  • Family-run Mid Wales farm site and wildlife haven just off the A44
  • Llandrindod Wells 10 minutes’ drive; Hay-on-Wye 40 minutes
  • Local pub with beer garden accessed from the back of the site
Stopping over for a night, or in need of a base for a longer break meandering around Mid Wales? Either way, there’s a warm welcome at Dolswydd Caravan Park, in a handy spot just off the A44, 10 minutes’ drive from Llandrindod Wells. This family-run site is on the edge of a traditional working farm with a backdrop of open common land and the splendid Welsh hills behind. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it’s something of a wildlife haven, with regular visitors including red kites, otters, woodpeckers and hares, as well as the swans who stop by daily. Getting out and about in the local countryside is a cinch from here – walkers can hit major trails like Glyndŵr’s Way and the Offa’s Dyke Path (the visitor’s centre for the latter is in Knighton, a 20-minute drive away), or find quiet local lanes to wander along. Golf, horse riding, canoeing, archery and climbing are among the other activities available nearby, and there’s fishing next door to the site on the River Ithon. Modern facilities on site include bathrooms with toilets and showers, plus a washing machine. A short (500-metre) walk away through the back of the site is the local pub, which serves good home-cooked food and has a lovely riverside beer garden.

Liked A hidden little gem of a campsite!
Tranquil and spotlessly clean. Didn't use shower block as we use our caravan, but it looks relatively new and well kept.
Majority of caravans seemed to be seasonal, but everyone was very friendly and helpful.
Set on a working farm with river right by the Pitches........stunning!
Pitches on the small size but if it's huge Pitches, clubhouse, kids play area etc then go to a large commercial site!
Really can't fault this little site.

Liked Nice enough, quiet, just what you want if you want that kind of thing

Disliked Shower in men's block was a bit of a dribble, ladies apparently fine

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thanks for visiting. If you dial the shower back it find a bit more pressure. The showers were changed three years ago and are water saving showers. They do the job, but dont waste water.

Loved it and will definitely be back k again

Liked Lovely pitch

Disliked Showers not great

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for visiting.
We do wish you had of made us aware of any concerns about the shower at the time and we could have helped to find a solution. We cant help afterwards. If it was pressure, you can turn the dial back a bit and it finds more pressure, it just takes a bit of patience. Thank you for your further booking and the nice conversation.

Local attractions

On the outskirts of Rhayader, the Red Kite Feeding Station - Gigrin Farm (20 minutes’ drive) features several hides (including one 10 metres above the ground, for great aerial photography) from where you can gaze in awe at the spectacle of hundreds of red kites swooping on a feeding field to catch juicy meat morsels. Check out the lush displays of azaleas and maple trees at Hergest Croft Gardens (20 minutes), where you can also take a stroll through a colourful orchard and among giant rhododendrons. Afterwards, drive a little farther to the Small Breeds Farm Park (25 minutes), which is home to rabbits and guinea pigs, plus exotic birds like kookaburras. Hay-on-Wye (40 minutes) is renowned globally for its literary festival, which takes place in late spring. However, at any other time of year, you can still soak up the literary vibe by visiting the town’s many bookshops. If you happen to be in Hay on a Thursday, the weekly market is a top place to stock up on local produce.
