully set up as a campervan or camping facility. The owners said they were working on it but if you need a stop over on a long journey and can provide for yourselves it’s good enough. On that basis the price is prob a bit steep given the lack of facilities so far.

Liked: Fire pit area, but only if you get the spot next to it.

Disliked: Shower was a short walk down the road and had to wait as there's one very small cubicle for both sites. Very close to others. Situated at Crystal Stables not Northern Hay!
